How I trade NQ, taught start to finish.

I'm Ayman, I'm 19, and I live in Miami. At 15 I was a broke high school kid working at Winn-Dixie, putting my paychecks into a trading account and trading options.

I didn't know what I was doing. I was skipping school, blowing through money as fast as I made it, and blowing live accounts. I learned everything the expensive way.

I took my Winn-Dixie money and paid $3,000 for a mentorship. One week in, I knew day trading was what I wanted to do with my life. I'd seen what it could give you, so I worked whatever jobs I could to keep funding it: Geek Squad, Dunkin', Walmart, fixing iPhones.

The lowest point was blowing my live account and getting kicked out of my parents' house. I had to restart from absolute zero. I'd had real wins and I was net profitable, but I couldn't keep any of it.

At 18 I could finally open my own accounts, and I found prop firms and futures. It clicked fast. I passed my first account within a month and got my first payout that same month.

That's when I doubled down. Years of backtesting, trying different strategies, models and concepts until I found what worked for me, then sticking with it. Hours a day of backtesting, collecting data, trading, journaling and learning from every loss. When I went back through my own trades, one thing stood out.

Psychology was my biggest problem.

So I went deep into psychology: how human nature works, why people make the mistakes they make, and why they make the decisions they do. Once I fixed mine, I got patient. I understood my model was statistical and that my job was to trade it like a robot, the same way every time.

That's when my trading took off, and I had my biggest month trading.

Now I trade NQ futures from my desk in Miami and teach that model in the OTE Discord, where about 700 traders post their charts and ask questions.
