NQ - I don’t predict — I react ⏱️

[ThatOneIndianTradeKid @thatoneindiantk]

2.5 years.
200+ blown prop accounts.
6 years in the markets.
Today I received my first payout: $990.
It’s not about the money.
I’ve spent way more than this in challenges, resets, and mistakes.

But this is the first time the market paid me for being disciplined — not for gambling.

I used to treat prop firms like a casino.
CFD firms and Futures firms. Over leveraging. Revenge trading. Random entries.
Zero structure.
I wasn’t trading.
I was emotional.

It took 2.5 years to build a system that doesn’t depend on how I “feel” that day.

This $990 isn’t life-changing.
But it proves something bigger:
I can follow a process.
Respect to @TradingLucid for honouring payouts.

This is payout #1.
Now we build consistency.

Day 204 — Trade Review 📈 | NY Session

Context

🔹 NY session opened around the NDOG
🔹 London sell side liquidity untapped
🔹 Daily trading at the iFVG (either respect or fill)
🔹 4H bullish
🔹 15m ETH bullish
🔹 15m RTH initially bullish, then shifted bearish after the open

Execution

AM Session

🔹 Expected the Daily iFVG to hold and price to move higher
🔹 Took an initial long but stayed cautious
🔹 Price failed to respect the 15m void and bearish FVGs formed
🔹 This confirmed the market was targeting the London sell side liquidity
🔹 Flipped bias and recovered the first loss
🔹 Took another trade but exited at breakeven even though it later played out

PM Session

🔹 Looking for shorts as the 1H FVG was being tapped
🔹 Entered after the structure break but got stopped out
🔹 Bias remained bearish
🔹 Price reversed from the 1H FVG and moved lower as expected
🔹 Exited the final trade with a small profit when price failed to respect the bearish FVG. It was high resistance trade.

Result: Green day ✅

[ThatOneIndianTradeKid @thatoneindiantk]

Same Bias. Took the trade in the PM session last hr macro. Price went to fill the 1 hr void and then rejection to the sell side.

Context

🔹 NY session opened above the NDOG
🔹 London sell side liquidity untapped
🔹 Daily bouncing from the Daily gap
🔹 4H bullish
🔹 15m ETH bearish pre-market
🔹 15m RTH turned bullish after the gap up

🔹 Market did not deliver that scenario
🔹 Stayed attached to the idea
🔹 Took a loss and started overtrading
🔹 Damaged multiple accounts trying to force the narrative

PM Session

🔹 Identified that price was rejecting from the 15m FVG
🔹 Read was that lows needed to be taken before a bullish expansion
🔹 Price delivered exactly that move
🔹 Recovered most of the AM losses
🔹 Then increased size trying to accelerate the recovery
🔹 One mistake put the account back into drawdown
🔹 Lost one funded account

Result: Red day ❌

Day 199 — Trade Review 📉 | NY Session

Context

🔹 NY session opened above the NDOG
🔹 London buyside and Asian sellside liquidity untapped
🔹 Daily bearish and targeting the Daily gap below
🔹 4H bearish
🔹 15m ETH bullish pre-market
🔹 15m RTH bearish, despite the gap up after the open

Execution

AM Session

🔹 Expected a fill into the 4H area and then a move lower
🔹 Price swept buyside liquidity and reversed as anticipated
🔹 First entered long because the external OB was taken out
🔹 Thought price could continue toward the London highs
🔹 Once the 1m OB was broken, bearish continuation became clear
🔹 Flipped short and followed the move lower

PM Session

🔹 Looking for lunch highs to be taken before a move lower
🔹 Price repeated the same manipulation pattern
🔹 Swept external highs and then reversed

🔹 Took buys initially and got stopped out
🔹 Quickly recognized the shift and reversed to shorts
🔹 Recovered part of the losses on the downside move

Result: Green in AM session/ Slight red in PM / near breakeven day ⚠️

Key Mistake 🧠
🔹 Still too quick to assume continuation after liquidity sweeps
🔹 Short-side entries need more refinement and patience

Day 198 — Trade Review 📉 | NY Session

Context

🔹 NY session opened around the NDOG
🔹 Asian sellside liquidity untapped
🔹 Daily and 4H rejecting from the OB
🔹 15m ETH bearish
🔹 15m RTH bullish initially, then turned bearish after the open

🔹 After the 10:30 candle close, the bearish narrative became clearer
🔹 Stayed attached to the idea of higher prices
🔹 Went on tilt and overtraded the AM account.

