@Fearless_Trades nice, never over unless you quit 👍

3 A+ losses today, just one of those days...

See you tomorrow

[chyp @traderchyp]

wow, how did this fail

[chyp @traderchyp]

Feeling divided on whether I should jump into the startup space and the 'real world' or to keep pursuing 'internet money'.

It's funny - if you ask someone working at a tech startup, they would find any form of internet money (trading, ecom, info, HTS, etc.) as laughable and impossible.

On the other hand if you ask a prop firm trader who sells courses about working for someone else, they'd probably be disgusted at the thought.

What you see is all there is.

This post might be too niche, since I've never really seen anyone talk about both sides before, but would love to chat with anyone who has experience in both. DMs open.

Nvm, if trade is about to hit SL, just screenshot again and it will reverse back toward TP.

Try this out for yourself, 100% winrate highly recommend. (NFA)👍

[chyp @traderchyp]

never screenshot before TP is hit 😭

[chyp @traderchyp]

hot take: being locked in only feels good if you start seeing results

it takes a different type of grit to be locked in for extended periods of time with no results. purely fuelled by delusion and hope that one day it'll be worth it.

Recovered from the loss on the funded and got the winning day. Could have set a higher TP but didn't love how ES YM were moving. Almost passed another eval and left the other one alone... Maybe I stop being a pussy and just copy trade them all.

[chyp @traderchyp]

Fastest loss I've had in a while on my funded and evals. Usually don't trade the same session after a loss, but this was too clean so to reduce I only re-entered on one of my evals.

Trying to get better at managing risk across multiple accounts instead of just copy trading them all for now. Think this approach will be better psychologically as I gradually scale up.

If anyone has any advice on how to scale sensibly lmk (not interested in constantly gambling 5 stacks)

[chyp @traderchyp]

my family doesn't know I day trade

so it's hard explaining my rationale behind my investments in stocks and crypto

recently sold my chip stocks right before they all dropped -30%, and I couldn't explain to them that there was major bearish SMT and MSS with clear gaps to fill below...

I just shrugged and said "the news"

[chyp @traderchyp]

Good start to the month. Choosing to scale slowly and think more long-term, rather than trying to rush under the excuse of "I'm on a hot streak".

Let's see if my first 5-fig trading month will be possible by EOY.

@jcfunded1 @TopOneFutures @TradingLucid Half a mil in 17 days, no course selling, transparent expenses... Inspirational 👏

[chyp @traderchyp]

engaged with ONE post about options and started getting so many posts of people flipping $100 to 5-6 figures in a single trade like it's nothing 😭

ts has to be larp but I don't know enough about options to disprove it

[chyp @traderchyp]

Already secured the winning day for funded and half-passed one eval in LDN, so came into this session with a fresh eval which is now basically half-passed.

Slowly and steadily building some momentum. Tempted to risk more on the funded, but no need to rush. My time is coming.

[chyp @traderchyp]

Trying to think more long term.

A part of me thinks that I'm finally doing all the right things, and everything feels like it's coming together.

So I want to rush, and get to 5 figure days ASAP.

But there must be a balance between speed and recklessness...

[chyp @traderchyp]

what are you afraid of losing,

if nothing in the world belongs to you?

Sticking to the plan, don't mind that $BTC is retracing into the Monthly BISI.

Wouldn't be thrilled to see sub 2K again on $ETH. Let's see.

Macro factors aren't looking great, but who cares about anything other than TA 🤣 I'm sure an appropriate bullish catalyst will appear.

[chyp @traderchyp]

$BTC $ETH

If this push closes above 87,500 and 2800 we'll be set for another 4 year cycle bull run by EOY

Don't mind if BTC retraces back to Monthly FVG again, but otherwise this SMT is enough to convince me for a solid run

Got in spot ETH @ 2200. Bottom ticked? 🙂

[chyp @traderchyp]

Been building a thorough testing process for systematic edge ideas. Ngl, it's discouraging to see nothing pass it but I guess that's the point. Once something does, I won't be wasting time and money when testing it live.

Gotta keep pushing, and eventually something will fall
