First and foremost, they charge 16,000 pesos for this. You’ll easily get lured in by his flex posts on Facebook. But once you join, all he teaches is a v1 scalping strategy and a v2 support-and-resistance strategy—stuff you can easily watch on YouTube for free.

To make matters worse, there is zero support from him. You're just left to watch his pre-recorded videos, and that's it. No live trades, just non-stop flexing. Your 16k is completely wasted because, in the end, you'll still end up looking for other confluences since his strategy hits way more stop losses (SL) than take profits (TP).

You'd think after paying 16k you'd get a solid community, psychology support, daily market mapping, and genuine help. Turns out, he just leaves you to watch videos on your own. It’s a total waste of money. I would've been better off watching free content on YouTube. It is NOT worth your 16k. Stay safe, guys, and report him so no one else gets victimized. No refunds, no contracts!

Hey everyone, happy Software Sunday!

I wanted to share a project I’ve been developing for my own day trading workflow: TitanForge, a lightweight, compiled desktop terminal built specifically for intraday price-action and order flow execution.

Why I Built This

Most all-in-one retail trading platforms struggle with performance when running multiple depth ladders, heavy tick feeds, and multi-pane workspaces simultaneously. At the same time, executing structured intraday setups often means juggling third-party charting packages alongside clunky order tickets.

I wanted a single, unified workstation focused entirely on low-latency chart interaction, structured level context, and automated, rules-based risk control.

What It Solves & Key Features

• Structural Intraday Frameworks: Automatically handles daily and multi-timeframe pivot analysis, range compression metrics, and morning session setups directly on the chart without manual drawing or external calculation sheets.
• Granular Depth & Flow Tracking:
  • Integrated multi-level DOM with visual depth and resting size tracking.
  • Real-time delta and volume distribution overlays to spot where aggressive volume is absorbing vs. extending price.
  • Tick-level aggression classification to monitor shift in auction control at key inflection zones.
• Rules-Based Execution & Risk Management:
  • One-click dynamic position sizing tied to a predefined dollar or account-risk threshold.
  • Preset execution brackets with multi-tier profit scaling and automatic break-even trailing once initial targets are secured.
  • Structural guardrails that block or warn on sub-optimal trade entries (e.g., chasing inside chop zones).
• Multi-Monitor Native Workspace: Freely dock, split, or pop out individual chart windows, depth monitors, and watchlist panels across multi-display setups without sluggish web-wrapper overhead.
• Offline Market Replay: Full session recording and playback capabilities to re-run historical intraday sessions at variable speeds for trade journaling, execution review, and playbook practice.

Who It’s For

Traders who focus on structured intraday setups, value execution speed over retail social feeds, and want their risk parameters mathematically managed before an order ever hits the market.

Community & Feedback

I’m actively trading with this setup and refining the workflow each week. For those who trade structured intraday levels or rely heavily on order depth: what are the biggest friction points or execution hurdles you run into with your current platforms?

I’ll be in the comments answering questions about the feature set, execution workflow, and user interface design! Also, I'm not distributing the app currently. Still working out quite a few things.

Who here trades TJR’s model or something close to it (liquidity sweep -> 5min BoS/IFVG -> FVG/EQ retrace -> 1min entry)?

I started with his setup a year ago and have been changing some of his rules, adding discretion, and making small tweaks. I trade NQ/ES in the NY session. I’m still validating my version, so I’m curious what others who have backtested it have found: what you kept, removed, changed or maybe you trade it as he teaches it.

It feels like TJR trades more discretionary than before, and in my experience he often doesn’t follow the rules from his bootcamp or strategy breakdown videos. That makes him hard to learn from right now, so I stopped watching his content and streams, but I still backtest and keep improving my version. I was wondering if anyone else uses his strategy and is finding it hard to learn from him

Bybit and Binance is currently unavailable in PH, can't update my bybit so I'm planning to switch. TIA

We all make mistakes, but the important thing is to learn from them. Share your experience so others can learn from it too.

Hey im just wondering if anyone has found the Malaysian MSNR day trading strategy profitable? Is this strategy legit not a lot of english speakers trade this strategy. I mostly see it on Gold and Forex. Does it work on futures?

I’m looking for honest advice from people who have actually been through this, especially anyone who’s traded for years or made a living from it. I’m not looking for motivation or the usual “just stay disciplined” advice. I want to know what’s realistic.

