Liking the sticktoitivness. You’re getting better.

The best advice I ever got was from a smart friend who wasn't even a trader. I showed him a trade I made and said "It was good but I could of made much more if I held it" and he just plainly said "Yeah but it's irrelevant because you didn't know" like it was obvious. Even though it's so simple, now every time I miss out out on a bigger move I just remind myself it's irrelevant because I didn't know that in the moment. Being upset about missing even bigger profits can lead to revenge trading because you feel like you should have what you missed out on.

Then I realized nobody knows where the market is going, and I should only be taking my ideas because then I can have conviction to hold. The rest is market experience, when you wake up every single morning looking at the charts you develop a sense of intuition, now I trade on pure auto pilot from all those hours well over 5000+ hours of chart staring by now, and focus on a few strategies, learned risk management in order to keep the gains, because ultimately trading is about how much of the gains you keep, not whether you're right or wrong.

As a European who is a fulltime trader i notice a common thing among alot of american traders who trade Nasdaq, S&P and the like , risk management. It always best to risk the same amount per trade instead of having variable losses. For example being risking $100 dollars every trade so you're keeping losses the same and targeting a fixed risk/reward so that if you're edge is working that you will be profitable in the long term and the bigger losses wont be holding you back, instead of having sometimes 3 or 400 hundred dollar losses.

great video man. appreciate the transparency. and also getting to witness your progress. feels like you’re right there. stick with it and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. you got this!

You're doing great! Not giving up after all these years is key. I struggle with impatience and exiting trades prematurely as well, for me it helps if I enter a trade, set my stops and just ignore the trade until it closes, staring at it as it goes adds a lot of suspense and anxiety.

Daniel I have just started to learn trading and am already many many hours deep into studying into the fundamentals of trading. You have been a great help with your honesty and also your calm personality in your videos. You have been a great resource for myself and many others I would say. Keep the videos flowing and I will keep watching you. Thank you !

Dude, your trading has LEVELED up! We're basically adapting at similar rates, using similar tools (Bookmap, etc...), and have roughly the same general strategy (targeting supply/demand zones). This was a major inspiration and got me seriously considering TopStep (and similar programs). Well done. I've recently switched over to ES as well; seems to respond to lvls more reliably than NQ/MNQ. Lastly, don't beat yourself up - Late Dec thru mid Jan were ABSOLUTELY brutal as far as weak volume, market reaction to economic reports, etc. Please try again soon. P.S. I can't speak for you, but constantly adjusting your SL to allow for more drawdown makes me cringe, personally. The more consistent my stops are, the better my entries get over time.. swear to God. Sometimes I stop out and reinter instantly if levels are still looking good; usually I'm able to spot where the original entry mistake was made (even if it was off by just 2pts tops).

Hi Daniel, just recently found your channel and im loving it! I really respect that you are so transparent. On a totally unrelated note, you have a great voice, its very soothing. You could probably make good $$ narrating stories for people with anxiety, no joke. I have it, and have found myself just listening to your videos when I need a calming distraction from my overactive mind. Something to consider? Regardless, thanks much for all your doing on your channel. Wishing you great success and happiness.

love the dedication you're putting into becoming a better trader

What a great video. Amazing editing and patience while recording this. Max respect. You motivate me.

Great video as always, you make us feel the pain going through all if this, thanks for sharing your journey to be funded

Two things stand out for me in analyzing your performance: #1 When your first trade is a loss, your day tends to get worse. When your first trade is a win, your day tends to continue to improve, peaking around your 2nd/3rd win. Might try stopping day if first trade is a loss, or after 2-3 trades if first trade is a win. #2 you put a lot of pressure on your self in missing home run trades, but you never make any home run trades so that doesn't seem to be your strength, so just focus on small-medium base hits as your strength. Centralize around your strengths and expand on them. Those 300-400 dollar plays see if you can expand those to get 400-500 out if context allows. Those 100-200 dollar plays, try expanding those out to 200-300 if context allows. I think the combination of these two points could see your stats move towards your winning days being 2:1 your losing days which will create a healthier, consistent pnl curve. Great job!

