10 years in the markets, now trading futures with prop firms. I post about prop firm rules, evaluations, risk management and crypto. Follow along if you're on the same path 📈

Friday: protect the week. A clean day can still get donated in the last hour if I go looking for one more trade. I close the platform when I'm done. How do you shut it down on Friday?

I hold $SPCX for Starlink, the network, and space AI compute. Then a launch starts and I watch it like it's Sunday football. The thesis is the network. The show is hard to ignore. What are you actually buying?

High-impact USD today: PPI and Core PPI at 8:30 AM ET. I check the time first, then I decide whether to trade it or sit it out. No predictions from me. How are you handling the print?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

Before you start a prop eval, confirm the daily loss, the drawdown type, and that your size survives a normal losing day. What's the rule traders skip most?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

No high-impact USD prints on today's calendar. The one I'm watching is Unemployment Claims at 8:30 AM ET (medium), then FOMC speakers later in the session. What's on your list?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

The US calendar is dark for Veterans Day, and I can still find a way to overtrade a quiet tape. Sitting it out is a plan. What made you stand down today?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

Protect the downside first. The setup will still be there tomorrow. 10 years of futures, same rule. What's the rule you actually follow when a trade goes against you?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

@TruDeFi_io Appreciate it! My take: any multi-chain revenue setup lives or dies on three things. Where the revenue actually comes from, how it's verified across chains, and what happens when a bridge or data feed breaks. Real usage first, token second. Where does yours come from?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

Chainlink (LINK) is crypto plumbing most people never see: oracle networks that feed outside data, like asset prices, to smart contracts. DeFi apps such as Aave use its price feeds. Investing in LINK? Track real adoption and risks, not just the chart. What's your LINK thesis?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

Veterans Day. Forex Factory has the US on a bank holiday, and there's no high-impact USD data on the calendar. If you trade the session anyway, size for a thinner market. What's your plan today?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

I own $SPCX for Starlink and the network, not the rockets. Still, every launch stream turns me into a guy yelling "GO GO GO" at the screen like it's my trade. Rockets are the show. The network is the business. What are you actually buying when you invest?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

Tuesday futures thought: a green morning is the riskiest time to raise your size. You feel sharp, double up, and one trade gives back the whole day. In a prop eval, consistency beats one hero trade. Same size, same rules, done when the plan says done. What's your walk-away rule?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

NEAR lets you use a readable account name like alice.near instead of a 64-character string. Meanwhile I still check every pasted address four times like I'm defusing a bomb. Investing in NEAR? Study usage and risks, not just the chart. Ever sent crypto to the wrong address?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

Monday futures plan: know your daily loss limit before the open, not after the first red trade. In a prop eval, one bad morning can undo a week of clean trading. Take your setups, keep your size, and be fine sitting on your hands. What's your Monday rule?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

Solana (SOL) is a high-speed layer-1 chain used for DeFi, payments, and consumer apps. If you're investing in SOL, look at real usage, fees, and network reliability, not just the chart. Fast chains still need durable demand. What's on your SOL checklist?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

Sunday futures prep: ✅ mark key levels ✅ check the economic calendar ✅ set the daily loss limit

Also me: opens the chart "for five minutes" and it's suddenly 3 hours later.

Weekend charts don't move. Your plan should. What's on your Sunday checklist?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

Chainlink (LINK) is the data layer many DeFi apps lean on price feeds, reserve checks, settlement triggers smart contracts can't fetch alone. If you're investing in LINK, start with the use case (oracles, RWAs, prediction markets), then size. A chart isn't a thesis.

🚨NEAR INTENTS BLOCKED 500M+ QUOTES FROM BINANCE HACKERS!

@AlexAuroraDev of @near_intents said the protocol has refused to process more than 500 million quotes from the Binance hackers since the incident.

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

People think I bought $SPCX for the rockets. 🚀

Nah. I bought it for everything else: Starlink connecting the world, AI compute in space, and the bigger network SpaceX is building.

The rockets are just the delivery truck.

What's the most underrated part of SpaceX?

[ArtofAlex @_artofalex]

Holding SOL, NEAR and LINK doesn't mean turning off my critical thinking. I want to keep asking: what's getting used, what gives the token value, and what could break the thesis? Conviction should survive questions, not avoid them.
