Video Transcript: Hello everyone, it’s Trader Dale here with a new weekly trading ideas video. Before we jump into the trading ideas, let’s do a quick recap of the trades we had based on last week’s ideas. Right here is TradingView, where you can always find my predictions. Let’s start with the  ES : this was the prediction on the  ES —we had a long level based on this volume cluster, and as you can see, there was a beautiful reaction right here, making it a winner.  The next trade was on the  NQ , where we had a long level based on those volumes, and as you can see, it was also a winner with this beautiful reaction. There was also  AUD/USD , set at this long level based on the volume clu...

Video Transcript: Hey everyone, it’s Dale here. I decided to start shooting these short videos about my recent trades so you guys know what I’m up to all day. Let’s start with two trades I had yesterday. They were on  NQ  and  ES . Maybe you guys saw the prediction on TradingView because I posted it on Monday. I also sent it in an email. Here is the prediction on  ES  and how it played out. Also, here is the prediction on  NQ , and this is how that one played out. Now let me switch over to the NinjaTrader 8 platform and show you how I traded this. Alright, this is the NinjaTrader 8 platform. This is the ES chart, a 30-minute chart of ES.

What you see before you is the NinjaTrader platform with my custom-made Volume Profile and VWAP indicators. I’d like to start with a little recap of the levels from last week’s video. What you see before you is the  EUR/USD  chart on a 30-minute time frame. In here, we had a short level, which was right here. It was based on these heavy volumes. So this was the short level, and the stop loss was placed here, based on the heavy volume zone. As you probably know, I like to place the stop loss behind heavy volume zones. This was the stop loss, and as you can see, the price hit that level in a very aggressive spike. The ...

Video Transcript: Hey guys, it’s Sterling here from Trader Dale, back for another video about prop firms. In this video, we’ll discuss how to succeed in the prop firm environment. A lot of people pass a prop firm challenge without much trouble. There’s much less stress in that environment, and people tend to trade more freely. Some traders blow up a few accounts before eventually passing a challenge—that happens too. Either way, getting a funded account is something that happens regularly. But how do you hold on to that account? Getting funded isn’t necessarily the hardest part. The real challenge is trading consistently over weeks and months, being able to generate steady profits rather than just getting a few wins here and there. Profitable trading can look good on paper, but the stress involved—like position sizing, flipping, and reversing trades—can be overwhelming. Some forms of trading may be profitable for a short period but unsustainable over the long term. You need to perform ...
