$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

Finance

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.
  • 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”).

Framework distilled (step-by-step)

  1. Identify fair price anchor (6PM / Asian open / pre-news / post-news consolidation / weekend gap reference).
  2. Determine bias (long/short) from higher timeframe direction.
  3. 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.
  4. 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)
  5. Manage eval/funded differences:
    • Avoid eval patterns that violate consistency constraints (he repeatedly references not wanting to “win too much” too quickly on evals).
  6. 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.
