I made hard work of the day, but my funded account is up 4R and that’s all that matters.

Back tomorrow!

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

The US morning session was nothing but consolidation so I took a nap, woke up couple hrs later for a long that went straight to TP.

Still got a runner in profit 150+ handles lfffgggggg

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

Just when you think there would be a trending day they throw a search and destroy session at cha lol these markets are currently untradeable.

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

Sending traders to live after a single payout is nasty work. If a company did that to me I’d leave them immediately.

It’s the reason I don’t build buffers in sim, I get to the max payout and request it all. Then repeat.

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

@MogenFax @ApexTradeFund The MAE rule might be one, plus a trailing dd (although EOD dd is now available).

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

Yet another @ApexTradeFund max payout approved - honestly I don’t get why ppl complain so much about these guys lol

Maybe it’s that their rules don’t suit everyone’s trading style, but it certainly suits mine :)

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

You don’t need a high win rate % to be profitable, what you need is excellent risk management. That’s it.

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

One good trade and POOF! Yesterday never happened.

Losses are part of the process. Stay calm, be patient and execute.

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

Exited my short in profit because price doesn’t want to go anywhere for now, I’ll be back for the afternoon session!

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

I had a monster day yesterday, after back to back frustrating red days (caused by poor trade management) I made all the right decisions.

When I start trading with proper size things are gonna get real interesting.

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

Annnnnnnd there it is, another max payout from the good folk at Apex SECURED.

It really only takes one day. And what a day it has been. Ok, I’m logging off now.

If I do anything else today it’ll be evals.

Back next week! 📈🟢🥳

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

I was having a weird week in the markets till now lol

I entered a long and my iPhone suddenly lost battery, I’m outside with no power hahahahaa

I find a cafe and ask to borrow a charger, turn on the phone and I’m up over 200 handles 🤣🙏🏾

GOD IS GOOD!

@elonmusk @RupertLowe10 Well, two things can be true at the same time, Elon.

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

I’m literally in bed on my phone trading Asia because I can lol this is the best job in the world 🥳

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

I'm laughing to myself because I've literally committed various crimes today, not my entries (as they were perfect) but my exits.

When I was meant to close my position I held, when I was meant to hold my position I closed early. Fumbled so much profit you just gotta laugh.

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

Price does some insane manipulation then they release the news right after yeah right smh

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

My trade management today has been at D Grade but I’ll win coz I have a skill set that allows me to.

But I gotta stick to my rules, they’re in place for days like today.

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

Today’s PA tells you something; they do NOT want anyone in this trade holding short.

That usually means they’re about to send price a lot lower.

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

All damn week zero retracements but today price wants to trade all the way back into the range lol this is why you gotta take profits when you see them.

[The International @TheOptionalMan]

The only way to trade these markets is by risking less and demanding more out of the trade. A single MNQ contract can go for 300+ handles easily.

Stay in the game.
