“I used to be the largest dairy consumer on the planet. I used to eat so much dairy and meat. The more that I looked into the dairy industry, the more that I saw that it was the singular, most inhumane industry on the planet, that we've all been lied to, including myself, for years. I always believed that the picture on the milk carton, the cow standing next to her calf in the green field with the red barn in the back was true. It’s certainly the complete opposite.” – Richard (Kudo) Couto Richard (Kudo) Couto is the founder of Animal Recovery Mission (ARM), an organization solely dedicated to investigating extreme animal cruelty cases. ARM has led high-risk undercover operations that have resulted in the shutdown of illegal slaughterhouses, animal fighting rings, and horse meat trafficking networks. Recently, they released a damning investigation into two industrial dairy farms outside of Phoenix, Arizona supplying milk to Coca-Cola’s Fairlife brand. What they uncovered was systemic animal abuse, environmental violations, and a devastating betrayal of consumer trust. While Fairlife markets its products as being sourced "humanely," ARM’s footage tells a very different story—one of suffering, abuse, and corporate complicity. Despite the evidence, this story has been largely ignored by mainstream media—likely due to Coca-Cola’s massive influence and advertising dollars.…

In this video, I explore the technical nuances of the rising wedge pattern, a crucial tool for traders aiming to anticipate price pullbacks and avoid false breakouts. The rising wedge, although counterintuitively bearish, serves as a signal to remain patient during market surges. By analyzing Tesla's stock, I demonstrate the practical application of this pattern, documenting its predictive power and limitations. My analysis underscores the importance of understanding market patterns to enhance trading decisions, emphasizing that no pattern guarantees success but instead offers a probabilistic edge in trading. I encourage you to study this pattern further on your chosen charting platform to see how it plays out in real market conditions.

I YOLO’d!…1 Trade, Max Size 12 NQ Contracts.. (part 3 prop firm challenge) 26:11

22 weeks ago26:11

26:11

In this video, I examine the mechanics of executing a maximum-size trade within a futures prop firm environment. I present the concept of YOLO trading, specifically leveraging 12 NQ contracts, to illustrate the trade-offs and constraints present in a regulated evaluation phase. I focus on the absence of a pattern day trading rule in the futures market and the near-constant market access it provides. I also detail the roles and requirements of prop firms, including the profit targets, position size limits, and the stipulated restrictions that ensure consistent and verified trading performance. By working through these conditions, I demonstrate how a trader can navigate the initial evaluation steps while adhering to the rules designed to foster proper risk management. My objective is to provide a structured perspective on futures trading and prop firm challenges, emphasizing the importance of patience, calculation, and adaptability.…

Part 2 of the YOLO Prop Firm Futures Trading Challenge! 30:43

22 weeks ago30:43

30:43

In this video, I continue working through my futures trading prop firm YOLO challenge. I interact with the market in real time, address the complexities of building and managing a position, and explore the operational differences between futures and equities. My primary focus is on applying technical trading principles, including evaluating areas of resistance, potential pivot points, and examining moving averages as reference levels. Throughout the process, I adhere to a set of constraints provided by a member of my trading community. This approach emphasizes controlled but substantial position sizing within the futures market. While I do not rely on the pattern day trading rule, I recognize the importance of maintaining strict discipline and risk management, even when engaging in higher-risk “YOLO” trades. I present the price action methodically, specifying entry points, stop placements, and potential outcomes for each move. This video aims to offer a technical, educational perspective on futures trading that demonstrates both the practicality and the volatility inherent in this asset class.…

Futures Prop Firm YOLO Trading Challenge! (thanks Sam!) 28:46

23 weeks ago28:46

28:46

In this video, I focus on establishing my approach to a futures trading challenge through a prop firm account. I explain the definition of a prop firm account and outline how working with one offers the opportunity to risk a small amount of personal capital for potentially significant upside. I emphasize the characteristics of futures trading, such as the absence of the pattern day trader rule and the near-round-the-clock operational hours, which can enable me to structure trades more flexibly. As I proceed with the trading session, I begin by using smaller contract sizes to balance the YOLO approach against the account parameters set forth by Sam. I discuss risk management decisions, the impact of trendlines, and evaluating key levels, as well as how I incorporate position sizing adjustments as the session unfolds. Through these trades, I aim to highlight the complexities, emotional challenges, and strategic considerations inherent in futures trading and prop firm-funded endeavors, all while operating within the constraints and guidelines specified for this YOLO trading challenge.…

Futures Trading vs. Options Trading: The Big Difference! 10:19

23 weeks ago10:19

10:19

In this video, I examine the key differences between trading futures and options, with particular emphasis on how pricing mechanics influence decision-making. I consider the impact of the Greeks on options pricing and illustrate why they can create additional complexity. I show how, when trading futures, there is a direct relationship between the charted price level and the actual trade execution point. By providing a real futures trade example, I explain how, unlike with options, I can accurately anticipate entry and exit prices without the distortion caused by external factors. I address the underlying price influences in options trading and their effect on strategy formulation. I also highlight how futures are free from the pattern day trading rule, potentially offering flexibility for certain trading approaches.…

