the secret to surviving as an algo trader:

run multiple uncorrelated strategies. size based on your worst drawdown, not your best month. never override a signal and be curious.

do this for as long as possible.

thank me later.

@omextrades Definitely bro!

Started the day green with an $18k payout potentially secured…overconfidence and greed got the better of me and ended the day awfully red 😩 💔 accounts are in ICU but tomorrows a new day 🙃

[Sham @shamtrdr]

Probably the best trade management I've done in a while 👏 Short from the OR down to low of day. Saw sellers struggling and buyers stepping in. Caught the long and scaled out ✅ Think that's me for the day

[Sham @shamtrdr]

But here I am, still placed a trade in London now sitting in the red 🙂

[Sham @shamtrdr]

Coded the strategy I’ve been trading recently over the weekend for a thorough backtest. Turns out most of my losses come from pre-market open 🤔 That explains why most of my days start red then switch back to green during US.

It’s a mean reversion strategy with negative RR so the winrate is quite high. if I trade from London open my winrate is 66%, if I trade only US winrate jumps to 87%.

@omextrades 🙏🏾🙌🏾

Nice day on the Apex funded accounts, hopefully can request a payout next week! 🙏

[Sham @shamtrdr]

And thats a WRAP! 🍻Have a great weekend folks!

NQ Short to start the day! Was targeting VWAP but ES was refusing to break 6,965 area so i closed early and luckily i did

[Sham @shamtrdr]

Base hits on the Apex funded accounts👌, Still taking it easy as its the beginning of the year!

[Sham @shamtrdr]

Another green day in the books ✅
Requested an $800 last night on a single Apex that is out of sync with the rest - Approved in under 24 hrs 🍻
Think I'm done for the week, time to relax and spend time with the family for Christmas 🎄

[Sham @shamtrdr]

Base hits again on the @ApexTradeFund funded accounts. I actually used the Ninja Trader app for the first time today as I was out Christmas shopping when my signal triggered, really impressed, smooth UI 👏 Finished the day green and the trades paid for the Gifts! 😅

[Sham @shamtrdr]

Had a solid week on the Apex accounts! Base hits gets the job done. Let's see what we can extract from this week 🧐

[Sham @shamtrdr]

Weekly Results on my 50K PAs📈 76% win rate | $1,600+ profit.
Not luck.
Not guessing.
Just process + discipline, base hits every single day.
On to the next. 🚀

[Sham @shamtrdr]

Happy Thanksgiving! 🥂 Base hit and done for the day.

[Sham @shamtrdr]

Decent day, on Apex accounts today, to the short down then scalped longs on VWAP break

[Sham @shamtrdr]

Overall a solid month ✅ even with today absolutely wrecking me 😅 Biggest red day in a while, that chop today was hell! but that’s trading.
Finished September green, so we move.
👉 Roll on October! 📈🔥

When I started trading, I thought the hardest part would be finding the perfect strategy. Turns out, the hardest part was handling myself.

The doubt after losses, the frustration of missing moves, the temptation to tilt - that’s what really tests you.

If you’re new and it feels impossible right now, that’s normal. Everyone goes through it.

You’re not broken, you’re just learning.

The market humbles you before it rewards you. And the ones who make it aren’t the ones who never lose - they’re the ones who learn how to lose, reset, and keep showing up.

So if you’re struggling, remember this: it’s not supposed to be easy. But if you can stick through the hard part, the discipline you build will change more than your PnL.

It’ll change you.

Sometimes I zoom out and realize how crazy this all is.

We sit behind screens, staring at candles and numbers, trying to manage risk and our own psychology in real time.

And somehow, this skill can buy freedom, security, and literally change our entire life.

But it’s easy to forget that on red days. It’s too easy to spiral into self-doubt and become overwhelmed with the “what ifs” and shoulda woulda coulda.

“If only I sized smaller”

“If only I waited 10 more seconds”

“If only I sized heavier”

“What if I just took that trade”

What keeps me going is remembering: it’s not about one day, or one trade, or even one month.

It’s about stacking tiny edges over time until the curve bends in your favor.

Most people quit before they ever see that bend.

The ones who don’t… get to live lives most can’t imagine.

That perspective is what keeps me steady - the understanding that the big picture is worth the daily battles.

We can do this, I believe in myself and all of you ❤️
