Okay, hello everybody. Hi guys. Hope you guys are doing well. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whatever time it is for you. I know there's people from all over, so hello. Um, thank you for being on here on this webinar. Um, let me see. Hi. All right, yes, we're about to get started. Okay.
Um, well, first, let me just tell you guys my name because some people might not know me. No one. Okay, whatever. Um, hi, my name is Trinity. I'm going to be talking about my strategy today. Um, just doing an overall breakdown of it because a lot of people, um, want to know about it. Uh, so yeah, we got a lot of people on here. Hello. I'm glad you're here too. Um, but yeah, I do want to quickly ask if you guys feel comfortable answering the question. Okay. For those who are on right now, I just want to know how long have you guys been trading? Or like, have you guys been trading futures? Are you coming from options to futures, or from Forex to futures, or are you beginners? Like, where y'all at? Just, I'm just trying to. Okay, option, future, three years. Futures beginner, beginner. Okay. I'm just trying to see. Okay, okay. Six weeks. Oh, okay. Less than a year for your options. New. Okay. A lot of people are new. Okay. I was just asking because I need to see how fast I need to talk. No, I'm just kidding. But I just want to see. I'm a week one. That's great. Okay. So a, a, a wide variety. Okay. A wide variety. Okay. Okay, guys, well, all right. Well, we're about to learn my strategy then. Um, I do want to say before we get started, just to give a little bit of information. Number one, I only trade NASDAQ. Okay. So I only trade NASDAQ futures, INQ futures. Okay. I don't trade ES or gold or anything else. Um, I only trade NASDAQ. I don't look at other ETFs or stocks or anything. Um, I just trade NASDAQ. Okay. So that's number one. So when I'm talking today, um, my strategy, it does work for other futures, but I just want to let you guys know I do only trade NASDAQ for those who don't know. Okay. Um, and then also, I don't only use the 15-second chart that you guys see in the videos. Obviously, those in the Discord, y'all know. Um, but for those who don't know, the videos that you see, I don't just use the 15-second chart. So we're going to be going through my full strategy today. Okay. So yes, let's get to that. Yes, this is recorded. So I'm gonna send this link out to everyone after, um, if you miss it or if you, something happens. All right. Anyways, oh, also one more thing before we get started. All right. We're going to be going through my strategy, and then at the end, we're going to do a giveaway. Um, I'm gonna be giving one person, two people, um, 30 free days of Discord access, and then I'm also going to give you guys some discounts for the boot camp and the Discord. Um, but we'll get through this. All right. Now, let's go ahead and get started here. Yay. All right. Let's go ahead and get started. Oh, do we get record? Okay. Yes, I'm gonna send the, um, recording to the email. Yeah, I am. All right. Here we go. Okay. All right.
So, like I said, I'm going to be breaking down my strategy. Um, the way that my strategy is, it is broken down into a formula. Okay. Um, so this is the strategy that I use: Identify plus Confirm equals Trade. All right. Uh, it's very important that you understand each part of the strategy because if you don't understand one part, your next part is not going to make sense. Or if you don't understand, you know, the confirm part, right? But you can identify, you know, whatever. Okay. We're going to talk about it. Um, you know, you just need to understand everything. Understand that it's a system that I use for every single trade. Okay. It's a strategy's foundational. Okay. Step by step. Okay.
So the first part of this formula is going to be this identify part. Okay. So what am I doing in this part? These are areas where I'm looking to be active in the market. So this is the first thing I do every single morning, right? Um, these are going to be areas of liquidity or areas where we have a lot of trading activity. Okay. So the market may be drawn to these areas, or we might see the market react at these areas, or as we're approaching these areas. Okay. So this is the first thing that I'm doing. Okay. Every single morning. Um, like it says here, watch price action at or as we're approaching these levels. Okay. So this is going to include macro and micro time frame analysis, meaning both higher time frame and lower time frame. So I'm starting all the way on the four hour and I'm moving on down all the way to about the 15 or the five minute, looking for the levels that I'm about to give you guys. Um, and for those in the Discord, you guys know this is what we do during pre-market. So we do this live every morning where we're looking for all these things. Um, but yeah, let's get to it. All right.
So number one, before I, the levels, these levels, these identify levels, or these levels where we, we're looking to take trades at, they need to be valid according to technicals. Okay. Um, and these are the list of the levels. All right. And it's very important that these levels are valid according to technicals. Um, because, because if they're not, then our trades, or where we take our trades, is going to be inaccurate, or it's going to be based off of inaccurate information. Okay. And something's going to be wrong. All right. So the levels that I do use, that I do mark out, like I said, starting on that four hour, going all the way down. Um, and again, let me just say this really quick. I'm gonna walk through a trade today from yesterday, a trade that I took yesterday. I'm gonna walk through a trade as we go through each part so that you can see how the strategy applies in the actual market. Okay. So the levels that I use: key levels and historic reactions. That's number one. Okay. To keep it simple, it's just support and resistance. Okay. Very simple, but levels that the market has reacted to in the past. Okay. That's the first level. Then we have patterns or trend lines. Okay. A lot of people might say trend lines, chart patterns, you can't use them in 2024. And I understand, a lot of false breakouts, all this kind of stuff. But that's why this second part of the formula that we're going to get to in a second is very important. Okay. You're going to understand a little bit, but you can use chart patterns, you can use trend lines, you can use regular support and resistance as long as you do some type of price and volume analysis at those levels, which we're going to talk about in a second. All right. So we have those, um, areas of supply, areas of demand. Okay. Balances, imbalances, levels from order flow. All of these are going to be levels that I'm looking for. Like I said, mainly during pre-market. Sometimes levels will form during the, the actual trading session, but mainly this is what I'm doing. This is what I'm doing. This is what I'm looking for during pre-market. Okay. To find out where do I want to be active in the market? Where am I looking to actually take a trade? Okay. Um, and these levels can be used as stop losses, entries, or targets. And we'll get to that in a second. But these are going to be those levels. So let's go over to TradingView now, and we're going to kind of do, um, like a little, how I do during pre-market. Okay. We're going to do this first part of the formula so that we can go step by step, and that you guys can see it as we are, you know, as we're going through. All right. So, uh, hold on. I have to share my screen again. New share screen. All right. Here we go. All right. You guys should be able to see my screen. Yes.
All right. So, like I said, when I'm doing this, I'm starting on the four hour. I'm going all the way down, looking for all those levels that we had listed out. Okay. So I'm going to be using a trade from yesterday that I took yesterday. I like to use relevant examples, even in the boot camp, um, that we're going to do later on, or that I'm going to give you guys a discount code for. It's going to be all relevant, relevant examples, sorry. Um, because, you know, the market's always changing, so it's important that we learn according to what the market is doing currently. All right. So, um, okay, one more thing also, I'm not going to be able to go super in-depth right now because obviously this is just an hour long thing, or hour or so, hour, less than hour. Okay. Whatever. Um, but we're going to go through this. Um, and like I said, I am going to give you guys a discount code to the boot camp where we're going to really go into depth about everything that I'm going to mention today. But just to give you guys a little heads up. All right. So first thing, I'm just going to mark out levels, like I mentioned, four hour, all the way down to about the 15 and the five. All right. First thing I see here is, uh, a supply zone up here. Okay. So when we're talking about supply, just briefly, supply and demand, um, we have this small green basing candle here and this big imbalanced candle moved down. All right. So we got this zone here, um, that we have marked from open to high. So I'm just going to mark this very quickly. Okay. Um, as a four hour. All right. And guys, keep in mind while we're doing this, because I know a lot of people come from a lot of different backgrounds, a lot of different teachers, came from a lot of different things. There's no one-size-fits-all to trading. Okay. So if you see me doing something that you're not used to, or that you feel like is odd, it's okay. Just know that, um, what works for me works for me. What works for you might work for you, and it's okay. Okay. Cuz I know a lot of people are like, well, that doesn't work. Okay. Anyways, so we have that there. Um, next, next, next is going to be, um, this level here that we have an imbalance above at. So remember, well, for those who do know, when we're talking about balances and imbalances, um, we have this big imbalance candle that formed, well, technically on Tuesday, not yesterday. This big imbalance that formed on Tuesday. We had that big move down. For those that know, for those that do trade, um, NASDAQ or ES, whatever, um, you know, we moved down very, very much, um, on Tuesday. Okay. So we had an imbalance that formed. So typically, when I'm marking out imbalances, I'll look for a level of support or resistance, um, before the imbalance. So in this case, we have this level of resistance, and then above that level of resistance, we have the imbalance. So I would mark this level as an imbalance above. Okay. So with that, um, just means that this is a level where, or an area where, once we get past this, what is this, 394 level, we can move up and fill this imbalance. Okay. Because there's not a lot of trading activity in this area because, you know, it's an imbalance in the market, as opposed to up here where we had a market moving sideways and consolidating. All right. Obviously, the market was balanced, a lot of trading activity going on, going on up there. Okay. Um, but yeah, someone said, isn't it a fair value gap? See what I'm saying, guys? Okay. So call it what you want. It's, um, you know, that's, that was the point that I was trying to make earlier. Um, you might come from a different trading background or learn from somebody different, so the terms may be different. Um, I do know what a fair value gap is. I don't use them in this case. Technically, it's the same thing though. Okay. Um, but this is, keep in mind, this is like a, okay, we're just going to move on. All right. But, okay, yes, if you want to say it is, then yes. Okay. Now, on to the four hour. Oh, wait, hold on. Oh, yeah, I'm on the right chart. All right. On to the four hour. And actually, let me just say, I'm going to be marking in between here for now because the trade, I'm not going to mark out like the entire chart. I'm just going to mark out in between here for now, in between these two red lines. Okay. Uh, okay. All right. Okay. Um, on to the three hour. Like I said, I'm starting on the four hour, going all the way down, looking for those, those levels on every single time frame. Okay. Um, I don't really see anything on the three hour. There's not going to always be levels on every time frame. Um, keep it pretty simple. So if it's not there, I'm not going to force it. Okay. Um, all right, y'all are funny. All right. Uh, two hour. Still got that same supply zone up there. We also have another supply zone here. You want to call it order block, literally, whatever you want to call it, it's fine. Okay. It's literally okay. All right. So, got that zone there. We're going to mark that from open to high of that basing candle. Okay. Um, I'm going to mark this out as a 2H hour because we're on the 2 hour. Yes. We're on the 2 hour. Yes. Okay. We're on the two hour and that's that. All right. So these supply zones, just for those who don't know, these are areas where we have an excess of sell orders. Okay. Um, when we're talking about demand zones, we got an excess of buy orders in those areas. So in this case, we come back up into this zone, we might see price fall out of that zone. Um, or when we have demand zones, if we come down into the zone, you know, we might see price come down and then bounce out of the zone. All right. Um, why open to high? Because that's just how I mark them. That's just, that's just how I mark them. That's the zone that we want to look to see, you know, once price does come back into that zone, um, you know, look for reaction up at that level. Okay. Where we have the most amount of trading activity. Okay. Where there's a lot of liquidity. Okay. However you want to say it. All right. Um, on to the one hour. On to the one hour. On to the one hour. Okay. Nothing much for us. Um, quickly, here's an example of an invalidated zone though, just so that people can know. Just see over here, we have this small red basing candle, big imbalance candle move up. Um, we actually did react to this zone previously on Tuesday. So we came into the zone, y'all can see it, right? Yes. Bounced out of that zone. So yes, it was valid. But, but then you can see here, we broke the bottom of that zone. Um, so no longer valid. Just wanted to say that because a lot of people will have zones that the market is not respecting anymore, just cluttering up the chart. All right. Don't clutter up the chart. All right. Keep it clean. All right. 195. Let's see. Um, if we have anything here. Nothing much for us. 90. Nothing much for us. Like I said, we're just going to mark in between these red lines. Not going to be much. We're just going to get what we need. Okay. 30. Let's see. Now, actually, on this 30 minute, this 2 hour zone, we could actually move it down a little bit, um, to encompass this 30 minute as well. We have this small red base, small green basing candle here, sorry, and then this big imbalance candle move down. So we got a supply zone up here. All right. So I'm just going to drag this and then change this to 30 minute and 2 hour. All right. We're almost done with this. We're gonna move on to the, the next section of the strategy. Um, but anyways, 15. Let's see. Nothing much for us. Nothing, nothing much. Um, well, just for about that. All right. And then five minute. I do want to mark out this previous level of support here on this five here. Okay. Let's keep in mind this level here at, what, 341? Okay. So we got touch there, touch there, touch there. For those who are new, um, when we are marking out support and resistance, you know, we're just looking for levels that we have multiple touches at. So in this case, we have three touches at this level. Um, nice level of support. We broke below it, and so most of the time, support will become resistance. So I will just have this on my chart just to watch. Like I said, um, at this point, it's not necessarily I am going to take a trade at this area. It's more so, these are areas. All of these areas that I just marked out, these are areas that I want to watch where I want to potentially be active in the market. Okay. That second part that we're going to talk about in a second, um, we'll get a little bit deeper into it. But for now, just keep in mind these levels are, are where I want to potentially be active in the market. All right.
