Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing

[Trader Torres @TradingTorres]

Nice little MNQ long to start Friday! 📈

Caught the bounce from the overnight lows and rode it back up toward the previous day's POC. Happy with the trade and the return on my risk.

Now I'm off to the gym and staying away from the charts for a bit. 😂

Already a good start to the day, so no reason to force anything before NYC.

Fridays are where I want to be extra careful about giving profits back. If another good setup comes, great. If not, I'm perfectly happy calling it a week.

Let's finish strong and enjoy the weekend! 💪

I'm definitely going to keep trading London, but I need to respect my location-first rule. Regardless of the session, I should only be trading at key levels where there's a reason for market participants to get involved, not just random areas because I see some price action.

No valid level, no trade. That's what I need to get better at sticking to.

Day 4 of my study.

Had a terrible London session. No proper plan, kept flipping between longs and shorts in chop, and even sized up after a loss. Pretty much everything I'm trying to stop doing.

NY was a completely different story.

NQ swept the overnight lows around 28,040, right into the gamma put wall. Sellers were showing exhaustion on the footprint, and the opening bar came in with strong positive delta.

Took the long at 28,133 with 5 MNQ micros.

Spent about 75 minutes watching price chop around, but this time I actually let the trade develop instead of manually closing it like I did earlier this week.

Eventually NQ broke out, and I scaled out as price pushed toward 28,600.

Finished the NY trade at +3.7R (around +$3,237). 🔥

Still made mistakes. My entry was late, my stop wasn't ideally placed, and London was a mess.

But after four days of studying my trades, one thing is becoming pretty obvious:

When I have my levels and triggers written down before the session, I trade much better. When I don't, I start forcing things.

The NY win doesn't excuse my London execution.

Still plenty to work on, especially my patience and overtrading.

One day at a time.

@RealizedTrader Exactly!!

[Trader Torres @TradingTorres]

Had an incredible morning and came VERY close to passing Phase 3 of my $250K evaluation with @tradeifyforex.

Unfortunately, I started trailing my stop, got taken out earlier than I wanted, and ended up just $3,000 short of passing.

That's where things went wrong.

Instead of accepting that I'd have to wait for another opportunity, I got frustrated and started chasing those last $3,000.

Ended up giving back a good chunk of my profits and finished the day around +$14,000.

Which is still a fantastic result, but honestly, I'm disappointed with how I traded toward the end.

I let the excitement of being so close to passing the evaluation get the better of me.

Another reminder that you can have a great setup, make good money, and still execute poorly.

I didn't need to pass today. I just needed to be patient.

Account is fine, and there's always tomorrow.

What a difference a day makes! 😂📈

Finished with:
🔥 +$2,228 on MNQ (+8.9R)
🔥 +$15,411 on my $250K NAS100 swing evaluation with @tradeifyforex

At the Globex open, MNQ dropped straight into monthly VWAP around 27,852. Saw absorption on the footprint and took the long at 27,864 with 5 micros.
Placed my stop below structure and targeted the PDH / gamma call wall around 28,087. Moved my stop into profit before bed and left it alone.

Woke up to my TP filled! Price kept running another 190 points, but I'm happy with the exit.

My NAS100 swing long from Tuesday's CPI selloff also hit TP overnight for +$15,411.

The funny part? Yesterday I had the right read but kept manually closing trades out of fear. Finished red because I couldn't leave them alone.

Today I placed my orders, trusted my plan, and let the trades play out.

Same kind of setup, completely different execution.

Three days into the study: 10 trades, +12.4R.

Not taking any more trades today. It's a US bank holiday, and I'm expecting lower volume.

Really happy with the progress. Still plenty to improve, but this was a good reminder to stop getting in my own way. 😂

A little follow-up to my earlier post.

After a terrible day of execution, I stepped away. Later tonight, NQ swept a key level around 27,540 and reclaimed it. Took the long, and I'm letting it run overnight.

It reminded me of something: there's no shortage of setups.

When you're frustrated, it's easy to feel like you need to recover your losses immediately. But that's bullshit. 😂

The market will keep giving us opportunities.

If you're not executing well, step aside. Missing a trade is better than forcing one.

This long could still lose tomorrow, but I'm happy I waited for a setup I actually liked.

Live to trade another day! 💪

Rough day for me.

Finished around -$780 (-1.2R), and red across my accounts.

The frustrating part is that my analysis was actually right. I had the levels marked, knew what I was looking for, and even caught the exact setup I had planned.

But my execution was shit.

