The hardest part of trading isn't actually trading.
Its waiting on the sidelines for probable conditions while the market moves.
These past few days have been extremely hard for me in terms of sitting on the sidelines but I know my ruleset is made for things like this.
Trust the process, don't get overconfident and trade in low probability.
Its only a day or two and we get on it and start hammering in trades and making money.
A lot of people in my life ask me to teach them to trade.
I have a simple test.
I tell them to watch a set of videos I made for beginners, and reach out to me when they finish it.
No one to this day has ever finished the videos and come to me.
They lack the drive or purpose to learn how to trade.
They just see me make money and assume its easy.
The second real work is required they fuck off.
Don't be like them.
Put in the work this weekend.
Trade Review 11/8/24: https://www.loom.com/share/e26f5151dfab481381eeb045f7dd8f9e?sid=5fe52113-c28d-4f54-9b05-93d79476e457
Watch it, study it, learn it.
Im super selective on fridays so be careful.
We are trading all time highs and its friday, we could see profit taking today so just be on your toes.
IF i take a trade I will let you guys know but I may or may not.
Took one trade so far today and it was a loss.
-3 points.
Waiting for FOMC to take another trade if I do take one.
Will keep everyone updated.
Took profits here!
Alerted and traded the downside.
Sent a picture instead of typing out alert.
Up +$1200 on the day calling it a day.
Discord price raised and closed to public.
Congrats to everyone who was able to join.
Now we won't open until 2025.
Back to normal scheduled programming posting alerts in here for you all ❤️
Also thinking of hosting a webinar for just the telegram folks....
And for those are going to message me saying "I can't pay $37"
Then you shouldn't be trading if $37 investment in yourself is make your break.
If you want to take this serious, and you've seen the results ive brought people over the past 3 years, then its a no brainer.
$37 to even make you better by 1% is worth it.
If you can't do that, thats on you brotha.
To those who join, congrats.
So far not seeing much.
Switching brokers so waiting on them to verify me so I can take trades on it.
Might take all day for that to happen so im just sitting on my hands for now.
For those new here:
- I mainly trade NQ using prop firms.
The propfirm I recommend is MFFU and I recommend the 50k expert account which you can get here: https://myfundedfutures.com/?ref=508
Use code "Shinobi" for a discount^
I get the tradovate account and link it to tradingview to execute orders.
I don't trade No news Monday's and I use ForexFactory.com to see what days we have news.
I don't trade Fridays.
I live trade with my discord and share my screen to show when I buy and when I sell.
Access to discord is closed for now.
I also help teach people 1 on 1 but there is an application process where we vet the students before we allow them to join.
I don't take on many students.
You can apply here: https://academy.smartmoneyframework.com/
I post alerts in the telegram and trade recaps.
These vary throughout the week depending on news events, but I mainly take trades after 10am est and am done trading before noon.
On some occassions I will trade from 1pm-2pm.
Here is how I alert 👇
Ex.
"I am long NQ @ 19,223.50 with stop loss at 19,220,25 targeting 19,250,75"
Along with this I will post a chart showing the visual stop loss and target.
NQ= the nasdaq
For options, its QQQ
For Forex, its us100
Entry: 19223.50
Stop: 19220.25
Target: 19,250.75
Along with a chart pic.
I don't use any indicators, and if you want to copy my trading layout, you can here: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/QO7GLEDG/
If you can't join the mentorship or the discord, I provide a lot of free information on my youtube: ShinobiSignals" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@ShinobiSignals
If you ever have questions about trading or anything, you can always reach out to me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shinobisignals/
I get a lot of messages everyday, but I try my best to get back to all of them.
And if you had questions about when the discord opens, I open it at random and only open 10 spots at a time so make sure you have notifications ON for the telegram.
Glad to have you all in here, hope you all find value.
Lets bank.
Up 70 ticks here.
I repositioned in MNQ instead of NQ because my size was too heavy on NQ
This is what I have to deal with.
People paying thousands of dollars to take me down.
Then people trying to extort me daily.
They don't realize I don't need instagram to make money.
I don't need anyone to make money.
I make money through the markets.
These gimmicks might work on someone else, not me.
Reminder tomorrow is a bank holiday and the bond market will be closed causing bad price action.
Take a three day weekend and lets regroup on tuesday.
You can try these shorts with me
Risking my profits on this one, wider stop than usual but can pay big if we see selling into the weekend.
A+ setup apart from the fact that we are at all time highs.
Be careful.
Entry: 21213
Stop: 21236.25
TP:21156.5
Just caught this move with the discord.
Moved too fast so I wasn't able to alert it here.
Look at that timing for the entry.
Trade Review from the trade we took and alerted today 👇
Breakdown of my thought process and why I entered: https://www.loom.com/share/835faa1ba122451fb399f24fb5b47c47?sid=4d088c65-4131-4320-b0d9-aa540c8f2a80
Don’t take live trades this week until Wednesday.
With elections tomorrow things will be crazy the day before and the day of.
Let the market react and then use the volatility to make money.
Trade evals, paper trade, and use these days to backetest.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT.
Closing discord for 2024 and raising prices in 2025.
Last chance ever to join at $37 instead of $150
Here is the link to join: https://whop.com/shinobi-signals
Only opening 100 spots, once they fill, we close down for remainder of 2024 and all new members will have to join at the higher price in 2025.
If you join at $37, your price will stay at $37.
Haven't been too active because im having major broker issues with them not letting me withdraw my money.
Will keep you guys updated, and Ill be back to being active as soon as its fixed.
This is why I don't like to trade no news mondays.
We have been moving sideways for 4 hours...
Today was not the best trading day.
No news mondays.
Im banning trading No news Mondays and Fridays permanently.
Every single time I trade them its because I want to put something out so you guys don't feel like im just being lazy but in reality it messes up the week for me usually.
Not blaming anyone or anything, just letting it be known that those are my rules for my trading.
Will be posting and pinning what my rules are so you guys understand if im trading that day or not.
