gmgmgm boys and girls, happy friday
solid amount of vol yesterday off the back of war relief which was a ton of fun to scalp, wasn't planning on trading today but had to take a quick short on btc and a scalp on the SPCX ipo
wishing you all a restful weekend, see you on sunday for another trade review <3
yoyoyoooooo
crazy what getting like 2/3 extra hours of sleep can do for you - been sleeping like 4h per night this week but got 7h last night, I'm feeling good and ready to cook
wanted to get started with scalping some tradfi this week but between being sick and tired I haven't really given that a serious shot yet, v cool to see @variational_io add so many tickers though - def looking forward to getting started there
currently transitioning into being a CS nerd tho so gonna have to take a break from trading for team spirit tonight so I can watch our lord and savior donk do his thing
glhf if you trading today! hope you have a great rest of your day <3

la tête dans l'cul, cul dans l'brouillard lol - properly tired this week but we got some good vol yesterday so I had to put in an effort to take advantage of it
hindsight 20/20 should've held that last short but holding trades into DO is always a little hit or miss for me and this time I missed lol
hope you're all doing well, see you tmr
if you know me, you know i only work on & talk about products i actually use as a trader first. given i wanted to get really deep on Backpack Futures, i deposited ~$5k into a fresh subacct when i started my new role at @Backpack & built a scaling schedule straight out of my prop days
simple start → drawdown → clip size sheet. 13 levels, $5k to $100k, with trade count + drawdown rules at each level. the same framework we used to grow accounts in prop
took ~4 months, but last week i completed the challenge:
→ 123 trades logged
→ ~$30M in volume
→ $BTC, $ETH, $SOL, $PAXG, $HYPE perps, all on Backpack
nothing teaches you an exchange’s dynamics like actually trading on it. all the small nits, the microstructure quirks — you only find them by living in the product
so what’s next?
topping up with a fresh $100k and going deep on stock trading with Backpack Securities. public beta is live, v2 right around the corner, and i’ve been wanting to make this pivot for a while given everything happening on the equities side — AI, robotics, quantum, space
time to run it back from $200k this time 😉🎒

going to be a quick one from me because I didn't spend much time trading yesterday and woke up too late to catch an NYO set up so I'm just going to take a rest day today
in the coming weeks I think I want to try scalping some Tradfi a bit, mostly US500 and maybe a few others but I've never day traded equities before so I'm curious to see how well my system/read will carry over - stay tuned for that
glhf if you trading today <3 see you tomorrow
yoyoyoooooo coming at you for another sunday funday trade review
caught smth over the weekend so the editting is a bit rough to cut out some coughs but I've been posting a trade review literally every week for months now so it's pretty important to me that I remain consistent and keep the streak going
strong chance I take a few days off this week to give myself a chance to recover before I start to feel worse but I will still say gm ofc, I'm not an animal lol
everyone trying to figure out if Saylor sold this past week and build a MTF thesis around it, tbh who tf knows but I've started to buy a bit of spot BTC and I'll continue to do so on the way down
I know we all have our brains fried from trading the good ol days when you'd catch a 10x in 2 weeks or wtv but a 2x back to ath on a v liquid asset you can push size into is nothing to scoff at imo
starting to look more seriously into accumulating some alts too during the summertime chop, bounce into Q4 seems pretty reasonable
glhf if you trading this week, no hero plays when uncertainty is this high but just keep stacking small wins and you'll be fine <3
sheeeeeeeeeeesh
craziest session I've had in a while, I've always thought that I performed well when there was volatility but honestly I didn't expect my gut feel read to be this good, all those hours/days practicing the cut and reverse really paid off
also marks my largest swing trade to date on BTC which is pretty cool too
HTF swept the prev low and bounced which is what you would hope for if you want the range to hold but it is pretty crazy how little support there was on the way down, figured we'd be back down here but I didn't think it would take 3-4 days to get there lmao
hope you're all doing alright and none of you got caught in the hell loop that is perpetually trying to long the 'bottom'
no need to give into the doomer shit, price ebbs and flows
it'll be back up eventually, you might just have to be a bit more patient than you would've wanted
gmgm
overslept and woke up with a bit of a headache so I think today is gonna be a rest day for me
TPd part of the swing at 67k, leaving 25% left for sub 66k but I'll just close the rest if I think we have reached a solid local bottom
new obsession is not being dogshit at CS so prob just gonna watch the majors lol and I'm meeting a friend later tonight, day just started but it's already over for me
glhf <3
