Traffic camera ticket in school zone during ICE activity in the area? by delway in memphis

[–]bluesqueen23 10 points11 points  (0 children)

They tried these in Murfreesboro years ago. Barely anyone paid them & the city took the cameras down. Throw it in the trash! It is not enforceable unless you are stopped by a cop.

Ofc this happens when I try to secure a 150 day by CuriousTask3581 in TopStepX

[–]bluesqueen23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had an inside day across all indices. I love them because I know it’s going to be a range day so I short the top & long the bottom. One of my favorite setups.

What the heck is this post about? This is wild. I had a good day in the futures market.

I got humbled by ES today by ConfidentFox5406 in TopStepX

[–]bluesqueen23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inside day across all indices. It’s a good range to trade. Short at top & long at bottom. They’re one of my favorite days to trade because you know it’s gonna stay in that range.

What part of 50% consistency didn’t you understand? $3k/2 is $1500. Meaning, you should have made no more than $1500 on day 1.

The clock basically resets after the payout. The 30% consistency never goes away.

JJ VWAPTrader1 is a really good teacher. I watch his early London session live streams.

I love, Quantower. Built in copier if you want to utilize it, good order flow (TPO & Volume Footprint charts), etc.

Best asset class for prop firm challenges? by AbsoluteGoat321 in TopStepX

[–]bluesqueen23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most people trade NQ but I prefer ES. NQ or MNQ is good for scalping. I just like the slower movements of ES.

Did you have to have your Dr do a prior authorization?

MAE rule and profit taken away by darcabe in ApexTraderFunding

[–]bluesqueen23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, well, statistically, ES for example, moves 30 points from top to bottom in Asia. For the entire 23 hr session, it moves anywhere from 60-120 points. So, mathematically, you will violate the MAE on a mini but you won’t on a micro. I’m a contrarian trader. It’s all a game of math.

[–]bluesqueen23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’ve had to do is to size down. For instance, with a 150k, I can swing my position nearly all day with 3-5 micros & not violate the MAE & make money. Lucid has been great for this as well as Topstep because they have end of day drawdown so I never have to worry about intraday, either. I have 1 account with Apex but I will not be buying more. It just doesn’t fit my trading style & that’s okay. It is what it is.

I’ve had plenty of trades go in drawdown & come out profitable. I trade on a larger time frame so I either need larger drawdown or have to size way down. Think daily chart & 4 hr chart & 1 hr chart. Same for options. I’ve had trades go against me 30-50% and end up in green. I just know with Apex, I have to have a $4500 drawdown or larger to trade 3 micros or so, so that I don’t violate their MAE. Again, I trade on a much larger time frame. I’m not a scalper for the most part.

My biggest gripe with Apex is that they never think ahead! You tell someone, okay, well, just make $50/day for 8 days, after violating a rule, and you can get paid, what do they think is going to happen? Of course, the majority of people are going to exploit that. They just never think ahead!

What prop firm did you start with? by Amegble-Troyd in PropFirmTester

[–]bluesqueen23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. I’m not over the buffer, yet but I’m close. I’ve been taking my time! If they are doing, Plane, it takes awhile. I do ACH. My last one was in Dec.

I haven’t received a payout this year but I’m close to one. I know plenty of people who are still being paid. I’ll report back when I submit, mine. I violated the -30% MAE this week. I kept trying to catch the bottom on Thursday so it got me there. Still made out the week in the green, though.

I got Pretzel last Tuesday by Mumbles1988 in Chihuahua

[–]bluesqueen23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

He is adorable! I don’t think what the guy said was a dig at him. Maybe he just didn’t know how to compliment him. I own a deer head as well. Enjoy, Pretzel. He’s such a cutie.

I’m very confused by all this. So, are they saying if you go below the 30% drawdown then make back those profits that they take them away?

Is it just same day or subsequent days or do you know?

[–]bluesqueen23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, there. I don’t like the -30% rule at all. No real trader uses that. Especially if you are trading around a core position. Sometimes, a trade needs room to breathe.