Hey man I respect the Grind and Im glad to see the improvement! Best of luck getting funded!

Great video dude, love seeing you in the TBM stream chat too. I used to and still do struggle with the stop-loss taps that take you out at b/e right before the trade goes your way but something that really helped was learning to set my stops at points of invalidation (ie. when the trade clearly was no longer following my thesis) & not touching them (I know, way easier said than done). Korbs has a great video somewhere on his channel going over the entire psyche concept of "being afraid of losing money" and that's why its so mentally satisfying to set the stop at b/e but in the long term all that does is ruin your r/r.

Love these videos, cant wait to the next one. Good luck Daniel!

Very Nice Daniel. That's a huge improvement over your previous trading videos. When you started with Day 1 I thought you weren't going to do any better, but the days following that were a huge improvement. It's inspiring to see as I'm consistently working to try to understand this game out better. One thing that I've felt with stop losses, is I don't put in automatic stop losses - somehow I feel that the algo's see those sitting there waiting and they intentionally hit them to stop out retail traders. I continually monitor my position and manually close the trade at as the trade turns against my original thesis or against the indicators I'm using. Maybe it would help to not get stopped out and then watch it continue in your favor had you still been in. Keep up the great work. I've been watching you guys for years from Mango Street.

The thing about these Funded Challenges is that we are not trying to get this big account to trade and then suddenly make a lot of money. The expectations need to be realistic and the goal needs to be thought through a little more for most people. The goal of working for a Funded Company like TopStep is to use their money to make a business out of your trading. If you pass the challenge, suddenly you have enough money to maybe consider trading full time. Longevity in the markets is the goal. Making enough money to maybe pay for your food for the month or some bills you have to pay, and then gradually making more as you get more experience. Most people lose these challenges and in trading in general because they want to get rich quick and their emotions take over their trading. The goal is not to pass the challenge for the Prop Firm, but to last in the markets for many years to come.

Keep at it man! I found with my trading that clearly defining how I wanted to enter, exit and trail my stop was extremely helpful for dealing with uncertainty. Scaling out 25%-75% of the position on a target order and trailing a stop beyond swings on the remainder will allow you to both lock in profit and catch the bigger market trends move. Make sure the current swing has sufficiently tested the prior extreme before trailing your stop to that level, lest you be stopped out on a two legged pullback just before a continuation. Happy trading!

7 year trader here: can tell you been putting in work to learn man. good shit. keep pushing

Great video man, one thing I will say which I will say is follow your plan to a tee, yes that may sound easier said that done however towards the end of 2022 how I dealt with trading emotions is, my plan is black and white, my plan does not have trading emotions written in it, it is a if then process > if i see this then i do this, then i do this etc..... my plan does not have anything based on emotion. So if my plan is tested and I have data to back up my edge then check the boxes and dot the i's. It is as simple as that. Constant reminders that my plan does not have emotions helps me. What I would also suggest which may help is review your trades taken on the challenge where you actively managed them and log how did they play out if you had no management at all. Another emotional trigger "i closed here because i didnt like this", it may be in your plan to do so but if it is not then you shouldn't. It can be beneficial to see if your management is actually hindering your performance. I suggest this be done over a years worth of trades taken rather than a handful to get a clear indication

Day trading is so subtly intense that I was getting nervous watching. I've failed one or two Topstep combines and can relate with everything you said! When I get some more time I can't wait to try again.

Hey Daniel, noticed you haven't posted here in a while. I come back to this video every now and again. One thing I've personally picked up since I first saw this video and something I think might help you as well (especially trading ES) is to enter a trade with multiple contracts and scale half off at say 2pts, that way you can move your stop to 2pts on the remainder of the trade and it's risk free while also giving you breathing room around your entry. Love the videos and looking forward to the next post!

