[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

Hit the $100k milestone in payouts for 2025 this week! About a year ago my bank account was negative, had $50K+ in credit card debt, had to sell our house end of 2024 to pay it all off. I grinded doing Uber, Doordash, dog walking, anything to help pay the bills over the past few years after quitting my job and moving to AZ to give trading a real shot (wife’s idea 💡 lol don’t recommend it until you’re profitable). I even got my life insurance license towards the end of 2024 and I honestly thought that was going to be my career and my trading was done. I had a couple good months $10k+ doing that but it was a grind making 100-200 calls per day I didn't want that for myself. Then I had a tough streak of getting zero sales on sales calls that I thought were slam dunks they all seemed to fall through, it was the weirdest thing.. I took a step back and thought maybe this was God/The Universe telling me not to give up on trading. So I said screw it, I'm going back to trading to give it one more shot and I stopped doing insurance altogether. I had a little success then I lost more again and thought I maybe made a mistake to stop insurance because my bank acct was getting low again to the point of maybe going back to insurance/ubering. Then things started to click for me right when I needed it the most around the middle of this year 2025. Payouts started coming more consistently for me literally out of nowhere. I visualized and felt the success I've been having lately probably thousands of times. If you're struggling you have to find a way to get in the energy of your future successful self. You don't get the success and then the feeling of it, you have to feel successful first and have that identity and then your outer world will align in time after lots of action/effort too. It takes time and focus and lots of patience and perseverance but if you stick with it you can make it happen! As I've said before I was literally the worst trader ever at one point, but slowly have started to figure things out so if you make the decision to start doing things the right way, start following your rules and system, put your head down for a month, forget the PnL, and literally just FOCUS, you can turn your trading around like I did. Wishing nothing but success for everyone on here, I know how hard/dark/painful trading can be but if you don't give up and continue to learn from the pain you can turn things around too! 💚

Just hit the $90K mark in payouts now for 2025. For anyone struggling, just know I was probably the worst trader in the world at one point making every single mistake you can make daily. Oversizing, overtrading, not taking profits, adding to losers. Anything wrong you can do I was doing it. The hole I dug was so deep that even a nice green day or week didn’t feel like any type of progress because I was down so much over the years over six figures easily after my first few years. But eventually you get to the point of being so sick of your own bs mistakes that you keep making over and over and over that you finally decide to start doing shit the right way and take the long hard road instead of trying to make everything back in one massive home run trade and taking a shortcut. Only once you fully let go of the past losses can you actually focus on building some good habits and start to slowly dig your way out. It took me about 5 years of losing before I’ve finally been able to have some success so if you’ve been losing for a long time just know it can get better but you have to make a commitment to yourself to start doing things the right way or you’ll keep self sabotaging. The slow way is actually the fast way. Stop trying to make it all back and just focus on being a little better every day. Forget the $, just focus on following your trading plan and rules. That’s your only focus. You become a winner in your mind before it happens in your real life so start acting and feeling like a winner today. Every day is a clean slate, forget the past, you control your future. Choose to be the person that does things the right way. Do the hard shit. Do what others aren’t willing to do. This game is hard for a reason or else everyone would do it. Believe in yourself. I wish nothing but success for EVERYONE!💚

@Team2Trading 15m closes beyond levels are so $ especially when the next one wicks down to retest the level and breaks higher. some nice ones on NQ today

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@GGxTrades waiting on these still from Apex .... glad you got yours! why are they so damn slow these days, all the other firms payouts hit your bank almost instantly

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@ZurielCael @aw_trades_ @ApexTradeFund Basically just a link to setup a login for their live dashboard and have to wait for onboarding now. Not sure when that will happen they’ll email instructions apparently. So you’ll probably get an email tomorrow I’d guess since my accounts disappeared yesterday

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@aw_trades_ @ZurielCael @ApexTradeFund I just got the live account email from Apex

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@aw_trades_ @ZurielCael @ApexTradeFund if that's the case why not just tell people instead of just deleting all their accounts and not saying anything... can't even access anything on the website anymore

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@ZurielCael @aw_trades_ I had around $8k of payouts approved from last week but haven't hit bank acct still so this was alarming seeing my accts gone, some ppl say it means going live? but not sure... wish there was more communication from @ApexTradeFund on why this is happening and what it means

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@ZurielCael @aw_trades_ I had this happen yesterday and all my PA accounts just vanished...

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@GammaSqueezer @GoldmannSnaccs @obsid__ @PingDePapa @ApexTradeFund I had this happen today, just went to go on Tradovate and don't see any of my 7 PA accounts. Website says I'm under maintenance and waiting on around $7k of payouts that were approved last week but haven't hit my bank account yet....

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@GoldmannSnaccs @PingDePapa @ApexTradeFund I had this happen today. All my accounts not showing up and have some payouts from last week that were approved but haven't hit my bank account yet...

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@matmasr @EVJournal1 @ApexTradeFund me too... never seen this before

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@EVJournal1 @ApexTradeFund I have same thing today... never seen this before. all my funded accounts not showing up in Tradovate

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

@hallnate78 @propfirmtrend I also haven’t received anything and passed a few 50k intra day evals that have the $69 activation deal that ends tonight …. Coincidence?? 😂

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

Followed this up w/ a -$1k per acct day today. As I said knowing when not to trade is important in this game. But actually stopping is the most important part even when you know you should stop sometimes our emotions get the best of us. Learn from the pain & come back better!💪💚

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

One & done today on NQ. Took the small W and called it. Not great PA today. Knowing when to not step on the gas is more important than knowing when to press. These are the conditions that blow accts if you overstay your welcome. Youtube trade review coming. Have a good day! 💚🙏

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

Hoping we don't get a big gap up/down before tomorrow's 930 open.... pretty simple gameplan for tomorrow. Love when we get a smaller range day cuz we usually get a decent move the following day if it breaks...

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

I was already done for the day at this point but this was a clean setup today on NQ that I pointed out in the free discord. Textbook short on the PDL retest near 9ema with nice bearish engulfment then a green to red entry after a wick retest on PDL.

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

Good bounce back day & solid way to end the week! Took one loss to start but kept it small. Caught shorts once we came back inside that range from yesterday & held under PMH/9ema. Biggest error was adding back too soon, took some heat but 5m wicked/held under PMH risk level💚

[Trader Timbo @Trader_Timbo]

Before and after of when my internet went out this morning on my first trade of the day lol perfect timing... #es #nq #daytrading #FuturesTrading