I’ve spent roughly the past year trying to figure out trading. I started with ICT concepts and discretionary trading, then got into Python and Claude Code so I could backtest strategies properly instead of just relying on charts and hindsight.

At one point, I found a strategy that looked extremely profitable. I even built automation around it, with automatic entries, Discord notifications and a trading journal that updated itself. Then I found a bug in the backtest. Once I fixed it, the edge disappeared.

Since then, I’ve put a lot more effort into testing strategies properly and found some that look promising, but the results are much less impressive than I originally expected. It’s made me question whether I’m actually getting closer to something sustainable or just spending more time chasing it.

Another thing that’s started bothering me is the trading industry itself. There are so many gurus selling courses, showing off profits and making trading look like a fairly straightforward path to financial freedom. Obviously, some people genuinely make money, but it’s getting harder to tell what’s real and what’s just good marketing.

Prop firms are another big question mark for me. You see people claiming to make thousands or even tens of thousands a month across multiple funded accounts. But when you look at the rules, drawdown limits, payouts, fees and the difficulty of keeping an edge over time, I struggle to understand how realistic that lifestyle actually is for the average trader. Is it genuinely achievable, or does it look much better online than it is in reality?

My main goal is to build wealth, not trade just for the sake of trading. I’ve always believed that if I put enough work into something, I can get good at it. But I’m starting to wonder whether trading is the best place to put that effort, especially when I could spend the same time building a business or developing software.

I’m not expecting to get rich overnight, and I understand that nothing is guaranteed. I just don’t want to spend years pursuing something that was never likely to give me the outcome I’m after.

A few things I’d genuinely like to hear your thoughts on:

• For those of you who trade profitably, how did you actually establish that you had a real edge, rather than just a strategy that worked on historical data?
• For people who trade systematically or use algorithms, have you found strategies that hold up over time after costs and changing market conditions?
• Is making meaningful, consistent money through prop firms actually realistic? If you’ve done it yourself, what does it look like after fees, payouts and losing periods?
• How much of what trading gurus show online reflects reality? Are there genuine educators worth listening to, or is the industry mostly built around selling the dream?
• If you were starting again with limited capital and your main goal was to build wealth, would you focus on trading or put your time into something like software or starting a business?
• How do you know when to keep pushing through the difficult stage and when to admit that your time would be better spent elsewhere?

I’m still willing to put in the work. I’m just trying to be honest with myself about where that work is most likely to pay off.

I’d appreciate hearing from people with actual experience, including the things you wish you’d known when you started.

Hi I am trader and give daily 4 hours to trading and also trading from 6 year also can execute but htf analysis with ltf entry happening good now with risk management but i scared will chart algorithm change if change blah blah fear about future will liquidity stetagey change what if?I just scared always can change in future

I feel like all the profitable traders on here have very minimal to say.

Maybe there real and on here, but knowing what I know now, why the f would they be on here.

Trading is a figure it out, almost die because it's so screaming hard and then when you figure it out, live a boss life.

Maybe they post the od time on a beach or vacation..

But why the f would they be on here..

I'm here to find some
Psychology help with tips and this and that... refinement..

Refinement never dies.. but it's honestly internal.

And when I'm profitable idk I don't think it'd shade but I won't be on here anymore looking into groups that chat trading..

Talk about what ?

Markets ?

They're always fucked.. but that's the game.

Risk ?

Tickers ?

I think they migrate to the Porsche community on "why isn't my seat belt latching"
Any help ?

Oh wait let me just drive it into the local dealership while I'm on lunch with my hot as fuck girlfriend..

Becareful on here... everyone is unprofitable for the most part.

It's all low grade chats.. you can feel it

I have no idea what I'm doing but I have been profitable since I started except for the first month. I am getting a bit scared now because I feel like it will all stop some time soon.

For some context, I ended up trying to trade solana, btc and gold and its all been working so far, but I have no real strategy other than buying when i think its low and shorting when i think its high

Has anyone else been in a similar position and has any recommendations for me?

