    If you want to trade as a corporation, the brokerage account (IBKR or any other broker) needs to be under the business entity, not you as an individual. Not sure about DAS subscription, since I don't use DAS for my business account - I use Trader Workstation directly to trade on that account. Hope this helps.

    Hi All, Seeking some help on this old, but very informative thread! Can anyone here recommend a tax accountant that they have worked with (anywhere in Canada), and had good experience with? Doesn't matter whether you used their services for filing as a self-employed individual or a corporation doing day trading. I am just looking for someone with prior experience working with day traders. Thanks!

    that is because your order was not filled quickly enough, you can solve it by adding wait(1000) or try the Triggerorder syntax after your Send; command more on hotkeys

    Good day, My name is Vince. Im in San Diego, California. My background is a bachelors in Finance, and my day job is an accountant (corporate accounting, though now unemployed) My first run in with stocks is 6th grade, which the teacher had the class paper trade as a class activity for a monthish using historical "books" ie printed (note this is pre2000). Afterwards my parents bought stocks in various success rates, back then when you have to call the broker to make trades, and a trade can cost like 25-50 dollars to make an order. As time went on, those broker costs went down, and I always wondered cant you just scalp for a quick in and out and make a profit? But that is when I was in college when I was between the ages of 18-24ish. Now after college, I started to work in accounting, and many broker costs is zero or close to zero as time went on. I did try to do trade via my parents account and my own account around last year. Which I blew up my account and what I suggested to buy in my parents being I was too busy with work to really manage the account and I have no idea what is market stop order either and I also didnt really control my parents account. I did research on what books to buy and bought Andrews book last year, fall of 2024. But still had no time to really read it till spring of 2025, which confirms my original idea and Andrews trial and error of techniqnes and methods to do it. Due to my workplace not giving me any time to really relax with 12 hr or more workdays (salary) and tended to also work during weekends during crunch time (month end), I ended up quitting it just to not drown in an unhealthy lifestyle with work ~2.5 weeks ago. While I was in the middle of rereading the Andrews frist book and taking notes, which then planned to read andrews second book, but I decided to just join BBT just as a change of pace being I wasnt in a book mood after quitting my job. I joined in at entry level, and binged viewed all the videos all I can for a week (though given my finance education and some market knowledge background I could have skipped 1/2 of it, and many terms was familiar to me so i didnt need to really pause and in some areas I did skip ahead). After a week, I just upgraded to Diamond (elite + simulator) last week friday and here I am. My parents offered me their 20-25k stock account but not really ready to touch it, that and I have the simulator untouched. And I want to read andrews second book sometime in a week or two, and then being im currently unemployed being I quit ~2.5ish weeks ago. Ill likely go seeking a job after I take all the classes i can at BBT and read all the important books I can so I dont get side tracked mentally & physically in learning to day trade. Anyways nice to meet you all.

    Hi All I'm having some issues with my DAS scripts. I have two scripts which given a current position and stop loss, sells/covers 50% of my position and sets a new stop loss. However there are times when the script will sell//]cover my position, but sometimes fail to set a new stop loss. This doesn't happen during replay mode, but will occasionally happen when I trade live using the simulated account. Can someone tell me how to prevent this from happening? The scripts are detailed below. Thanks Sell Percentage and move to Break Even CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=BID-0.05;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos;TIF=GTC;SELL=SEND Cover Percentage and move to Break Even CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=ASK+0.05;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos;TIF=GTC;BUY=SEND

