ES Price Map (Single Prints, VPOCS, News Drivers,...) Website for ES MES Trading Room (Back Up) TRANSCRIPT: All right, guys, let's talk about this awesome $20 deal on a 250k account at Apex. How would we trade it, being risk-first? So, from their website, this is from their website. Ignore the number of contracts; it literally means nothing. Just consider that the number of ways you can screw yourself—that's what that is. How many possible ways can I screw myself? You want to know that? Look at that number. Otherwise, look at the most important number on here, the only number that really matters. That is the $6,500 drawdown. That's the only number that matters. Everything else is just crap. It's marketing, one-day pass, whatever. It doesn't matter. Forget all that. $6,500 is the only number that matters. So, how would I trade this on an overall, 30,000-foot view? Two trades a day. Two winners, two losers. One winner, one loser. Two trades, you're done. ...

ES Price Map (Single Prints, VPOCS, News Drivers,...) Website for ES MES Trading Room (Back Up) TRANSCRIPT: Welcome to the AM briefing video presented by Microstrader.com, where together we trade. [Music] Good morning! It feels like one of those funky days in the market. DP, one of those tried days where a 100-point candle is entirely possible. Today's quote: "Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things." It doesn't matter what this candle does today; it doesn't matter at all. Be smart, though, and dial it down like you're going to get funky with it. [Music] Oh yeah, look at Papy over there doing the stanky leg. Oh yeah, Jared and Seil just sitting over there all cool. Uh-oh, Jackie doing the worm. Get it, go Jackie, go go Jackie, go. M, uh-oh, Justin getting a little crazy over there. Calm down now, calm down, calm down. All right, woo. M, uh-oh, Caleb, robot man. My traders are getting a little crazy going into the trading day today. My go...

Transcript: Welcome to the AM briefing video presented by microstrader.com, where together we trade better. Good morning, everybody! Today's quote: "Everything is possible for the one who believes." You've come too far in your trading journey to give up now. Everything is possible for the one who believes. And for my members, hopefully, you know you're in a group that believes and will help you.

Welcome to Monday, May 13th. I can't believe May is almost over. I look at that date, and I just can't believe it. [Music] Well, I forgot to update my quote, so this is the same one from Friday, but it probably means you need to pay attention to this one today. 'Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.' How do we transfer that to trading? Well, what's evil? Overleveraging, adding to losers, dropping to a one-minute chart trying to get in early, being the first one to short in an uptrend—those are things that are evil. What is good? Trading with the trend, adding to winners, being patient, and waiting for that three-minute entry that's just too juicy to pass up. Good morning, and welcome to SPX Radio, the Futures Edition. All right, let's bring thi...

Happy Friday, May 10th. The CPI excitement is inbound next week, and storms are moving in today. Today's quote: "Come to me, and I will give you rest." Boy, has it been a weary week of price action. In my opinion, Mother's Day weekend is a time to make sure you take a rest. Ensure you do something for Mother's Day. If you don't have a mother or a grandmother with you any longer, may the Lord bring you peace. You can still do something kind for another person. So, let's give rest and be kind this weekend, and especially be kind to yourself. This is not the easiest week of trading, but we're going to look at that here in a minute.  Alright, let's get down to business, but sometimes you gotta party first, right? We kind of got party in the front, business in the back. Alright, ...

Thursday, May 9th—don't forget Mother's Day is just around the corner. Alright, well, today, our quote is going to relate to our tip, which relates to the post I made on the trading floor inside of Discord last night: 'Do your planning and prepare your fields before building your house.' And today's tip is going to relate to preparation—being prepared to trade, preparing your field. Your field of play is this chart. It's you against you, and you need to be thoroughly prepared for battle because that's what this is—a battle. Alright, let's get into it. So, welcome to the AM briefing brought to you by MicroTrader.com, where together, we trade better. We see it in our room all the time, how we trade better when we trade together. Yesterday gave you seven winners. I...

Welcome to SPX Radio, the Futures Edition, where it's always sunny and 72. But, I looked on the map for next week; clouds are coming in Tuesday and Wednesday with PPI and CPI—that's right. Well, today's quote: 'Love must be sincere. Detest what is evil; cling to what is good.' How can we apply that to trading? Well, detest—some other versions put the word 'hate'—what is evil. What is evil in trading? Letting your emotions get in the way, overleveraging, prediction trading. Hate that stuff; detest it so much so that you refuse to engage in it and cling to what is good—that's being patient, that's waiting, appropriate leverage, trade after trade, day after day. Yesterday, I had a great discussion inside of Jared's Journal about levels and trading. So, if you're a ...
