day 0: trading in public until i make $10K mPnL

hi everyone, sorry I’ve been away for so long.
I had pretty much decided to go private and to focus on other things, but now im back.

during the last months i was passionate about startups and i decided to "build in public" with another account, while trading behind closed doors.
today im back with a challenge similar to "build in public", related to trading.

i will try to go from $0 to $10K in a month, trading mainly $NQ and $ES.

> the reasons why i chose $10K:
- everyone can achieve it, at least from a paid challenge with skills.
- because I want to prove it.
- because it will be unreal to go from 0 to $100K and i don't want to be a guru.
- because its scalable in case we achieve this first step.

> i will document EVERYTHING: entries, exits, wins, losses, emotions and the process.

"my" goal for this challenge will be to keep myself accountable, to journal, to finish things, use social media in a productive way and to overcome fear of failure.

the challenge will start from tomorrow and it will be in this exact format ("day x: "), but i will keep you updated in between.
to start from $0 i decided to put aside $200 (100 x 2) from my bank account and use them for 2 @MyFundedFutures 50K starter accounts.

> I WILL NOT TRY TO PASS THEM BOTH.

I decided to save them and use them for the first challenge; in case we fail the second one too, the overall challenge will be closed.

Challenge will start tomorrow!

@CurranSotomayor Yes brother, sleep is very key and this happen to me a lot of time if I have sleep deprivation

[Matteo @Matteo__XO]

first, id like to apologise to you because the trade recap was not ready; i recorded 10 minutes of speaking just to understand that the voice was muted.

but, simulated funded account is now ready;
first step to make $10K mPnL is completed:
✅ passing the challenge

i will just watch this morning because we have a lot of important movement from 08:30 ny time.

the goal, as previously said, will be to respect consistency rules, trading days and to not risk more than 0.5% per trade.
2 losses in a day and we're out.
1 win and we're out.

day 8: trading in public until i make $10K mPnL

✅ challenge completed
✅ +$3000

trade video will be uploaded in a bit

i did not trade yesterday because my girlfriend graduated and im back from today.

> we closed day 6 up 1,7% on challenge (around 850$), and for this reason I decided to risk the profits made the past days in order to reach 6% faster.

disclaimer: it's not always like this, i allow myself to do this ONLY during challenges just because i know if i go back to breakeven it will not affect my profits since they are virtual.

trade was based on "regular trading hours" price action + smt at the opening

day 6: trading in public until i make $10K mPnL

current situation is: +0,25% (challenge)

it's finally monday and we're above all time highs before London even started.
I decided to skip it.

the market opened and started trading to the upside without making a single wick to the downside ( i don't really trust it).

also, it's NFP week, end of the month and we have bank holiday on friday because of July 4.
ill be back during ny to see if we can catch a position

[Matteo @Matteo__XO]

@AnAwesomeToast im far from perfection brother🙏

[Matteo @Matteo__XO]

day 6: trading in public until i make $10K mPnL

shorted after the opening

> premium from 09:30 opening
> asia lows resting below short term low
> m1 fvg in premium (entered "after" price broke below it)

current situation: +1,7% (challenge)

day 4: trading in public until i make $10K mPnL

not a trading day so:
- saturdays are for reviewing the week that was
- sundays are for the week to come

not much to say about this week, all time highs were really high probability.

> monday opened gapping down into discount, below equal lows
> during ny, on monday, we traded back into the opening range and we started the delivery to the upside
> wednesday smt at h4 fvg between es and nq was a clean long
> thursday traded back into wednesday's 0.5 level before another upside delivery until the weekly close

talking about my performance, i could have done more.
as i said i don't like to trade these types of daily candles where 6pm is the low of the day and we never look back.
see you tomorrow

day 3: trading in public until i make $10K mPnL

guys i was sick yesterday, i didn't want to trade and i skipped it.

today i was feeling better but nothing crazy,
i was looking to trade from the morning.

managed to grab 1r on the challenge and recover the loss from two days ago and a bit of profit for +$250.
not a lot but we'll be set up for the next week.

challenge: +0,25%

day 1: trading in public until i make $10K mPnL

hard start, first loss

im not a fan of these consolidation > expansion type of moves but we're coming from 2 days in a row with 6pm (opening) as the low of the day.
the market was pushing hard and 22,740 is near.
I had to adapt.

we made a bullish smt quickly at the open and we started displacing to the upside.
i decided to enter my trade from the m1 fvg after 09:30 and i was up almost 2r.

i was asking too much holding for so long, could have predicted it.
in hindsight, short was an easy trade looking at resting lows, but i didn't want to short something 200$ from ath.

[Matteo @Matteo__XO]

quick disclaimer before I start posting trades

if you’ve never seen me trade, this is how I work when im trading with futures prop firms:

1. i only trade at 03:00am or 09:30am NY time.
2. im a reversal trader and i look for ltf reversals that line up with a htf point of interest.
3. I like to see price taking out previous session's highs and lows (unless there's a ny continuation setup) or an SMT.
4. I trust SMTs a lot in this market.
5. I want price to break an ltf high or low against the htf trend; then I trade back in the htf direction
6. I never take more than 2 losses in a single day.
7. I never risk more than 0.5% with funded accounts.
8. I always take my money and get out of the market.

I'd love constructive feedbacks below my posts, but i will never answer to comments like "you should’ve held longer".
no, im here to take my money, im here to respect consistency rule, we need to play it safe because we need to get paid before scaling accounts and we're not with personal.

it a long consistent run.

i will never show 10r trades.
hope that makes sens, see you later.

Its incredible that the president of the USA speaks about "war" and the market doesn't care about it

im not saying that it should go down, its just an opinion

[Matteo @Matteo__XO]

crazy day on nq, down 1% with three losses to start the day.
emotions were fully in control and recovered everything plus ended with profits to close the day.

recovered with:
- longed 10:00am into yesterday's highs after the market broke 09:50 high to the upside
- shorted after we deviated back below 20.050 into m15 fvg in discount.

good!
