Happy with my trading today. Wanted to take a short in the morning coming into 10AM but didn't, but I waited for my setups to appear. Both long entries were great, pretty much went into profit as soon as I entered, and I took off profit around my target. Both longs eventually reversed after I took profit.

No impulsive trades today. There were spots that I wanted to enter long to get a few points, but held myself back since it was not really my setup. Yes, I didn't catch the short that would have been up a lot. But my style is liquidity sweeps and base hits so today was good trading for me.

Want to keep trading, but calling it here. I pray every morning before trading to have no hesitation, no impulsiveness, and no greed. To me I got what I wanted today, and if I keep trading it would be greed.

Have a good July 4th weekend!

$10,300 day.

Ok day. Stopped out on a backlong at BE in the morning.

Then took two longs after. Took both off at the first target. Both times on they ran past my ultimate target (sweeps).

It's ok. I am ok with taking base hits. Since my lead account is just 1 micro and my other accounts are either 2x or 3x that, it is hard to leave runners without extra managing.

I want to keep trading to catch a few more points but meh. Shutting it down since its past my trading time.

$4.4K profit

Today was the last day of trading for June 2026. Decent month, nothing crazy. The good thing is the total spend I had for this month on props is just $150 (activating one more Bulenox account).

Total payout was $22,040:
$7,500 Bulenox
$7,457 FN
$7,083 Blusky

Net $21,892 profit.

Traded 18 days this month (took 3 days non holidays off):
17 green days (avg $4.7K, highest day $9.6K, lowest day $1.5K)
1 red day (-$500, blew up 5 e8 with just $700 margin, -1.2k on tradeday, green on all other accounts with bigger margin)

I have around $9,000 withdrawable from my live accounts (5,000 from MFF and 4,000 from Tradeday), but I am just going to leave them for now.

Too good of an entry for shorts to not take it. Got back into small green today.

$1.5K profit.

I requested $4,300 from Blusky on last Thursday. Friday I got an email saying they are putting me on the Trader Development Program (their live program). So I have to either void my request, or request only half the amount.

I opted for the 50% reduced payout, which came out to be around $2,000.

The next step for me will be to get my account to $5,000 profit, and they will move $2,000 (5,000-3,000 original margin) to a live account. Total $6,000, with static balance of 3,000 (I am assuming that means I can only draw it down to 3,000, so I am really only getting 3,000 from my accounts that will have combined 15,000 in it)

It kind of sucks since I was hoping to be able to get more payouts before this happens, and it also sucks since I am not getting the full amount. With the $2,000 payout, I will be around $2,500 profit on Blusky (4.5K expense, 7K payout), which is barely anything. But it is what it is, this is the prop game.

When I get BluSky to live I will have 3 live accounts (MFF, TradeDay, and Blusky). I still have FN, Tradeify, and Bulenox as sim accounts. These will be the last batch of prop firms for me. I do not plan on spending anymore money on props and will probably transition to a personal once I'm done with props. I learned a lot from prop firms, I think it is about time I graduate to a personal account.

I had so much hesitation today in trading. Missed good entries long and short. And then stopped myself out before it ran to my targets, on both a short around the top, and a long around the bottom after the drop.

There was a one good thing today. I entered long around 30403.75 trying to catch a bounce. However, as it looked to be failing I manually stopped myself out. Took around a 12 points loss. At the bottom it was 120 points drawdown. Yes if I held it and added I would eventually be in profit again, but stopping out is the right way to go since the structure looked to be failing. My mistake was stopping out too quick and not letting the trade have any space to breathe when I longed at 30314.5.

Now it is past my trade time, and usually the market is slow past 11AM. I am going to do another thing today. Taking a red day. I feel like there is a lot of impulsivity now in me since I hesitated and missed a few good entries, and then stopped myself out one really good entries for both long and short before it ran in my direction. So instead of continuing to trade I will just walk away now, and live to fight another day.

-1K loss.

Will be away from home until Tuesday. I thought about bringing in my laptop to trade on Friday and Monday. However, I think the freedom of trading is that I can trade whenever I want. There is a non zero chance I tilt, so I rather just be able to enjoy the time with family on Friday and Monday. So I am not even going to bring my laptop and just enjoy the time.

