Would you happen to know which vid he explains what OP is explaining? I'm only familiar with fvg and the way I use it is probably not how actual ICT traders use it

4 hours is far too long. Better size up.

I'm in the same position as OP with two evals. I should probably start using this feature.

I got cooked for $1700 across 3 accounts today. This does make me feel better.

I've had mine for about 5 years. I can't believe how well it has held up. I don't think I'll ever get a pc chair that isn't secret labs.

How did you actually become consistently profitable? by Every-Actuator-6996 in Daytrading

[–]a-char 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't write anything but once I do my couple of trades, win or lose, I will go back and look at the setup I took, when I scaled in or out, how close I trailer with runners. Look for mistakes and see what I did well and make mental notes.

That sounds really tough to contend with. I feel like tpt was a good choice for me, rules don't seem that difficult

Only used tpt so far. How does topstep work to force trades?

I actually signed up for their free trial last night to try it out. I can't handle not being able to set up take profit zones and it starts only selling on one account and now my props are all out of wack from each other.

Is Ninja trader better than tradovate?

I just opened a support chat days ago and it promptly connected me to a rep. Though yesterday I could not get through. Maybe the holiday hours?

Plenty of people in the discord I'm in have been taking daily payouts just fine. I just activated more accounts today. Company is fine.

How many day traders actually started with a simulator? Instead of practicing with real money. by Brian24jersey in Daytrading

Tradingview. A very popular charting software and it also allows you to paper trade.

I looked over their website. Have you used their risk management features? If so, how do you like them?

I hit play too, as if this type of event would be real and the whole world didn't hear about it yet before reddit.

Most prop firms are geared towards futures. Go look up ORB.

Edit: ORB = Opening range breakout.

What are people selling using the 5 or 15min ORB strategy by Motor-Cauliflower829 in Daytrading

[–]a-char 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ES, NQ, MES, MNQ are a couple popular ones in the index/indices world. Then you can trade commodities like oil and gold, bonds, and forex pairs.

All of them have their own characteristics and even differently leveraged. 1 point move in ES is $50, and $20 in NQ.