Before we go back over to the PowerPoint to move on to that second part, oh, also, remember I mentioned I'm also looking at levels from order flow. Okay. So me personally, if you don't know about order flow, I use Bookmap. Essentially, when we're talking about order flow, um, we're just able to see the passive orders, or the limit orders, sitting in the market. Okay. And a lot of times, these are levels that we can't see on a regular candlestick chart. Right. It's not going to look like a regular level of support, or a regular level of resistance. So we can look at Bookmap, or we can look at whatever form of order flow to be able to see those passive orders sitting in the market. All right. So with that being said, um, this specific day, there was, um, a level on order flow. So actually, let me share that really quick, just so you guys can see it. Okay. And then we'll mark that on the chart, and then we'll go back to the PowerPoint. Um, okay. So this is Bookmap for those who don't know. This is Bookmap. Um, like I said, I can't do super in-depth analysis and explanations and things like that right now. Um, but like I said, just know that when we're looking at things like this, order flow, we can see passive orders sitting in the market. So keep in mind, we was just charting out October 16th. Okay. What was that? Two days ago? Yes. One day ago. Um, two days ago, or one day ago. Oh, that was yesterday. Okay. October 16th was yesterday. Today. All right. So anyways, um, you can see the date here. All right. October 16th, 2024, on order flow here at 2350. So this is the price. Okay. We have the number 94. If we come over a little bit more, it was like 105. Okay. So as we were moving up, price was moving up, these sellers stepped in at 2350. All right. The exact time they stepped in, you can see was 10:11. All right. So we had sellers step in at 2350. All right. So I'm going to mark that on my chart because this is going to be a key area, or a key level that I need to be mindful of. All right. And this is just a random, um, a random area on our candlestick chart, which is why it's important to be able to, um, look at these levels on Bookmap. All right. So 2350, uh, the way I marked that out is just put sellers here. Okay. So I can know that those are, uh, sellers there from Bookmap. All right. So at this point, now that we've done our whole first part of the formula, that first identify part of the formula, um, where we're at right now, what bias, or what analysis can I come up with? Okay. Based off of the levels that I've just marked out. Okay. Obviously, uh, we're up at this level where we have sellers at on Bookmap. We are up at this, what is this, 341 level, which is again, that previous level of support. Okay. So now we're looking to see, is the market going to use this as resistance? Okay. So we're up at that level. We also have that supply zone above us. Okay. So we keep that in mind that we have all these levels above us. All right. That, um, we can see shorts come in at, or we can see the market react to up here and see sellers step in. All right. So with that being said, I'm going to obviously have a short bias as long as we stay under this 2341, 2350. All right. So that's the first part of the formula. And someone asked, um, am I doing this before or after market open? I'm doing this before. So every morning, um, we get on. For those in the Discord, we get on, we do this pre-market analysis. We're doing this before market open. All right. Every morning, marking out new levels, um, and things of that nature. Okay. Uh, we're going to move back over to our PowerPoint now, but just keep it in mind. So right now, we're thinking about getting into shorts. All right.
Let's move on to that next part of the strategy. Okay. Um, second. All right. I think you guys can see my screen. Okay. Yes. All right. So now that we, um, have identified these areas on our chart where we want to potentially be active in the market, we need to do some sort of price and volume analysis at these levels, or as we're approaching these levels, to actually confirm, you know, our bias, right? Um, um, like it says here, confirm when and why you want to actively participate in the market and enter a trade. Like I said before, we can have these levels on our chart, but we know the market's not perfect. We know the market's going to do what it wants to do. It's not going to respect all of our levels. So it's very important that as we're approaching these levels, or when we're at these key levels, we're still taking, you know, another step to validate our actual bias and not just hopping into trades. All right. So like it says here, this should validate your bias. Okay. Um, we're going to be analyzing price and volume to confirm when, when, and why we actually want to get into that trade. Okay. And this is how we're going to avoid those false breakouts. This is how we're going to avoid getting into trades based off of invalid levels, or levels that the market is not respecting, because we're going to analyze price and volume as we are, um, approaching those levels. Okay. And again, remember how previously I was talking about a lot of people say, oh, where trend lines and chart patterns, they don't work, this, this, and that. Yeah, they're not going to work if you're simply blindly hopping in at the break of a trend line, or at, you know, we break out of this chart pattern. You have to do volume, um, analysis and price analysis to actually confirm, is this breakout valid? Is the market actually trying to move this way? What are we actually doing? All right. So, um, things that we look for, like I said, can't go super deep into everything right now. Um, but just generally, things that I like to look for at these levels, or as we're approaching these key levels, are strong buyers. Okay. And you don't need to understand order flow fully to be able to read these things. You can look at a simple candlestick chart. Obviously, those that know, strong buyers, we're going to see big, strong, um, green candles, all right, moving up. Okay. Heavy sellers, big red candles, big bodies. Okay. Absorption. This just means when you're looking at a regular candlestick chart, if you don't, if you're not looking at order flow, um, this can be seen by looking at a lot of wicks. We're seeing a lot of wicks at a certain level. Okay. So say, like, price is moving up to a certain level, every time price tries to come up to that level, right above us, okay, so resistance, we see price wick down, or we see sellers absorb all of those, those buyers that try to come in at that level. Okay. That's absorption. All right. And then also being able to recognize liquidity grabs versus breakouts, or break of structures. Okay. Because, you know, a lot of times there are false breakouts, things like that, people get caught in them, and then all this extra stuff. Or also, um, you know, when you get into a trade and, you know, the market likes to stop hunt, so you set your stop loss, you know, where it needs to be, and then it stops you out and then goes your way. Being able to figure out that kind of stuff and set your stops in the right places, all this extra stuff. Okay. This is that part of the formula. Um, so let's move over to the chart and let's look at the volume. Let's look at price action back at those areas and see, is our analysis actually valid? Is our bias valid? Can we actually get into shorts up at this area? Okay. And as we're going through this trade, there's going to be a level that I'm going to mark out, and you'll be able to see, you know, the opposite, where the level is not valid, or the market is not respecting that level, and how we can see that, um, by analyzing volume and analyzing price as you're in the trade, or as, you know, whatever. Okay. Um, so when we're looking, I'm on the 15-second chart now because for those that know, well, I trade on the 15-second chart. Um, hold on. Okay. Yeah. So I trade on the 15-second chart. Um, and I take my entries mostly on the 15-second chart. Right. I'm looking on the lower time frames at this point. Once I do my higher time frame analysis and I know all my levels, I know my bias, I know what I, where I think the market is going, I'm on the 15-second looking for entries, analyzing price, analyzing volume. All right.
So remember, we have the sellers that came, were up here. Okay. Um, we also have 341. Okay. Um, and analyzing volume, number one, just as we're moving up in general, you can clearly see that volume is a little low. Um, the RSI is small, you know, yeah, we're moving up, but as we're moving up to these key areas, uh, volume is not that strong. Buy volume is not that strong, even though we actually are moving up. So that's one indication that, okay, as we're approaching these levels, I'm going to be watching these levels to see, you know, we might actually see shorts come in up at this level because as we're approaching this level, volume, by volume, as we're moving up, is really not that strong. All right. Another thing I like to look for right up at these levels, so like specifically with levels on Bookmap, um, is an aggressive move up into the level. Okay. So we clearly see volume is like very low as we're moving up. Okay. But at, right up when we get close to those levels, we see buyers start to step in very aggressively. Okay. You can see that down here. You can see it in the bodies. Buyers start to step in very aggressively up at, you know, these levels where we have sellers sitting at. All right. I like to see this more than I like to see, you know, once we're up here, um, volume is very low. Okay. I like to see an aggressive move up into that level, um, an aggressive, unexpected move up, and then, you know, we'll see price react immediately, um, if the level is valid. Okay. Most of the time. All right. So we can see here, as soon as we came up to 350, right, 2350, we see those sellers step in here. Okay. Pretty strong, letting me know, okay, this level is probably valid. I can probably start to look for an entry in this trade. Um, also, just coming on to this one minute, um, let me, like, go up a little bit more so that y'all can see. Let me see. All right. So even looking at this one minute, okay, coming back up to this 340 level, or 341 level, when we're looking down here at volume, because like I said, this is, we're analyzing price, we're analyzing volume, okay, to confirm our analysis. Even as we move back up towards these levels, volume by volume is very low. Okay. So we have to think, yes, we're moving up, but we're approaching the key levels. Okay. And so as we're approaching these key levels where sellers are sitting at, sitting at these, buyers are getting weak. So I can probably start to look for a short entry. Also, like I mentioned, absorption. Um, you know, just looking at all these wicks, every time price tries to come up, wick there, big wick there. Every time price tries to come up to these, um, these levels, we see these sellers step in and absorb that, um, absorb those buyers. All right. Um, so to me, like I said before, this is just letting me know that my analysis for shorts is probably going to be valid at these areas, and I can start to look for a trade. Like I said before, as long as we're still sitting under 341 and 350. Okay. Because these are going to be those key levels according to the technicals, like we were talking about before. These are going to be those key levels that we're looking for. Um, you know, that sellers are sitting at, and that, you know, we would like to see a reaction at. All right. So I'm going to go back to the, the PowerPoint for, um, that last section. Okay. Sorry, I just read something. All right. But we're going to go back to the PowerPoint for that last section. Okay. And then we're going to finish off this trade so that we can see the rest. Okay. One second. I'm going back to. [Music] It. Okay. All right.
