$1.8M Total. These 2 Weeks I Took 100 Trades Across 5 Prop Firms. Here's What Worked and What Didn't
Main summary
Key takeaways
Performance / Payouts
Series progress
- Began roughly 2–3 months prior with $1.5M in profit payouts.
- Payouts documented up to $1.7M, and are now at $1.828M, approaching $2M.
Last 2 weeks
- Total payouts: $59,000 over the last 2 weeks (also discussed as $59K for the week).
- Additional breakdown mentioned:
- Another payout after the 7th: $25,700
- Multiple live/pending payouts referenced with approximate amounts: $10.3K, $8K, $7.6K, plus several pending (including “E8”).
Win/loss framing
- Outcomes are often measured as “wins/losses” relative to break-even at 1.5R.
- Claims some days run about 10% above break-even.
Assets / Instruments
- No explicit assets/tickers are named (no stocks, ETFs, crypto, commodities, or tickers).
- Trading is described as price action on a prop-firm “index/market” instrument with:
- session times (e.g., Asia / NY / 6PM)
- targets/stops expressed in points
Core Methodology (Fair Price → Mean Reversion)
The approach is presented as a repeatable framework using prop-firm evaluation rules plus consistent profit/stop templates.
Key concepts
Fair price / reference levels
- Uses the 6:00 PM open as a common “fair price” anchor for reversion trades.
- On some days, the fair reference shifts to one of the following:
- Asian session open (especially when the 6PM open is not representative due to immediate direction/structure)
- Pre-news price (notably after skipping CPI-related trades)
- A post-tweet/news consolidation level as the new fair value
- A weekend gap concept, treating weekend price changes as a “fair value” signal
Bias + mean reversion
- A higher timeframe bias determines whether he looks for longs or shorts.
- Trades are generally structured to revert back toward the chosen fair price level.
Entry triggers
- Displacement candle entries
- Used when price moves strongly away from fair price and/or after a large wick/rejection.
- Break of structure entries
- Preferred confirmation entries.
- Emphasis: avoid entering with displacement when it’s “too early” and structure confirmation is available.
Profit target / risk templates (prop-firm rules)
Common TP/SL pairs (points)
- 38 points TP / 25 points SL (described as 1 to 1.5 RR)
- 19 points TP / 12.5 points SL (used when edge is smaller, often when there’s only ~15 points advantage)
- Mentions scaled sizing logic such as:
- 25/38
- 50/76 style regimes
Size adjustment rule (threshold near 25 points)
- If the opening candle size is > 25 points:
- scale to a larger target/stop regime (e.g., “50/76” mentioned).
- If opening candle size is < 25 points:
- use the smaller regime (e.g., 38/25 or 19/12.5).
Evaluation vs funded consistency caveat
- Notes that evaluation accounts have consistency rules, so he avoids overshooting or taking too much profit too quickly on evals.
- Implies different optimization depending on whether it’s evals vs funded vs live.
Daily / Session Execution Logic
Avoidance rules (events)
- Explicitly: “I’m not taking any trades of the CPI.”
CPI/news handling
- Uses reversion toward the pre-news price as the reference fair level.
Session-based approach
- 6 PM open
- Often tied to a gap + reversion framework:
- If opening candle indicates direction and there’s a gap, he may take continuation early, then revert back toward the open.
- Often tied to a gap + reversion framework:
- Asian open
- Often becomes the new fair value when 6PM is offset by immediate movement.
- NY open (9:30)
- Treated as a cutoff/time boundary:
- He frequently says he is “done after 9:30” (or “technically done at 9:30”).
- Treated as a cutoff/time boundary:
Framework distilled (step-by-step)
- Identify fair price anchor (6PM / Asian open / pre-news / post-news consolidation / weekend gap reference).
- Determine bias (long/short) from higher timeframe direction.
- Wait for entry confirmation:
- Prefer break of structure over early displacement when structure confirmation exists.
- Use displacement when structure is absent or already aligned with reversion potential.
- Choose target/stop sizing:
- If edge is small (~15 points): 19 TP / 12.5 SL
- If edge is sufficient in a ~38 environment: 38 TP / 25 SL (1 to 1.5 RR)
- If opening impulse is large (>25 points): scale up (e.g., 50/76 concept while maintaining ~1.5 RR logic)
- Manage eval/funded differences:
- Avoid eval patterns that violate consistency constraints (he repeatedly references not wanting to “win too much” too quickly on evals).
- Time discipline:
- Often stops entering around 11:00 for many accounts.
- Some session logic ends the day around 9:30.
Key Numbers & Thresholds
Targets (TP) and stops (SL)
- 38 TP / 25 SL (1–1.5R template)
- 19 TP / 12.5 SL (for ~15 points edge conditions)
- Larger scaled variants mentioned: 50/76 and 76.50/50
Edge threshold
- If price moves more than ~15 points away from fair price, he sends a reversion trade.
Trade frequency
- Mentions aiming for ~10 trades in the AM, and possibly 20 trades across a day.
- Also critiques others for being too aggressive.
Explicit Recommendations / Cautions
- Do not trade CPI
- Skip entries during CPI; use mean reversion to pre-news price instead.
- Avoid early displacement entries when break-of-structure is available
- Argument: entering a few points early is unnecessary if waiting for stronger confirmation still captures sufficient points.
- Do not break sizing rules
- If there isn’t enough edge (e.g., not ~15 points), don’t take the trade with the smaller template.
- Avoid discretionary profit targets on prop firms
- Profit rules require optimized profit targets for EV, not discretionary market-based targets.
Disclosures / Disclaimers
- The provided subtitles do not explicitly include a “not financial advice” statement.
- Mentorship-related disclosure/conditions:
- Mentions a link in the description indicates mentorship is “open”; if there is no link, it’s not open.
- Emphasizes viewers should use their own discretion.
- Mentions aggressive behavior is driven by his own multi-account scaling.
Presenters / Sources
- No external sources or other presenters are mentioned in the subtitles.
- The speaker is the sole presenter.
