So this is everything guys, I can't wait to keep up the good work and see how far I can go.
I like to share my raw experience to show what beginning (first few years) in trading is about, and I hope it inspires yall.
I'm always open to feedback and thanks for reading!

and I'm motivated knowing every penny that I make will be mine as long as I reach the goal.
At the same time, of course, I will be trading my personal account exactly the same way, these are some stats about my performance since I came back at late April:
(10/11)
Be careful today, there may be some surprises which can move us fast and furiously. Jan 3rd 2001 was the very first trading day of the new year after the tech bubble burst. I was a very big NQ pit trader at the time and mid morning I was short 28 big NQ which was 28k every 10 points. Greenspan cut rates by 50 basis points late morning on the thinnest day of the year at the thinnest time. The NQ rallied 26% in just a few minutes, the biggest one day rally in history, still is. I was bidding the market up 50-100 pts a crack to get out and there were no offers. I was competing with Susquehanna to get out of shorts, it was a complete nightmare.
When all was said and done I lost 1.5M of my own money, money I never dreamed I would have a couple years previous. I was debit 650K the next day but my reputation was such that my FCM allowed me to trade the next day before I was able to clear up my debit with a posative balance of 1M. It was VERY important to me that I was in the pit the next day. I could not let anyone think I was weakened or fearful. I showed up with head held high and my shoulders back.
I showed up like God sent me.
I am always mindful of that day on FOMC days and on big moves. I know what it feels like to have the world spinning out of control around you where seconds feels like hours. I also know what it feels like to stand on your own two feet when all you want to do is pull the covers over your head and hide a bit. We show up every day to battle, not the market but oursleves.
The best lesson I learned that day was the market cannot hurt me-only I can.
I am going to explain how I made $11,000 in 28 minutes using basic Technical Analysis [LONGED 760 to 815]
Chart annotation below too:
#1 We were breaking down, signs of bottom forming at 690.
#2 We break under but then quickly reclaim with a breakout. (Bullish Change of Structure)
#3 We BREAKOUT through the 750 Resistance. More proof it's a bullish change of structure
#4 We retest the Breakout + tiny resistance #4
#5 Now look for continuation with a stop below the last structure LOW that would swap it into Bearish Structure.

@Fabiioocassas Síi! 100%, no he parado sigo operando cada día, pero reestructurando un poco como lo estoy haciendo y con un plan claro.
Y ya postearé por aquí con más regularidad cuando tenga la consistencia que quiero mostrar🙌💯
@NanoSVQ Buenos trades! Engañó un poco ese primero giro pero había que volver a entrar con ese volumen y giro con fuerza + delta confirmando. Congrats👏
dettached from any PnL metric. I have started with a 2K account and I will come back here at the end of 2026 with the objective of having achieved a consistent good trading execution.
At the same time I will keep on trading funded accounts and expanding my playbook to
