Oh, dude, TraderTwitch Cup. Yo, bro. TraderTwitch Cup’s coming out. Um They just released They’re like, “Listen, everyone’s pretty good pretty much going to YOLO their accounts. Let’s be real. Um just the I was talking about it like it’s only five days. And then after five days, the top X amount of traders go to the next round. But like if you want to see who’s really the best, like the sample size of
five trading days is nothing. Like that Robin’s Cup is more of an example of who’s a better trader because it goes so long. But I will say like I’m not probably I don’t know. I might just get an account and YOLO it, probably. Um I think if you don’t have any accounts, it’s a it’s a time that you can get a free account, have some fun, and whatnot. Yeah. — Maybe you
beat out all these other people to get money. — Like if your sole purpose is to just earn money trading and don’t really care about anything else, like just YOLOing the account probably causes like bad habits or whatnot or, you know, if you lose it, you get upset and you treat really — The ones who really benefit is what? — Well, it’s a huge marketing campaign for them. I mean, let’s be
real. Like it it’s probably awesome for them. They get — The lead gen alone is massive. Yeah. TraderFeed, TraderTwitch, you know, benefits more than anybody. Obviously, whoever wins, right? Or the whoever finishes in the I don’t know if there’s like — Probably the top 10 people get Also, I think they’re doing that thing where if you knock out I So, after the first round, you get divvied up in brackets and you,
you know, you go against these quote-unquote gurus that don’t show their account numbers or anything. So, you don’t actually know if they trade or not. Uh if you beat one of them there’s like 24 of them you get like five grand which obviously is nice. Um I like listen, do I think it’s fun? Yeah. I you know, I think it’s fun for a lot of people. Is it something that like I’m
like, oh man, like I’m going to put all my effort in this. I can’t wait. Like nah, I’m You know, cuz you’re not getting paid. Like if I make $10,000 on week one I’m not getting any of that money. So why I’d rather make $10,000 in my personal or something else and walk away with 10 grand. Like So like for me it’s whatever. For some of the other people I think it’s
great. They’re going to have fun and whatnot. And listen, if you’re one of the bounty guys I think you’re going to have fun, you know. Tradify is pumping you up as a guru so people are following you and and making you more legit even if you’re not. Like I do think it’s good if you’re them. I think it’s good if you’re Tradify. I think if it’s good if you’re only trading one
or two accounts, but like you know, if you’re trading [ __ ] 15 funded accounts and a personal account it’s not you know, I’d rather just focus on my own crap and continue just getting payouts, but I I understand it. I think it’s good overall. It’s just for me it’s just kind of whatever. Like I think it’s I’ll probably look to see who’s going to win it but uh you know, that’s
I don’t know how many times I’m going to look at it. No. Yeah, like you know, this — I don’t I think it’s and it’s not cuz I don’t trade with them. I just think it’s a waste of [ __ ] time personally. Plus like Yeah, I depend on how many accounts you trade. Like I’m trading multiple accounts across multiple firms and I know that we only have so many good good
winning trades in us in on a daily basis. What if I use all my winning trades on an account that the only way I could get paid is by beating out a ton of other people? — Yeah, I’m with you, man. I — So, that’s where I’m like I I did it. I did the Trade Day Cup. So did you. — Yeah, and you know what? I was I was I love
the It got annoying after a while. And then I just started YOLO’ing the accounts. Um You know, and then you look bad cuz like you didn’t make any money at the end cuz you just YOLO’d a bunch of accounts. And I was like, I really could care less. Like — The funny part about that was I I I I sucked at that. I sucked in that thing. But, at the same time,
while that was going on, I I made I made X amount of money I made as much money as I needed to make in three accounts with Trade Day, actual SIM funded accounts where they ended up pushing me live. I went live with Trade Day. And I went on a crazy run just in general with my prop firm trading, and it started that same month. So, maybe it was the people talking
[ __ ] on social media and like Twitter about how influencers suck at trading, and it kind of motivated me or propelled me or triggered something in me to to prove everybody wrong. So, I’m grateful for that, but otherwise, it was just a [ __ ] waste of time. — Yeah. I mean It was cool interacting with some of the other people in the industry, I guess, but like outside of that,
it was a pain trading it. And then I would trade it, and I blew the account, and I’d be like [ __ ] like now I’m thinking about like how I blew this account even though the account means really nothing and — And you know you know the psychological effect of blowing accounts, you know. — Yeah, it I was annoying. And you know, that’s kind of like, you know, what I think
about the cup. I think it’s good for a lot of people. For me, I’m take it or leave it. Like listen, I’m probably going to yolo it on open and if it hits freaking great. I I will just see what happens. If I lose it great. Probably won’t pay attention to it after that. So, it’s one of those things that you know, maybe if I yolo it and it hits on Monday,
I yolo it again, hits on Tuesday and it’s enough to get into the next round, maybe I start paying attention to it. But other than that I got a project I’m actually working on to be honest with you that I really want to put more of my effort into. I’m I’m trying to automate trading personally. Um so I I I don’t you know, any extra bandwidth is going to towards that. —
Yeah. — Um — That’s what I’m saying. It’s just a bandwidth suck and really they benefit more. Especially if like you have a channel and you have or you have reach on social media or anywhere and all you’re doing is talking about it. — Yeah. — You know, maybe people could use your code to get accounts, but like at the end of the day — I think — real benefit to you
other than if you do beat a bunch of people, you can say you did better. I don’t know. This just — I thought they should have if they did the teams They should have If they did the teams, I could have got you to do it if it was me and you. Like yo, Jay. We’re we’re going to we’re going to run a team. — Maybe. — We’re going to do a
team up one time. — Maybe. Maybe. — Bro, it would have been fun. That I would have gotten — I haven’t traded with them, so — I know, but it’s not happening. But I think if they did the teams, I probably could have got you to do and I probably would have taken it more serious cuz I would be like, yo me and you have to represent and we’re going to do
this. Um It would have been cool. I would have fun doing it that way. But I I you know, there’s no teams. It’s you know, it is what it is. I’m not really a I almost want to do that Robin’s Cup. I I [ __ ]