So now that we've done all that, we have our area of interest, we know where we want to be active, we've analyzed price, we've analyzed volume at those areas, um, we have our bias, we've confirmed our bias. At this point, we can now enter the trade. All right. So like I said before, this is where I'll go into my lower time frames, such as the one minute or the 15 second, okay, and I'll, you know, start to look for an entry. All right. So in this trade part of the formula, this is where we want to manage risk effectively by using proper stop losses, proper targets, and using the right position size. A lot of people just don't know, no one teaches them. I had the same issue when I started, but it's just oversizing. Okay. Whether it be prop, live account, whatever, oversizing, risking too much, not knowing what's going on. Um, but we're going to talk about that in a second. All right. So that's that part of the formula, this trade part, um, basically just that trade management. Okay. Overall trade management. Um, stop loss, entry, targets, all that kind of stuff. Because we can know how to analyze the charts perfectly and beautifully, but if we don't know how to manage our trades effectively, if we don't know, you know, where to get good entries at, where to place our stop losses at, um, because our stop losses, like it says here, needs to be at valid areas according to the technicals, right? Where our analysis is actually invalidated. All right. So if we don't know where to put our stops at, where to get a right entry, where we can place, um, our target at, or, you know, look for different targets, right? It's not going to help us just knowing all this extra stuff. We still have to know how to manage trades, um, properly. All right. So again, like I said here, in the identify part, this part of the formula, or these levels can be used as stop loss, entries, and targets. Okay. So like I mentioned previously, um, we can use key levels or support and resistance as stop losses, entries, or targets. Okay. Same with patterns, trend lines, supply, demand. The end of an imbalance can be used as a target. Okay. And then also levels from order flow again, can also be used as targets, not only, um, entries or stop losses. All right. Um, and then when we're talking about calculating position size, I don't know if I mentioned this, but, um, number one, the way that I do it is first determine my stop loss. And we're going to go through this in a second. I determine my stop loss, determine my, um, where I want to get an entry into the position because I already know which way I think the market's going. Okay. Uh, and then figure out a max risk that you want to have, like a monetary amount, a dollar amount that you're willing to risk, and then that'll give you your position size. Okay. Um, like I said, we can't go super deep into it right now, but also depending if you're trading like NASDAQ, ES, Go, whatever you're trading, the calculation is going to be a little bit different. But that's generally how I do it. All right.
So let's move over to the chart to get through the rest of this trade here, and I have to share my screen. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Um, so like I said, we know that we're looking for shorts. All right. If we do get into shorts, number one, where can we potentially look to get out of this trade? All right. Where, um, where can I have my targets at? Right. And I'll talk about this more in the boot camp. I, like I said, it's just a lot of information, but I don't like to necessarily have a set take profit. A lot of you guys who watch my videos, y'all see, like, I, I'll trail my stops. That's just 'cause I'm a scalper. I trade like right around open, so market's super volatile, and the market can reverse on you really quickly. Okay. So I'll have an idea of where I want the market to go, or where, you know, the market is probably going to go, but I will still have my trailing stop to protect the position, just in case the market does move against me suddenly, because like I said, I do trade NASDAQ. For those that do trade NASDAQ, you know, especially at open, um, most of the time it's extremely volatile. All right. So all those levels that we mentioned before can be used as targets. In this case, these are the levels that I mentioned as targets. Like I said, this is a trade that I took in real life. Okay. So all this stuff I'm mentioning to you is not just hindsight. This is real life stuff that happens, stuff that I do, stuff that we do. Okay. All right. So the first level that I would use, or look to target, okay, or I just, I guess I say, I'd watch price at, not necessarily get out immediately, but I just would watch price at, would be around this, um, 306, 305 level. Okay. Why? Um, same thing with this previous level of support here on this five minute, resistance now. Okay. So we had previous, um, resistance here, here. Okay. We broke above it, retest, whatever. Okay. Respecting it now. Um, so that 305 level, I would just leave that on the chart just to watch. Not, I'm not saying I'm going to get out as soon as we hit this level. I'm just saying as we get closer to this area, this is a level that I need to watch. Okay. To see, should I get out of my trade here? Okay. It doesn't always mean get out though. Okay. That analyzing price and volume, that confirming part, also goes for when you're actually in trades. Because say I just get out the trade here, okay, just blindly, without analyzing price, without analyzing volume, I get myself out, and then the market continues to fall. How you going to feel? Okay. So that's why I, I always, um, you know, I always have possible targets. All right. So that's the first area I would watch. Second area I would watch would be right around here, this 282 level. Okay. Um, why? Same reason before. And remember, guys, I, a lot of people don't scalp, um, but remember, I scalp. Okay. So these are lower time frame levels, just small levels on these lower time frames that the market will possibly react to. So I'm just going to keep them on my chart to watch if I'm in a trade. All right. So again, this level here, we got touch here, touch here. Okay. So obviously the market has some trouble getting below this area previously. It formed support here. So I'm going to leave it on the chart. I'm going to watch this level if I am in shorts, because we might see some reaction at this level, um, if we do get down here. All right. And then the next level that I would mark out would be this here. Okay. This level's not as clear, um, but it is valid. Let's see. We have touch here, okay, touch here. We can see we came up to this level, um, still couldn't close above it. We pulled down a little bit still, but once we did get that close above that level, okay, with, you know, nice volume, we started moving up. All right. So it was previous resistance, same thing with the other little levels. Okay. The market might want to use it now as support. Okay. And like I said, these are not necessarily levels that I would be like, oh, I'm going to get into a trade again. We just want to watch price at these areas. Okay. So with that being said, we have our, our targets now. Let's figure out stop loss, entry, and position size. Okay. Um, I'm gonna go down to the 15 second now because that is, uh, what I do. I trade on the 15 second. All right. But anyways, if we are short, okay, these are the questions that you need to ask yourself. If we are short, where is my analysis invalidated? In this case, we know we have this 341 level. We know we have this 350 level where sellers are at, and we did see this immediate reaction right up at 350. So that lets me know, okay, um, if we get back above 350, or if price starts to push above 350 and it does not respect that level anymore, then there's a possibility that my short analysis is invalidated, and I should probably get out of the trade. All right. So that's probably where we would put our stop. Right. Um, ignore the entry for now, but we would have our stop not exactly at 350. Okay. Because that's how we're going to get stopped out sometimes. Okay. So we want to make sure when we are placing our stop losses, we're placing them, you know, a little above the actual level. Okay. Okay. However, you put it. All right. Not exactly at that level, because a lot of times, you know, you'll get into a trade, you get stopped out, and then it goes directly your way. Okay. This is why you have to be strategic with your stop losses. Okay. And understand, um, that the market is going to try to target your stop. And, um, move the stop loss a little above the actual level. All right. So our stop will be a little above 350. Okay. Now, where would I get an entry? Um, the market is already at where I would probably get an entry. So when we do this, I'll probably just, just do it like that. All right. But, but we can see here, like if I go back a little bit, um, like if you didn't see it in real life, if you didn't see it yet, we clearly have this, uh, 341 level. Okay. The market's staying below that level. All right. We're respecting that level. Okay. So I could get an entry if price comes back up there. Stop loss above 350. Or if price doesn't come back up there, we know it does. So that's where I'm going to get the entry. But we could get in, like, if we, like I said, okay, this is the 15 second again. Um, so we already have an overall direction for the market. So we could just use these little levels on the 15 second for entries. Okay. So if we ended up breaking, closing below here, we can also get an entry. All right. But we know the market's going to push up because we already saw it. So we're going to get our entry up here, um, up at 341. We're going to have about a 47 tick stop, I guess, right around 50 ticks. Okay. And then we're going to watch these levels. So this is going to be, um, possible take profit. Okay. Now, usually with these first take profit levels, I don't want to actually get out. I really want to see the market blow past these levels. Okay. So we got that possible take profit there. If I'm in multiple contracts, I'm definitely going to get out at that next key level, at that next area. So this is going to be take profit one. Right. I'm just putting this on the chart for you guys to actually be able to visualize it. Hold on. I'll answer that in just a second. And then this 258 level is where I would have full TP. Okay. Because at this point, this is a very big move down, and this is, you know, good enough. All right. Uh, let's see. I'll just put full TP here. Okay. So I'm gonna walk through this trade. Hopefully, I can do it good because replay kind of sucks sometimes, all right, like when you're doing it, it's kind of laggy. All right. Okay. So overall take profit is going to be like all the way down here, obviously. But we're going to watch this level for the full TP, and we're also going to watch this level, um, as we are moving down. Now, very quickly, would you consider it too early to enter right after the first or second retest of the level? No, honestly, I enter sometimes. I don't wait for a retest. Um, because I'm trading on such a low time frame, and like, I can get my stops really close, or I can get my entries really close to the stop, or have a really tight stop. I usually will not wait for the retest. Um, but only with certain things that, like, I've seen over and over and over and over, or if I have like a lot of confidence in the trade. Okay. Um, so no, I wouldn't necessarily wait for the second or third, or what you say, first or second retest, whatever. No, not the time. Okay. But anyways, we're going to, oh, we have to figure out our position size. All right. Quickly, let's just say we're going to risk $1,000 in this trade. Okay. Let's just say we're going to risk a thousand. Okay. Um, I already have it over here, but just for the sake of, like, going through it, um, we know that our stop loss is 48 ticks. Okay. You can see the ticks right there where it says 48 for those who don't know, in the red in the middle, for those who don't know. Okay. 48. All right. So as far as like, where my stop is going to be at, this is just to help calculate position size for those who are always getting into positions and losing too much money. Um, if I'm gonna only risk $1,000, that's my max risk. Like I said, we're going to determine our stop, we're going to determine our entry, we're going to determine a max monetary risk, and then we're going to figure out how many contracts can I be in. All right. This is mini, by the way. I trade NASDAQ E-mini. I don't trade micros, but if you were trading micros, you can follow the same steps. Okay. The numbers are just going to be a little bit different. All right. So in this case, um, 48 is our, our tick. Okay. So 48 is our stop loss. We have a 48 tick stop loss. Okay. If you calculate in points, okay, 12 points stop. I calculate in ticks though. Whatever. Same thing. So 12 point stop, 48 tick stop, same thing. Okay. How much can I risk in this position? So let's say if I'm in one contract, I'm only risking $240. I said I'm willing to risk a thousand. Okay. So I can up my contract size. Okay. Two, 480. I can up it again, three, 720. I can up it again, four, 960. Let's see about five. 1,200. If I said I'm gonna risk only $1,000, do I can't be in five contracts clearly? Okay. Because I'm gonna be risking too.
