Very challenging two weeks but fun nevertheless ! Let's do it again when conditions become much clearer! Happy with the outcome and happy to see you starting to see consistent results through tons of screentime!
@@vratar3104The last week or two has been stuck in a trading range where bulls and bears are pushing hard to control the price, so it doesn't have a clear direction. See the long wicks on the one minute candles? It's very hard to trade in these conditions. Daniel was using a 5 minute chart at one point to get a clearer picture, but it's still just trying to hit your stop loss constantly.
seeing your progress through the past 2 years from you videos is really awesome, you can see how you react differently to each win and loss with a more strategical mindset and not letting your emotions take as much control. I also believe the pressure of this being a challenge may have pushed you even the tiniest to get great trades when you can get good ones easily enough just for the content. thanks for the fun progress videos and keep climbing!
You guys did great. Excellent editing as well. Just a few recommendations for future challenges. It would be nice if your opponent was showing a live P&L. Also for anyone who missed it Daniel was playing 1-2 contracts(500-1000 shares) and Carmine's chart showed 15 contacts(7,500 shares) per entry. Anyone playing over 10x the size should be able to 10x the other person. If Daniel had used equal sizing he would have made close to 30k and won. Also for context, Carmine caught the equivalent of just over 3 dollars worth of SPY movement in 2 weeks or 30 cents per day(average) using 7500 shares. Props to him for building up that much size tolerance and being quick to take stops because most know one emotionally bad day of trading with that size and you wreck weeks and even months of profit. Most people will be way more comfortable passing 10 prop firm challenges with someone like APEX and then trade copying across the accounts with a 50-200 dollar per day target. It is a lot easier and safer doing this to make 500-2000 a day with 3-5 MES and MQN contracts rather than one account with 3-5 ES or NQ contracts but to each his own. I look forward to the next video Sir.
Great analysis man. I couldnt agree more with your take on spreading the risk/sizing across accounts. I only figured that out a few months ago and its been the best decision ive ever made. The important thing to realize is, small gains add up! People go for 500-1000 a day, then end up blowing accounts left and right. Doing the math on 50-100 a day over a couple months can be huge!
Yes but from what I can see their trading strategies are also different: one was risking 2pts on es, one was risking like 10 on the nq so you wouldn't always trade the same number of contracts depending on your strategy. like if you were trading the h4 you would put less contracts and expect more movement than the 1min
You are correct Sir. The strategies were somewhat different but I was speaking more on the challenge aspect. For example, if I challenged you to a 1/4 mile race and I had a V8 Hellcat and you had a V4 Honda Accord needless to say no matter what your racing strategy is it wouldn't be a challenge. Carmine was using the V8 of leverage while Daniel was using the 4 banger. Granted the 4-cylinder will get you where you are going safer but in a quick challenge it has no hope against the size of the V8 unless the V8 just wrecks bad. @@konstantinDgospodinov. A fair challenge for these situations is capped size because one of the ignored contexts for traders who love to share profits is the size they used and how much of a move they caught in SPY dollar terms. Carmine and Daniel both grabbed right around 3 dollars worth of SPY profit over 10 days. Another way to break it down is they both averaged 30 cents of SPY profit per day which to be honest can be picked up with most strategies on the internet with proper risk management. To share a trading nugget in my opinion most futures traders will be way more successful if they learn to trade ES/NQ primarily off of SPY levels. If your goal is precision in your trading the SPY is night and day more precise. I can easily prove that in 5 minutes of chart comparison. Hopefully, ones like Carmine catch on to that at some point because it will make catching his 30 cents per day in profit a lot easier for him.
Excellent video! So much improvement on your end, Daniel! Way more calm and collected which is allowing you to stay patient and trust your intuition! You'll be trading like Carmine before you know it!