After the CPI selloff, I started taking trades without proper confirmation. Then at the NY open, price swept the lows and reclaimed weekly VWAP, exactly what I was waiting for.

I entered long, had my stop below structure, and then manually closed on a normal pullback. My stop never got hit, and NQ ended up running 300+ points.

Then I made things worse by chasing re-entries.

7 trades today compared to 2 yesterday. That says enough.

The reality is that you can have a great read on the market, the right levels, and a solid plan, but none of that matters if you can't execute it properly.

I'm not going to pretend I'm some amazing trader. I'm still making stupid mistakes, and the whole reason I'm documenting this journey is because I want to become a better trader.

And honestly, I'm incredibly thankful prop firms exist. If I had taken today's losses with my own capital, I'd be pretty fucking pissed. 😂

Thankfully, all my accounts are still alive and in good standing.

Two days into the study: 9 trades, +3.5R overall.

Today sucked, but I survived. And that's what matters right now. Protect the accounts, learn from the mistakes, and live to trade another day.

I don’t really understand. I saw the previous comment saying, “hopefully they don’t move you to live,” but isn’t that exactly what you’d want?

Their live account seems pretty solid... 90% split, same account size, and you can even get daily payouts. So why would you prefer staying on funded instead of going live?

@B0Bfx @tradeifyforex Whats the live size for 100k?

@tafare_abdul Thank you!!!

What an absolutely insane start to the week! 🔥

Had two great MNQ longs today. Both came from the same demand zone I had marked before the session.

The main trade was the reclaim of 26,900 after sellers failed to hold the breakdown. Buyers took the level back, and I entered long with confirmation from the footprint.

Finished +4.7R across the two futures trades.

But here's the crazy part...

Took that same long idea on my $250K evaluation with @tradeifyforex and managed to catch a massive move.

+$25,236 on that trade alone, passing Phase 2! 🥛🏆

And to top it off, I also received my funded trader certificate for another $25K account.

Really happy with how today went. I planned my levels, waited for price to get there, and traded what I saw.

Still have Phase 3 ahead of me on the $250K, but what a day!

Hope everyone had a great session! 💪

Week so far: 2 trades, 2 wins, +4.7R (~+$2,455).

The key area was 26,880–26,925: Nov 5 POC, weekly open, and today’s VAL. It had already held twice overnight, but on the third test buyers barely defended and price broke down toward Thursday’s low around 26,750.

I had two scenarios planned in advance:

Thursday’s low holds and 26,900 gets reclaimed → Long

26,900 acts as resistance and fails → Short

Thursday’s low held. Price came back into 26,900, initially rejected, then buyers reclaimed it and held above.

Entry: 26,910.50
Stop: 26,818
Size: 3 micros to keep the same dollar risk.
I moved the stop to breakeven at +2R and took 1 contract off at 27,079.75 near the gamma flip / VWAP band.

The breakout at VWAP then got absorbed with -930 delta. My rule was simple: if the next candle didn’t continue, I was out. It didn’t, so I closed the final 2 contracts at 27,050.50.

Biggest lesson for me today: earlier this morning I missed a short because I hesitated and didn’t have a clear trigger. This time I defined both scenarios before price got there and simply executed.

What I need to improve: my original 27,320 target ignored too much resistance in between. Next time I’ll plan staged targets from the start.

Level first, confirmation second, execution last.

Trade #1 of my public journal this week.

I expected the Globex open to be interesting because Friday’s QQQ 650 put wall, converted to NQ, lined up nicely with a demand zone and the weekly open.

Price swept below the area, but the footprint showed sellers getting absorbed and buying stepping in at the lows. Once we reclaimed 26,900, I took the long.

+3R / +$1,563

Level first, order flow confirmation second, execution last.

@tradeifyforex I've always believed trading is a journey. An arduous climb toward a summit that looks different for every trader.

There is no single path to success. You have to discover your own, one decision, one lesson, and one disciplined step at a time.

My take on the @tradeifyforex #TradeifyRedesign

I've always believed trading is a journey. An arduous climb toward a summit that looks different for every trader.

There is no single path to success. You have to discover your own, one decision, one lesson, and one disciplined step at a time.

To me, gold, trophies, and material rewards aren't what make this journey meaningful. It's the path you took to get there, the obstacles you overcame, and the discipline you developed along the way.

Because the ultimate goal isn't just profit. It's finding your own path to freedom.

That's the story I wanted these certificates to tell. Each milestone is another step toward your own summit.
