Rather a green day or red, I'm always collecting data. Today I ended up catching a pretty solid trade which included some confluences that aren't a part of the Kill Zone Strategy. But that's the beauty of trading. With the foundation of the Kill Zone Strategy, I was able to notice some other common occurrences that helped to strengthen my entries and TP targets. My point, learn what works. Then, practice making the markets clearer to you based on your psychology 📈

Starting over

Family, I just got my $2,750 payout approved today with Apex Trader Funding. It’s not about the dollar amount — it’s about what it represents. Every candle I sat through. Every trade I journaled. Every rule I followed (and every time I wanted to break them but didn’t). Trading isn’t about hitting one big win. It’s about showing up, day after day, with discipline, patience, and structure. Most traders fail because they chase shortcuts. The truth is: ✅ Small wins stack. ✅ Consistency compounds. ✅ Discipline pays. This payout is proof of that. 👉 Ask yourself: Are you showing up with the same consistency your goals demand? Let’s keep stacking. One payout at a time.

I wanted to take a moment and share this with you all… 📅 These screenshots are from September 2023 when I was running $50K and $500K prop firm challenges back-to-back. That day, I made $2,430 in 20 minutes on the E-mini S&P. At the time, I said to myself, “This challenge is going to be done in 2 weeks easy.” But here’s the thing: ✅ I’ve been trading for 8+ years ✅ I’ve blown accounts, learned hard lessons, and kept coming back ✅ I’ve invested over $100,000 into mentorship and psychology to figure this out ✅ I’ve taken multiple prop firm challenges and hit multiple payouts This isn’t luck. This is years of grinding, failing, learning, and finally figuring out a repeatable system that works. I share this not to flex, but to remind you: 🎯 If you’re feeling stuck right now… I’ve been there. 🎯 If you’re worried you’ll never figure it out… I felt that way too. 🎯 If you’ve blown an account and wanted to quit… I did, more than once. The difference between the people who make it and the ones who don’t is this: They don’t quit. Stay in the game, follow the process, and keep learning. Your breakthrough is coming.