Daniel, one of the best video's I have watch on trading futures in a long, long time! Very familiar with Carmine Rosato and your channel. What I really liked, you two going head to head, and getting to hear what you two were thinking and struggling with on each trade. Learned a lot from both your commentary and Carmine's. Thanks!
i like the break even rule for the 20 points but if i can give a little hint do not use a fix number to define a break even time. instead use a ratio comparated to your loss. 20 points can be a lot for one trade or can be really little. in my scenario example i look for 2/1 risk reward. i would move my stop loss in break even at 1/1...
The student doing as well or better is a HUGE Testament to the teacher. It's one thing for the teacher to do well. The point is for the student to do well. As long as this video is not cherry picked. AWESOME! THANK YOU!
This was very very entertaining to watch, especially because it showed live trades and reaction/consideration during the trades. Hope to see more of this.
My journey of trading futures started with your video with TBM and so far I consider it one of the top 5 best thing I did with my life. I truly hope someone else will watch this new updated version and start his/her journey as funded trader. Thank you Daniel!
Love your videos. I loved the first challenge as well. I am glad I subbed and check out your development from time to time, as well as your videos where you share your thoughts. It is inspiring.
These videos are phenomenal. Thank you for taking time to breakdown each of these trades. It's heartwarming (and heartbreaking) to see the commonality in thought process during trade execution and management. Cheers to your improvement and dedication to this brutal and rewarding endeavor. 🍻
Getting stopped out for breakeven on a winner is a large part of the game. I dont like rules where as soon as im up x amount i set it to breakeven. You want your stop WHERE IT MAKES SENSE. if you are really worried about losing that much you can just trail the position out tighter and reenter off of the pullback assuming price doesnt invalidate your idea (the stop that makes sense. Your stop should always be based off of some kind of structure, it seems to me like you are setting your stop to breakeven in a place where you should probably be tightening the stop to maybe -.5R in the grand scheme of things a -.5R isnt that much to give the trade a chance to actually work especially if your risk reward is good and you think theres a good chance you could run 5R or more. By the time you move your stop to breakeven you should be far away from that market structure, you entered the trade because there eas market structure there, price is frequently going to come back and test that structure. You do not want to get stopped out at the nearest market structure (which happens to be your entry, and by necessity also your breakeven stop)
i really love this type of videos and the quality and attention u put into making them. Also been watching most of ur videos, the progress is just huge. keep up ur really going in the right direction.
Hi i am ttying to use the bookmap software and its been a nightmare to setup, i trade gold mainly and i cant seem to figure out how to get data for gold on bookmap
Your evolution comparing with the challenge against TBM is clear to me. Hope to see you build up your consistency even more and also your confidence on your analysis. We all struggle with it sometimes and to see people like us getting consistent and profitable over time is overwhelming. Keep up the good work and for sure you will achieve your goals.
For the next challenge you should set the winning conditions in points based as opposed to dollar value as i thought that Carmine was more leveraged than you were, makes for a more interesting and levelled playing field, love the head to head challenges! Great work to both traders :)
Love the transparency from @DanielInskeep....Can't say the same from the FURU not showing the PnL balance during each "trade", why does not surprise me!
Try using the 5-minute chart as your lowest time frame instead of the 1-minute so you aren't setting your stops too tight, trailing your stop pre-maturely and just over trading in general. Think about this, you only need 0-3 good trades per day to make consistent profits; so why do you need to look at the 1-minute chart unless you're scalping (which you;re not)? Also keep a higher time frame chart like the 30-minute or hourly so you don't keep trading against an obvious higher level trend. Just my 2 cents from what helped me turn things around.
Was literally just thinking the other day how amazing another video like this would be, now that you've have solid experience behind you. Love the videos keep it up!!
Daniel, you are an inspiration! Thank you, your videos give hope that trading style is possible. I've been learning for past year and half, about to switch from demo to live
Great vid dude, can’t speak in carmine since I’ve heard some negative stuff, but since that’s someone you look up to, great job being able to go head to head, I haven’t finished yet but so far based on you getting stopped out see if you like moving your SL to the lows that were created in the move and only moving it every time there’s a new high or low created that would’ve saved you at least the first two trade sessions where you got stopped out and it’s a price action strategy
Hi Daniel, new subscriber here! I'm loving these "Trader head to head" series. I've been in the markets for 6 years and close to profitability. In the future, would you be willing to create a series where you go against subscribers?
