    What is the best prop firm trading in your opinion?

    You just confirmed that it's blowup time for APEX. The model is like a black hole, sucking in suckers, but nothing coming out the other end except sh^&**t. Blow up time.

    The guy in the video has about as much credibility as a rattlesnake in heat.

    My attempt to earn a funded account with Earn2Trade

    Please don't say that. Really doesn't matter if there's a god or not. No way to prove it either way. Believe in yourself.

    My attempt to earn a funded account with Earn2Trade

    "I love the fucking pressure!!" It's amazing how we love the pressure cooker. Like being a Navy Seal under fire. Rely on your strategy! Nice work. Hope your eyes stabilize.

    5 min ORB strategy

    Also I found when researching other instruments, that it's practically impossible with the NQ and marginal at best with the ES. The volatility is a killer. Bonds are more stable, especially prior to any news event. A lot of traders must be doing it or the back testing wouldn't show such clear...

    5 min ORB strategy

    I generally use order flow, particularly cumulative delta, to decide if I'm going to bail or hold on. There are days when volume isn't that great, cumulative delta is just dragging along, and all you can get is 2-3 ticks. But most of the time, if you're not too risk adverse, you can milk it...

    5 min ORB strategy

    Also I'm not holding until the end of the session. I scalp depending on the size of the range and the overnight high/low.

    5 min ORB strategy

    That's why I like bond futures at their open - 5:20 am PST. Everyone is on duty so you can get filled at your price. Don't know about TQQQ and similar. Never traded them.

    5 min ORB strategy

    That's true, but depends on how you decide to enter and manage the trade. I generally set a limit order to buy/sell 1 tick above/below the recent 5 min high or low. Sometimes there's a small range already in place at that time of day so I'll use those numbers. But the idea is worthwhile to...

    Trying out an E2T TCP 50

    No, I'm not a funded trader. I run my own account. But I follow most of them and have studied their policies. E2T is transparent. Their payout policy is straight forward - no waiting months for a payout like Apex. With Apex, the evaluation period may be 5 days, but then you have a 20 day...

    Trying out an E2T TCP 50

    E2T is a good company. I hope you do well. What are you looking for on the DOM? Are you using a scalping technique?

    Darrell Martin and Apex - legit or scam?

    Saw this on another board: Read the posts on that board. The cash cow isn't producing enough for payouts. Probably hit the wall sooner rather than later. There are legit prop firms. Don't think Apex is one of them.

    Scalping_My Way with ACV

    Why would he do that? A performance summary would be a BACKTEST, and we can't have that! They guy is smoking some strong stuff if he thinks traders will fall for bs like that. Doesn't matter if you're a discretionary trader or an algorithmic trader. Everyone backtests to some degree or...

    You're demonstrating total ignorance and a lack of common sense.

    Scalping_My Way with ACV

    And that says everything I need to know because if you don't understand observation and testing, you sure as hell have wasted your time.

    Scalping_My Way with ACV

    And that means you have tried over and over to make something work. And that "something" was an observation you made in the market, something that's redundant and repeatable. If you saw the same "something" hundreds of times, that's backtesting regardless even though you just looked at it.

    Scalping_My Way with ACV

    And maybe you and the OP should look up the definition of "strategy". It's a PLAN of action. You're creating something for use in the future. That means you need to know what happened in the past. The lack of analytical thinking here is astounding.

    Scalping_My Way with ACV

    And that's if you don't encounter volatility intrabar. The whole scenario is ridiculous.
