Fun fact.. I have never placed a single order on any Forex pair! Tried a few on Gold and a few on oil though, but nowadays I would label them Degen trades 😅
Mom, I made it! 🎉 7 months in, and here is my first payout ever for $27,000+ from @ApexTradeFund using ICT concepts.
I wanna give credit where credit is due:
@casper_smc: Great teacher; if you want an easy, simplified entry to ICT, watch his YT videos! 📚
@TanjaTrades: Bagel Bestie, stay calm, no FOMO, accept the losses! 🙏
@wordsofrizdom: This podcast. THIS PODCAST! Completely changed my mindset & taught me alot.🎧🧠
@AhmadIsmail1979: Scaling & copier technical tips.⚙️
And to the mystery guy who saw me studying in the airport and told me "you will make it", winked and then vanished!
@nakeyexecutes@ApexTradeFund@casper_smc@TanjaTrades Yes it works across trading view and tradovate and Rithmic. All on ninja trader. You can set the quantity and ratio and copier rules as you see fit and your primary account size doesn’t matter and sometimes I switch between them.
@80s_Trader @ApexTradeFund@casper_smc@TanjaTrades I am not there yet, to be honest, and I am still struggling with that myself 😅 But believe it or not, the more backtesting I do, the more I am convinced to follow my rules cause I saw evidence and data of profitability if I stick to it.
@BoogieBounceD24@ApexTradeFund@casper_smc@TanjaTrades Sorry it’s too soon for me to give any advices now and I don’t want to say cliche stuff like keep grinding and you will make it. But one thing that made a hell of difference in my faith in trading was backtesting a mechanical strategy and seeing it profitable on consistent basis.
@stevelouismusic 11 trading days on 15 funded accounts. Lots of losses and learnings before that for several months. Lots of sleepless nights and self doubts :)
@TheAstroProgram @ApexTradeFund They paid me on the 18th. Transfer was delayed from intermediary banks for compliance queries. They start processing the payments by the 15th but sometimes earlier.
@svenpflueger @casper_smc@TanjaTrades No no no. Don’t look at it this way. It’s not a race. You will reach a payout when it’s time for you to reach a pay out. And who knows, maybe by then you will even be more successful and consistent then those who had an early payout. To each his own journey!
@Osamakh79879780 The serious learning yes! And I had a couple of months last year as well. And of course I failed challenges and blown multiple funded accounts as well.