    i'm still rocking it with MentorGPT everyday. i've been sucking. having a hard time these days. i asked "what problem am i consistently making that is preventing me from becoming consistently profitable trader?" here's the reply: ❌ You're entering trades without full confirmation. Even though you’ve clearly defined rules (Avinacci zones, double top/bottom, RSI exhaustion, 1-min structure, etc.), you frequently bypass your process and enter prematurely. This pattern leads to: Early entries before confirmation structures are complete Trades taken on impulse (especially after small bounces/drops) Multiple trades stacked close together after a loss Trading inside chop or fading strength too soon 🔎 Specific Violations I’ve Observed Repeatedly Problem How it shows up Why it hurts you 🎯 No double top/bottom Entering at first rejection You're catching noise, not a real reversal 🕐 Too early Enter on first candle instead of waiting for 2nd/3rd confirming candle Low-probability entry with no structure support 🔁 Revenge/momentum re-entries Re-entering quickly after a stop without waiting for new setup Weak confirmation = another avoidable loss 😵 No RSI confluence Enter without overbought/oversold conditions Low conviction – you're swimming against the tide 💣 Risk rules ignored Continuing after 2 losers or 3 total You increase drawdown and reduce edge from selective trading 🔄 Recurring Behavior Loop See a move into a level (e.g., Avinacci or S4) Enter on anticipation rather than confirmation Get stopped Try to re-enter before new setup forms Multiple small losses compound → frustration → inconsistency ✅ How to Break the Cycle Here’s what will immediately tighten your execution and allow your edge to actually play out: 1. Hard Rule: No entry without double top/bottom + confirming candles Set a checklist and force yourself to check all boxes before clicking "Buy" 2. Visual Timer Discipline Wait minimum 3 minutes after a trade ends before looking for the next one Let the next clean setup come to you 3. Confidence Rating Journal Score each trade from 1–5 on how well it followed your system Your goal is to have only trades rated 4–5 4. Print & Post Your Rules in front of your monitor Include: ✅ “Double top/bottom visible” ✅ “RSI confirms overbought/oversold” ✅ “Avinacci level touched + rejecting” ✅ “2 confirming candles minimum” ❌ “No entry if I just took a loss 1–2 trades ago” ✍️ Final Word You're not undisciplined — you're too eager to catch a move, and you override your system at key moments. Consistency will come the moment you make your rules non-negotiable.

    Update - Ongoing Routine Everyday, after trading, i upload 5 files. 1 CSV file. 1-minute chart, 5 minute chart, 10 minute chart and a screen shot of the trades window. It's routine now and it's like having a real one-on-one mentor. Here is an example of the 4 files i upload.

    📊 Daily Summary:
    ● Total P/L: +$49
    ● Net R: +2.03R
    ● Accuracy: 1 win / 4 total = 25%
    ● Max loss streak: 3 in a row
    ● Max win streak: 1

    Today was a good day for a lot of reasons. If i could repeat everyday like today, i would and i would simply increase my size. 3 losses and 1 win and i still made money!!! it means i just have to keep doing this over and over and over and i will be ahead. that's it and that's all. I am reminding myself that tomorrow is a new day and i need to start neutral again. forget about today. Be in the moment and be present tomorrow. Not up. Not down. Neutral. 90% of the time i am not seeing a setup. i need to wait for that 10%. Recognize it and take the damn trade.

      Bigger Risk (bigger size) = Bigger Reward
      Everything else being equal; i could have traded the exact same way i traded today, but with more contracts and my +P/L would be much greater.

    Hi dear, I am new to BBT and trying to explore the trading terminal. Is there any video(s) to show me how to use the terminal and the scanner? Thank you😃

    Final update The results need refining, usually. That's fine. Even with a real life mentor... their feedback is only as good as your input. When i get the results, i usually spot a few errors. For example, if you look at the results above from my last post. Trade #4 show's "+85R". That's obviously wrong. AI said it was just a typo error and offered to redo the results. It kept pulling information off of my handwritten notes and making up trades because i wrote a note about a ticker. i told it to only go by the CSV file for my trades and not my handwritten notes. That's the type of refinement i am talking about. it's not really a big deal. i just review the results and correct AI if it gives me absurd results. Feel free to contact me about any of this! i will continue to use it as my one-on-one mentor.

