First time seeing my childhood home renovated in person.

Still have some punch-list items but seeing trading profits being put into real assets is next level.

Maybe time to take a vacation

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

It took me almost 4 months to hit a multi 7-figure payout at @ApexTradeFund

I followed all the rules to the best of my ability. No warnings. No violations. No full porting to build huge buffers.

Just slow, methodical, consistent trading.

50 cent may be the only successful professional troll

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

I didn’t mean to trade other peoples money.

I meant your purpose as a trader is to trade for them and their future.

The IQ on this app never ceases to amaze me.

If you want a fast way to turn your trading around.,.

Start trading for others instead of yourself.

Trade for your parents, your siblings, your children, your significant other, your closest circle.

Trading for selfish motives is a dead end..

Still have my login for Forex Factory. 1384 posts chronicling my journey as a trader.. system hopping for 10 years because I was lost in a sea of information without any real guidance.

Today, there’s so much GOOD info about trading, and centralized places like YouTube where you can directly learn from an educator without added noise.

You can also watch people trade LIVE.

This wasn’t a popular thing pre-COVID.

Hell, people weren’t even comfortable on camera when zoom became a real thing.

We live in an age where the barrier to entry basically doesn’t exist.

The problem now is that everyone’s attention spans are 30 seconds long, and people have a hard time with independent thinking because social platform algorithms are driving their daily narratives.

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

I’m rooting for you.

The reality of social media and trading is that nothing online is going to replace the work you put in.

When 90% of the losing demographic is too busy ranting on Twitter… the top 10% are just quietly working in the background.

Isolation.

Sleepless nights of study.

Deep reflection.

I’m 35 now, and I’ve seen some shit.. to say the least.

Since I started trading in 2011…I’ve seen systems come and go, course sellers come and go, hype bubbles, global crisis, bank collapses, currency depeg (eurchf), and a TON of traders who said they wanted to be traders that disappeared from the markets when times got tough.

The ONLY constant in all of this?

Me, my charts, and my journal.

Stick around long enough and you’ll realize that your success relied on you all long.

Here’s the thing about trading at scale.

Larger p&l is a byproduct of larger risks.

Some traders inherently have a ceiling with what they’re comfortable with.

The senior traders I talk to, who have desks, prefer to bring someone onboard who is a gunslinger.. because it’s easier to dial back their risk.

It’s much harder to get someone who is risk averse, to trade bigger.

There’s nothing wrong with making a decent living from trading and living below your means.. it should be the goal of any trader.

You don’t need to have all the riches in the world to be happy.

The ultimate goal of trading is freedom, not money.

Clawdbot: execute undetectable hedging strat at the top 5 prop firms

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

Since basically October, these are the most sideways markets I’ve seen in my 15 year career.

If you’re having a hard time right now, cut yourself some slack.

It won’t be like this forever…. (Hopefully)

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

100 point run to close the week.

Exited at midnight open.

Enjoy the long weekend..

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

Not insane to a retarded person.

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

It’s amusing that some of you would think I would actually tarnish my reputation by lying that I work for a firm.. have them on my LinkedIn.. and one specifically located AT the CBOT with an email on their site that you can contact.

I am not that stupid..

You might look stupid by showing up there, asking for Eddie.. and finding out I actually do work there 😭

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

I lost the house guys.

Anyone have a spare couch?

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

Its PNT Financial out of Chicago.

They're located at the old CBOT.

No social presence..

I already mentioned this part of my journey is mine.. no need to share.. because 99.9% of trader on twitter don't have access to this..

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

I trade for an institutional firm in Chicago.

Essentially unlimited amounts of available capital.. as big as your strategy will let you get.

Do you know the rules of my account?

There are none.

No daily loss limits.

No rules about news.

Can hold overnight.

The only rule is that you don't lose the account.

The split isn't as good as retail, but the amount of capital makes up the difference... by a LARGE margin.

[JadeCap @jadecap_]

There were signs...
