Correction: I referenced @TradersPost when I meant @TradersPostInc. roy loudermilk has been unresponsive to the many requests we've made for the acquisition of his X handle.

9/ That's it. Clean, simple, multi-account execution without having to leave TradingView. I can trade multiple instruments like Nasdaq, Gold, Crude, and Bitcoin from the same layout and know that all my positions are managed correctly through @TradersPost.

8/ Once it's time to get out, I wait for a trigger on my exit line and TradersPost closes out my positions in all the accounts at once and gives me back my net P&L for the exit trade.

7/ Execution timing is usually around 1s to 1.5s from TradingView to the broker. Since I'm in trades for roughly 15 minutes or longer, this timing and market slippage is completely manageable. In the previous image, I actually ended up with $0.50 of price improvement for most.

6/ When that buy long line alert crosses and triggers, I get a signal on TradersPost to execute across all 26 of my accounts which are traded in parallel. There is no parent/child relationship. It's all accounts all at once.

5/ Then I create the crossing alert on that line, confirm my JSON message is correct, and configure the alert with my TradersPost webhook URL for my strategy.

4/ When I make each horizontal line, I set up the default message for that line. The buy long message, the sell short message, and the exit message. This way, when I create the alert from the line, the alert message populates with the correct JSON template.

3/ I use horizontal lines on @tradingview, because they have a few useful features for setting my JSON messages for TradersPost and managing one-time alerts when price crosses my lines. I create three lines for my chart: a buy long line, a sell short line, and an exit line.

2/ I trade the charts from @tradingview, typically on the 1m or 5m chart for entries, but my analysis comes from the 2 hour and 1 day chart. VWAP and regression trend channels are very important to me.

1/ Let's set the table: I recommend you look into the rules with the firm you work with to confirm that copy trading or account scaling is allowed. Some support automated trading, most support trade copying or account scaling.

I trade over two dozen futures prop accounts via @TradersPostInc with three different firms that support my approach: @ApexTradeFund, @Topstep, and @Tradeify. Here's a 🧵thread on how I trade, and how I scale my accounts.

You're not a trader, you're a risk manager. Focus on managing risk.

I think many of us struggle to grasp what it means to truly accept the loss. I try to visualize it in advance. If it happens, it happens the way I planned.

It's not enough to take the risk, you must accept and embrace the risk as well. When you fully accept the risk, instead of avoiding the unavoidable, you'll notice a huge difference in your performance.
