I started learning to trade in 2020 like a lot of people. Blindly made some money in the easiest market ever, lost some money in the easiest market ever. Decided to take it serious at the end of 2021 into 2022, got wrecked by a bear market. Account blown….

Futures traders: what time frame do you actually enter on? I’m done fighting 1min & 5min noise, eyeing the 10min. What’s your go-to? $NQ #TradingTwitter

A loss that follows your rules is a win for your process. $NQ got me: -$243. #TradingPsychology

@RamsTapes @AaronDonald97 @JaquanBrisker Two Yinzers lol

[Craig B Jr @ComeOnCraig5]

Proud of my psychology today. Took two losses that eventually went the right direction and still didn’t blame the market or go on tilt. That’s progress. Not going on tilt is weirdly exhilarating 😂 $ES_F #TradingPsychology

[Craig B Jr @ComeOnCraig5]

Took a loss today even though I had the direction right. The realization: my stop wasn’t where the trade was wrong. It was where I didn’t want to feel more pain. $ES_F #TradingPsychology

Stops belong where the chart proves you wrong, not where noise can tag you. $MES #PriceAction

The whole game in one line: keep losers small, let winners like this $1,420 $DELL run bigger. Up ~$2k net since May on my OWN money. I keep 100%. No split, no payout request, no rule that voids it. Green days and red days both. #optionstrading #riskmanagement

[Craig B Jr @ComeOnCraig5]

Hot take: prop firms sell you rules that guarantee you fail, then charge you monthly for the privilege. The baby drawdown on a $50k isn't protecting you — it's designed to blow you. Your own $5k account has fewer traps than their $50K #propfirms #optionstrading

[Craig B Jr @ComeOnCraig5]

Funded accounts are cooked. Like $11 away from being blown. Meanwhile I’m up in $2800 in a week trading options smh. Maybe it’s the rules the baby drawdown on a 50k that’s not working for me. Think I’m don’t with props. Especially with PDT rule change

[Craig B Jr @ComeOnCraig5]

Thank God! Finally got my psychology together. Stopped trying to get funded in the shortest amount of time. Finally sticking to the system I learned 5 years ago. Funded journey starts now $NQ $MNQ @TradingLucid @tradesea

If fake traders can only show their wins why can’t I? I’ll post my progress again once I’m funded

Today, the SEC approved a major FINRA rule change that eliminates the Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rule and replaces it with a new intraday margin system.

https://t.co/vdRoCGPOza

📷 What’s Being Removed
The $25,000 minimum account requirement for day traders

📷 What’s Replacing It
A new intraday margin framework that:
Measures risk in real time (or end-of-day) instead of counting trades
Requires traders to maintain enough equity based on actual exposure
Applies to all margin accounts, not just day traders

📷 How the New System Works
Firms monitor your account for intraday margin deficits (when risk exceeds equity)

📷 Implementation Timeline
Rule is approved now (April 2026)
FINRA will:
Announce an official start date
New rules go live ~45 days after that notice
Firms can phase in over up to 18 months

📷 Key Takeaway
The market is shifting from “how often you trade” to “how much risk you take.”

This is a huge structural change—it opens the door for more traders while still enforcing discipline through real-time risk management.

Terrible read on the market today. Why would I short when we didn’t break structure and up held the bullish structure smh $MNQ $NQ

Tradecopier did me dirty on the second account

[Craig B Jr @ComeOnCraig5]

Better job executing today but still not where I want it to be. I’m doing too much scalping. I need to trade my setup and take the position. 1-2 position trades instead of 3-4 scalps. Always grateful to be green though. $MNQ $NQ
