🚨 A new scam is taking place in America that allows scammers to get your phone number to get past 2-Factor Authentication
Scammers can then get access to your social media accounts, bank accounts and more
AT&T Employee “I work at AT&T and over the last couple days, I've witnessed multiple malicious port-outs, which means that a scammer has tricked your cell phone carrier into allowing them to port your number over into a device that they control, which in turn lets them do the two-factor authentication
Allowing them into your bank account, your email, your social media. A way to prevent this from happening, and this isn't just for AT&T, this is for any cell phone carrier that you have. Most of them have a port-out protection that you should turn on because this has been happening quite a bit lately. So just letting you know”
Again this could happen on any cell phone carrier you have.
I researched and found port-out protection is a free feature offered by major U.S. carriers, including T-Mobile, Metro, and others
Make sure you do this
If I could sit my younger trading self-down for 10 minutes, this is exactly what I’d tell him.
No fluff. No clichés.
Just the lessons that would've saved me from blowing accounts, overtrading & coping on CT.
🧵: 7 Trading tips I wish someone told me when I started trading.👇
watched a guy study ICT for 14 months
memorized every concept
2022 model
FVG
order blocks
breaker blocks
optimal trade entry
took his first live trade
got stopped out
"i don't understand, i followed the model perfectly"
no mf
you followed the MODEL
but ICT's model was built for ICT's psychology
not yours
and that's why you're broke after 14 months of "studying":
here's what nobody tells you about ICT:
the concepts work
the strategy works
the model works
for HIM
because it was designed around HIS:
- risk tolerance
- patience level
- session availability
- psychology
- decision making speed
you're not ICT
you have different psychology
different risk tolerance
different session availability
different decision making
so his model breaks when YOU use it
it's like wearing someone else's prescription glasses
and being confused why you can't see clearly
"but the glasses work for them"
yeah
for THEIR eyes
not yours
here's the real path to profitability:
step 1: stop copying ICT (or any guru)
step 2: answer these questions about YOURSELF:
- how many losses can you handle before you tilt? (be honest)
- how long can you wait for entry before FOMO hits?
- what time can you actually trade?
- do you like holding trades or quick in/out?
- how much heat can you handle before panic closing?
step 3: build a system around YOUR answers
example:
if you can only handle 2 losses before tilting:
max 2 trades per day
done after 2nd loss
if FOMO hits after 15 minutes:
only scalp the first 15 minutes of session
laptop closes after that
if you panic at -20 points:
use smaller stops
accept smaller R:R
you're building a system that WORKS with your psychology
not FIGHTING your psychology
the ICT cultist tries to change his brain to fit the model
the profitable trader changes the model to fit his brain
guess who wins?
i've worked with 40+ traders who spent 1-2 years studying ICT
ALL of them unprofitable
then we built THEIR system
not ICT's system
THEIR system based on:
- THEIR risk tolerance
- THEIR session availability
- THEIR psychology
- THEIR weaknesses
70% profitable within 90 days
not because ICT was wrong
because copying ICT was wrong
you can't Ctrl+C Ctrl+V someone else's psychology
you need YOUR system
built for YOUR brain
that's the only way it works
stop studying ICT
start studying YOURSELF
stop learning his concepts
start building your framework
stop forcing his model
start creating your model
ICT isn't your problem
trying to BE ICT is your problem
you're not him or any other fucking guru
never will be
stop trying
build YOUR system
for YOUR psychology
with YOUR rules
that's how you win
@illegalfreedom0 Serious question, why do you consider his mentorship a scam? Is it the material taught, fact that it is so expensive? Do you feel that way about all paid courses? Are there any you feel are worth it?
While some people sit around speculating about what Bitcoin might do next, we’re busy trading it properly. Trading gives you immediate feedback. You don’t have to wait months or years to find out if your bet was right. The results are there, visible in real time.
At Profit Platoon, we focus on teaching traders how to approach markets with emotional intelligence, diligence, and patience. Not swinging for the fences but hitting the bases. We use the MarketSpy Trading System, a simple yet algorithmically sophisticated framework that has delivered consistent results for over five years through our YouTube and Discord community.
Some of our traders have gone on to become full-time professionals. Others dropped out because they wanted shortcuts. That’s natural. The ones who remain long understood that quality discretion beats retail automation. They learned to read price with intent, not dependency or hope.
What I offer is a structured methodology that helps traders identify accurate swing points and draw meaningful support and resistance levels that actually hold. Most people know the theory, but few understand how to apply it consistently.
You've heard of the 50% retracement concept before, but perhaps lack clarity in applying it properly. Many traders draw their midpoints differently - by session, by candle, by range, or by high and low - and most of those levels fail because they’re not grounded in objective data.
I’ve been trading full-time for nearly fifteen years and running a private community that’s grown entirely through word of mouth. Inside, I teach methods that sharpen focus, reduce noise, and improve precision in execution.
One of the most effective beginner frameworks I teach is based on the 50% retracement methodology, something I originally called HC Theory - the Half Candle Theory. It’s a clean, objective way to understand where price is likely to react.
We call this approach P.R.A.D.A. It stands for:
Price Reversals At Dynamic Averages!
Psychological Range And Demand Alignment
Price Reaction At Defined Area
Pivot Range And Depth Analysis
Pressure Reversal At Daily Apex
Precision Range And Dynamic Adjustment
We simply call it PRADA, and it explains itself.
So for example, during the recent intra-day consolidation that’s been ongoing over the weekend, one of my favorite trading setups has been forming within the range. I did a live stream on my YT channel to explain what I was looking for (very playful and educational streams, unlike the overly serious trading videos that go on about endless theory and rarely apply what they preach) and executed 3 or 4 trades that netted over $5k in profit. That's typical returns every few weeks (even days) for a 50k+ account of a MarketSpy trader with proper risk management. I share some standout setups on Discord usually... Anyways, I don’t chase trends much here because price spends most of its time in a range, and once you learn to master that, you gain real control. Not that I never called the top or the bottom on Bitcoin in the past *ahem* I have an entire playlist on YouTube dedicated to range trading using different MarketSpy strategies.
Until now, I’ve mostly focused on advanced traders. But I’m shifting attention toward beginners who want to start off on the right foot. I'm starting to share simplified methods and core concepts that’ll help you see the market the right way from day one.
Follow, like, and re-share this post so others can benefit. And look forward to the next update when I go into these strategies in detail. And if you’re serious about learning, join our community. You’ll find the links if you look close enough.
Now let’s make some profit.
