Dude, the amount of value you're putting out is insane

[@dimitriosploumpidis5536]

Next video suggestion: Backtesting session of your go-to setup in which you cover a considerable period of time. We get to see everything: no tag days, W, break evens, L. I firmly believe that that will bring everything together for most of us. Keep up the phenomenal work! Much love from 🇬🇷

[@mericanreseller8425]

This wouldn’t benefit you. Go into the chart and put in the work backtesting yourself to develop the skill

[@sincerecolar]

Your timing is literally perfect. Grateful, final tweak.

[@gerardoromero2550]

Great video. I've had these questions for so long but you managed to answer them with this explanation!

[@aaroncoker6107]

Probably your most helpful video thus far. Thanks for clarifying how to use the long/short tools. Extremely helpful, and I’ve already done some back testing within.

[@TTrades_edu]

awesome

[@soloudmusic]

This is great. Commissions are important for these calculations. I made something similar but didn’t include commissions and it made a difference

Absolutely fire. Exactly what we needed! Thank you homie!

Must see video for any serious traders! Thanks TTrades!

[@yokobradford362]

This is awesome!!!! I have to rewatch it again to understand the calculation part. I am new to futures and still trying to learn how to counts points 😂 But definitely want to do this. This challenge would definitely help me build my discipline for sure. Love a little fun and challenge. Thank you for this! 👍🏼🥰🙏🏼

Am not rushing on getting funded as i am taking it slow so as not to make bad habits in trading and since i have still a fulltime job so no rush for me. Godspeed and Shalom!

A “ must watch” video. Rather a “ must practice”…😊

[@Youarturo]

TTrades, your content gets better by the minute, I can see the love, care, time and dedication you put into every video. Really appreciate it very much. May I ask you for the MACRO Times of Day that you use or ICT uses. I´m asking because I see "content" that shows very different Macro Times of Day. So I WILL TRUST YOU and your Macro Times of the Day above everyone else. Huge thank you !!!

[@TTrades_edu]

I personally dont use macros. but its just important new OHLC/ OLHC and then 10mins on each side of that. for example. london close 10am. 9:50-10:10.

[@vittoriorossi38]

Next video Suggestion: Opening Range Gap and when to use RTH versus ETH in Futures trading. I already know the utility of RTH and the narrative that the Opening Range Gap can provide when analysing the Daily profile, but I also know that there are not many quality videos on this topic for the people that try to search them. I follow you from a while and I think you would do it well. :)

[@raso2278]

Really awesome video, this helped me a lot. A question on number of contracts. You said that you round down to be safe, do you also do that if the number of contracts is 1.8 or 1.9 (ignoring the fact that you would shift to micro's). If not, where do you decide to round up or down? Thanks in advance.

[@TTrades_edu]

Then i use micros. there i would round up.

I can recommend arjo for analysis. FVG is all you need.

Are you struggling with just knowing the different time frame alignments? Or struggling to know when to drop to your lower time frame?

if your swing trading all you need while looking for entries is 1,2,5 and 15 min and for market analysis and htf pois 1hr 4hr and the daily other than that you dont really need any other tfs

Yeap that part about once funded Give yourself that cushion. specially when the trailing drawdown stops following you. exactly how I plan on trading my funded acc

[@maarrsseelli]

nice but you should have made an introduction for traders to keep R-multiple stats so that in the end of the month they have the average RR and win rate so they can input their stats on a equity curve simulator and see where they are in their journey. but anyway its nice to see the correct way of aiming to become a better trader, is pushed by your channel. thank you

this is just a basic intro to position sizing. will look to make more in future with journaling and statistics

[@antoniotina1996]

every return and profitability risk is not true because it is partialized and return risk drops. How do you behave in these cases to evaluate profitability? and when do you divide?

[@TTrades_edu]

not exactly sure what you mean.

[@antoniotina1996]

@@TTrades_edu I intend. if you have a return risk of 1:3 for example, then you partial it out and don't take 3 times more of the risk. but about 2 times because you split half the fight halfway, for example

this is assuming no partials and a fixed R