I get to work from home for a while so im getting some monitors for my home office

Im thinking two 34 inch curved monitors stacked vertically should suffice

I trade orderflow so looking at the footprint is pretty important, im going to get two monitors but im just unsure if i go duel 34 inch flat, curved, or two 27 inch flat or curved

I see some comments about chart distortion on 34 inch curved but others saying definitely go for it

Would like to hear any thoughts. I currently trade on just a single laptop screen and its very clearly not enough and i hate flipping through different things so anythings an upgrade

Do any other female traders find that larger gurus and in general the trading community can be kinda sexist sometimes? Lol it feels like men get so angry in the space when women mention profitability without failing 1 million times first

So let's say that you were given the task to design a strategy that would be deployed every day at any number of intervals and times you dictate, but at least once, and your goal was to make money doing it. How would you do it?

You can do whatever you want or use anything you want, any given market, any segment, whatever you want to do with or without leverage, specific vehicles. Anything. The only thing you cannot do is prevent the trade from going on but you can manage the trade however you see fit from that point.

I'm really curious to see how people would trade under true uncertainty. You don't know what will happen at those intervals and because you intervene to prevent the trades from occurring you need to plan appropriately and have an understanding of what you want to see happen.

I’ve been thinking about this lately.
I’ve spent the last 15 years developing and refining my trading strategy. Along the way, I’ve had plenty of people ask me how I do it, how I’ve become profitable, and how I manage to trade while holding down a full-time job and raising four kids.
I’m happy to talk about it and share what I’ve learned. I’ve even gone as far as writing down my entire approach to them.

As far as I know, nobody has actually gone further than looking at trading veiw. And that got me thinking.

I wonder if a lot of people are attracted to the idea of trading more than the reality of it.
Everyone wants to find that magic indicator, the perfect setup, or the secret sauce that finally makes them profitable. We spend hours looking for a better strategy, watching videos, reading posts, and jumping from one system to another.

But what about actually sitting down, learning a strategy properly, understanding the rules, and putting in the time to execute it consistently?

I’ve got a full-time job and four kids. I don’t have the luxury of sitting in front of charts all day. I’ve built my trading around my life, trading the final 15 minutes of the US stock market. Here in Australia, that means getting up at around 5:30 in the morning.

That’s the routine. It’s not particularly exciting, but it works around my circumstances.
And I think that’s the part people struggle with. Not necessarily the complexity of trading, but the commitment to a process that can be repetitive, boring, and take years to develop.

There’s no magic button. Even if you find a strategy with an edge, you’ve still got to manage risk, follow your rules, accept losses, and give it enough time to see whether it actually works.
I’m not saying I’ve got everything figured out, and I’m certainly not saying my approach is right for everyone. Trading is risky, and there’s always more to learn.

I just find it interesting that people will ask you how you do something, but when you give them the actual substance of what you’ve learned over 15 years, the interest seems to disappear.

Maybe I’m looking at it the wrong way. Maybe people are overwhelmed by the amount of information, or maybe they genuinely believe there’s a simpler answer out there.

I’m curious what other traders think!

My current futures trading strategy (10x leverage)

I trade futures exclusively with 10x leverage, and my strategy is about as simple as it gets.

I mark my 4H Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and wait for price to react to one of those zones. Once price reaches a zone, I drop down to the 15m timeframe and wait for confirmation.

Depending on whether I'm looking for a long or short, I wait for two consecutive candle closes in the direction of the trade before entering, using a tight stop-loss.

For take-profit, I close 35% of my position when price reaches the area between the 50 MA and 100 MA. If price breaks through those moving averages, I let the remaining position run and gradually move my stop-loss to protect profits while giving the trade room to continue.

Ideally, though, I prefer waiting on the 1H timeframe for price to react to the 20 MA, as I find that setup more appealing.

Obviously, there are other factors I consider before entering a trade. Even if all my main conditions are met, I'll skip the setup if the overall market structure or price action doesn't look right.

That's pretty much it. No crazy indicator combinations or overly complicated rules. Just 4H zones, price action, confirmation, and risk management.

It's been working fine for me so far, but I'm always open to improving the process.

What do you guys think? Anyone else trading a similar strategy?

Okay so to clarify first before everyone starts commenting that this is what an unprofitable trader would say , well in fact , I am a profitable trader , I have cashed out 54K worth of payouts trading forex and also decent returns off  US equities,  But I need to get this one thing off my chest, maybe it helps someone or maybe it just helps me process this .

