25 YEARS OLD. CO-MANAGING $50 MILLION AND BUYING THE STOCK YOU THINK YOU’VE MISSED.
SanDisk had already rallied over 100% when @ConnorJBates_ bought at $135.
You think you’re too late at $135?
The stock went on to reach $725. Suddenly, $135 doesn’t look so expensive.
“You never know how high these things can go.”
But recognising a powerful stock is only part of it.
Knowing where to enter, when to take profits and when to get out is what makes this breakdown worth studying.
Before you write off another stock because “it’s already gone up too much,” watch this clip.
In this Sunday’s episode, Connor reveals:
• His “super stock” criteria for finding potential market leaders.
• His entry playbook for breakouts, flags and pullbacks.
• Where he defines risk and cuts failed trades.
• How he takes profits while keeping part of a position running.
Plus more chart examples showing how he puts his playbook to work.
Full episode drops Sunday at 10 a.m. EDT on Chart Fanatics.

Brian Stonk has made $2 million in prop firm payouts in 3 years. He still drives the car he had in high school.
He left his engineering degree with one year to go. In his first 6 months of prop trading, he was $10,000 to $20,000 down.
What turned it around:
• He tracks what he spends vs what he gets paid. His goal is 5x. He is around 10x
• He added a second account only after a payout
• After a payout, he takes small wins instead of trying to grow the account fast
• 3 losses in a row means he is reading the market wrong that day
• The urge to win it back with one big trade gets written down, not traded

1. Use one fixed stop.
Every Nasdaq trade gets a 10 point stop. The stop is the only part of a trade he fully controls, so it never moves.
"Be right or be right out."

Okala has taken over $5 million in prop firm payouts and runs around 76 funded accounts.
He didn't start with 76. He started with one.
His process, in 5 steps:

One of our traders took the same Gold trade on two accounts.
Account 1: the usual 1 to 3 target.
Account 2: a bigger target, just under 1 to 5.
Both targets hit. Then price kept running.
Same entry, two plans.
One target or more?
Trader Mayne has made over $10 million trading forex and crypto.
His entry is simple: price sweeps liquidity, then breaks structure.
He told us most of these concepts are made complicated on purpose.
A complicated strategy is easier to sell than to trade.

🧠The version of you that panics on a bad trade is only one version of you.
Trading psychologist Rande Howell borrows an idea from quantum mechanics to explain this
In his view reality starts as potential
The one observing it is what gives it shape
That is how a self is formed, the person you think you are
His process has two steps
First, regulate your emotions so they do not wipe you out
Then build mindfulness, so you can look inside and notice what is happening
That is when you start to see it
The "me" you were a moment ago is just one way your self can be organized
There are many others
For Rande that is a reason for hope
It means you can build a trading mind that works much better than the one you started with
You are not stuck with the trader you are today
More from Rande in the first reply
"You can trust your backtest. You cannot trust a feeling."
That is how Gianluca Bruni thinks about every strategy he trades
For him backtesting is the proof
It tells you if what you are doing actually makes money
So he takes it very seriously
Many traders backtest just to get more experience in the market
He does it differently 🔍
He defines the exact conditions he is looking for
He checks the market structure
Then he makes every rule objective so each backtest is done the same way
That way the results actually mean something
And he can judge his strategy by facts instead of feelings
Gianluca goes deeper on his backtesting process in the full episode

We sat 15 unprofitable traders in front of Umar Ashraf, a trader with over $30 million in profits.
The same mistakes kept coming up:
1. Overtrading
2. Revenge trading
3. Cutting winners early
4. Switching strategies
5. No discipline
Most of these have nothing to do with strategy.

JadeCap went from construction worker to a world record $2.5 million single prop firm payout. Over $4.5 million in payouts in total.
He owns a Ferrari. He drives it once a week. The rest of the time, he is in his office.
He started with $10 to $25 risk per trade, and spent his first 5 years jumping between strategies.
How he runs it now:
• One position size for 3 months. Any change is a discipline problem
• Prop trading is a business, with its own company and its own card
• One prop firm until it pays out, then spread across firms
• Early payouts go back into accounts and an emergency fund

Matteo Conti spent 7 years at one of Europe's largest banks, running €15 billion a year.
Now he teaches retail traders to treat a prop firm challenge like a business, with a plan tested in simulations before any money goes in.
Most people buy a challenge and hope.

2. Count your mistakes
One trader counted every repeated mistake in their journal.
Near the top: entering before the candle closed.
Wait for the close to confirm. It saves a lot of losing trades.
Umar Ashraf has made 8 figures trading.
He says it took him 8 years. It should have taken 3 to 5.
The extra years went into skipping stages he didn't know existed.
Here are the 5 stages every trader goes through 🧵
Stage 5: Consistent profitability
The stage everyone wants.
And the one most traders try to jump straight to, skipping the four before it.
