@TradingLucid Daily accounts are pointless when there's a max acc payout cap anyway, you're basically just getting a flex account but with the flexibility of daily payout schedule but an intraday drawdown.

📊 Crude Oil 4-Hour Update

The Crude Oil AME setup we shared with our Empire students during the live market calls has played.

Price completed the accumulation, manipulation and expansion sequence and profits were secured at the expansion breakout targets upper resistance level.

Price then retraced to backtest the point of breakout, we then mapped out the upper targets following the retest. Price has since reached our projected Target 1 at $78.07, and is now testing a major resistance cluster around $78–$80.

At the moment, both Volume Delta and UMF are showing significant bearish divergence, with Delta also sitting below its midrange. This suggests momentum is weakening despite price continuing to push higher.

We could now see a short-term pullback toward the $75.50 area before continuation. If buyers defend this region and establish it as support, the broader bullish structure remains intact for another push toward new highs.

Target 1: $78.07 — Hit

Target 2: $85.08 — In focus

Another setup shared live with our students that continues to track well. Now it is about remaining patient and waiting for the next confirmation.

Not financial advice. Always manage risk and wait for confirmation.

ADA Update 📈

I shared this setup with our Empire students during Monday’s live Market Scan over zoom.

Price pulled back briefly and reached our targeted entry level, swept the liquidity below support, and started pushing higher with strength.

So far, the setup is tracking exactly as planned. The focus now is on continued follow-through and confirmation of the higher low.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝟲𝟬 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀

Markets finally found some footing this week after a volatile run.

U.S. equities finished in the green, with the Nasdaq up 𝟬.𝟵𝟬%, the S&P 500 up 𝟬.𝟲𝟵%, and the Dow closing slightly higher at 𝟬.𝟰𝟳%.

Tech helped lead the rebound, but the bigger story was the shift in rate expectations.

The new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, came out swinging with a much more hawkish tone than markets expected.

Forward guidance was basically thrown out the window, and the focus is now firmly back on the 𝟮% 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁.

Markets reacted fast.

Rate cut expectations were aggressively repriced, and investors are now even pricing in the possibility of a rate hike by October.

𝗢𝗶𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿.

WTI and Brent both dropped hard, falling more than 𝟭𝟭% in June, following a 𝟭𝟳% drop in May.

The U.S.-Iran framework peace deal has helped traffic through the Strait of Hormuz start to normalise, removing a large chunk of the geopolitical risk premium from oil prices.

𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝘆𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽𝗹𝘆.

Short-term yields spiked after the Fed’s hawkish pivot, while the 30-year yield dropped as markets started pricing in tighter policy now potentially crushing inflation later.

The 10-year yield finished around 𝟰.𝟱𝟵𝟱%.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 ���𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺��𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸.

DXY hit a five-week high as the hawkish Fed repricing pushed the dollar higher, putting pressure on both the Euro and the Pound.

The Yen remains in a dangerous spot.

Even after the Bank of Japan hiked rates to 𝟭.𝟬𝟬%, the Yen still failed to rally.

The yield gap with the U.S. is still too wide, leaving USD/JPY near 𝟭𝟲𝟭.𝟯𝟭 and keeping intervention risk extremely high.

𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗔𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱

Next week, all eyes are on inflation.

The main focus will be 𝗨.𝗦. 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 on Thursday U.S. time, which lands around:

• 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟲 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲
• 𝟭𝟮:𝟯𝟬𝗮𝗺 𝗡𝗭𝗦𝗧

That will give markets a better idea of whether the Fed’s hawkish shift is justified.

We also have key 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗣𝗠𝗜 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 from Europe and the U.S.

Big week ahead.

Another day, another funded account eval passed ✅

For this one, I intentionally went with an intraday drawdown account instead of EOD.

EOD drawdown is almost always the better option but I wanted to use this account specifically to test scalp strategy execution under stricter risk management.

With intraday drawdown you don’t get as much room to be messy. You have to manage trades tighter, protect open profit, and be more precise with entries and exits.

