Before trading, I didn't even know where Iran was on the map.
After trading, I can explain the entire Middle East oil supply chain, what OPEC is, why UAE leaving OPEC actually matters, what role the Strait of Hormuz plays in global oil supply, why two countries fighting over nuclear deals affects crude prices. That's not what I wanted..😭
I used to sleep peacefully. Now I check crude prices and Trump mood swings at midnight.
@probernard_02 HTF is bullish. It had a clear CISD, and even respected a 15m bisi. Why would you even be shorting. Follow the htf. Don’t worry about lower tf changes as long htf is bullish, you stay bullish.
talked to a trader managing 11 accounts simultaneously
makes $40k-$70k/month
works less than 2 hours per day
asked him how he does it without going insane
his system is stupidly simple:
THE SETUP:
"11 accounts?"
"yeah. 6 at $200k, 5 at $100k. total $1.7M in funded capital"
"how do you track them all?"
"I don't. I take the same trade on all of them."
"at the same time?"
"same entry, same stop, same target. just different lot sizes per account."
THE LOGIC:
"people think managing multiple accounts is complex"
"it's not. it's simpler than one account."
"because you CAN'T overtrade"
"you CAN'T revenge trade"
"you CAN'T make emotional decisions"
"when you're placing the same trade on 11 platforms, you don't have TIME for bullshit"
"you enter, set the orders, and walk away"
"it's forced discipline"
THE MATH:
"let's say I take 3 trades per week"
"average result: +2R"
"on $1.7M at 0.5% risk that's $12,000+ per trade in profit"
"3 trades × 4 weeks = ~$150k/month gross"
"minus losing weeks, minus variance, minus payouts taking time"
"nets out to $40-70k actually withdrawn per month"
"all from the same 3 setups I'd be taking anyway"
THE SYSTEM:
"how do you choose which trades?"
"I wait for time frame alignment"
"daily direction → 1 hour structure → 15 min entry"
"if the daily isn't clear, I don't trade"
"if the 1 hour doesn't give structure, I don't trade"
"most days I take 0-1 trades"
"some weeks I take 2 total"
THE SECRET:
"the secret isn't the accounts. it's the patience."
"everyone wants to trade MORE"
"I want to trade BETTER"
"the accounts just multiply what I'm already doing"
"if you can't make money on 1 account, you can't make money on 11"
"but if you CAN make money on 1..."
"11 is just copy-paste"
his words not mine:
"stop trying to be a trader. start trying to be a trade MANAGER."
"you're not here to trade. you're here to get PAID."
