Hi there. Thanks for asking. Things have been going very well. Still trading pretty much the same system with some minor adjustments. I moved more away from Crude since it doesn't seem to have the same
volatility it used to. I mainly trade NQ now, since it provides way more opportunities. The problem though is that it can be very dangerous to trade with a relatively small stop..unless you have the right market conditions and you are very precise with your entries.
I usually use a 20 tick stop and about a 20 tick target. These targets are very easy to reach..Sometimes I even get 40 tick targets.
I pretty much only trade 1 setup these days since it is the one I have had the most consistency with. A while back, a good friend of mine since I was a kid, asked me to trade his account and split profits. That arrangement has been working out very well and has made things much less stressful to me, since I am not risking my savings and stuff like that.
I will try to post some videos of trades again if anyone feels it would be of use.
Thanks for saying hi.
I've been following your thread for almost 2 years now, as a lurker, but was definitely a follower. Would appreciate your videos. Your thread shows clear journey through lows and highs and the transparency you show has been an inspiration for struggling traders.
Whenever you can or would like to post, I for one would definitely appreciate it.
Thanks for showing everything throughout the years. Great motivation during the tough times.
