He’s my why. Why don’t I give up this trading journey. Countless of times over the past five years I wanted to give up. But this nugget spark the fire in me to keep going and not give up. Daddy loves you, and I’ll give you the best life I promise! This is all for you and mommy!

Can I be real with y’all? There were so many times I felt trading wasn’t for me. I was tired of losing my hard earned money. I was living off credit cards trying to grind this out. Stressed. Burnt out. All I wanted was a little extra income to spoil my wife, spend more time

This is really embarrassing… SL AFTER, AFTER SL, AFTER SL This is not what I envisioned to start the month. Was so close to going live on this account, and I was too stubborn and kept buying the dip night and this morning. Really blows bad… Not only that I blew 4 150k

Here’s my main Topstep account — “ATM Machine” 💵 Three payouts in, and sitting at $19,334.70 profit for June so far. Yeah… I had one big red day. Almost -$5K in a single session. But the key? I didn’t spiral. I didn’t chase. I didn’t tilt. Instead, I locked in and bounced

TILTING is soo soo dangerous. When I’m in tilt mode, it’s like I don’t give a shit. Not in a good way, it’s really in a bad way. I throw all of my common sense, and logical thinking out the window. I forget how long it takes me to pass a combine, and build a balance. It’s

Another +$5,000 payout locked in. That’s $24,500 this month. I’m just a little nobody in the X world, but I’m here to tell you, you can do this no matter who you are. Working 48 hours a week, juggling a baby, loving on my wife, and still finding time to build this. No fancy

FOREVER THANKFUL 4 PROP FIRMS Even though this is 5k net monthly, I was still struggling to afford to live off of for a family of three. I was drowning in credit card debt slowly but surely each and every month. Emergency fund was slowly draining away. Unable to take

+$5,000 via Topstep +$3,000 via Tradeify $48.5K for the month of July. Not bad for a random dude on X grinding between ER shifts — 48 hrs/week, trading off my phone. To my lovers and my haters, don’t stop BELIEVIN’. This can be you too. If I can do it anyone can. $ES $NQ

I GOT COOKED, AND SCHOOLED TODAY No words besides poor risk management, and straight up tilt. Blew all but one XFAs, and blew prob 8-10 combines if I am being honest. Also, some of my S2Fs. Will have to play defensive and focus on preserving my cash in this payout drought