I think looking into the concept of liquidity would help you more than volume. I don’t wanna sound like an ict fanboy but ict is a pretty good teacher on this, there are also a lot of guys who summarize ict stuff. I also think carmine’s edge is mostly due to his experience and psychology. He manages his trades really well with no hesitations, was very fun to see.
Halfway through video and I think you can benefit from some more concepts that carmine teaches. You don't have to go full orderflow like he does, but some of the concepts sure do help. High volume areas are very very very important.
I love these type of trading challenge videos as a trader myself i dont see too many head to head type trading competitions mainly because its all real money lmao but i love to see the content 🤟💌
@Wobby27 A swing trader who trades entirely via indicators, trendlines, and chart patterns. Basically we let the chart tell us when to enter, as opposed to day trading, which is more subjective.
@Henkepenk There is no human component in my trading system. And the parameters are based on technical conditions with proven profitability, like MACD crosses. There's as much instinct involved as there is betting black on a roulette wheel with 20 blacks, 19 red, and no zeroes.
@@TenTonNuke: Thanks for the clarification. Sounds like it can be perfectly automated by a trading bot. Then there is absolutely no human factor involved. I still wonder if that strategy really works on the long run, though.
Great analysis. I love the emotional aspects you guys went through in trading makes it reassuring to me that I’m not the only one that goes through it 😂
Have to look at p&l in % and it doesn't matter what the account sizing is. If you're both risking in % then by mathematical definition your gain would also be proportionally equal in way of R ratio... I'll watch to the end and check it that way but that would level the account size difference because trading is all about % not $ 🤓
I love watching you trade, you are very honest and transparent. I would much rather see you trading than someone who knows what they are doing. It nice to see your emotional reaction to your mistakes and bad habits.
I like how at like 18:50 he says "stick to your plan" and then like 2 minutes later, "i'm out of this trade". Next thing you know "my original TP was just hit". I laughed way too hard at that. Don't we all know that feeling of letting emotions cloud your judgement. But it was funny here, cause he preaches the rules (as an 8 year pro) but deviates anyway, cause we all are not robots, but humans with emotions ;)
You're doing great @danielinskeep! Your progress isn't going unnoticed. Keep it up man! I'm also an amateur. I do have funded accounts with Topstep and Apex and would thoroughly enjoy a friendly amateur face off. How would I go about getting ahold of you? Hope to hear back from you !
Both of you are absolute legends! Keep up the great work! Love the transparency. Hey Daniel quick question, using Tradezella, does motivewave automatically work or do you need to import csv?
This video very motivated, I like how you kept your money transparent to show wins and lost , I had my own funded account 2 years ago n blew it when the market shutter a bit , this year I’m dedicated to get back into it this time !!!
Daniel, it's been very encouraging following your trading journey and seeing your much improved trading from the first challenge with Matt! Keep it up and thanks for all the videos and knowledge you share that we get to enjoy for free !
Daniel , I see you start trading before 9:30 every day VS carmine trading after 9:30, do you see any difference between your trading times ? I always trader after 9:30 , don’t you feels that before 9:30 has fewer volume ?
Hey Daniel, what are your delta footprint chart parameters? I would like to copy that to my delta chart as well or if possible can you share your layout so that I can download it
@@DanielInskeepNice! I’ve been wanting to trade options on futures after 5 years of options experience. Can you point me in the right direction? Opened up a top step account to build as a lil side of my main account but I don’t think quantower supports future options
Always a great job on your edits. However have you ever considered scalping for 10-20pts under the choppy conditions? You gave back 3 20pt winners on one con for BE that would’ve been a 1200 day. Just curious your thoughts. Your overall goal was to make 60pts why not just shoot for 20 and get out?