PM Session

🔹 Still focused on the 1H FVG above being filled before a move lower
🔹 Market continued showing signs of wanting to fill the Daily gap below
🔹 Misread several trades because of that bullish expectation

🔹 Eventually recognized the Daily gap draw
🔹 Took a few scalps in the correct direction
🔹 Recovered a good portion of the PM losses and finished with a manageable loss

Result: Red day for both PM and AM❌

Context

🔹 NY session opened above the NWOG
🔹 London buyside and Asian sellside liquidity untapped
🔹 Daily pushing toward the Daily VOID
🔹 4H bullish
🔹 15m ETH bullish
🔹 15m RTH bearish initially, then turned bullish after the gap higher

Execution

AM Session

🔹 London highs were taken and price entered the Daily void
🔹 Looking for longs after a 15m FVG fill
🔹 Entered after the sweep, before the 1m CISD confirmation
🔹 Took partial profits and moved stop to breakeven
🔹 Got taken out at breakeven
🔹 Price later swept again and continued higher
🔹 Still looking for buys but never got the entry I wanted, so stayed out

PM Session

🔹 Main targets were either lunch highs or the 1H FVG below
🔹 15m structure kept breaking higher, but the 1m kept invalidating those moves
🔹 Read that as weakness and a sign price wanted the 1H FVG fill
🔹 Started taking shorts

🔹 Market was extremely choppy
🔹 Multiple positions ended at breakeven
🔹 Good session for observation and journaling despite limited profit

Result: Small green / breakeven day ✅

🔹 Market became very choppy
🔹 Continued taking entries from OB retracements after structure breaks
🔹 The setups kept failing because price was respecting bearish FVGs and moving lower

Result: Red PM session ❌
Green AM session

🔹 Entered from the OB and took a quick scalp to the buyside
🔹 Was not confident about a move to the Asian highs, so exited once daily target was reached
🔹 Price later reversed and took the data lows, but I was already done

🔹 Closed early as price was showing weakness and I didn't want the trade turning into breakeven

PM Session

Context

🔹 NY session opened below the NDOG
🔹 London buyside liquidity untapped
🔹 Daily bullish
🔹 4H bearish
🔹 15m ETH bearish
🔹 15m RTH bearish

Execution

🔹 Looking for London buyside liquidity to be taken and the overall gap to fill
🔹 The AM setup I wanted never formed
🔹 Stayed out of the morning session

PM Session

🔹 Price took out the London highs and filled the gap
🔹 Main idea was the 1H Highs to be taken and then reversal to the sell side and 1 hr FVG fill.
🔹 Lost control of execution and took unnecessary trades before the setup completed
🔹 Around the 3:30 PM 1H candle opened, price swept the highs and then reversed lower to fill the FVG. This is the same footprint we saw yesterday afternoon as well.
🔹 This was the exact trade I had been waiting for all day
🔹 Took the trade and recovered a large portion of the losses but still because of my previous mistake its still a red day.

Result: Red day ❌

🔹 4H bullish
🔹 15m ETH bearish
🔹 15m RTH bullish

Execution
🔹 Price took out the 8:15 data highs after the open

🔹 Waited for a retracement to short
🔹 Missed the internal bullish shift
🔹 Stayed focused on shorts and took a loss

Result: Red day ❌

Key Mistake 🧠

🔹 Missed the internal structure shift. I even saw when it happened and said if I was bullish this was my entry but I got too attached to the short bias and had a loss.

Went above my loss limit today. I have to work on this.

4H bullish
15m ETH bearish
15m RTH bullish
Execution

First move:

Price swept the London lows after the open

Started looking for buys afterward

Took a short

Got stopped out

Second trade:

Recognized the short thesis was invalid

Entered long from the OB
Targeted the recent highs

Result: Green day ✅

[ThatOneIndianTradeKid @thatoneindiantk]

No payouts in April after my first payout in March.

Tried scaling too quickly, lost a few accounts, and realized my execution wasn't ready for it.

Went back to trading a single account and focused purely on execution.

May was a much better month and resulted in another payout from @Tradeify .

Still not perfect:

• One -$1,200 day (3x normal risk)
• One overtrading day that ended green but was still poor execution

A winning trade can still be a mistake if the execution wasn't there. It may not cost you today, but eventually the market will collect the bill.

The goal isn't bigger payouts right now. The goal is better execution. The payouts will follow.

Day 188 — Trade Review 📈 | NY Session

Context

Daily bullish

4H bullish
15m ETH bearish
15m RTH bullish
Price tapped the OB during NY session
Execution

First trade:

Took the wrong read on price action. I did not read the close properly.

Entered and got stopped out
After the loss:

Took shorts targeting the OB

Recovered part of the loss
Execution on the break → retracement → OB entry was good
What actually happened:

Price respected the OB

No strong bearish candle closes
Market was setting up for a move higher
The correct trade was the long from the OB
Result: Small loss / partial recovery ⚠️

I should have entered but that first loss affected me and then I did not feel like taking it as it was monday and there no surety that it will move up there. If this was wednesday or thursday I would entered longs.
