📈 I have registered for the free three-month Balanced Trader course: discipline first, then the market. Every trader is interviewed. #BalancedTraderCourse#trading https://t.co/OQ9ibOq0nA
Been seeing the 'garbage' and 'quitting' comments a lot this week.
Now more than ever, it seems profitable to be looking at several types of data and focusing on one symbol only.
Took a decent small trade on CPI release. Price action off the 0930h open was gross, stayed out. Locked myself out for the day around 1000h NYC time.
Time to fire up the grill. Back at it tomorrow.
@Trading_Balance No worries. I’m offering because you said Rules are more important than P&L. And no flashy BS. I think that’s the only way to do it and actually help people reach consistent profitability.
🚨 200 Traders. 3 Months. One Experiment.
What if we stripped trading back to what it used to be?
No gurus.
No shortcuts.
No Lamborghinis.
No nonsense.
Just process, discipline and screen time.
For 3 months, I'm considering taking 200 traders under my wing.
🕖 7am - 6pm. Every day.
You'll go through many of the same principles, routines and standards I went through as a developing trader.
You'll learn the things nobody teaches:
✅ Risk management when it actually matters
✅ Professional routines and preparation
✅ Market behaviour and auction principles
✅ Discipline under pressure
✅ Accountability
✅ How real traders think
What you'll get:
📈 Mentorship from a trader with 25+ years of experience, much of it in professional prop environments
💻 Access to an institutional-grade trading platform for 1 month.
📊 Your screens. Your decisions. Your routine. Your P&L.
And here's the truth...
Your P&L doesn't matter. Your behaviour does.
Break the rules three times and you're out.
Not because losing money is a crime.
Because failing to follow process is.
The objective isn't to make money in three months.
The objective is to build the foundations that can help you survive and potentially thrive for years to come.
Every applicant will be interviewed.
I'm looking for people who are serious about becoming traders.
Not people looking for shortcuts.
🎯 The first 200 accepted will receive the programme free of charge.
⚠️ Fair warning: this is as much an experiment as it is a training programme.
Guinea pigs welcome.
If there's enough interest, I'll explore making it happen.
👍 A like, comment or share helps me gauge demand.
Who's in? Criteria will apply.

@Trading_Balance Background includes recertification and in-service training for emergency services as well as operations management. Happy to help with all the organization and admin behind the scenes.
@Trading_Balance This would be a dream come true. Dalton framework, old school rules, serious work ethic, no shortcuts.
When you consider the long term benefits of locking in for three months with this kind of attitude and experience in the lead…
Sign me up! Will work my tail off.
The downside risk on $SPY might be lower than you think it is.
Last year’s high might be too obvious. Anyone who bought anything after some time in May is looking at their mostly break even portfolio this weekend. CVD is now back to flat YTD.
Been through this before?
🇵🇾 And just like that, Paraguay is fighting its way back to normal.
27 people charged over Ueno. Depositors already beginning to receive their money. A president facing impeachment, with a constitutional successor ready if needed.
Paraguay can be slow, disorganised and frustrating at times. But never mistake that for weakness.
Paraguayans are proud, stubborn as hell, and when things really matter, they step up and get things done.
Family first. Country first. A strong sense of community, and plenty of faith in God.
There’s something special about these people.
Not bad for a so called “third world country”.
Maybe the developed world should be taking notes.
Few days of looking at alternatives for charting, heat map, footprint, greeks profiles, order placement w/ trade management, multi account copying, etc…
First, WOW. There are some interesting platforms out there trying to bring it all together.
So far @gocharting , @openmarket_xyz , and @AtasTrading , @Deepcharts have all caught my eye.
@tradingview is so far behind.
@gocharting All three.
Anchored for a high timeframe and intermediate timeframe profile which some call a Composite Profile.
Fixed Range for establishing the Value Area Highs and Lows of high timeframe brackets.
Session, both weekly and daily, analyzing overlapping value vs trending.
Looking for an alternative to TradingView.
After @gocharting replied to my post, I took a hard look at their platform today.
Impressive. It has all the functionality I’m used to. Surprisingly easier to use in some ways than over a decade of experience with TV and few w/ Ninja.
I’m increasingly looking for an alternative to TradingView. The recent update adds a catalyst on top of my perception of a long term performance deterioration.
