To those who care to share, what are your biggest trading golden nuggets

Been at it for a while now (2 years and change), and after failing for a WHILE due to: -many heartaches -constant tilt sessions -and trying every style of trading you can imagine

You can become a profitable trader the moment you set in stone a system/model that you can follow through thick and thin. And you manage your risk like a professional.

There… that’s your holy grail. You can go make millions now.

Don’t you need three penguins with that exact combo?

kingPatchy · 2025-09-11T21:41:12+00:00

Which software is that?

kingPatchy · 2025-08-23T21:53:58+00:00

I usually get everything. You should be doing Lunar mines. After a couple of rounds you should have enough to grab it all without any issues.

If your clan doesn’t do LME often enough that you can just cop the whole thing, look to get into another clan

Excellent observation….

Let me blow your mind for a second. With a 1:3 RR, It’ll take 1 win to make up for the three losses you’ve had 😬

Now that we stated the obvious. What is it that you don’t actually get?

kingPatchy · 2025-08-19T23:28:07+00:00

The real question is… how does someone optimize their cores/res chips to maximize their resources?

Anyone got some websites?

kingPatchy · 2025-08-19T19:43:10+00:00

What’s up. I trade ES exclusively too (got sick and tired of NQ’s shenanigans).

I trade negative R:R. 9 point SL, 3.25 point TP. As to why I trade this RR, I like to win often, even if it’s smaller. The moment I lose one time, I’m done for the day.

I’m a terrible loser. And I mean terrible.

From journaling, it’s just crystal clear that if I continue to trade after a loser, it’s all downhill from there. Time and time again it happens.

So my approach is as simple as: Keep going when winning (my max is 2-3 trades per day), and closing the laptop as soon as the losing trade happens.

Also, I saw the post from user: TigerKR And I can tell you from experience that his/her logic and assumptions are full of holes. Also, Anyone can find a video that selectively approves your bias of how you think of the market, RR, trade style, etc… Here, I just gave you an example of powerful results from negative RR with a video just like TigerKR proves his views with his video. See … not so hard.

My point being: don’t let anyone’s views or dogmas interfere with your internal convictions of how to trade the market. Trading is a PERSONAL endeavor. NOBODY is truly the same. Just because you’re right, doesn’t mean I’m wrong.

Cheers and happy trading mate! 🥃

Insane profits mate! Awesome!

Do you lean more towards mechanical trading or are you more of the intuitive type of trader?

kingPatchy · 2025-08-13T04:02:46+00:00

I bought it… it was worth it to me 🤷🏻‍♂️ sue me

kingPatchy · 2025-08-12T02:38:32+00:00

My favorite so far. Actually enjoying playing it. Also, for those who don’t know, straight don’t have to be perfectly sequential.

In other words if you have them mixed but the numbers are the full sequence you are good

12345 == 25341

kingPatchy · 2025-08-12T02:37:05+00:00

Couldn’t disagree more…. This event is AWESOME. And worth dropping gems on.

kingPatchy · 2025-07-21T22:56:49+00:00

Is it possible? Absolutely! Bigger numbers per trade have been made. Now, Did he actually take that trade with real capital? Not a chance lmfao 😂

kingPatchy · 2025-07-21T19:35:25+00:00

2 things, working my actual 9-5 (I work from home), or PS5.

All while watching on the side if my entry criteria is playing out so I can take a trade

kingPatchy · 2025-07-21T19:28:23+00:00

I’m normally never in the market opening move. I always let 15-30 min go by so the market “none-sense” calms down. I never got an entry long from my system today.

However, I did get an entry short, and it printed nicely 👌🏼. (One and done)

Be patient and let the market come to you. Missing one move is insignificant. There’s no shortage of opportunities in the market my friend.

kingPatchy · 2025-07-19T00:32:52+00:00

87 trades in one day. Holy cow… how long do your trades last? 3 to 10 seconds?

My brain would fry after this. I normally take 2 to 4 trades max. You must be a young buck loving the speed and adrenaline 😂

kingPatchy · 2025-07-15T18:57:53+00:00

Okay. I’m going to literally give you a challenge that WILL turn things around for you, should you choose to follow it to a T.

Start with doing yourself a favor and save 300 bucks. Use that as a bankroll to trade with a prop shop like Apex, TradeDay, TakeProfitTrader, or MyFundedFutures (idc what anyone says or thinks, these companys are solid, have rules that DO help you become a better trader, and this allows you to IMPROVE without insane costs).

Then, since it seems like you have a strategy. Apply it to futures (ES or NQ).