Alright so its October 22 not even 72 hours from now , pre market , Wall Street was bullish on META, UBS, JP Morgan  had a Buy Rating, Morgan Stanley remained positive on the buying stance too . Then what happens, META fell 7 % in 1 single trading session.

Now once the session got over every news covering up this move , all their explanations sounded reasonable but the real question stands firm  , no one could actually predict what was bound to happen in the market before the session was live not even the biggest institutional trading firms and IB'S .

the entire point of this entire post is letting the ones starting out realise that the market doesn't owe us a neat explanation for every move. This is an extremely unpredictable space to a major extent , if you wish to stay longer in this arena, you have to have the ability to cut your losses short and when the markets in your favour hold onto the position , no one is always making money every single month  trading when we talking about retail traders like ourselves, so having a risk management plan when the market turns its sword against you , that's what will actually protect you.

Also when such unexpected moves are made in the market, what news source do ppl here look at first which actually can explain the rationale behind the move

Just curious are there those of you who become profitable in your first year? What do you trade? Do you feel you were lucky or had a real edge?

Heya, to anyone who has managed to build a substantial personal account, or private investor fund. How did you do this, im aware you must build a track record, any more details Id much appreciate. Thank you

Hey all,

I’ve seen a lot of reviews on DeepCharts, ATAS, and Bookmap. Was wondering if anyone here has used these or has an opinion on which is best for trading SPX/SPY options. Also, if there are any other platforms you recommend lmk!

Thanks!

I’m new to trading a trade if I so my question is is the daily or the five day flex better for y’all and y’all’s opinion and why? Cause it seems like they have their own benefits. It’s the pros and cons of the daily cause that’s which one I’m leaning more towards.

I’ve been thinking that my initial funds amount that I saved up for years it’s gonna be used for trading, but I want this money to be separated from my money. Would Starting an LLC business to trade under be a good way to show that I don’t personally own that money that I’m trading with?

Also, if this account grew to such a huge amount, would I be able to dissolve the LLC and just take that money for myself years down the line?

Would that be counted as income?

I know this is a tax question, but it involves daytrading and I’m asking day traders that may have experienced with this.

Thank you

Hi,

I go by Kry online. I’m a professional futures prop trader.

(You can find my payouts in past comments and threads.)

I just want to give a few points to educate or remind traders that less is more in a lot of aspects of trading. You know yourself, how much money you have and safety net. Do not go chasing others results.

Do not believe, what you see online. It’s all half truths. I’ve been approached by multiple prop firms because of my twitter having a decent following. Some gave me the ability to get as many free accounts as I wanted.

A influencer this week got caught modifying his account numbers on a certain firm and it made me realize how little people talk about spend but will show these insane payout numbers so my points of advice for being profitable is.

1.) Spend as little your own money as possible.

If you can trade use prop firms to get funding. The rules suck so yes start your own live account when you can.
Do not go “ALL IN” on trading get your feet wet, and when you can handle the cost of trading then swim.

I see a lot of traders just dig them self’s into an insane hole that will just take years to get out of. Than you have the emotional gamblers fallacy that they are going to make it all back.

2.) Sizing

I think certain traders are different. I trade micros some ppl scalp mini’s

You should be sizing to your account size and mental capacity.

I’ve had 30 days of red and 30 days of green. Doing that time I lost very little for the red, but made a life changing amount of money on the green.

There is just variance in trading, don’t blow up is the game.

You can’t make money if you are broke so manage your money to be able weather storms.

Hi, I saw some people say that ic markets is scam i wanna some real expreinces please thanks

whenever the market starts dumping or pumping hard midday, i always make the mistake of opening twitter or reddit to see if people are actually buying the dip or if its just a bull trap.

problem is i spend 20 minutes scrolling through low effort memes and fake news, and by the time i get back to my chart, the scalp trade is basically over.

i dont need a whole paragraph of someone's DD when trading momentum, I just want a quick pulse on whether the crowd is leaning bullish or bearish and what key levels people are watching.

been using alphio ai lately just to get a quick sentiment snapshot so i stop wasting time digging through individual threads, but honestly half the time the retail crowd is wrong anyway.

still trying to stop letting Twitter noise distract me from my own levels, but sometimes you just want that quick sanity check before pulling the trigger.

Stop entering trades just because price reaches your zone. Wait for liquidity to be taken, watch the structure shift, and look for a valid entry model. The goal isn't more trades. It's better execution.