Much, all right. So, um, I'm gonna have to be in for contracts, okay? That's how you do that. For those that don't know, because a lot of people just be getting into a million thousand contracts randomly, no reason, and just risking too much, okay?
Now, let me move this. Okay, so that's how we do that. Now, um, someone said, "Where can I watch this recording?" I'mma send it out to everybody. I'mma send it out to y'all, okay? But as far as actually getting the entry, so we're going to do this in replay. See how it works out for us. Um, but we're going to get in at 340, okay? We're going to watch once we get down to 305. All right. Second TP, or really the first TP, is going to be 282. So, I'mma get out of two, cuz like I said, we can be in four. Where is it? We can be in four, okay? So, I'mma get out of two at 282. All right. And then full TP, I'm gonna have it down at 258. Okay. Ninja Trader is the answer to that question. Ninja Trader, Ninja Trader, Ninja Trader. All right.
So, let's do this here. I'm want to see if I can get it right. I might not be able to get it exactly because, um, okay. All right, guys. So, let's say we got into the shorts up here, right? Right around 341. All right. Our stop is up at right around, well, okay, it's a little bit off, but right around 350. Okay. 2, 350. All right. And then we're going to watch as we come down to 305. All right. I might need to speed this up. I don't know how slow this is going to go. Again, I'm on the 15-second chart. All right. Um, let's see. Maybe I should speed this up a little bit. It's going in slow motion. Yes, a little bit. All right. All right. Keep in mind, we're moving down. Okay. Imagine we're in this trade. We're in for contracts. Now, we got to watch this 305 level, just how we watch price up here, okay? We got to watch this 305 level. All right. Hopefully, when we get to this 305 level, we would like to see sellers be very strong and just break this level so that we don't have to worry about it. All right. Um, also, a way that I do trail is like, once we get past 305, I'll move my stop down right above 305. All right. So, we'll do that, and then we'll watch 282, or we'll get out of two at 282. All right.
Um, now look here. We break 38, 305 very strongly. Okay? Looking at, look at this selling pressure. Look at this volume. Okay? This level, like I said, I'm GNA give you guys an example of a level that the market is not respecting. Okay? This 305 level, market not respecting this level. Okay? So, I don't need to get out at this level. Okay? I don't have to get out. Why would I get out? All right. I'm simply just going to move my stop like right above 305. Okay? Because hopefully, we respect it now. Okay? Now that we're under it, hopefully, we respect it. So, I'm going to move my stop under that or right above that to protect my profits, but I don't need to get out right now. Okay? I can just trail. All right.
Now, once we get down to 282, I'm going to secure two. All right. This is just how I would do it. Now, if you don't have to, everyone's risk management is a little bit different. That's fine. Okay? Um, but, you know, let's just let it go down to 282. I'll answer that question in just a second. All right. We're right down at 282. So, just for the, the sake of, um, doing this, I would get out of two here. Okay? What am I in? Shorts. So, I buy back two. All right. So, we're up on this position. We're still in two contracts. Um, we're coming down to full TP at 258. Actually, let me drag that down there so we can get us out. All right. Coming down to full TP down there. Um, once we get below 282 strongly, like if we can close below that, I'll drag my stop down a little bit more, right up, right below, um, or right above 282. And as you can see, this 282 level is actually a level that, you know, the market is actually kind of reacting at. Okay? So, this is how we can see, is this level actually valid? Now, I know this 282 level. Okay? I need to watch this level. I need to be mindful of this level. All right. Um, let's let it keep going. I'm at it two. Okay? You see, we did have a little bit of reaction at that level, but eventually, these sellers steep back in. All right.
Now, in real life, I actually got stopped out right here. All right. Once we pushed past 282, I got stopped out on this wick up. All right. Um, but for the sake of this trade, you know, if you didn't get stopped out, you can keep coming down to 258. All right. Because we, you know, price still going down. All right. Um, anyways, price comes down to 258. TP hits. Right. Four contracts, you make $5, $330. If you were in two contracts only, risking what? $500 because we were only risking a thousand. What you make about 2600 or so? Okay. So, that's how that would work. That's how we would do that. And then you can see right up at, right up, or right down, down at this 258 level, grab liquidity, a little bit below that level, and then, well, market started moving back up. All right. So, that was a very nice full TP on that position. Like I said, in real life, yesterday, I got stopped out right around here on this wick up. But overall trade, for those who didn't get out and caught the whole thing, they caught the nice full, what, like almost 300 something ticks? Almost what? 325. All right.
Um, so that's the strategy there. I'll answer these questions in just, just a second. If you do have questions, you can send them now before I go back over to the thing about this specifically. Um, but that's the strategy. Um, as you guys saw, first thing we did was that identify part. So, we marked out our charts. Okay? Same thing we do during pre-market analysis in the Discord every single morning. We marked out our charts, looking for levels, um, of interest. All right. Let me actually go back to that, just so you guys can see it. All right. So, we did that. Next thing we did was confirm, meaning we analyze price and volume up at those levels, up at those areas of interest, to see, can I actually get in shorts here? Or even as we were in the trade, should I get out of this, um, this position here? Or can I hold past this level? Or should I get out of a few contracts here? Right? Okay, that's that confirmed part. And then the trade part, we manage risk. Okay? So, our stop loss is set at a valid area. Our take profits are set at valid areas on our chart. Um, and then our entry is at a nice valid area too. And then also, we manage risk properly by using the right position size. All right. So, that's the strategy overall. Um, just a brief overview of it for those who needed to know or for those who know but needed more clarification. All right.
Um, somebody said, "Why did you not enter when the price tapped the first time?" As in, at like 10:28? Oh, no reason. Um, like I said, in real life, like if you miss that first entry, if price never came back up, then I would have got my entry here. Okay? Remember, I drew that out earlier. This is just a 15-second chart. I would have got an entry here, um, and price moved down. It just, what was happening? No specific reason. But you definitely could have. You even could have got an entry right all the way up at 350 and stopped right above 350 for an even tighter stop. All right. So, your entry can be wherever you want it in this general area. Um, yeah, you wouldn't have, you don't have to wait. You could have even got it higher up or lower if you want. Okay? Just depending on you and how you want to do.
Um, let me get this. Bookmark this. Book map also has time frames. Yes, it does. Yes, yes. Um, hold on. All right, let me answer these questions first. I'm G answer a few questions, and then we're going to, we're going to, I'm G give y'all those discount codes and do the giveaway, and then if y'all have more questions, we'll do that because I know some people might have to go. Okay? Um, oh, that's a lot of questions. Okay, hold on. On Ninja Trader, how do you take off contracts when you hit your TP without closing all the way out? The same way I did on here. Um, back to TradingView. The same way I did on TradingView. So, like, yeah, I'm moving it back in a second. Okay? You can see it all right. Um, so, yeah, the same way that I did on here. So, like, if I'm in four contracts, right? And I'm in shorts, I would just change this to two in Ninja Trader. Okay? And then since I'm in shorts, I'm just going to click buy, and then it's going to close out two contracts. That's how you could do that.
Um, now, someone else said, "Your trailing stop at 2309 to protect your profit." If the price came back to 2309, you will get stopped out. Yes, you'll get stopped out, but you'll get stopped out in profit. Okay? Yeah, a lot in profit. If you're interested in the Discord, I'm about to give you guys a discount code. Okay? No, I, well, I trade on. Okay. I don't really trade on Sundays, but I have traded on Sundays, like two week, two weeks ago, I traded on Sunday, but not, typically not usually. How do we get Bookmap? Bookmap.com. And then if you're trading futures, you're going to need Global or Global Plus. Okay? Can you do that on the Super DOM on Ninja Trader? I'm sure you can. I use basic entry, though. But I'm sure you can, though. I take about two to three trades. No, one to two, mostly one to two. Okay? Now, if I'm trading throughout the day, it might come out to three, like if I trade pre-market open and later on, if I just happen to look at it and stuff happens and it's looking nice, but typically, like if I'm on, it's just one in the morning and I'm done. But, you know.
Okay, more questions keep coming. So, I think I should do this first and then answer the questions because people might have to go. Um, I'll do these real quick and then I'll, I'll, I'll go over and then I'll come back. Do I also use trend lines to trail? No, no, no, not really. Well, what are you saying? Like, say, for example, in this case, this is not, I wouldn't actually mark this out like this, so ignore this, but this is just for example. I would not mark this out like this. Okay? Keep in mind. All right. But let's just say this is a trend line, right? Are you saying like, if I was in shorts, would I get out if we break above the trend line? Oh, yes, yes, yes. Then, yes. Yeah, I'll use it like that sometimes. But in this case, like in shorts, when we do have stuff like this, I like to see price start to pull away from the trend line above us, right? Or in longs, start to pull away from the trend line. So, yeah, I will use it.
Um, I'm answer those questions in a second. I'm going to do these ones over here and then, uh, how much do you think Bookmap has changed the way you trade? If not much, it's not necessary. Oh, Bookmap is very helpful. Um, I'd say, I don't know how I traded without it before, but like, I could trade without it, but it's, I'm missing a lot of information. Okay? So, it's definitely helpful. And it's definitely helpful. I think that once you have a good foundation of everything, then getting Bookmap will be a great enhancement to your trading. Yes. And then someone said, "This is the last question." I'm G ask. Answer the other questions later in a second. Okay? How do you get to sell and buy icons below the taskbar? No, it's okay. Not random. Um, so down here, if you're in paper, oh, my bad. No, hold on. The reason it's like this is because I'm in replay because I had to play the trade back for you. Let me get out of replay and see if it's still down there. Did I get out of replay? No. Do you want to exit? Yes. Yeah, it's not, it's not going to be there. But when you click trade, it's over here. I don't know how to get it to the bottom, though, but it's over here when you click on that trade when you're in paper trading. Once you log into paper trading. But yeah.