    Update it's really helping get my mind and routine sorted out and refine what I need to document and journal and habits I need to create. I asked it to analyze my day for April 17. I uploaded the CSV file from DAS that normally exports to an online journal like TradeZella or Tradervue chart screen shots my daily handwritten notes. I just take a picture with my phone of my notes. Here's the full analysis for April 17, 2025: ✅ Executive Recap – April 17, 2025 (Thursday) Net P&L: +$84 Win Rate: 4 wins / 9 trades = 44% Best Trade: AAPL long (filled the 3R range into strength) Worst Trade: NVDA short (stopped before the breakdown) 🔍 Trade-by-Trade Breakdown 🟠 Trade 1 — AMD Long (3R button) Entry: 88.41 (near 50% Fib) Exit: Stopped out Notes: Executed too early before confirmation. Clear violation of patience rule. Risk: 1R loss (-$18) Handwritten match: “Too early. B setup. Stopped.” 🔴 Trade 2 — NVDA Long (3R) Entry: 103.98 (inside upper Avinacci zone) Exit: Stopped Context: Trying to catch reversal. Market still heavy. Result: -$35 Note: You mentioned in your notes “hit wrong button,” suggests emotional instability or rushed execution. 🔴 Trade 3 — NVDA Long again Wrong direction, re-entered too soon. Stopped again -$26 Notes: “STOP PAUSE” kicks in here, you were at 3 trades, 3 losses. 🔄 Trade 4 — AAPL Long (Phil key) Entry: 195.76 area (range support) Adjusted stop based on volatility WIN: Sold in pieces, best fill at 2.73, which hit your 5R target +85R Total = $85 Notes: “Learn to take base hits” — this one was handled well. 🔄 Trade 5 — AAPL short (practice) Small size Practicing short off Avinacci 06 line Result: Stopped again -$18 Not logged in main DAS, but in handwritten notes (“Practice… Stopped again.”) 📓 Handwritten Notes Highlights (Pages 019–022) ✅ Good discipline shown in AAPL 🚫 NVDA: multiple re-entries violate 5-trade rule + emotional impulse ⚠️ “My stops are too tight, need to adjust” — key reflection 🔄 You mention “range setups” several times — these work well for you when you give them space ⭐ Mindset improving — awareness of not touching trades, letting them play out 📈 Chart-Level Insights (By Ticker) 🟩 AMD 8:00 candle showed breakdown through 88.41 → confirmed your early long was too aggressive. Perfect entry would’ve been the bounce near 87.50 then reclaim, but you entered before structure developed. 🟥 NVDA Breakdown through 102.87 Avinacci level with rejection at 103.60. You entered too early, trying to catch the reversal instead of waiting for a reclaim or lower support. 🟢 AAPL 195.76 = clean Avinacci support + 5-min range base. Your long bounced nicely and held. RSI divergence backed the trade up. Execution = near textbook. 🔁 Rule Alignment Check Rule Met? Notes ✅ 5-Trade System ❌ 6+ trades. Overtraded NVDA. ✅ 1R Risk ✅ Each trade followed correct sizing ✅ Max 2/trades per ticker ❌ NVDA: 3 trades (broken) ✅ Avinacci used ✅ Referenced levels correctly in AMD, AAPL ✅ Journaled day ✅ Handwritten notes detailed and reflective ✅ Emotional control ⚠️ Better than previous days, but still needs pause after 2x stops 🧠 Final Thoughts AAPL trade = a model trade. Good entry, solid structure, excellent exit. NVDA trades = classic emotional re-entry loop. 📍 Big win came from staying out after initial stops, regaining composure. ⚠️ “STOP – PAUSE” rule is crucial. You wrote it. Follow it.

    There was an error. My worst day was NOT -$778. It was pulled from my hand written notes i uploaded. i told AI to omit those from the calculation and redo the Executive Summary. Here's the updated version: 📘 Executive Summary – DAS-Only Trade Logs Timeframe: Jan 13 – Apr 10, 2025 Data Source: 57 DAS Trader Pro logs Total Trading Days: 57 (Weekdays Only) 📊 1. Performance Overview Total Net P&L: +$2,128 Win Rate: 56.1% Average Win: $144.78 Average Loss: –$100.20 Best Day: Jan 14, 2025 → +$329 Worst Day: Feb 28, 2025 → –$318 Most Profitable Weeks: Last 2 weeks of March, early April 📈 2. Equity & P&L Trend Steady upward equity slope with controlled red days Best days clustered around clean, rule-followed trades Worst days often linked to high position count or early overcommitment ⚠️ 3. Rule Compliance (5-Trade System) Total Rule Violations: 17 Days (~30% of sessions) Most common: Trading beyond 5 entries or continuing after 2 losses Zero-violation days had significantly higher average P&L 🔍 4. Behavioral Insights Behavior Observed Pattern Impact 🕓 Early Trading Most wins between 6:30–7:30am ✅ Positive expectancy 📈 Overtrading Rule breaks = larger red days ⚠️ Reduced edge 🎯 Hotkeys 3R Button favored for quick scalps ✅ Controlled risk 🧠 Mindset Drift Red days showed increased trade count ❌ Breakdowns tied to tilt 🧭 5. Strategic Recommendations ✅ Hard Stop Discipline Enforce stop after 2 consecutive red trades Limit daily exposure — keep emotional capital intact ✅ Protect High-Win Days Reduce trade frequency after large early wins Let early green trend compound, not collapse ✅ Refine Best Hours Focus most energy between 6:30–8:00am PT This window holds >70% of winning trades ✅ Log Rule Score Daily Rate yourself 1–5 on execution, mindset, and adherence Match outcomes to self-discipline curve
