THIS IS PART ONE OF A SERIES.

THIS IS TO GO THROUGH EVERY DAY OF A COMBINE THROUGH TO A FUNDED ACCOUNT AND TAKING HOME THE PROFITS ONLY AFTER $10,000-$20,000 PROFITS HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED ON THE FUNDED ACCOUNT.

IN THE FIRST PHASE IT'S THE COMBINE, AND THIS BEGINS AS A 3 CONTRACT ACCOUNT IN THE COMBINE

IN THE SECOND PHASE OF THE TRADING TEST THAT A PROP FIRM WANTS THIS CONTINUES BY STARTING AS A 3 CONTRACT ACCOUNT AGAIN, AND WORKING TO 15 CONTRACTS.

IN THE FINAL PHASE AFTER BOTH TESTS ARE PASSED, AND THE FUNDED ACCOUNT IS ESTABLISHED THIS STARTS AS A 3 CONTRACT ACCOUNT AS A FUNDED TRADED. IT THEN GOES ONTO A 15 CONTRACT FUNDED ACCOUNT WITH 5 FIGURES IN PROFITS THAT REMAIN IN THE FUNDED ACCOUNT AS THE DRAWDOWN LIMIT. PROFITS ON THE FUNDED ACCOUNT ARE THE DRAWDOWN BECAUSE THE FIRM NO LONGER GIVES YOU A DRAWDOWN. IT'S UP TO YOU HOW BIG YOUR DRAWDOWN IN.

I RECOMMEND A MINIMUM OF 10-20K PROFITS ON THE FUNDED ACCOUNT, BUT LIMIT YOURSELF TO 10K TAKE HOME A MONTH. CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE THE REST OVER A YEAR OR MORE, AND THEN SPLINTER OFF ANOTHER ACCOUNT OR ACCOUNTS WITH BROKERAGES OF YOUR OWN AFTER ESTABLISHING A SIZABLE ACCOUNT. 15 CONTRACTS CAN BE LIMITING AND RULES SUCH AS BEING OUT BY THE CLOSE OF THE MARKET CAN BE LIMITER TO SOME TRADERS. OTHERWISE THE RISK FREE LEVERAGE OFFERED BY THE FIRM CAN BE A BENEFIT AS WELL WHICH MOST CONSERVATIVE, MEDIOCRE TRADERS WILL LIVE BY NOT SPLINTER FROM. IN THAT CASE JUST RETAIN A 10-20K DRAWDOWN BUFFER ON THE BOOKS, AND TAKE HOME THE PROFITS ABOVE THAT MONTHLY.

THE FIRST VIDEO OR FIRST VIDEOS ARE USED AS A REFERENCE FOR NOMENCLATURE AND CONCEPTS THAT ARE USED THROUGH THE SERIES. NOT EVERYONE WANTS A 2 HOUR VIDEO EACH DAY TO SIT THROUGH. THOSE WILL BE AT THE BEGINNING. THEN THEY WILL BE SHORTER BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN SO MUCH ABOUT THE MEANING OF WHAT I'M SAYING, BUT RATHER THE BRIEF WACHA DO AND WACHA DON'T DO ON THE CHARTS.

I'LL THROW IN SOME REAL TIME TRADING VIDEOS, BUT NOT EVERY DAY. THOSE CAN GET DRAWN OUT, AND IT'S KIND OF DISTRACTING FOR ME. I HAVE TO ACTUALLY TRADE.


LAST OF ALL THIS APPLIES TO THE MOST POPULAR LIQUID FUTURES MARKETS WHICH I CARRY ON 7 MONITORS:

/NQ NASDAQ
/ES S&P 500
/CL OIL
/6E EURO
/GC GOLD



SINCERELY,

TRADER

Surprise by simplicity of your trading ,just a 5 min chart and producing a good results. I completed a first part of combine and just to be killed in a second part mostly due to over sizing . So hopefully learn some new stuff from you .If possible show more CL crude videos. Recorded live trading is most valuable .Your political and historical comments are interesting as well .
Hopefully more members will recognize the values here .

Hi @Trader2016,

I notice that every single post is just to promote your YouTube channel. There is no discussion here, you are simply using futures io as a means to advertise your channel.

What are your intentions? Are you starting a trading related business, or plan to at some point in the future?

Will you ever offer any type of paid service or product, or start a website/blog that earns money by referral or by paid services or products, in any way?

Mike
