THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MY TRADING STYLE

🔸 My bias changes intraday.
🔸 My stop loss is dynamic, no 1:1 or 2:1.
🔸 I'm a scalper, most often focused on shorter-time frames.

This is a technical science. I trade scalping strategies based on my own interpretation of price action and technical analysis, rather than momentum trading or chasing price. I day trade NASDAQ futures and forward test during the NY a.m. trading session.

ABOUT ME

💌 I'm Gaia Futures. I've started from nothing. Nothing at all. No money. No financial knowledge. But I'm finally in a place where I see the puzzle pieces falling into place. I want to document and share my journey from zero to success. I say this confidently, because I will continue to rise and persevere no matter how many times I fall.

The goal is to make a living from day trading, then make trading a lucrative business of my own. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION.

If you're alone on this day trading journey, like I am, know that there's someone across the city, country, world who is working and fighting just as hard as you are to make this a reality. It's me. I'm here.

HOW THIS STREAM WORKS

🔸 I search for NQ trade set-ups live.
🔸 No set-up? No trade.
🔸 Live commentary in chat [but maybe this time I'll just unmute my mic... I'm pretty awkward though... you've been warned!!].
🔸 All forward testing is done on TradingView [LIVE, not replay].

WHY GAIA FUTURES

📟 You will see the highs and lows of my day trading journey in real time. I'm treating this as a live video journal. [Yes, this means you will witness both wins AND losses alike].
📟 No overtrading. Although I'm forward testing, I will ONLY enter trades that have some kind of basis or trade entry setup. This means taking the best trading setups only ie. having PATIENCE while I allow the stock market to trade to key price levels.
📟 Get a real-time look at my NASDAQ trades.
📟 Join me on my path to becoming a successful day trader.

What to expect from this channel: no fluff, no b.s., no fake results—just me, live nasdaq charts, and a whole lot of coffee.