Okay, so now quickly, guys, before I answer the rest of those questions, because no, I don't use any programmable controllers. Okay? But I'm answer the rest of the questions second. I keep. Okay, we're going to, I'm G give you guys the discount codes real quick, sorry, and then I'mma answer the rest of the questions. Okay? Because I know people have to go. Like I said. Okay? Now, let me go back to this. And so the first discount code I'm about to give y'all is going to be for the boot camp. Okay? Um, you should be able to see the screen. It's usually 99. You can get 15% off if you use the code 5 day. So, the boot camp is essentially what we did today. We're going to do in super great detail, break down everything, all those levels, break them down, how to find them, how to mark them out properly. Um, more examples, um, just more in-depth explanation, explanation, um, to help you fully understand and fully grasp everything. Also, during the boot camp, you'll get access to the live training. So, trade, or we do trade, but the trainings are, um, for 5 days. Okay? So, November 4th, 5 days straight, 6 PM EST on Zoom. Um, we're going to do private Q&A after. You can use this QR code to actually get to the site, or you can just go to my website. Um, but you can use, um, what, what? Okay, sorry. Um, we're going to be doing live trading in the Discord, which you'll get access to for those 5 days. Also, access to pre-market, which is also what we kind of just did, um, during that first part of the formula. Um, access to giveaway, whatever. But mainly, the strategy is what I'll be breaking down in the boot camp. Okay? In depth. And so, if you want to join that, you can join it and get 15% off by using the code five days. That's the point of this. Okay? And then you can scan this thingy here. Okay? If you actually want to go do that, or just go to ibv trading.com. That's that.
Um, and then the Discord, a lot of people are asking about the Discord. Um, the Discord is where we actually live trade every single day. Okay? We do educational calls, um, recaps. You can get all the recordings. Send out news every morning. We do giveaways every month. Okay? Different stuff like that. So, if you use the code 20 off, okay, you get three months for 20% off. Yeah, 20% off for the first three months. Okay? So, that's that. You can scan this QR code if you want to get to that, or you can go to the website again. IV, oh, actually, no, you can go to W. All right. Anyways, will it be recorded? Yeah, it's going to be recorded. The boot camp is recorded. So, with the boot camp, if that's what you're asking about, um, if you join, you'll get access to the recordings. You'll have access to those recordings forever. Okay? So, yeah. My trading times, I trade right at open, 9:30. It was 9:30 to 10, but, you know, if you have been trading NASDAQ, you know, right at open. Well, if you do trade open, it's been real choppy. Well, last, last week and like the first two days of this week, or first day of this week, it was real choppy right at open. So, when it's choppy, like if I don't get into anything, I usually get off at 10. But, um, I've been stay, well, I stayed on a little longer yesterday. So, whenever it is choppy or we don't get into anything immediately, I stay on till about 10:30. So, 9:30 to about 10:30. And we start pre-market at 8:40. And yes, I only trade NQ. No ES. Right now. When I get more time, I'm G start looking into ES, but right now, I only trade NQ. Okay?
Okay, now, a lot of people ask questions, and I do want to answer them. However, with the giveaway that we're about to do, it's going to clog up the chat. Here's what we're going to do, guys. If you have a question, we're going to do the giveaway, the one, the one month of free Discord access. We're going to do that. But if you have a question, or you had a question, copy it and then get ready to paste it again after the giveaway because I'm not going to find it. It's going to be too high up. Okay? Yeah, 9:30, 10:30, most of the time. Um, but like, sometimes I'll look pre-market, take a trade if it's nice, or I'll look, um, oh, later on, like around two or closer to market close to actually take a trade. Um, but yeah, now, like I said, guys, if you have a question, copy it and get ready to paste it back into the chat. Okay? Okay, because, um, I'm going to, it's going to clog up the chat. Yeah, we also do live pre-market analysis. Yes, we do. Um, Miss Mo, who said that you sent that only to the host and panelists, but she said, we do pre-market analysis and stuff too. Yes, we do do that every single day. Um, which is what we did today during that first part of the formula. Okay? Also, if you have a question, you can just put it in the question and answer thing, and it won't go away. But if you want to put it in the chat, it's about to go away. So, get ready to copy your question. All right. I'm about to do it.
All right, guys, so we're about to do a giveaway. Okay? Two people are going to get a month free of Discord access. You're welcome. Um, two people. Yes. So, the way we're going to do it is just very simple. All right. In a second, I'm G tell you what to do, and then I'mma choose, well, I'mma let a random thingy choose the people, and then if you win, I'm give you guys the email to send a a message to you, or you can just actually, yeah, I'm going send you guys email to send a message to. All right. So, um, just very quickly, if you want to be in this giveaway, just like send your name in the chat real quick. Just send your name. Yeah. Um, now, there's a lot of people in here, so I really would hope that you guys would not send your name too many times, but if you want to send your name more than once, that's fine. But it's a lot of people in here, so I'm just saying, guys, maybe I should pick four people. Let's pick four people. Okay? Okay. Now, are y'all done? Did everyone do it? Did everyone do it? All right, guys, I'm about to start picking the people. Okay? Okay. All right. Okay, guys, if you would, if you feel like it, then stop. If you don't feel like it, then you're making my life difficult. But if you feel like it, then please stop. I'm going to get all of these names. Okay? I think y'all are still sending them, which is so funny. All right, I'm getting all the names now. Hey, guys, now the way y'all are still sending is so crazy. I don't know how y'all expect me to get all these names if you keep sending them. I'm scrolling. About to put it into the thing. Guys, just give me a second because people keep sending my name. I'm going, I'm going, I'm going. This might take like two minutes. I'm gonna have to find a more efficient way to do this. Okay? All right, I'm getting, I'm almost done. I'm almost done. Okay? Okay. Are you okay? All right, guys. Oh, you're right. I should be able to see all the, all the participants and do it that way. Guys, hold on. Can I do that? Okay. I don't know how to do that. All right, forget that. I think I'm have to to figure out how to do that. That's a good idea, though. Okay, just copy all the names. Okay? But I couldn't figure out how to copy it. All right. So, anyways, I'm about to put all these names into a random thingy. Okay? Okay. I'm putting them all into a random thingy. Thank you, guys, for doing that. Okay? And I'mma let them, I'mma let it select four because it's a lot of people in here, so maybe two is just not enough. Okay? It's picking right now. I'mma show y'all. Um, let me share this screen, actually. All right, y'all should be able to see the screen. It just picked four people. All right. So, we have Tim, Tim, Timmer, Tim. Okay, well, I don't know if I'm saying right, so please help me. Michelle, Daniel, and Samuel Wright. Okay, guys, so basically, here, let me do this. If you guys win or won, then I'm put this email here. Okay? Okay. And just email me and be like, "I won," and then I'm G get you into the Discord. If you already have a Discord, that'll make it easier. Um, can I reshuffle it? I can reshuffle it. You want me to pick one more? Hold on. I need to screenshot this, then. Okay, I'll pick one more. Okay? Okay. Let me, let me, what? All right, let me screenshot this real quick, though, so that I don't lose these people. Actually, I was going to say, let me take a picture, but no, let me just screenshot it. Okay, I did that. I'll take a picture of this one. All right. Okay, we're going to do one more. Okay? Let's pick. Wait. Okay, I'll add these in. P Troy S. All right, hold on. All right, here we go. It's picking, guys. Oh, it, it said, "Remove the one to one." Okay, well, guys, guess what? If it picks someone who won, then, guys, this is difficult. Anthony. This is difficult. Anthony. Is hopefully there's not more than one Anthony in here. No, there's not. Okay, this is fun. Is that the same name as Tony? Um, if you want it to be. Okay, guys, if your name is an, or any of the other ones before I have a picture of it. How many people are in here? It's only 142 now. A lot of people left. Um, but if your name is, um, Anthony, or any of the other names, they're not trying to see it. Email support@ibtrading.com. That's okay. Because I might believe you and I might just get lied to. Okay?
Now, we're pretty much done now. So, like, if anyone has any questions, well, there's some questions in here. I'mma just, you can get off if you want. I'mma answer these questions on here. If anyone else has any more questions, you can ask them real quick. Um, but let's see. It's 8:04. Maybe for like 15 minutes, I'll do this real quick. Um, but I know some people got to go. So, if you do have to go, thank you so much for getting on. You guys are, um, amazing. You guys are amazing and wonderful, um, and awesome, and I hope you guys have a great day. Um, if you are getting off, one time for the lashes. That's so funny because these lashes are too big for me. I hate, I hate when they're this thick, but they're gonna fall off eventually. But thank you. Okay. Um, okay, y'all just keep sending stuff and I don't, I don't know where to start. All right. You know what? Yes, the recording is going to be, um, it's going to be sent out. Do I ever use VWAP? No, not really. Appreciate you. Thank you. Thank you, guys. You guys are awesome. I'm going to answer these questions over here in the Q&A first, okay? And then I'mma answer the questions in the actual chat. Okay? Again, if you want, email support@ibtrading.com and have a, have a Discord, if you don't already have it, like, have set up an account so we can make it easy. Okay?
Um, with Bookmap Global or Global Plus, do you still need to buy data fee? Yeah, you do. You actually do have to still buy data. Um, but Bookmap provides data like that you can add on, or you can just get it through, like, whatever broker. But yeah, you do have to get data. Uh, what's the bottom indicator for volume? It's called Buy Sell Volume. You should be able to see it there. Buy Sell Volume bars. Okay. All right, got that. What's the difference between Bookmap and your futures paid course? Okay, so in the boot camp and in the course, the foundation is the same. It's literally the same. Um, but in the boot camp, I will be a little bit more detailed. The examples will be relevant because a lot of people who are new really don't know, but the market really does change. Um, and so when those courses are recorded, the market is moving a lot differently than it was before. Okay? So, in the boot camp, I like to do up-to-date examples. Usually, my examples will be from that week or within those days that the boot camp is happening, um, as long as there are good examples. But yeah, there's that. And then in the boot camp, you know, you do get the Q&As after. So, for the five days, if you do have any questions about anything, we're going to get on to, well, we'll be on a call together. You'll be able to ask questions. Um, if you want to speak out loud, you can do that, or just type in the chat, that kind of stuff. But overall, it's the same foundational information to answer that question. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.
Does the Discord also have a course? The Discord comes with all my courses. So, if you join the Discord, then you get access to all my courses. Okay? Yeah, comes with it. It comes with my Mastery Future Strategy course, where I break down my strategy. It comes with the Seven Step course, where I basically give you like, um, a strategy or like a risk management plan to make $1,000 a day. Um, it includes the 15-second course. The free course, obviously, is free. But yeah, Discord includes all the courses. Oh, yeah, I'll put the QR code. Um, wait for the Discord. Yes, or the boot camp. This is the Discord QR code. Okay? So, if you're talking about the Discord, this is the QR code. Like I said, if you use the code 20 off, then, um, you can get 20% off for the first three months. Okay? Um, how do you map the chart from TradingView to Ninja Trader? Because TradingView charts are more user-friendly. Um, I don't really chart in Ninja Trader. Like you said, TradingView is a lot more, Ninja, or a lot more user-friendly. So, I do only use TradingView to actually mark out my charts. I literally only use Ninja Trader to place the trade. That's it. Okay?
