It never ceases to amaze me how people are always over leveraged at market tops. Seeing traders on my timeline who are down 30-50% on their portfolio in a single day. If you don’t learn how to protect the downside.. It’s not a matter of IF, but WHEN you get carried out in a body bag… Theres a graveyard full of traders that only learned about risk of ruin after they’re already lowering the casket. Don’t be that person. 🥀

I’m a big advocate for putting all your energy into the largest stream of income you currently have. Way too many retail traders are making a below average salary and putting their small amount of disposable income into a trading account hoping to flip it into vast wealth. All the while dumping all of their time into something that isn’t paying them. You’d be better off buying lotto tickets. Go start a business, climb your industry, pick up a side hustle. Trade on the side, and don’t put SO much energy into it. When the income from trading surpasses your main income, then and only then can you think of quitting.

Seems dicey 📉 @JadeCapFX

The second part of AMS is Market Selection. It's how I find the one market that's going to move the most that day. Once I've found it, I ignore everything else. Most traders do the opposite and spread their attention across whatever happens to be moving on their screen. Claudete is 62 and runs thirteen retail stores in Brazil. She'd been watching markets since 2011 and never collected, because she was getting too many concepts from too many voices. What finally worked for her was one system, watched over and over until it made sense. You can find bits of market selection talked about all over the place, but you'll only ever get pieces that way. On October 4th I'm putting it next to Account Management and the third part so you can see how they connect. I've shown you two parts now, and the third one comes next. The full assembly only happens in the room on October 4th, and the seat's here if you want it: start.tradingapprentice.com/…

The first part of AMS is Account Management. Most people skip it because it isn't exciting. Every prop firm has rules around drawdown, sizing, and payout requirements. I build my whole approach around those rules so they work for me instead of against me. A student of mine, Ryan, started in 2024 without ever having placed a trade. Along with sticking to one system on our morning calls, the thing that turned it around for him was dropping his size. From January to July of 2026 he collected around $50,000 in payouts. About $28,000 of that came in July alone. On October 4th, I'll walk through exactly how I handle drawdown, sizing, and payouts as part of the record attempt. This is only the first of three parts, and it doesn't do much without the other two. I'm going for the record either way, and the people in the room will get this part in full. If that's you, it's here: start.tradingapprentice.com/…

Bit of a hanging man pattern on NQ quarterly. It would've been ideal to get a bullish close but imo not very good for upside until we get a retracement. @JadeCapFX
