Software Engineer // NQ trader. WIP

[f8shift @f8shift]

I spent 20+ years building software. Then I got laid off. Now I trade NQ.

I’ve been trading futures for a few years but I'm still working on consistency.

Reading charts is one thing. Managing risk and staying patient is where I still struggle.

Here to exchange ideas and share a few thoughts while I figure this out.

[f8shift @f8shift]

@stefanytrades @Topstep Yes, you are doing amazing!

[f8shift @f8shift]

@iamzarb @cowboyandking Most likely STOMPED!

[f8shift @f8shift]

@dontbsalti @THouseTraders Right, they’re not. I suspect the narrative shifts depending on which audience they’re trying to attract. Business is business.

[f8shift @f8shift]

@tradercams Yes

[f8shift @f8shift]

@dontbsalti @THouseTraders Yes, I agree with you when it comes to beginners. From that perspective, the message is misleading. But the idea itself is still valid if you know what you’re doing.

[f8shift @f8shift]

@dontbsalti @THouseTraders A live account is a different story. The real advantage is multiplying the same trade across multiple funded accounts.

[f8shift @f8shift]

@dontbsalti @THouseTraders The key factor is the account multiplier. That’s an attractive ROI if your consistency is actually real.

Today I lost @Topstep 6K challenge and five evals. I got my daily bias wrong and let my emotions take over. The weather is nice and the grass is still green.

@DodgysDD Ryan, money clearly matters. It just stops being the point after a certain level.

[f8shift @f8shift]

@ESTJUL1977 @Jainadave_ 10000% agree!

[f8shift @f8shift]

@aw_trades_ Same. Not sure why people go wild with a hundred screens just to trade a few instruments. What’s the edge here?

[f8shift @f8shift]

@DodgysDD Good work, Ryan! Been watching your progress over the years. Keep going, you’re doing the right things.

@stefanytrades @Topstep @F4r4hM0 This is amazing Stefany!

My experience with Tumi backpacks has been mixed. Generally, they’re overpriced for the functionality they provide. But for a one-time purchase like this, I wouldn’t tie it to a specific net worth. If you can comfortably afford it and want one, buy it.

There are better alternatives on the market though. My current choice is Black Ember. I own two versions of their Citadel backpack and love them.

@DaceusVision @dhesi_trades That’s quite interesting. I appreciate the explanation.

[f8shift @f8shift]

@BowTiedYukon My quads are depressed after seeing this

[f8shift @f8shift]

@DVSGains I’m stuck there too. Any idea what to do?