This 7-8 point than go Break even.. I like that idea.. Although I usually make sure I get at least point 1 above break even to pay for the fees. It's a interesting rule to have.
Interesting that all the projections, all the reasons, all the analysis often simply doesn't work. Bookmap gives you a picture of where strength and weakness is..and that with Time and Sales is probably the best edge you can have. But..IMO If you look for the long candles that don't back up..the momentum and time of day..and never, ever trade around the 200 SMA or in the middle between yr. supply and demand.
Very challenging two weeks but fun nevertheless !
Let's do it again when conditions become much clearer! Happy with the outcome and happy to see you starting to see consistent results through tons of screentime!
this was fun - thanks for being a part of it!

You're doing great @danielinskeep! Your progress isn't going unnoticed. Keep it up man! I'm also an amateur. I do have funded accounts with Topstep and Apex and would thoroughly enjoy a friendly amateur face off. How would I go about getting ahold of you? Hope to hear back from you !
LEAPS AND BOUNDS OF PROGRESS, DANIEL! love it
Both of you are absolute legends! Keep up the great work! Love the transparency. Hey Daniel quick question, using Tradezella, does motivewave automatically work or do you need to import csv?
i import csv
Absolutely AWESOME Vid. One of the best genuine live trading videos I've ever seen.
This video very motivated, I like how you kept your money transparent to show wins and lost , I had my own funded account 2 years ago n blew it when the market shutter a bit , this year I’m dedicated to get back into it this time !!!
Does anybody know what tool they use to record the trading sessions/ edit fast forward?
you can record your screen with OBS. my videos are edited in adobe premiere, but any video editing app can speed up footage.
Daniel, it's been very encouraging following your trading journey and seeing your much improved trading from the first challenge with Matt! Keep it up and thanks for all the videos and knowledge you share that we get to enjoy for free !
thanks man!
What website is that where they get all those stats on there trading days?
tradezella
Please do more of these.
Daniel , I see you start trading before 9:30 every day VS carmine trading after 9:30, do you see any difference between your trading times ? I always trader after 9:30 , don’t you feels that before 9:30 has fewer volume ?
i was on pacific time during this challenge.
I have the same problem, too many shorts, not enough longs. I feel your pain. I'm working on it too.
I like the audio and video quality in your video.
thanks!
Hey Daniel, what are your delta footprint chart parameters? I would like to copy that to my delta chart as well or if possible can you share your layout so that I can download it
how can i get that style of level 2 i like the visual detail
any program that has a heat map feature
@@DanielInskeepNice! I’ve been wanting to trade options on futures after 5 years of options experience. Can you point me in the right direction? Opened up a top step account to build as a lil side of my main account but I don’t think quantower supports future options
Always a great job on your edits. However have you ever considered scalping for 10-20pts under the choppy conditions? You gave back 3 20pt winners on one con for BE that would’ve been a 1200 day. Just curious your thoughts. Your overall goal was to make 60pts why not just shoot for 20 and get out?
Just passed my first challenge today 🎉
Congratulations!! I remember my first time passing last month. I just got my first payout. Keep pushing !!
congrats!
Piease ask him to show long term broker statements, just to you , not general public .
This 7-8 point than go Break even.. I like that idea.. Although I usually make sure I get at least point 1 above break even to pay for the fees. It's a interesting rule to have.
Do you know how much fees they pay in the video? I tried to find this information but could not.
@@usamamuhammad4573depends on your broker. round trip for me is $4.36 w/ topstep.
Interesting that all the projections, all the reasons, all the analysis often simply doesn't work. Bookmap gives you a picture of where strength and weakness is..and that with Time and Sales is probably the best edge you can have. But..IMO If you look for the long candles that don't back up..the momentum and time of day..and never, ever trade around the 200 SMA or in the middle between yr. supply and demand.
