Hail, champions! Unless you've been living in a cave, you're at least somewhat familiar with The Lord of the Rings—the epic tale of heroes and villains centered around a piece of jewelry: The One Ring. This ring amplifies weaknesses, twists intentions, and brutally reveals the true nature of whoever wields it. The stories of those who wear the Ring, including Frodo, Gollum, Gandalf, Galadriel, and Boromir, are about the same experience: the witching process. A few pass the test, but most fail. Sound familiar yet? In our day trading realm, we are all secretly navigating our own version of that very same process. Everyone who enters day trading starts innocent enough: excited, confident, and hopeful. But it doesn't take long for the ins and outs of the markets to corrupt us, and we often don't realize it until we're already spiraling. And there is where we lose most of our friends and colleagues, disappearing into the "unseen world". What happened here? It turned out that we just weren't prepared for the nearly impossible task of resisting temptation and maintaining emotional control. All of our common flaws (like haste and fear of missing out) seemed only minor, as if we could control and overcome those, no problem. We're all adults, so we all have that strong emotional maturity, right? Well just like Gollum, Boromir, and the nine Ringwraiths learned, we also learned we were mistaken. Only a small handful of people ever realize their weaknesses and pass the ring's test, and the same is true in day trading. My witching process is no different from yours. I began as a confident wizard, but within a month I was blowing EAs with my heart rate skyrocketing each time. I was then passing EAs but blowing PAs, blaming anything and anyone except myself. I considered abandoning the journey several times. But one day along the path, almost suddenly, I ditched most of the bad emotions that consumed my day trading. I gave up greed (I scaled down to 2 micros), the fear of missing out (I stopped brooding over trades I missed), and revenge trading (by forcing myself to log EVERYTHING I do). And then like sunlight breaking through a wall of clouds, I passed the test, just like Galadriel.

I did it in one day! Thanks Kyle for the classes you offer! Took me from knowing nothing about trading to feeling confident to open my first funded account!

Greetings, fellow entrepreneurs! Let me share my journey over the past two years, and the final sprint that saw me cross the finish line. I started day trading futures using prop firms, two years ago after joining the InvestCEO group, called Next Door Trader back then. I quickly learnt the markets, price action, and the tech tools we have available to us. However, I failed to grasp emotional control and discipline, which is perhaps the hardest bit. By the end of the first year, I worked on that personal development enough to clear a few EA (evaluation) accounts. But I was still blowing Performance Accounts with no payout in sight. I was trading the iterations of the groups strategy, which improved and eventually became the "Superman" and "Jedi" style of trading. The newer strategies worked better, passing EAs more easily, but still stalling on my PAs. Towards July of '24, I became the developer of InvestCEO's Superman Indicator. At that point I realised that I absolutely must set the best example, if I am to be this strategy's torch-bearer. And so I did. Whilst developing it, I discovered accidentally that the indicator tends to "overlap" supply and demand zones, making them appear brighter. As it turned out, the brighter the zone, the more probable a win. Sure as eggs, it sustained those higher win rates over time, and I passed multiple EAs using this Superman 'brightness' technique. Now with adequate discipline, the final test was whether I could take one of those new PAs to full payout threshold, from $50,000 to $52,600 on the Apex accounts, using nothing but the Superman Indicator. I did, and it only took 60 days to reach it. My account balances and trading history are now concrete proof that through emotional control, a good indicator, and plenty of logging, any of us can take a new EA, pass it, and get to the first of many payouts! Here's my first approved payout, and if anyone is wondering about the brightness levels I mentioned, do have a peek at my Superman screenshot below. Happy trading, and we'll see you up in the clouds!

It’s been quite a journey. Thanks to Kyle, the community, perseverance and faith in Christ I was able to accomplish this while battling stage 4 cancer. No sorrow or pity, pure gratitude and a message of hope to all. For anyone overwhelmed, KEEP Going, just make your adjustments wisely

Good morning CEO's, What a wild ride it has been so far! It took some losing to get my discipline in check but I feel like I'm in a good spot now. I got quick approval and I left a $3,000 buffer. Thank you Kyle and team, you all are the best!! Onto the next milestone. Lets gooo!
