Most trade journals act like you have one account. If you trade prop firms you have a dozen: evals, funded, live, and a few you blew up last month. So I built a journal for NinjaTrader 8 around that. It's free. Thread:

Be careful. Seeing lots of furus coming out to say how bad Lanto to imply they are not as bad only to redirect you to use their code, join their groups, gain new followers, etc. While they might be worthy of a follow be cautious if you weren’t already. Take extra measures to vet everyone.

Optimized the Financial Juice Reskin with faster AI insights and better overall performance. In my opinion it’s a must have tool if you subscribe to their service. It’s free so why not try it out. Also, let me know if there’s a way it can be improved. chromewebstore.google.com/de…

Good on Vest for banning Lanto after the Account 819 slip. If the low-spend screenshots and code SMART hype influenced you, report it at reportfraud.ftc.gov — hiding real costs while promoting big payouts can violate FTC Section 5 and the Endorsement Guides. Time to start showing these scammers they need to stop scamming.

Any Auction Market Theory futures traders here interested in trading live together daily? My trading buddy is no longer available, and I’m looking for like-minded traders to join me. Maybe brainstorm or build some trading tools when the market’s slow.

Didn’t follow my rules well today but somehow I’m basically flat and all accounts survived.

Just added a 10k Vest account and passed it in a few days. Slippage is not great so I used limits 80% of the time. Had to run a neg R:R and trimmed along the way. Once I pay for the account I'll scale up and see how it goes. There are lots of pros and cons to these accounts but if I can have a positive ROI I will live with the cons.

I remember when my son was learning to ride a bike. That was 17 years ago. This is him now ripping 150 mph around Charlotte Motor Speedway in a race truck. Love seeing my kids growing up and living life.

Feedback from a happy journal user. I originally built it for me and didn't know if others would like it as much as I do so It's nice to hear others are enjoying it as well.

And just like that, levels, price, and structure don’t matter. It’s perps, get used to it. Just trade and make money. Kidding aside, it’s a great payout model for us traders but I’m still betting on products that lean on the CME data long term.
