Most trade journals act like you have one account. If you trade prop firms you have a dozen: evals, funded, live, and a few you blew up last month. So I built a journal for NinjaTrader 8 around that. It's free. Thread:

Why are the Dems goto go after the Republicans? Don’t they have an actual job to do? Imagine if you got paid to go after your coworkers during work hours. US politics is an absolute circus. Anyone voted into office needs to be working their tail off for the American people.

My kid wanted to watch margin call last night. How timely.

This was yesterday. Was he just gas lighting to exit out of his own shares? What a fumble.

I don’t know why I waited so long to get a 3D printer, but I got one last week and I’ve been printing 24/7. I didn’t realize how useful and fun these were.

No trades today. Went surfing instead.

What’s your go to cash back business card? Mine has been the Capital One Spark Card. The 2% cash back has been paying for a nice Christmas every year for the past 5 years.

I remimber listening to a Painting the Tape episode with @thetastowe42 @LeoTheTiger @ajtradinglucid about keeping our internal degen monster reigned in so you don't blow up but you need to give him a little bit of leash or you won't make much money. I think about that quite a bit and often struggle with finding the right balance. Am I alone here?

I've learned from so many traders over the years but these are the ones that provided the major bricks to support the discressionary system I trade today. @Rizzo_Trades @merrittblack @toriotrades @FuturesTrader71 @traderdrysdale @TomHougaard

Be careful. Seeing lots of furus coming out to say how bad Lanto to imply they are not as bad only to redirect you to use their code, join their groups, gain new followers, etc. While they might be worthy of a follow be cautious if you weren’t already. Take extra measures to vet everyone.

Optimized the Financial Juice Reskin with faster AI insights and better overall performance. In my opinion it’s a must have tool if you subscribe to their service. It’s free so why not try it out. Also, let me know if there’s a way it can be improved. chromewebstore.google.com/de…

Good on Vest for banning Lanto after the Account 819 slip. If the low-spend screenshots and code SMART hype influenced you, report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov — hiding real costs while promoting big payouts can violate FTC Section 5 and the Endorsement Guides. Time to start showing these scammers they need to stop scamming.

Any Auction Market Theory futures traders here interested in trading live together daily? My trading buddy is no longer available, and I’m looking for like-minded traders to join me. Maybe brainstorm or build some trading tools when the market’s slow.

Didn’t follow my rules well today but somehow I’m basically flat and all accounts survived.

Just added a 10k Vest account and passed it in a few days. Slippage is not great so I used limits 80% of the time. Had to run a neg R:R and trimmed along the way. Once I pay for the account I'll scale up and see how it goes. There are lots of pros and cons to these accounts but if I can have a positive ROI I will live with the cons.

I remember when my son was learning to ride a bike. That was 17 years ago. This is him now ripping 150 mph around Charlotte Motor Speedway in a race truck. Love seeing my kids growing up and living life.

Feedback from a happy journal user. I originally built it for me and didn't know if others would like it as much as I do so It's nice to hear others are enjoying it as well.