Okay, oh, what's the email to to? Okay, support@ibtrading.com. Let me send it again. Y'all are sending a lot of questions. Support@ibtrading.com. Okay? Um, let's see here. I'm completely new to this whole trading world. I'm familiar with certain terms and concepts, but I have, oh, behalf knowledge is as good as no knowledge. What do you offer in terms of courses or boot camps that can help me get from zero to where you are? Okay, so, like I said, in my Discord, okay, number one, in the boot camp, we walk through my entire strategy, even for beginners. The first day is dedicated to beginners. However, the boot camp is more intense. It's more fast-paced. It's five days. It's a lot of information. Okay? Now, it's great. You can ask questions, all that extra stuff. But if that's not for you, then you join the Discord. If you, if you buy the courses, you can buy them individually. You're welcome. But if you join the Discord, then you get access to all the courses. Okay? And my courses start from the beginner course, walks you through everything that you need, foundational, what do you need to get started, TradingView, you know, you know, different brokers you can use, all that kind of stuff, basic stuff. Okay? And then it walks through my strategy as well. Okay? All courses you get access to. Okay? So, that'll help you. You should have the winners send their emails. You are right. I just don't be thinking. Now, if you are a winner, you could do that. You could send an email in the chat to just me, the host and panelist only. I don't know. I don't be thinking of this stuff, but thank you. Yeah, if you did win, it was five people. If you did win, and I have them. Okay? So, if you did win, you can send your email in the chat right now so that I can know where you're emailing from, which email you're emailing from, so that I don't get tricked. Okay? Thank you.
Um, do I use predetermined stops, TPs, targets? Yes. Do you mean predetermined? Like, I get into a trade and I already know what they are? Like, I already know where I want to get stopped at, where I want to get stopped at? Let me take a picture of this. Thank you, Daniel. Anyone else who wants, oh, thank you. Now, hold on. Now, I think you're, I think this person is trying to trick me because I don't know if I believe you. Okay, hold on. We GNA get to that in a second. I took a picture of it, though, just in case. But all right. Do you use price channel as well? What do you mean? You mean like a channel pattern? If you're saying price channel as something else, like an indicator or something, then no. If you want to further explain, let me know. Seven Step Trading Roadmap specifically. Um, the Seven Step Trading Roadmap specifically, it includes the Mastery Future Strategy course. Okay? And then it also includes a risk management plan to make $1,000 a day. Okay? Once you learn everything else. Okay? But that one also teaches my strategy exactly. It just includes a little extra thingy, um, with that Seven-Step Roadmap course. If you want to get it for 50% off, I think you can use the code like FAQ 1000, like for anyone who does, or you just get the Discord. Get in the Discord and like, you get access to it. But if you use that code FAQ 1000, you can get that Seven Step course for 50% off. I think, I think that's the right code. Okay?
Um, do I trade manually or do I have a program? Manually, every single day of my life. Manually. Um, do you, do you have to pay for TradingView Premium to get 15-second? Yes, you do. You have to pay for TradingView Premium. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, when will the recording be sent out? As soon as it's finished uploading, I'll email it out to everybody. Now, hold, hold on. I don't know if I have everybody's email. Actually, y'all signed up to this, so I'm going to be able to get it to y'all. I'mma send it out as soon as it's done. Okay? Um, you're welcome. Uh, with following your strategy, how long before one can be profitable? Will it really take over a year? Here's the thing. Trading, um, it don't have to take a year. It doesn't have to take a year. It really doesn't. The issue is, you can learn everything in the strategy and you could be super knowledgeable, but if you can't get past the psychology, if you can't control your emotions, if you can't manage risk, that's where you're going to get stuck at. Okay? So, the, the, the strategy part is not the issue. Okay? It's more so the psychology and learning to control yourself and learning to manage risk. Okay? I had a girl, um, that I did a one-on-one mentorship with, and this was this year. This was back in April. What is it? April. She sent it to me like August, though. April, May, June, July, August. In about four months, she passed her prop firm. She, she was doing really well. I'm not sure if she got her payout yet, but, you know, I'm sure she has. She, she's doing great. So, the point is, uh, if you, if you really focus on what you're doing and you focus on learning the strategy, yes, but also controlling yourself and learning how to manage risk, because that's the most important part of trading, then it's not going to take that long. Okay? Sorry, I just rambled.
Um, do I trade right at market open, or do you scout? Oh, yeah, I usually trade like right around market open. It's not like, oh, 9:30, buy. It's not like that, but like 9:30, 9:40, I see something, I'm in. Okay? Now, I'm not sitting on my charts all day. I hate being on the charts all day. I know some people love sitting on the charts, but I just can't do it. It doesn't help my life at all. Um, so, yeah, when I'm off, I'm usually off, unless I come back randomly and I see a nice setup, I'll get in, but it's never planned. Price channel? Oh, no, no, no. I don't use indicators, guys. I don't like indicators. They're not for me. Only thing that I'll have on my chart is these volume indicators that you saw at the bottom, like regular volume. Do I mark up my charts before market open? Yeah, it's always before market open. So, like, in the Discord, we do that together. It's, um, during pre-market, starts at 8:40 AM EST every morning. We're marking out our levels, um, just figuring out which way the market's going to go. You know, recently, the market has been opening, you know, where it's just not as clear sometimes, but, you know, that's what we do at open. So, yeah, before. Do I swing trade? No, um, not right now, but like, I've been trying to get into it, but like, I just need to get the time to to think about it. How do you manage your emotions? What do you do to not revenge trade, overtrade, or go into tilt? Um, well, it's just like, I failed so many times and like blew so many accounts and like lost so much money that eventually you have to make the decision, okay, am I going to sit here and keep doing the same thing and being sad, or am I going to see I'm making this mistake and then figure out something to fix it? So, like, in the Discord, we're doing a 21-day challenge right now where where it's like, we all list out, or whoever wants to participate, you list out what you're struggling with, why you struggle with that, meaning what's the psychology behind why I'm struggling with that, and then what can I do every single day? What can I implement to overcome that that issue? So, like, overtrading, right? I can be intentional about every time I get, um, out of my first one or two trades, I close the charts, I shut down my computer, and I leave. I walk away. I'm not going to sit there and be on the charts. Obviously, it's not going to happen overnight. It's something that you have to be intentional about, like I said, um, and actually build that habit. But it's just about being intentional and understanding that you keep making the same mistake over and over and over and over and over. Okay, let me take a picture of this. I don't know what's going on, but I just need to have it all. Right, just in case. Uh, that's fire because I still overtrure. Yeah, you just got to be intentional and realize, like, I'm not trying to keep making these same mistakes over and over. Okay?
Um, let's see, let's see, let's see, let's see. Um, you're welcome to some for the person who said that. I thought it was seven. I'm a, you missed the whole thing. I'mma send it. I'mma send it to y'all. I'm so sorry. Yeah, 7 EST. Um, you know what? I'll also post it on YouTube at this point. Uh, do you ever use VWAP? Oh, I already answered that. No. Um, how did I get the color to overlap in the volume bar in TradingView? Okay, let me show you. Let me show you. Do I use prop firms? And do I copy trade? Yes. Apex. I use replicant to copy trade four accounts right now. Um, eventually, I'm going to do the 20, though. That's why I like Apex. What is this? Okay, I don't know what that was. Um, I think it was paper trading. Something. I don't know how I got into that. Anyways, um, what was I trying to show? Oh, all right. Over here in this volume indicator, you're just going to go over here where it says Vol 20 settings. Just turn on the volume MA. That's all. It's probably going to be off. Turn on volume MA. Um, all right. Do you only use TradingView for the easy-to-read charts? And I assume you mark up on TradingView first and trade off Ninja Trader? Exactly. Yes. I trade on Ninja Trader and I do all of my charting on TradingView because it's very nice and easy. Um, can you show how to get the real-time data in TradingView for paper trading? Uh, okay, yeah, I do have a video on that, but I guess if someone asked me that, or if I asked somebody that, and they said, "Go watch a video," maybe I'd be a little upset. Um, so, just very quickly, okay, guys, please, it's going to take 5 seconds, um, to get the real-time data. You're just going to want to go to the homepage. I don't know why it's in Polish. Doesn't really make sense. Um, but anyways, and then products, um, you're gonna have to, what is it? You're gonna have, see Polish again. You're gonna have to get, um, a plan first. So, either Essential Plus or Premium. But once you get that, then you can go into Market Data under Products, Market Data. Okay? And Polish again. Okay? Um, but for futures, subscribe to real-time markets, and then you're going to want to get CME Group E-mini included. Okay? All right. Now, again, this is recorded. I know I just did that fast, but I'm trying not to take up too much time here.
Uh, how do you buy Bookmap? Just go to Bookmap.com. Oops. Um, and where's pricing? Oh, pricing. You just create an account and get Global or Global Plus. That's all. That's all there is to it. Now, I do have a Bookmap video in my Discord, but I don't want you're that, I don't think so. What's the name of the buy/sell indicator? It's called Buy Sell Volume. Uh, where's TradingView? Where's TradingView? Where's TradingView? It's called Buy Sell Volume. I'm about to show it to you. Sorry, I'm answering these questions so fast. It's just because there's a lot of questions and I know people are like waiting. Um, Buy Sell Volume, right here. R A U K I is the person. Buy Sell Volume, buyers. Now, if you're just talking about the regular volume, that's just volume, right? It's just literally regular volume. Okay? But Buy Sell Volume is this one here on the bottom. Sorry, this one here. Uh, what's the discount code for the boot camp or for the Discord? For the boot camp, if you're talking about the boot camp, it's 5 day. I hope I opened up enough spots. I think it was like getting really low. I think it's okay. It's okay. It's going to be fun. All right. Um, anyways, yeah, for the boot camp is 5 day, and then for the Discord, it's 20 off for three months. For three months, 20% off. Um, can I put the QR code up again? Are you talking about the boot camp code? If you are, then that's what this is. If you're talking about the, oh, I am not even showing the PowerPoint. Sorry. All right, like I was saying, if you're talking about the Discord, the code is 20 off, and this is the code. Okay? You want to take a picture or scan it? Okay? And then if you were talking about the boot camp, that's five day for 15% off. The boot camp, you can use this QR code here. All right.
