This is confusing, we are in end of Nov 2024 and the futures of Feb has the highest volume. I guess we have to trade GCG5 now.

My friend got asked to do an interview as well. He got screwed two months back for being in deep drawdown on a trade. Went and started a new account, and got asked to do an interview for the payout. I've stopped trading with them completely.

{quote} If I talk about my last 2 trades that I recently taken. 1 trade ends in BE after reversing from 1:2 RR 2nd trades end in SL after reversing from 1:2 RR & When I see your trades your trades are like 5:1 RR You taking profit so quick, few pips with heavy lot, risking too big I am not saying right or wrong, its all about the way we trade! But you may not hurt that much than a person whose profitable trades reversed.
I am not sure where you getting the 5:1 RR logic on my trades otherwise i would have been denied by all these firms and hittlng daily loss limit each trade. I have a hard stop at 2:1 n even then close early when its apprarent they are going to hit my stoploss and usually my a+ setups wont even go in drawdown except the gold crash 2 days back in asia. For eg today gold longs went in minute drawdown and straight path to tp which is 4 points on gold which in eyes not a small target. I have fixed ratio for contract size based on the instrument and drawdown. For eg for gold every 1500 drawdown equivalent to 1 mini where as nasdaq 2500 drawdown to 1 mini. You’re forgetting in futures we dont have luxury to hold overnight heck even need to close 1 hour before the day end. So going for monster targets are impossible.
I shared the stats… i am circling the actually stats which will clear your doubts. Maths says nearly 1:1 RR on my trading style...
Also point to remember on my screenshots to check the time candle time as well they are different in each in screenshot....

I have learnt and improved my gold strategy alot. Now the style should be not to try to pick the high or bottom instead let it reverse first or then eat during the momentum.. Thats the lovely thing about futures where there is momentum it'll go straight up n down no nonsense candles.....

Yep i have that number already calculated for each firm based on consistency. For tradeify - not more 1800 a day aiming for 9k profits and for ticktick not more than 1650 as aiming for 8k profits.....

I am trying to maintain less than 0.5 % earnings out of 150k account.

The DLL ( 3.5 k ) really helps in building Threshold.

No, I have now stopped learning new things. I am not strategy hopping now. I don't want to compete with anyone or to learn someone's style.
I am taking it as a challenge to be disciplined and follow my trading plan without any rule break for the next 1 complete year.
Even if it will give me losing trades I will not care, I will just stay disciplined and stick to just single strategy.
I will take 2025 year as a year full of trading discipline. No money-goals. No profit-goals.

i am not against selling courses heck why not. This notion if you’re profitable why u need to do this is completely wrong… its like a business venture if you have a successful business its doesnot mean you cant open more businesses… i mean.. the best thing he is doing on prop firms and doing actual live trading and his understanding and analysis is top notch personal opinion…
why we call these them fake gurus like mambax bs people because they dont do live trading consistently. Its easy to fake numbers on brokerage accounts by using some nonsense brokers…
the best thing i like about patrick is he just dont talk shit but do it as well.. had a beef with topstep guys and took the challenge and he is now in their top 5 leaderboard in record time…. Milking them hard…. Kudos to him…

Motivator…

“By the early 1980s, Dennis was widely recognized in the trading world as an overwhelming success. He had turned an initial stake of less than $5,000 into more than $100 million. “

if you have the choice between Richard Dennis who will teach you a strategy, that has proven itself over many years ,for free or buying a course ( does it have a complete strategy ?) and figure things out yourself , for $199 from a guy who just started out and maybe had luck on his side , who would you choose ?

I have no opinion about this Patrick, just saw this video, could well be a great trader , time will tell..

Winning % WILL ALWAYS be higher with smaller target/larger stop, opposite with tight stop/larger target.
You need a higher win rate with smaller targets and a much lower win rate with higher target to stop.

PROFESSIONAL TRADERS ABOUT REWARD:RISK RATIO
When you read trading books or listen to interviews with successful traders, you will notice that the majority (if not all) talk extensively about the reward-to-risk ratio and how managing their risk is a vital part of their trading success. Below, we have selected a handful of trading quotes from the best traders, explaining their view of the reward-to-risk ratio.

“You should always be able to find something where you can skew the reward-risk relationship so greatly in your favor that you can take a variety of small investments with great reward-risk opportunities that should give you minimum drawdown pain and maximum upside opportunities.” – Paul Tudor Jones

“It’s not whether you’re right or wrong that’s important, but how much money you make when you’re right and how much you lose when you’re wrong.” – George Soros

“Frankly, I don’t see markets; I see risks, rewards, and money.” – Larry Hite

“It is essential to wait for trades with a good risk-reward ratio. Patience is a virtue for a trader.” – Alexander Elder

“Paul Tudor Jones [had a principle he used to use] called 5:1. […] he knows he’s going to be wrong [sometimes] so if he loses a dollar and has to spend another dollar, spending two to make five, he’s still up $3. He can be wrong four out of five times and still be in great shape.” – Anthony Robbins on Paul Tudor Jones

“The most important thing is money management, money management, money management. Anybody who is successful will tell you the same thing.” – Marty Schwartz

Once again, I'll repeat for the one hundreth billion time........the scammers coming from forex to futures..........DO NOT USE THEM.....it will ruin the futures space the way it ruined the forex space.. The one exception appears to be Matt with MFFU as he is doing futures right......the whole key is getting your profitable traders to live and off of your balance sheet.....it's legit and will keep the firm in business.