Step 1 - Get the Basics HERE Step 2 - Build a Strategy HERE Step 3 - Start Practicing HERE Step 4 - Begin Your Prop Firm Test HERE I present a structured approach to beginning futures trading by focusing on risk management and personalizing strategies to fit my unique risk tolerance. I explain key concepts such as the pattern day trading rule and the benefits of choosing the futures market, including extended trading hours and accommodating smaller amounts of capital. I then discuss the importance of building an individualized trading system rather than relying on one-size-fits-all methodologies. After establishing this foundational knowledge, I clarify the concept of prop firm brokers and their impact on my trading potential, ensuring I understand the distinction between total purchasing power and the actual capital I risk losing. I emphasize the necessity of practicing with accurate parameters, using paper trading to mirror real conditions and force proper trading behaviors. By treating the trailing drawdown amount as my real account size during simulated trading, I create discipline that will transition seamlessly into live trading scenarios. Overall, I aim to provide a thorough, step-by-step framework that combines technical understanding, responsible risk management, and realistic practice routines.…

A Common Complaint Against Technical Trading Charts 9:15

24 weeks ago9:15

9:15

As a trader, I often encounter the criticism that technical analysis is ineffective because charts only display past data and cannot predict the future. I acknowledge that no one can predict market movements with absolute certainty, and it is true that charts reflect historical information. However, I believe that analyzing past price action provides valuable insights that inform our trading decisions. By studying historical patterns and behaviors, we can identify areas where the probabilities may be in our favor. For instance, if a stock consistently bounces off a particular support level, it is logical to consider that level as a potential entry point. While this does not guarantee future performance, it offers a rational basis for our strategies. In this video, I address the common complaint that charts merely show what has already happened and therefore hold no value. I explain how past data can be instrumental in identifying likely scenarios and why utilizing historical information is a practical approach in trading. My aim is to equip fellow traders with an understanding of how to effectively use technical analysis to gain an edge in the markets.…

Futures Trading 101: Finding YOUR Comfort Level 12:46

24 weeks ago12:46

12:46

In this video, I explore the critical aspect of futures trading: finding your personal comfort level. I address a common question from my community about whether traders prefer NQ or MNQ futures contracts. While it's natural to wonder what others are trading, it's essential to focus on what suits your own trading style and risk tolerance. To illustrate this, I walk through seven of my own trades, varying in product and position size. By observing the fluctuations in profit and loss during these trades, you can assess how different products and contract sizes might affect your trading experience. Remember, the key variables are the futures product and the number of contracts traded. Your emotional response to these fluctuations is a vital indicator of what is appropriate for you. Additionally, I provide information on futures trading basics and introduce the concept of prop firm trading, which allows you to minimize personal capital risk while accessing greater upside potential.…

I Played With Fire (Day Trader Mistakes) 9:57

26 weeks ago9:57

9:57

Today, I encountered a critical error in my day trading practice that underscores the perils of deviating from disciplined strategies. I initiated a trade involving options, which resulted in a $2,000 loss due to a panic-induced decision to sell at the worst possible moment. This mistake was compounded when I imprudently increased my position size from one contract to five contracts in an attempt to recover the loss, exposing myself to significantly higher risk. While the subsequent trade yielded a $1,500 gain, this outcome does not justify the reckless escalation in position size. My experience highlights the importance of adhering to established trading protocols, controlling emotional responses, and avoiding the temptation to increase risk exposure after a loss. I aim to share this experience to reinforce the critical importance of discipline and risk management in trading activities.…

How to Find Good Entry Points (Day Trading) 13:29

26 weeks ago13:29

13:29

I explain how to find effective entry points in day trading by applying multiple time frame analysis and leveraging moving averages as key indicators. Using a real-world trade example where I made $1,000 in 19 seconds trading put options, I walk through the process of identifying potential resistance levels by examining the 50-period moving average on the one-minute chart and corroborating it with the five-minute chart. I detail how moving averages can serve as dynamic support or resistance levels and how cross-referencing different time frames can provide additional evidence to support a trade idea. I also discuss the importance of risk management, acknowledging that while this method can increase the probability of success, it does not guarantee profitable trades every time. My goal is to help you understand how to gather and interpret multiple pieces of technical evidence to gain an edge in your trading decisions.…

Stocks vs. Options - Why I Trade Options! 12:56

26 weeks ago12:56

12:56

In this video, I compare trading stocks to trading options and explain why I primarily choose options. I demonstrate how trading options requires less capital and smaller price movements to achieve the same profit as trading stocks. Using Tesla as an example, I calculate the substantial capital needed and the price movement required to make $1,000 with stocks. I then illustrate how options offer the same profit potential with significantly less capital and movement, sharing a real trade where I earned $1,000 in just 19 seconds using options. I emphasize the importance of proper education when trading options due to their inherent risks. Additionally, I discuss how options trading can be accessible even for those with smaller account sizes by choosing different strike prices. For those interested in learning more, I offer a free class on the basics of day trading options.…