Here is a small advice, I suffer from aniexty disorder, and while trading this was a big wall that I couldn't cross for years, my solution to it was building a base for my strategies, where everything is drawn to me by the movements of the market and my trades are the same everytime, trading 2-3 strategies and getting 1-3 trades a day, if you want we can meet up in a call and I can show you what I'm talking about

Maybe a weird compliment, but I find your videos so cozy and soothing for some reason. Might be the editing or your laid-back style🤙🏻

One of the main issues with this strategy is the amount of size he has on. 2 ES minis is $100 per point move, you have only $2,000 to work with before failing the account. That gives you only 20 points of being wrong. If he was trading micros, then he could scale some out & let the others run. He could even add onto the position, if price comes back to his entry area. I would recommend Apex Trading since they give you a $2,500 drawdown & have 80% off sales. They recently did a 90% off New Years sale, meaning a 50k eval account only costed $18, along with a 1 time payment for their Performance Accounts. Again this is just advice for those struggling to pass these eval accounts.

@DanielInskeep

yeah, i agree that i was over-leveraged.

Try having the 1st contract take profit the same distance as the stop. Say your stop is 3 points then 1st scale is 3 points. That way you are risk neutral and don't have to move your stop to break even. IF scaled you will make $0 on the trade if market comes back to your stop. Ideally your stop location would be out of the noise and your runner target is far enough away to make it worthwhile. Take stats on your trades to see how often you take a full stop/Scaled then stopped/Scaled + target hit. By becoming risk neutral you can allow it to work and it easy on your mental. Good Luck!

you become better, good job, you will make it soon

That's crazy mate! your setup looks very cosy

Great video Daniel. It took me a little while to pass step 1 but worth the patience and time spent learning. During step 1 I would cut the risk in half trading 5 micros until I reached $150-$180 and then switch to minis and only risk what I made. It took longer but it got me through. Good luck and looking forward to the next video.

You should try other firms like FTMO, MFF / MyForexFunds, and TFT / TrueFundedTalent. I really don't recommend going with TopStep because their business plan is made to make you fail. Read their contracts. Also, on TopStep you need to pass the accounts 3 times and the third challenge is where they typically "fund" you but really they don't because they don't mention that it is mandatory to make 5% with a deadline that they don't also mention and then you get the real account.

Hey Daniel! I can relate to this video so much. I've been trading for 2 years, luckily I have a dayjob that gives me the freedom to trade all day. But it's the hardest thing I've ever learned and the mental battle is the real background. I'm still not profitable, but getting better and better. I've also started to trade futures the last 8 months with APEX, but I have lost way more than I passed. I've only passed twice so far and each time loss the PA account the next day.

Great video and thanks for sharing. You need to stick to your trading rules. Looking at the P/L whilst in a trade is a big mistake. Another big mistake is to worry that your stop is going to get hit which leads us on to proper position sizing. With a plan in place you don't need to worry yourself about P/L because the real win comes from sticking to your trading rules. Losses are part of trading. When you stick to your own trading rules the overall P/L is just the outcome of those rules. The rules comes from the gut and the deep learning and back-testing. Going against the rules is gambling and that is why you will be plagued with emotions. Keep going. You'll get there :-)

^this right here.

thanks for taking on the gurus, and balancing the universe

Just partially close your position after you hit a 1 :1 risk reward. The other half can go and do its thing, while you already have half of it in profits. Keep making great videos and good luck with future endeavours!

Very good video!I love it!Keep it up!

so crazy, i recognize some of those trades you made haha you got this daniel.

Love this brotha keep it up 📈

It is exactly like you said with demo and real account if there is something at stake your emotions come and fck you up... But I can see a big improvment in your trading so keep the grind!

Keep working on your edge or finding your edge in the market. Funded account might help you some with risk management, good luck!

Nice to see that you are improving in trading!

Really good video, just wanted to say that it’s not the best moment to trade around Christmas and new year. It can maybe explain why the price action wasn’t at his best. Personally starting again the 16th January. Best of luck 🤝🏻🔥