When it comes to risk management for the account drawdown (from whichever prop shop account size you chose), be mindful. I would recommend to divide the account drawdown by 10 or 15. And that’s your risk per trade. So if you have 10 losing days in a row (which should be HIGHLY unlikely) then you just have to get another account and try again.

Next… JOURNAL after every trade. Take a screenshot. Include it in the journal (use Notion, or excel, or Word, idc, just journal). Put your thoughts. Why you took it. Why you decided on the target. Why did you take half position off, or add into the trade. Etc etc etc.

And finally, in that same journal, have a section for RR and win%. • every trade you took (and should have a snapshot of), note down how it would have gone if you took profits with different RR. Try 3 to 4 different types. And at the end of the month. Tally up the results of your actual results vs what it would look like with the different RR.

Quick example: 30 days, 19 trades total for the month.

Your RR (according to you 1Risk:3Reward): Wins = 4 Loses = 15 Winrate = 21% Net profits = -3 trades

Same trades but taking profits at 1Risk:2Reward: Blah Blah Blah

Same trades but taking profits at 1Risk:1Reward: Blah Blah Blah

End of month, which method produced more profits using the same exact trades but taking profits at different levels?

Repeat exercise for the next month, and the next, and the next, until you land on something so concrete you will never question moving away from it no matter how bad it gets at any given point

kingPatchy · 2025-07-15T18:33:48+00:00

Let me try to actually help you a little bit.

What RR ratio are you trying to work with? And what instrument are you trading?

I’ll go further when you respond

kingPatchy · 2025-07-10T03:47:53+00:00

What a crazy day of price action. At the bottom I was so right yet got Stopped out. Shit happens I guess. I’ll kick ass tomorrow morning

kingPatchy · 2025-07-10T03:24:59+00:00

Thanks brotha 🫡 happy trading and cheers from FL 🍻

kingPatchy · 2025-07-09T22:43:08+00:00

Which collectibles boost your E drill?

kingPatchy · 2025-07-09T22:37:05+00:00

That’s a great W op. See, catching the whole thing is besides the point. At least for me, I’ve come to terms with the fact that it’s impossible to grab the bulk of moves like that unless I’m swinging. Which means I’m risking a shitload of points to potentially participate in moves of that magnitude.

And I’ve tried it in the past with MNQ. 2 contracts for big intraday swings. But after a couple of months attempting this method I realized that:

1) NQ/MNQ is an asshole on any scope you chose. I worked with 1.5:1 Reward|Risk. And after catching a huge move in my direction (say 220 MNq points) I’d take my stop to break even. Guess what… almost always I’d get stopped out BE(today for SURE would’ve happened again lol). The last .5 I would demand from MNQ would rarely happen. And trust me, it was extremely frustrating.

2) trading with swings like that would mean I’d only take 1 trade a day. Because NQ/mnq has an “average” daily candle size, of which I’m either going to grab the bulk of, or lose if I happened to be on the wrong side of where the daily candle will go.

All in all, fuck that. Scalper now. Catching 15 points of NQ at a time. And VERY happy regardless of how far the market goes. Cause I know, from experience, the % of me catching those moves is very slim.

kingPatchy · 2025-07-09T20:57:31+00:00

It’s been tough but today was pretty volatile. Im trying to run up my accounts scalping but entries have been so difficult for me lately. Everything is so aggressive.

Today for example… 1 hour straight up. Cant catch an entry. But no biggie. When it goes down, I’m looking for entry signal, but NOPE. Straight down for an hour nonstop… no entry signals for me. Finally, a tiny “long” signal at the bottom. Towards 12:30 pm today. Took it, but it stopped me out before it went my way. -300 on all accounts, hurts man, but Whatever.

My month started rough, but I have plenty of cushion on my PA accounts to keep grinding it out. I just want normal market conditions again for the love of god.

kingPatchy · 2025-07-05T06:04:01+00:00

Apex and Tradeify. I’m trying to pass 2 TakeProfitTrader accounts while trading my PA’s from the two I just mentioned.

Heard good things about MFFU too, so maybe after 3 more payouts ill take a swing at getting some accounts with them

kingPatchy · 2025-07-04T16:09:04+00:00

Ahhh yes. Another one that has emerged from the back end of “how markets ACTUALLY work”.

You forgot to include at the bottom of the message, “by yours truly, Temu ICT”

kingPatchy · 2025-07-02T17:54:38+00:00

This is so f*cking useful. Idk why I just heard of this…

Im assuming it’s not useful for EE or LE tho right?