I joined your Discord last month. It's been very helpful and seeing improvement. My difficulty now is knowing the number of contracts to trade. Oh, yes, please. Can you help? Get really confusing with that. All right, Benny, that takes like a deep explanation or a long, like actual explanation. But in the Discord, you have access to the courses. Go into, um, the educational section, course links, and go to Mastery Future Strategy course, and then go to, um, the trade part of the formula, and it's going to talk about risk management and position size. Okay? And that's going to break down everything. Okay? And if you can't, can't find it, send me a message in the Discord, and I'll send you the the link. Okay? I don't trade Forex. I trade futures, and I trade NASDAQ. Okay? NASDAQ. To the person who just asked that question. Thank you. You're welcome. Do I do one-on-one? Oh, everyone keeps asking me that. Not right now. Um, but I really, I'm, okay, 2025, I'm working on it. Okay? I don't do them anymore. I stopped, but I'm working on it. But people keep asking. When I get to it, I'm G let y'all know. Okay? Cuz a lot of people asking. Uh, what platform do you recommend to start with with a little money? I mean, you could start with Ninja Trader, Trader Futures, or M Futures. It's just, you know, whatever platform you want. But if you're starting with a little money, just make sure you're not risking too much. Okay?
Oh, what inspired me to trade? Um, well, I used to work at Taco Bell. I'm not about to get my life, but, okay. I used to work at Taco Bell, and then there was these people that was talking about stocks a lot, and it was just very interesting. And so I just started getting into it. And then I saw this guy, I don't know if y'all know if y'all have seen like Bryson or Boney Enterprises. I saw that a while ago, and I was like, "Oh, that's cool. He's so young and he's trading. I can do it too." So, I started. And then also, if y'all know, uh, okay, I'm just giving out to me names, but yeah, pretty much that's why. Initially, it was seeing him. I don't even know if he's like active on Instagram and stuff, what he's doing, I don't know. But I saw that and I was like, "Oh, I can do this. This is cool."
What motivates you? Are they the same or some of the same people from when you started your journey? Um, if y'all don't, well, I'm sure if you're on here, you probably will know. But, um, if y'all know like Danny's Trades or from Traders Evolved, that guy, when he first started, like three years ago, when he started his Discord, cuz he used to be under somebody else. Okay, I'm talking too much, but whatever. I saw that he started trading futures when he started getting into it, and that's what really motivated me and just seeing like how much money you can make with futures. Um, but yeah, so same people from a while back. Yeah, same people. Is there a link to buy Bookmap? I mean, I can send you. Are you talking about a coupon code or like just a link to buy Bookmap? Because I can send a link in the chat now. I can send that link, but I don't know if you're talking about a code.
Biggest withdrawal? $28,000. $28,000 with Apex. Wait, where's the video? I can find it. Okay, okay. Yes, I do this full-time. I stopped working a long time ago. Well, it's a long time for me, like a year and a half, two years ago, two and a half years ago. Okay, something like that. Do you feel like, do you, do you really feel that trading changed your life financially? Are you now? Yeah. Yes. Yes, trading changed my life financially. Yes. I mean, I was never struggling, but like, yeah, if you, if you can get to the point where you're profitable in trading, and the way that I like to trade, I like to go.
All out. Okay, so like, if I, for example, I trade with Apex, I'm not gonna buy a $25,000 account. If I'm trading under accounts, I'm gonna trade the 300K accounts, which I do. Right? So when you get to that point where you're actually profitable, you can get those payouts, and then all this extra stuff, yeah, you're going to be financially free pretty quickly once you actually get to that point. It's just the process is long, but once you get past that process, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, financially free. I'm actually moving like in a few days. So in my videos, my background will be different in a little bit, um, but we'll see. Thank you. Very, not a, you're welcome. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, what's your biggest struggle? How long? Uh, little, right at three years. Right at years. Yes, but it took me about a year and a half, a year to become actually consistent and profitable. Thank you. Thank you very much. Very motivational. Um, my biggest struggle though, um, is like everyone struggles with is psychology and blowing accounts and revenge trading and not being able to control yourself and risking too much. Um, and what I did, I did a lot of things. Um, the one thing that I did, did, that I talk about in my courses, it's actually in this little journal. See if I can find it. Um, but I basically, one thing that helped me stop overtrading and to really like, just focus on what the market was actually doing was every time I took a trade, like every single trade, I would do a recap of the trade, like a written recap of the trade to get my mind a little cool down. Um, here it is. I talk about this in my course, but wait, am I talk, am I show? Okay, it's this right here. I don't know if y'all can see it. Okay, but basically I would write the date, the trade I just took, how many contracts I was in, whether, you know, how many ticks I made or lost, and then the P&L. And so this basically just helped me like cool down, look at what the market's actually doing, take a break, and it really helped me stop overtrading because that was a big problem that I had. Yeah, and then like risking too much, I struggle with that too, but you know, eventually you just got to size down. That's pretty, pretty simple, easy fix. But yeah. Oh, also, like this book helped with my psychology. Okay, I don't know where it's at, but it's called Best Loser Wins. Okay.
Do you have any opinion on Top Step? No, I mean, it's great, I guess. I don't use Top Step, but a lot of people use Top Step and, you know, they, um, they're doing pretty well. Yeah. Do you still trade Apex or your own capital? Yeah, I use Apex. I still use Apex. When I get, when I pull everything out, I'll start trading, um, on my own. But I want to trade like, I want to trade, sorry, I think I just turned my mic off on accident, um, but I want to be able to trade like really big size because I trade under four accounts with Apex under the 300K accounts. So I don't want to be trading under that. And then I trade under a live account and I can't trade as big size if that makes sense, right? So I want to wait until I can trade like really big size. Okay, I obviously could do it now, like start a, um, do a live account now, but I prefer to wait until I can trade big, big, big, big, big size.
How do you handle losing weeks or months? Last week was technically a losing week. I only took two trades, but technically it was a losing week. Um, I didn't trade Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. I had a winning day Monday, and then Tuesday I lost, and that was the first time I had lost in like 11 days, and I was just so sad. Um, how do I handle it? I mean, I just got to remember like taking a loss does not define you. And just looking back, like especially when I'm looking back on my trading calendar, right, in TradeZella or something, and I see green, green, green, green, green, green, green. I know everyone doesn't have that right now, but you'll get to it. But like when I see green, green, green, green, green, green, green, and I see one red day, it, it brings everything into perspective. It's like, okay, I just lost one time, but it doesn't mean I'm a loser. It doesn't mean I suck. Okay, so you just got to get over it. But I still be sad though, okay? I still be like, man, this sucks. But yeah.
Um, how did you start to understand the charts and all the trading lingo? It's just screen time and looking at it over and over and over and watching people who know what they're doing. Yeah, I said 4 300K accounts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm gonna get to all 20 in a second though, so y'all just wait because eventually when I start posting my recaps, it's gonna be for 20 accounts. So y'all just be prepared when y'all see the number jump, just know that's what it's gonna be from. Okay. How did you start to understand the charts though? Yeah, like I said, just screen time. Um, like I said, also watching people, um, being on live with people, learning how they trade. I used to be, I used to watch people trade live, but I would never copy their trades, but just still, even just watching them and like understanding how they analyze things is helpful. Um, but with trading, it's gonna take time. Like you can understand the basics, but screen time is what's gonna do it for you because the market's always changing, it's always different, and you're gonna have to learn the market in different seasons to actually say like, I'm consistently profitable because you can have a strategy that works sometimes, right? But say the market switches up, how can you adjust to that? Okay, can you actually manage risk? Can this, this, and that that? Okay. All right. Um, okay, I'm gonna answer that in a second. Uh, I got a 100K account. It was down, $1,500 before joining your Discord. A, I'm so happy for you. I'm so happy when people say stuff like that because sometimes on live, I be tripping, like I be like not taking trades or I'll like lag for some reason, and I'm like, man, but and then I'll get off live and then everything's just back. I got to work on that. There's always stuff you're gonna have to work on. So just take that. I'm still not perfect. Like, remember that there's always going to be stuff that you're gonna have to work on. But I'm glad that you said that though. I'm glad that you're still, um, able to learn and, and, you know, even when I don't take a trade and I'm just walking through everything. Okay.
You are definitely disciplined enough to trade big size. Yeah, the thing with trading is the only difference between someone making $10,000 a day and $1,000 a day is just the size. So once you have that discipline, once you have your strategy, once you're consistent, you can start sizing up and then everything goes from this to this in five seconds. Okay. Love the zoom. Does your strategy also work on the one and five minute time frame or is the 15-second necessary? The 15-second is not necessary. Like if you're trading a less volatile time, I just use a 15-second for entries, okay? But you don't have to. Okay, it works on all the time frames or even if you're trading something other than NQ, it works. Okay.
Um, on a comical note, always wanted to know what you do for fun to release all the energy exchange and trading because I'll be wild stimulated and feel like a crackhead sometimes. I go to the gym right after. So right after I trade, I go to the gym. Yeah, I don't really do anything else though. I don't really like go out and do stuff like go to parties. I guess I'm young, so I don't know if that's like some people might be older, so like what are she talking about, but like, no, I just go to the gym.
Did you seek mentorship or did you learn the hard way? I never did a mentorship. Actually, I don't like, okay, I don't want to say that, but like, um, I don't know how to say it. I'm just not good, good at talking to people like one-on-one and like being very social. So like I never did a one-on-one mentorship. I was like, I just can't do it. So yeah, I technically did learn the hard way, but I mean, it was fine. It was fine.
How does your strategy change to stay consistently profitable year-round? So I was talking about this in the Discord yesterday because like, I said, the last week, well, yeah, last week, the market at open when I trade was really choppy. But it's really just knowing when not to trade. Obviously, as the market changes, you might have to change. So like a few months ago, my trailing stop strategy was a little different, right? The market is a lot more volatile now, so it's just stuff like that. Like, as the market does start to change, your foundational strategy should work. Okay, so if you actually have a good strategy that works in the market, you shouldn't have to change everything. It might just be a few things that you need to change. Like I was talking about in the Discord the other day on live, um, we were talking about like, I said, the the markets last week, and this is the kind of market where I don't do well, but I see people who, not that I don't do well, but it's easier for other people that trade lower size, they have bigger stops, and they hold their trades for a lot longer. Okay, me personally, my stops are really tight. I'm trading big size. Um, I'm trading when it's very volatile, the market's moving, I'm scalping, okay? But when the market's really choppy, it's low volume, it's hard to trade like that. So it's just being able to recognize that and be able, and be able to make those adjustments. Adjustments. Okay.
