Nick

It's Live! Excited for everyone to read and learn. I think the Intro section sets the stage well. Have some fun. Maybe you'll take in some information that will keep you in the game longer. Here's the preview The Absolutely Free* Course How in the hell did we get here? If you told me a few years ago that I would be trading full-time in front of an audience, I would have told you you're insane. I've always been a very private and introverted person, and to this day it's something I'm constantly working on. Sharing my thoughts was never my strength. I was always more comfortable alone and in quiet settings. Back in my old life, a senior leader who I have a ton of respect for said to me: "Nick, you're the smartest guy in the room who never has a fucking thing to say." A decade later I still think about that and have been trying to adjust ever since. Who This Is For If you're trading NQ or ES (or seriously thinking about it) and you're tired of content that either tells you nothing useful or drowns you in concepts that sound smart but don't help you in the moment, this is for you. I'm also going to be honest about something before we go any further, because I think about it every time someone asks me about trading education: this space is genuinely toxic. Not universally (there are good people in it) but the incentive structure is broken. The easiest way to make money in trading isn't to trade. It's to sell courses to people who want to trade. And a lot of people figured that out a long time ago. Two things have always pissed me off more than anything else in the trading world: The first is gatekeeping. Concepts documented for decades: Volume Profile, Market Profile, order flow, the DOM. Repackaged and sold like they're someone's proprietary discovery. They're not. Most of what's in this course you can find for free if you're willing to search for it. I'm not hiding that. Steidlmayer published Market Profile in 1984. Dalton wrote the book on it. The footprint chart has been around forever. None of this is a secret. The second is the performance of complexity. Taking something straightforward and making it sound so complicated, so layered, that it justifies a price tag. That's a sales tactic, not education. If you hear someone tradesplaining an idea, they either don't understand it or they're trying to impress you. Neither one helps you trade better. The real value I've gotten from this world isn't any single concept or framework. It's the people. The mentors who gave me their time and asked for nothing. The trading buddies who've talked me through bad weeks. The community that exists outside the gated Discord servers and the paid rooms. If there's one thing I'd want you to take from this course beyond the technical stuff, it's that. Find your people. The knowledge is the easy part. So that's what this is. No secrets. No gatekeeping. Just what I actually use, explained as clearly as I can manage.

This many people buying $25,000 Mac Studios, Warsh should have raised rates.

If you’re not following @vibestraders on here and everywhere else you’ll never be profitable. Win some lucid accounts.

Gm FOMC day B-Book traders.

Room confirm?

My costume is the laziest/best one

Okay hear me out, he cooked here, and you should check out ifvg.ai to learn orderflow.

About $7K was sitting open. Most came off, then two runners came back. That part sucks. The trade was still an example of sticking to the system. Leave runners or close it all?

Good Morning. October prop spend: $0 October prop payouts: $0 Hope this helps 💙

See you all this evening for Sundayticks with @thetastowe42 and @xyzeeetrades - 8pm CT teapawt.net/i/broadcasts/1AJEmvgMZ…

“I want to trail this thing as close as possible because they're going to bounce at some point. Maybe they'll get it later, but I don't want to stick around for it.” @xyzeeetrades

Since prop twitter is in the same loop again and again and continue to follow morons off the cliff, maybe this is some alpha that will help someone do better in their job or day to day. Learn new shit people. Grow as a person. Adapt to this shit because it’s accelerating quicker than you fucking think, bubble or not. I’ve pretty much used everything, cycle through different ones. Open weight local models like GLM and Deepseek are closing the gap on frontier models from Anthropic and openai. When you figure out that the average non enterprise user of those companies gets an extremely shitty quanitized model of Claude or codex day to day the gap is even smaller. I have found my best workflows exist when fable orchestrates on a subscription and then my local agents from deepseek, qwen and GLM do the work. Deepseek is honestly the best version of local I’ve used thus far. The average person doesn’t have the hardware I’ve acquired over the last 5+ years and can’t be expected to acquire hardware required to run local models of these sizes on a single computer. My hope is in a year or two the average person has the ability to host a great model on average consumed hardware. Until then though it’s hard to get good outputs and api path with some of the smaller labs is the way, free models through more open harness apps, and maybe 1 frontier subscription. Hope this helps 💙

Buying is still strong. That is not the time to front-run a short because you're afraid of missing it. Wait for buyers to stall, then decide.

Sellers drove price down, then lost all their effort and couldn't hold the spot. Price started accepting higher prices. At that point, the read had to flip. @xyzeeetrades
