After nearly 4 years of trading, I have learned some valuable lessons - both technically and psychologically. Here is a thread of the lessons that made me a better trader and taught me about myself in a way that I am extremely thankful for 🧵 1.) Comparison is the thief of joy - being on social media has its perks, but it can be greatly damaging to your mindset. Always compete with YOURSELF. Dont let those supposedly making 5 figures a day make you feel bad about any profit you make. $100 a day is an extra 25k pre tax

I passed a $50k funded evaluation account (that I only paid $37 for), and documented every single trade with annotated images and live videos. I used a heavily tested system (100s of trades) that I developed myself several months ago. This thread This thread shows it all ⬇️ Day 1: I wanted to ease into things. I took 2 trades based on the SMT system -> the first being a 3 con long off of a breakout above supply zone + resistance accompanied by an SMT buy signal. $262.50 on this trade. The second trade will be in the next tweet

Here is a complete thread explaining my every day trading setup and what I look for. I will explain all of the tools I use 1 by 1, building from the ground up (adding onto a naked chart). We will be using the $SPY 5m chart and taking a look at Thursday's price action. The first thing I will be adding to my chart is my "SPY Key Levels" script. This provides me with 54 automatically plotted key levels that I can use to help guide my trades. The key levels are clearly marked in blue - you can already see how well price action respected them.

This 15 part thread is a complete guide on how to effectively use the SMT indicator to scalp $SPY with high accuracy. This algorithm was designed to detect ideal entries based on trend reversals containing 3 pieces of confirmation. It has also proven effective on other securities Let's begin by understanding the function of the indicator itself. As traders, we never want to chase. We want to get in early and get out early - but we don't want to get in TOP early and have our trade reverse on us. This is why the SMT indicator was created - to optimize entry

Below is a thread containing some thoroughly annotated A and A+ setups I have taken over the last few months. Max sizing is 10% of port on A setups and 20% on A+. I have defined an "A" setup as containing 3-4 pieces of conviction, and A+ as containing 5+. All setups are on $SPY All setups are on the 5 minute time frame. My favorite pieces of conviction are the following:

- 9/21 ema crossovers
- Breaks of key levels (high/low of PM and prev day)
- Breaks of key (50 and 61.8) fib levels
- Engulfing candle breakouts on volume
- Pattern Confirmation (1/2)