Do you need to upgrade your trading, your account to use 15-second? Yeah, you're gonna have to get premium. Yeah, you're gonna have to get the one that says it has 15-second. Yeah. Does Apex allow me to purchase a 300K account to trade or is it steps? No, you can purchase 300K like immediately, but you're just gonna have to get to the $220,000 profit goal, and then, um, you're good. Apex actually, they just released something. I don't know why I didn't get the email, but somebody said, but they just said that no more 10 days to trade, you can trade only eight days. No more payout periods, you can request anytime throughout the month. Um, so that's really good for Apex. Just for those who do care. Um, if you don't have an Apex account, you know what, let me just take this opportunity here to give you guys the code. They are doing 80% off. Um, what is it? Six more days, five more days, 80% off for five more days. Okay, so if you guys want, then you can use this here to get that 80% off. Hold on, I'm struggling. Okay, it looks like the questions have died down. If no one has any more questions, then that means we're pretty much done. Oh, hold on, let me, I'm gonna answer that in just a second. Um, I don't know why I'm like, oh, there we go. What's going on? All right, here's the link to that, and then here's the code. If you do want to use Apex and get that, that 80% off, you can use that. It expires in five days. Um, but anyways, does Apex allow me to? Oh, I already answered that. Did they add an amount to count a day? Wait, what did they add amount to count to count a day? I don't know exactly what that means. Are you saying like, do they make you have to make more? Do I trade live? Yeah, we trade, um, on the Discord every morning. We get on live every morning and we do pre-market every morning.
How much is a 300K PA account fee? Once you pass the evaluation phase, right now, that's what I'm saying, they're doing like these good deals right now. It's only $85 lifetime. Now, sometimes lifetime, it'll be like 316. I don't know. Um, and then 85 monthly. But now they're doing 85 lifetime for the PA for this five days. If you pass, could you be my mentor? When I start doing one-on-one mentorships again, I'll tell you guys because so many people keep asking. I'm really working on it though. Promise you. You just got to get to it. Um, like Top Step has a 250 minimum to count as a day. Oh, no, no, no. Apex isn't like that. No, it's no minimum. It's just to count it as a trading day. You just have to place a trade. Like I used to, well, I still do it, but when there's like a day when it's really low volume, but I still need a trading day, I'll just trade micros and I'll just be get in and out. I'll buy and then sell just to mark it as a trading day.
Can I trade Forex with your strategy? Yeah, you can trade Forex. You can trade Forex and you don't have to trade NASDAQ either. Personal account, I trade under a prop firm right now, but when I do open up my, um, my live account, my, well, my personal account because I trade live under a prop firm, but when I open up my, uh, personal account, I'll use NinjaTrader or Tradeovate.
Do I still work a job outside of trading or am I free? No, yeah, I don't work a job. I don't like jobs. I don't like when people tell me what to do that much. So yeah, well, I listen to some people. Okay, that was so random. All right, forget that. Thanks. It's past 12. Oh, it is. Oh, you're in Ghana. That's so cool. That is so cool. Thank you for getting on and please get some rest. God bless you too. Thank you for spending more than an hour. Oh, you're welcome. Yeah, you guys are great.
Can you get out of contracts and trade of eight as well? Yes, you can get out of contracts and trade of eight as well. I don't use Trader though, but I assume it's like the same thing. You're welcome.
What will be covered in the five days in the boot camp? Okay, uh, let me answer that in like five seconds. Five, four, three, two, one. All right, in the five days, sorry, I just needed to like get to it so I can actually tell you the right thing. All right, so first day is like mainly for beginners. We're gonna be talking about, you know, what do I actually need to trade futures? Okay, you know, the basics. Um, what is a futures contract? What are the contract specifications? Okay, just different kind of stuff that you need to know. Then we're gonna talk about more about that identified part of the formula. We're gonna really go into depth and each of those different things. We're gonna break them down and go through examples, marking those things out. Okay. Then we're gonna go through that second part of the formula. Okay, go through some examples, some more in-depth things, talk about it in, in more in depth, like I said, okay. And then fourth day, uh, what is this? Oh, it's that trade part. Um, so yeah, just really figuring out where I, where can I send my stop loss, take profit, entries, really calculating position sizes, everything like and everything like that. And then managing risk effectively while you're trading. Okay. And then the last day is gonna be, um, psychology and just important stuff like that. And then the giveaways and all that.
Um, I sent a message on Instagram. Please reply. I don't know what your Instagram is. A lot of, I just, there's a lot of people, so send it again and be like, I was on the thing and this is me because there's, I don't, I don't answer Instagram a lot, not a lot because it's just so much and I just can't handle it. Um, oh, you're welcome. Uh, I think I missed something. Old 25 kids motivation that pay are possible. Person? Yeah, it is possible. Yeah, just get a bunch of payouts and then you start a personal account, a really big personal account, and then you can still be trading big size.
Would I ever consider trading futures on Sundays? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. First of all, the thing about trading is it can take over your life very easily. Okay, this is why number one, I'm not going to sit on the charts all day. So I'm off at 10 o'clock, 10:30 because I got other stuff to do. Y'all got other stuff to do. We can't let trading consume us. Um, so we're not gonna do that. And then once it's the weekends, you need a break. You can't, your mind just needs to be focused on other stuff. Okay, you don't want trading to consume you because then you're gonna be affected by emotionally. Don't let it take up so much of your life. So no, I wouldn't trade in the group on Sundays. I don't even trade on Sundays. It was literally one time in my entire life that I've traded on a Sunday. Okay.
Can these things be applied to other instruments? Actually, what is your Instagram? Just send it in the, to me personally, like on here. Well, you are sending to me personally. Tell me, tell me what it is so I can see it so I can actually like go look for it. Um, but yeah, you can use these, um, with other instruments as well. Yeah, yes. I don't know what ZB is, but yeah, you can use it on ES. I assume you can use it on CB. What is ZB? Okay, see guys, I just trade NASDAQ. I'm just so focused on NASDAQ. Um, I have strategies for NQ and YM. Okay, so you use different strategies for different things. You can use this strategy with ES though. Oh, bonds. I don't trade that, but yeah, you can use the strategy. I'll be trading everything. Let me take a picture of this so I can remember. I got you. I'm gonna look. All right.
Um, I think I answered that. Broker for futures? NinjaTrader, Tradeovate, or AMP Futures or Futures. Will you go over the entire setup in the five-day boot camp? Are you talking about my entire, like trading strategy setup? Yeah, like step-by-step with lot, with examples and stuff. Bonds are slow-moving assets and pays most. Yes, the, it's just like if I traded other stuff, I would have to like spend more time on the charts and I just don't feel like it.
How much money do you need for a futures trading account? Um, I think to trade minis, you need like $100 or $500. It depends on the broker. And then NASDAQ, like, oh no, I said minis, micros. You need $100 or $500 depending on the broker. And then NASDAQ, um, I'm tripping. Minis, you need like a thousand, I think again, depending on the brok.
Um, what's your favorite moving average to use? I don't use moving averages. I don't use indicators, guys. Indicators have hurt me enough in the past. I don't use them anymore. My charts are just naked and clean. Whatever I put with my little lines and whatnot. Okay, well, this chart doesn't look so clean because I have too many lines on it, but essentially my charts just basically look like this most of the time. Okay, just got regular levels. I don't use the, oh, well, if you guys look on Instagram and you see like the MAs on my, uh, what is this, Instagram thingy or on my charts, that's my 15-second chart and I don't actually use those. So if you just want to know what they are, I think it's like 21 and 14, but I don't use them. They have no influence on my trading.
Telegram group would be interesting to share information with the most concerned. Thank you for everything. Great lady. You're welcome. Um, you're welcome. Okay, Telegram though, maybe Discord. I don't want to get on Telegram because all the scammers be like, join her Telegram at IB I trading. So I don't even want to be over there.
How quick can a beginner make $5K per month trading? Everyone's different. Everyone's different. You get lucky, you can do it in three months. Hey, but if you're going to actually learn, like to actually learn and actually know what you're doing, at least six months. Like, because like I said before, the market's always changing and screen time is what's really gonna get you, you know, a lot further.
Um, you're welcome, Ashley. Are we able to trade Asian session with the Apex funded account? Yeah, yeah, you can. I think you just can't trade like through like the close or like that one hour where the futures market is closed, but yeah, you can trade whenever. Okay, I answered that.
How much did you first start trading with? How much did you, how much do you think you invested before becoming profitable? Oh, before becoming profitable. All right, so real money, like live money, my money, I blew like $20,000. Okay, or okay, well, not on my live accounts, on like actual live accounts, probably only about $5,000. Then I got sick of blowing all my, um, money with live accounts and I decided, well, I'm gonna just do prop firm because I found out about prop firms. So with prop firms, then that's when I blew about $20,000. Honestly, I've blown a lot of accounts, okay, because I just didn't want to learn from my mistakes. I just wanted to keep blowing accounts for some reason. Um, so that's not necessary though. Everyone doesn't have to go through that. That's what I want to teach now because there's things I didn't know that if I would have known or if I would have been taught correctly, then I wouldn't have to have gone through if I wouldn't have to have gone through all that. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are we able to trade AG? Just I answered that for NQ futures and N Trader one, two contracts. How much money required? If you're trading minis, it's gonna be about a thousand, around a thousand, depending on the broker. If you're trading micros, it's gonna be like 100 or 500, again, depending on the broker. Okay. And answer that too. And screen time, I just mean like literally looking at the charts and learning the charts and learning how the market moves. That's another reason why I only trade NASDAQ because I just know how NASDAQ moves like 95% of the time. If I'm sitting here focused on a million different things, it's gonna be hard for me to really learn one thing. Okay, so I just really focus on NASDAQ and screen time again, just meaning watching the chart, being on the charts, learning how the market moves, um, and just learning, yeah, observing, practicing.
20K and I'm crying over my 5K loss. Yeah, I did lose a lot of money with prop firms, but not because the prop firms or not because of anything, just because me, I was doing silly stuff. You're welcome. Already purchased your. Oh, okay, well, I'm excited to see you there. We got like two weeks until the boot camp.
Do you use moving average on the chart? No, I don't use the moving averages. I don't use indicators, guys. I hate indicators. Sorry, that was a little bit dramatic, but I don't use indicators, okay? As you can see, my chart doesn't have indicators. This is a, this is how my chart looks, okay? It just has what I put on it. All right. Okay, it looks like I got through all the questions. Um, and it's 8:46. Okay, that's good. Okay, so if no one else has any more questions, comments, or concerns, then, oh, wait, hold on. Oh, yes, the boot camp is $99, but if you use this discount code, where is it? If you use the discount code 5day, you can scan the QR code or just go to this website and like find it. But if you use the code 5day, then you can get it for 15% off. So yeah. Okay, if you guys want to do this, like look at it real quick because someone just asked about it. And then the other one is this one, the Discord 20% off for three months. If you use the code 20 off off. Okay, QR code here. 20 off is a code. All right, now, um, if you guys have no more questions, comments, or concerns, then I'm about to get ready to send this out.
Are all the courses in the Discord for free? Yep, once you join the Discord, you get all the courses for free. Yeah, it's a better deal than paying for them individually, but everyone's different. Everyone wants to do different things, but yeah, you get them all for free once you join the Discord. But if no one else has any more questions, let's see, then I thank you guys for being on here.