It feels like if I don't trade I am losing money. But we cant see it that way. That is toxic mentality. The mentality should be, I can trade any time and make money and therefore I can take any days off that I want.

What a crazy market... 200 points up and down like nothing. I wanted to long coming into 10AM session after the huge drop but didn't. would have been an easy trade.

I waited and shorted. Drewdown like 90 points... Wanted a little higher before adding, but it reversed and I took it off at the first target around 40 points. It then went another 60 points minutes after... But if I had held it would then drew me down a bunch again.

Didn't make as much as I want today, but I am calling it. I am traveling today and have leave soon. Rather have a small green day, than to potentially go red or have to trade longer just to get green again.

Insane market though, can I size smaller than a micro lol?

Requested around $4,300 from Blusky today. I though about maybe just building margin, but I have live accounts to do that in. Rather take what I can from sim fundeds.

$2.9K profits

Terrible trading today. I was waiting for it to sweep a little more and long, but it stopped at 29,525 and then pumped hard. I shorted (a little impulsive of an entry but not exactly wrong) and was around 30 points of profit but didn't take it. I should have at that point protected my position by setting a stop at BE. I thought about it but I didn't, and then it pumped close to 200 points against me. I was somewhat patient on my average in but still drewdown pretty hard.

The thing is, if I held my original position with no adds. I would eventually still ended in profit. What a crazy market. If I held my big sized position, I would be in huge profits.

However, it was not wrong when I was in 5 micros to derisk 4 really quick. In my experience, whenever I get into somewhat a heavy position, I am usually given the chance to derisk. And many times when I don't that's when I blow my accounts. Yes there will be times this results in big gains. But think about this. If doing this results in 10% of the time you blow your accounts. It is not worth it. Especially for me since I copytrade. Survival is key.

The mistake I made was taking the last remaining micro off when I felt like the short still looked good. Later I took a long for like 40 points and decided to call it a day.

Oh well. It's a profitable day but it was not clean at all. I have things to ponder on.

I got paid out by Bulenox yesterday for 3 accounts for 4.5k total. Bulenox has been a very solid firm for me so far.

$3.6K profits.

#futurestrading #daytrading $nq $mnq

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

Got a good short in the morning but took profits early. I had the right read. Then I tried to catch some points longs to get to benchmark for FN. Tried and stopped out once. I was patient though and finally got it.

$6.5K profit.

#futurestrading #daytrading $nq $mnq

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

Wanted a little higher before shorting but it didn't get there. I was counter trending the whole time but I was pretty patient with my entries and also stopping out as needed. I could have left 1 micro runner on longs for my last trade but that's ok. I am content with the profit.

I have 3 bulenox accounts that I requested payout for that I will not touch until Wednesday when they are either approved or denied.

$8K profit.

#futurestrading #daytrading $nq $mnq

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

Weird day. I had my FN account as leader for copy trading, saw a good place to enter, tried to fill but it said order rejected. Took me a few minutes to figure out what is wrong, and by then the position already ran past my target.

I think FN closed trading today for Juneteenth instead of tomorrow so no one's orders for micros are going through. I had to switch over to have another account as leader but it was a little frustrating because I would have been done already if it went through.

I activated another bulenox account, so now I have 6. I got the payout for 2 of them yesterday. Will request another 3 of them today.

I am not trading tomorrow.

$3.6K profit. Decent week. 4 days of trading, around $20,000 profit.

#futurestrading #daytrading $nq $mnq

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

2 big hesitation today. I wanted to the drop after 10AM, didn't do it. And then I shorted around the top, but stopped myself out before the big drop. Then I caught a long but had to add. Took profits before the big dump. Always secure profits.

I had stoploss at BE for my longs after they went into profit but I would probably have gotten slipped and lost a good amount since the move was so violent.

Got my $7.4K payout from FN.

$9.6K profit today.

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

Decent day today, one and done. I was looking for shorts, I wanted it higher, it didn't give it to me. There was an entry I could have took but it was risky so I didn't take it.

