Day Trader's $10K Goal: Strategy and Real-Time Trades

Summary

A day trader reveals their entire trading process, aiming for a ten thousand dollar profit by risking two thousand dollars per trade. The strategy involves using TradingView with indicators like Lux Algo fair value gaps and smart money concepts, along with a custom IT foundation indicator for session windows. Macro analysis focuses on Bitcoin's bearish sentiment. The trader watches Solana and Ethereum for trade setups, looking for fifteen-minute fair value gaps to enter on the one-minute timeframe. Early trades on Ethereum resulted in break-even or losses, highlighting frustrating "barcode" price action. A significant trade on Ethereum later yielded about four thousand dollars profit due to an accidental early take-profit, followed by re-entry and further gains. Another profitable trade on Ethereum captured seven thousand four hundred dollars, bringing the day's total to seven thousand two hundred fifteen dollars. Despite not reaching the initial ten thousand dollar goal, the trader emphasizes risk management and patience, concluding the day with a thirty-three percent win rate and acknowledging opportunities left on the table.
