The meeting focused on performance evaluations, trading strategies, psychological aspects of trading, and process improvements for the boot camp members of the trading group.
Key discussions included reviews of individual trader results, lessons in range engineering/trade setups, and the importance of psychological discipline and recovery plans.
Updates were provided on trading tools, specifically the "gunship" algorithm and daily profile analytics, with emphasis on improvements and ongoing development.
Attendees included both veteran and new boot camp members, with contributions from lead mentors and several traders.
Action Items
No specific due dates or individual action item assignments were mentioned in the transcript. General next steps for group members include:
Continue daily participation in live trading sessions and boot camp learning activities.
Boot camp members should practice and apply live price reading and range engineering techniques as instructed.
Ongoing documentation and tracking of trading performance as the boot camp progresses.
Await further instructions and housekeeping items to be shared in tomorrow's session.
Performance Review & Trader Updates
Major positive recoveries and consistent performances were highlighted:
Vega demonstrated a strong recovery after an initial loss and followed her stop protocol.
Thor, Victor, Greg, Wagner, Chris George, Eli Friedkins, Dre, Diego, DBT Dave, D, Wayne, Josh, Danny Walker, Dell Gordon, Mr. OD9, Carl Hungus, NJ, Melo, Miller78, Trader Surfer for Chris, and Mr. Connor were all individually recognized for their daily results, consistency, or notable improvements.
Emphasis was placed on the value of transparent loss reporting and adherence to recovery plans.
Trading Strategy & Range Engineering Lessons
Detailed walkthrough of the "range engineering" method focusing on the 9:30 to 10:00 window, use of statistical ranges (e.g., 50% of previous hours), alert and confirmation logic for reversals, and hourly structure analysis.
Boot camp members were quizzed on alert/confirmation procedures and were encouraged to practice tactical patience and data-driven decision making.
Use of 15-minute increments and the 05 box for trade evaluations, with specific attention to identifying statistical highs/lows and daily market classification.
Psychological Discipline & Trading Mindset
Alpha Bravo and Austin shared personal experiences about handling technical issues, missed trades, and the importance of stepping away to avoid revenge trading.
Discussion focused on the critical role of psychological discipline, including knowing when to stop trading, resetting psychological “edge,” and treating trading performance like a business.
Group leaders reinforced the importance of maturity, self-awareness, and following a set trading plan, especially during suboptimal periods.
Trading Tools & Process Improvements
Updates on the "gunship" algorithm and daily profiling tools:
Review of recent performance in oil and 6E trades, discussing how the tools provide objective movements and help filter trade opportunities.
Plans to further refine and adapt algorithms for tracking performance across sessions and time zones.
Ongoing documentation and tracking for current and future boot camp classes preparing for algorithm completion (mid-August to early September timeline).
Adjustments in premarket analysis procedures were discussed, including a shift to wait for New York 1 direction at 8:30 before making key decisions.
Decisions
Maintain and reinforce psychological trading discipline — The group will continue to emphasize systems, recovery protocols, and personal accountability to support consistent, long-term success.
Continue development and performance tracking of trading algorithms — Ongoing documentation and iteration will support the launch and refinement of new analysis tools.
Open Questions / Follow-Ups
Housekeeping updates and further Discord/channel orientation to be completed at the next session.
Continued feedback requested from boot camp members regarding comprehension and application of live price analysis and range engineering methods.
Ongoing development of new data analysis capabilities and expansion of the daily profiling system for more trading assets and time zones.