Waited for a long and took 50 points. I sized up FN accounts, I try to do 1 micro per 2k. I am going to take a payout today, which will drop me back to 1 micro. That's ok. I am scale other accounts and will use others for payouts.

$3.9K profits

#futurestrading #daytrading $nq $mnq

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

A little bit of a frustrating day. I was longing, took profits, and wanted more of a pull back before entering again. But the market just decided to keep pumping.

I was very patient on waiting for a good short though. And just took it off as a base hit.

Traded a little longer today than I would like.

BluSky payout hit last Friday. This brings me into profit with them. I had a $4.5K spend, and with this payout I have total $5.1K payout so far, making me $600 negative.

Now the firms I am negative on are Alpha ($3k), Topstep ($600), FundingTicks ($5k, rugged before I could get a payout), PropShop ($1.5K), ETF ($100), FTT ($1.7K, rugged while waiting for my 10k payout with them). I have no intentions of trying any of these firms again either because I can't (rugged) or because the rules.

$3.1k profit on the day.

#futurestrading #daytrading $nq $mnq

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

Not the best day today. It started off well with me catching a good long with pretty much no drawdown. Then I wanted more profits and took a bad trade and gave back all my profits and some before getting back into profit. Ugh.

It is a little irritating because I was trying to hit the benchmark for FN. I need to just let it happen naturally and not force it. When the margin gets higher I can just size up and more easily hit the benchmark. When I trade for benchmark I am trading for pnl, and when I trade for pnl it usually does not end well.

I might just take tomorrow off. They are fixing the house and we can't use water so I might just leave. Also it is spacex ipo, I don't really know if I want to deal with the volatility.

$7.2K profit.

#futurestrading #daytrading $nq $mnq

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

Stopped myself out of a long before it pumped. I wanted to short the break of Asia high but didn't. But I was very patient on waiting for another opportunity for a long. Took around 60 points, if I waited a few more seconds it would have been over 100 points.

It's ok. I know I won't catch all the moves. In fact, it is way below my entry now, so the reverse is also true, if I held it for a bit longer I would have given back the 60 points. So I am content with the base hits and just catching a portion of the move. I was able to quit my job off of base hits, not home runs.

I want to keep trading but I am again doing my best to follow my rules just trading around 1 hr.

$4.3K profit.

#futurestrading #daytrading $nq $mnq

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

Not the easiest day. I started off with a great entry on a short but took profits super early. Then tried to long and got caught in the big dump. I might consider just doing 2 micros across the board so I can trim one and let one run. The hope

Two real mistakes I made today. Three if you count the early profit taking, but I won't count that one since where I took it it looked like it might bounce, and it did, just not to my entry before the big drop. The first mistake is when I was trying to long I was around 15 points in profit, usually when I counter trend I would set my SL to BE super quick, today I didn't and paid for it. The second mistake was too heavy of an add on my second entry. It worked out today, but that was super risky. Not that where I entered is risky, but the heavy sizing is. The market is too volatile right now for heavy sizing.

Shutting it down now.

$7K profit.

#futurestrading #daytrading $nq $mnq

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

Not the best day. Nothing drastically wrong, but my execution could have been a lot better.

I had a long around the bottom but when it went around 15 points in profit I stopped out at BE. Then I tried to short the pump. One good thing is the shorts I entered was not impulsive. It was at key points and I managed them ok, stopped out when at BE a few times since I was counter trending.

I wanted to average into my shorts around 29,740 area, but didn't end up doing it. And then I took profits on the short I had way too early. After that I traded just my Bulenox and FN to try to get a benchmark day.

$3.7K profit.

#futurestrading #daytrading $nq $mnq

[UnshackledTrading @UnshackledTrade]

Relatively easy day today. Got in a long after the hard sell off and ate some drawdown. But I size small so it was easy to hold. Took a base hit and calling it a day. Around 15 minutes of trading.

I took profits around 50 points. My live accounts I had runners and took those off around 100 points.

The hope is eventually I will be able to hold runners for all my accounts.

$4k Profits.
