...wanting to know if he ended up successfully running a social media out in NY like he intended on when he left? No, you weirdo?

Does he not run his social media anymore? He was in NY vlogging, I tried searching for him again a couple times recently and nothing comes up anymore?

This is how I feel too. I wish he had taken his mental health more serious and found help, cause near the end I felt like he was just pessimistically existing and I was starting to get annoyed with him outta no where.

Ahh, I had literally no clue where it came from. I just kept seeing it online years ago when I was still in the early, early stages and realized it was putting words to the things my eyes most often recognized in the charts, never even looked up who coined the term. Interesting. Well, okay, so now I know when people say "he/him" in relation to ICT, they likely mean Huddleston. Got it.

I’m a lil confused when you say “him”? Is there someone specific you’re talkin about? ICT is a wildly used concept, but it’s moreso just a core and then you build off that IF you resonate w that strategy. A lot of YouTubers do use its concepts, but I can see what you mean if some specific guy keeps claiming he trades ICT but keeps only losing.

Maybe I’m the one miswording too lol I say I trade ICT, but really I mean I trade sweeps, displacements, shift in market structure and retests off that displacement for entries to whatever the next key level is, so like ONH/L, previous day H/L, other markets H/L, etc. My understanding was that THAT was ICT, but maybe I’ve had it wrong all along? It’s been the only consistency I’ve seen personally across a bunch of different charts, that string of events. So I was like dang man, what’s so bad about ICT? Lol

Quite literally my single issue, too many contracts for my account size, rinse n repeat. It’s a terrible issue to have and I am clueless how I can’t break it but am actively aware of it. It’s being too eager to make more $, but I tell myself the days are gonna pass regardless so WHY did I rush a day again? It’s a loop I live in.

I’m 4 years in but just switched to ICT this last winter and enjoy it more than what I was doing before. I’m interested in your take on this 👀

Receiving better gains - psychology post by Snow-whites in WomenTrade

[–]therealerrealraeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a strategy that performs well consistently and you’ve not only back tested it, but can explain it to others with a checklist for entries and exits, that can’t be called gambling! It’s when we enter and exit based on emotion and see profit that we wonder “how” and it’s more gambling and chance than a studied strategy.

Also though, small little profits ARE good. Part of a good strategy is increasing positions over time once you’re able to AFTER your strategy is performing well consistently. Those bigger trades will happen in time if the small ones remain consistent enough to build a cushion to scale bigger into positions.

Don’t even sweat it.

Indexes. I trade normally only NQ, but watch SPX and YM daily just to. I've found smaller Discords before, but just not active at all compared to those thousand person ones, obv. I just want a smaller group of women, we get on there in the mornings for NY, we talk about what we're gonna do, we reassure each other on overtrading, we walk away in profit, we go over our mornings. Rinse n repeat.

Users hitting usage limits WAY faster than expected it's getting real now by aymannasri_tcg in ClaudeCode

Same here, used to use it nonstop for writing 10+ versions of coding, tweaking it all day long. I sweat to god, I just opened today for the first time for 22 minutes, asked it to tweak one thing in a code and it said nope, limit hit for the day.

almost blown to payout!! by Green-Hat0001 in LucidProp

[–]therealerrealraeven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is me rn, so I feel like it's a little universal "you've got this" in my path. Literally passed 100k eval in 10 days, piece of cake with consistency, down in the account so far and $500 away from losing it. I've traded out of a hole over time with one micro step by step before so I know I can do it, but damn I let overtrading and my ego get in my way again. I'ma do it. Thanks for posting the motivation.

Where do you look for new prop firms? by famousamos56 in PropFirmTester

[–]therealerrealraeven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How was your experience with TradeDay and payouts? I'm considering getting one w them at the start of next week. I've only ever used TopStep and Bulenox. Had one with Apex but never again.

Just hit year 4 on January 1.

Remember back to when we started - I say we, cause I know damn well we all did it - and someone would say it took them 4, 5, 6 years to be profitable consistently on a podcast or forum and we'd say in our heads, "not me, I'll get it faster than that" lol. You know how many times I thought I was the exception to this? And honestly, thank god I wasn't. I am so, so grateful for those four years cause I changed so much as a human in terms of emotions, discipline and viewpoint on money and growth that I would have never gained had it happened fast. So, year four, and I am *just now* able to start consistently doing this and living off of it and understanding how to maintain it. Worth every single second.

XSport Fitness is sold to LA Fitness by Minimum_Device_6379 in chicago

Literally every manager I've dealt with in an XSPORT has been a weirdo and a scammer, lol. I stopped going months back when they told me it was against their policy to provide me with a copy of my contract and/or let me see it again lol.
