2 weeks into 2026 and many of you have blown account already.
Q1 accumulation happening so far, for the new yearly candle.
Zoom out on NQ, the market isn’t doing shit.
I’m not saying there aren’t trades in here,
But choose your shots wisely is all.
Most of you are not good enough to navigate this, and that’s the harsh reality.
Long year ahead.

Collect so much data and so many charts that you're not surprised when it plays out like it did so many other times.

Trading, the most beautiful skill in the world.
Because once you have it, no one can take it away from you…

Mum just bought NQ
It’s time lads… PML incoming

Full breakeven on all my accounts right now.
0%
Does that change my system?
No.
Is it scary?
No.
Does that make me revenge trade?
No.
I am executing a system,
Nothing more.
My system will take care of the losses and dead periods over time.

You know why your gaps never hold? Because you cannot tell me why it will hold, you just see a gap and execute
What’s the difference between you and a trend line trader? Nothing. Y
ou are both still shit
Spend months figuring out why the gap should hold and you’ll spend more months reaping the benefits of an actual understanding behind why price does what it does.

How the fuck are you going to make it in trading if you damn near cry every time you take a loss?
You think I don’t lose too?
We’re all stressed.
But lean into it.
Trust your model and keep trading it.
Stop being so emotional.
Easier said than done, of course. But you need to be told harshly as a starting point.
Before I made real money in this market, I lost thousands.
Thousands is not a lot of money - long term.
But when I was 18/19? A shit ton of money.
But risk builds character.
Character builds systems.
Systems build your career.

I didn’t fail because I couldn’t trade, I failed because I couldn’t stop trading.

Waiting is the hardest but most important skill you will develop as a trader:
- Patience to wait for your edge.
- You need discipline to execute on your edge
- You need confidence to win with your setups.
Snipers are waiting 99% of the time, so are trader’s.

- Find an edge
- Create a plan
- Wait for your edge
- Trade your edge
- Respect your rules
- Keep risk under control
- Win/Lose
- Repeat

The new year has been here over a week.
Are you going to get a payout this year?
Don’t rush.
But don’t think it isn’t possible.
It is.
My trading changed in 2 months.
Once I realised I just needed to wait for my edge.
Then it all finally changed.
Lots of losses, made worth it all at once.

Your edge isn’t your strategy, it’s your discipline.
Anyone can learn a system.
Few can stick to it.

Here’s what we’re looking for (in order):
Displacement FVG
Entry
Stop-loss at the swing high (before FVG) T
arget discounted FVG or liquidity
Less is more.
As long as your draw is right more times than not, you’ll be fine.

Find your edge.
Write down when it appears.
Write down how it appears.
Write down the logic behind why it appears.
Get your emotions in check.
Never give in to FOMO.
Never trade anything but your edge.
The blueprint is above you.
Who’s going to be the 1% to apply it?

Think about all the pain you’ve endured up to this point.
Years of suffering,
Years of burning your eyes.
All for it to go to waste.
Because you can’t even wait for your model to appear.
Now that’s a shame.

Trading isn’t about being right.
It’s about managing risk.
You can be wrong 40% of the time,
And still make serious money.
Most people forget that.
Professionals don’t.

I don’t know a single profitable trader that didn’t struggle for years first.
You cannot skip the work.
Years of losing accounts.
Years of pain.
Years of late nights.
Years of early mornings
But when it clicks?
You become an ATM.

Risk more on your challenges.
2% risk to start.
Lose? Drop to half.
Stay at half that even if you keep losing.
The last thing you want is to be stuck on a challenge for months.
This is how you beat the prop firm game.
As long as you can afford the challenge, you’re fine.

Consistency in 2026 doesn’t come from grinding.
It comes from structure.
A proven system removes emotion.
That’s how you get funded.
And more importantly,
Stay funded.
