Key moments - [03:54] This is basically freedom at the expense of knowledge that is uncapped. - [06:52] You become the liquidity until you find out... why is it that I see a sell and it turns into a buy? - [10:11] One of the biggest weak points that I had... is how to walk away sooner from a loss. - [12:11] Information overload happens when you try to learn everything instead of finding a simplified system that works for you. - [15:11] My favorite go-to setup is the previous session sweep, one-minute or five-minute break and retest. - [23:32] If your exit is not as tight as your entry, you might not make a dollar. - [28:28] As soon as I saw a hundred and nine thousand, I closed everything. Five minutes after, the market retraced all the way back. - [32:20] If you've bought at least ten to twenty prop firm accounts... you could have just kept on depositing that money into a live account. - [36:42] I pay myself about twenty percent of my gains so that even if I mess up, I still did my part in paying myself. - [43:50] I use a method called hold time psychology... knowing how long the setup usually plays for keeps you from micromanaging.