Happy with the pass. Now the focus shifts to managing the account properly and working towards payouts to fund further evals.

On to the next 💪

@marryevan999 What a load of shit.

@samba_os Awesome!

[𝗥𝗔𝗭 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗥 @RazTraderNZ]

Passing prop firm challenges is not about getting lucky, gambling on high leverage, or trying to flip an account overnight.

It is about treating trading like a business.

Over the past few months, I have made it my goal to secure funding via multiple prop firm accs, so far totaling over $450,000 in prop firm funding by passing multiple challenges, and the biggest lesson has been simple.

The traders who survive are not the ones chasing the biggest wins.

They are the ones who manage risk the best.

Most people approach prop firms with the wrong mindset. They see the account size and instantly think about how much money they could make.

But professional trading starts with a different question.

How do I protect the account first?

Because passing the challenge is only stage one.

The real objective is to build a repeatable system that can be used across multiple funded accounts, so you are not relying on one account, one firm, or one payout to make the model work.

That is where the business mindset comes in.

You are not trying to risk everything on one funded account.

You are trying to scale intelligently across multiple funded accounts, reduce your personal capital risk, spread your exposure, and create a more sustainable trading operation.

That means focusing on:

-Risk management
-Trade selection
-Drawdown control
-Consistency
-Patience
-Discipline
-A repeatable execution process

Most traders fail because they treat challenges like a casino.

They over leverage.
They over trade.
They revenge trade.
They rush the target.
They ignore the rules.
They breach accounts that could have changed their lives.

My approach is different.

Wait for A+ setups.
Protect downside first.
Respect daily loss limits.
Trade smaller than your ego wants to.
Scale only when the setup justifies it.
Think like a business owner, not a gambler.

These results are not being posted to brag.

I am sharing them because they show what becomes possible when you stop chasing quick wins and start building a real trading framework.

Securing funding is one thing.

Keeping it, scaling it, and turning it into a long-term income model is the real game.

The goal is not just to pass.

The goal is to become the type of trader who can repeatedly pass, protect funded accounts, and scale with discipline.

That is where the real edge is.

The before

[𝗥𝗔𝗭 𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗗𝗘𝗥 @RazTraderNZ]

Most traders wait for structure to confirm.

That is fine. It is safer, cleaner, and for beginners it is often the right approach.

But the biggest opportunities usually start forming *before* the market has fully shown its hand.

Back in December 2024, while BTC was pushing toward new highs and everyone was focused on ATHs, I was already mapping out the 5-wave impulse nearing completion, the corrective Wave A target, and the larger B Wave / expanding flat structure that I believed was beginning to unfold.

At the time, that view went heavily against the grain.

People were telling me the fundamentals were too bullish.
BTC strategic reserve narratives were everywhere.
Structure still looked bullish to most.
And honestly, I understand why people thought that.

But underneath the surface, volume was telling a very different story.

That is why I was vocal about the risk, and why I mapped out the Wave C target around the 63k region well before price started heading there.

I was ridiculed and laughed at for that analysis, when I showed receipts they still claimed "no-one could have known"

But the move played out.

Now we are seeing something very similar again.

Back in November 2025, I mapped out this exact head and shoulders formation before it had properly formed. At the time, it was another unpopular view. Now, the structure has developed almost exactly as expected.

This is not about trying to be louder than everyone else.

It is about understanding that price action, volume, market psychology, and structure all tell a story but most people only listen once the story is already obvious.

My approach is more proactive.

I am not just reacting after the market confirms what has already happened. I am using multiple forms of volume analysis, other technical analysis, and psychology to anticipate where price is likely heading before the majority sees it.

That does not mean every call will be perfect. No trader gets it right every time.

But when the data lines up, I trust the process even when the crowd disagrees.

I do not trade hype.
I do not trade narratives.
I do not trade what people want to be true.

I follow the data.

And the receipts are there. 👇
