Earlier today, I posted a blog saying I was done trading for the day. I had already gone green early and walked away like I always do — locked in profit, stayed disciplined, and stuck to my system.
But then something happened.
While I was at Outback eating lunch, a headline flashed across the screen:
That’s not just global chaos — that’s market fuel.
If you trade NASDAQ futures like I do, this kind of drama is a flashing neon sign.
Bigger the drama, bigger the fuel. Bigger the fire.
Drama = Volatility. Volatility = Structure. Structure = Your Shot.
I don’t chase trades. I don’t guess. I don’t throw darts at price action.
I wait for movement. I wait for volatility. Then I check my charts.
And if I see the market reacting — if there’s volume, momentum, and clean structure forming — then and only then do I act.
This is where the 2-minute Break of Structure (2M BOS) comes in.
It’s not about the news itself.
It’s about how the market reacts to that news.
And today, it reacted fast.
The Result: $1,049.10 Across Five Funded Accounts
Once the headline hit, I pulled up my charts and waited. I saw the structure forming.
The reaction was clear.
I executed one BOS setup. One trade. Clean. Controlled. No overtrading.
And that one disciplined entry helped me crush my Topstep daily goal of $200 per account, which is part of their 30-day rule for unlocking daily withdrawals once I go live.
Here’s the breakdown:
| Account | Balance | Profit Today |
|---|---|---|
| Leader Account 1 | $9,375.34 | $209.82 |
| Highest Account | $9,598.10 | $209.82 |
| Account 3 | $9,511.84 | $209.82 |
| Account 4 | $9,567.34 | $209.82 |
| Account 5 | $9,531.38 | $209.82 |
| ???? Daily Total | $1,049.10 |
Total across all five funded accounts: $47,584.02
My Rules Didn’t Change — The Conditions Did
Earlier today, I said I was done.
And I meant it.
But when the world drops a headline like that, everything changes.
This isn’t emotional trading — it’s responsive trading.
You don’t jump into a slow, sideways market just because you’re bored.
You wait. You stay flat. You protect your capital.
But when the fuel hits — when the volatility kicks in — you go check your charts.
If the NASDAQ is moving with structure, you step in and do what you’re trained to do.
If You Want to Be Profitable, Don’t Guess — Wait for the Fire
Consistency isn’t about predicting the future.
It’s about preparing for it.
The 2-minute BOS strategy works because it waits for structure.
And structure only forms when the market cares — when there’s something real going on.
I don’t need to win every trade.
I don’t even need a high win rate.
My win rate is just over 54%, and yet I’ve pulled in over $9,598 in one of my Topstep accounts since starting in March.
Started below zero.
Now pushing toward five figures.
Why? Because I don’t chase the market. I ride the wave when the fire hits.
Final Word: Ride to Your Target, Then Sail Away
Once I see fuel, I go to the charts.
If structure is breaking, I execute.
I ride to my target.
And then I sail away with the money.
This is what I do.
This is how I trade NASDAQ futures.
And this is how I pushed to $1,049.10 in one afternoon across five small-risk accounts — with nothing but rules, patience, and timing.
If you want consistent results, stop forcing trades.
Wait for drama.
Wait for fuel.
Then do your job.
