here’s some constructive criticism from an actual professional trader:
Regarding the combine -

Aside from finding my edges, my biggest breakthrough in my trading was creating a daily loss limit. Eliminating blow up days literally saved my career. The way to calculate it is averaging last 5 winning days. Only other person I heard talk about this is

The wider stop you use, the less skill you have. Sorry but it’s just the way it is. Some of the best futures traders in the world will cut a huge position if it goes two ticks against them. If you’re right in the trade it should immediately be going in the right direction

Your next post should be about how you’re dangerously close to committing fraud. Real prop firms don’t have you make $200+ for 5 days before you can withdraw…. Literally makes 0 sense. You want traders to fail not succeed

I get that I really do. I think scaling in is always okay but I was taught from day 1 to never add to a loser. It was a rule. If you didn’t follow that rule you were gone.

I hate to break it to people but volume plays no role in trading whatsoever. You’re trying to solve the problem from a random irrelevant point. All volume shows is what was bought or sold there at some point. Be more linear in your problem solving.

Celebrate others success don’t piss on it because you aren’t on their level. That is a losers mentality.

Quick memo to all the PnL posting traders out there:
FUCKIN STOP IT!
By all means post entries and exits of a winning trade, and explain your mechanics, that is indeed helpful

In the 10+ years of being on Twitter this is easily one of the best ideas put out there on a silver platter. Took a massive trade using this today. Easy as they come folks.
I want to add this isn’t just about shorting the index.
This opens up the beta trade.
Pick the most extended stocks that show even better odds and stack it on top of the positive odds on $SPY.
You’ll get the natural movement of $SPY baked into the price and natural panic on

There will never be a time where you should be trading with more than one contract/share if you don’t have a proven edge. Never. Never more than that till you dial in what you’re doing. Once I found my edge I went from 1 to 10 to 20 in a few weeks.
