In our members’ words
Excerpts from members’ own posts about learning, trading, and building discipline with Hollow Point Trading.
Finding structure
I was lost, but now I’m found. I was jumping from strategy to strategy, losing 20k. Hollow reached out to me and asked if I needed help. He offered to help me at my lowest point. Trading with Hollow is like walking in a park. He draws out the plan for you, and all you have to do is show up. I joined two weeks ago, spent a week observing, and then took action. Next week, I’m getting my first option funded payout. I’ve read great tools and structure, and I feel confident in my trades because they’re structured, fundamental, and technical. Thank you, Hollow.
Building confidence
The biggest gain for me hasn’t only been the money. It’s been the confidence I’ve developed as a trader. Hollow’s analysis has helped me feel more confident entering trades, but it has also helped me trust and improve my own analysis. I’m no longer looking at the market with the same fear and hesitation I had before.
Accountability and discipline
The real turning point came when I slipped up again, and Hollow straight up threatened to fire me as a student. He told me he wasn't going to waste his time on someone who wasn't matching his energy. That checked me hard. I came back with a completely different attitude.
What changed? I stopped treating this like a hobby and realized Hollow was trying to build a professional.
Because of that I’ve been consistent on my cash account.
Started options funding and funded 2 going on 3 accounts and requested a payout recently.
I will be requesting another in a week and the goal is to get a payout every other day. I think we as traders or even just people think too deep, sometimes the answer is surface and believing in yourself is #1 . Hollow taught me chart patterns and I’m starting to see something and learning to compound. Secure the green and let the runners run.
Learning consistency
I feel my confidence growing each day, but not arrogance like before.
The hardest thing is consistency. I've been trading for about 2 years, options about 4 months now, and these 4 days are the most consistent 4 days in a row I've had.
A recovery still in progress
Howdy! As most of you know my name is Joel, and I was born and raised in Texas yehaaww haha! I started my Robinhood account back in June 2021. Since then I have done a fantastic job trading (sarcasm) I was over 23k down at a 72% loss. I have been in the discord since February this year. For a while i was just lurking in the shadows watching, learning, and to afraid to make any moves because of the pain I endured with all of my losses. Hollow and everyone have been super supportive and encouraging to each other. I am especially thankful for the education, informative videos, articles, and live sessions Hollow has presented. I am not a perfect trader and still have a lot to learn. I do try to invest my time as much as possible while working, attending school, raising 3 daughter's, and trading on the side. Since this last month I have really opened up and started making trades following the lessons and guidance that have been provided. I am still on a road to recovery, but I'm starting off by joing the sub today! I am truly grateful for everything and these life changing opportunities. Here's a photo of my lowest point and my past month. I'm now -19k and going!
Understanding price action
I don’t currently trade options but there is so much to learn about price action through each of this man’s streams. He’ll go on and on to make sure everyone understands and will try his best to answer your trading questions with the utmost patience. Stick around, stay disciplined, and help others.
Seeing the bigger picture
My style of trading in futures is a bit different but when he confirms it makes taking the plays I wanted 100% more confident. He puts in a lot of work to this and you have to trust him that he’s not here to screw us over like a bunch of other discords. It’s not just about trading but life lessons as well!! The guy is honest and real and I like that about him he don’t sugar coat anything he says it like it is!! 💯 I’ve felt more confident in trades when seeing the bigger picture!!
Learning risk management
I am learning my position sizing, when to exit etc still but im learning the process and his guidance really helped me mentally.
Putting the work in
So after two months of just following all of his streams and as many post as I can, while being completely busy with two jobs and a child. I stopped making excuses and put the time in. So this is for anyone who feels like giving up.
Clearer analysis
His charts are always on point — levels are clean, precise, and actually make sense. It’s insane how much more confident I feel entering trades now. I’ve made more profit here than any other group I’ve been in. No hype, just real setups that play out.
You still have to do your own research — as any serious trader should — but come on, when the analysis is this sharp, it makes the process a whole lot easier.
A community that holds you accountable
Talked to Blake at 2 am on a rooftop on a random night and we conversed for quite a few good paragraphs, I mentioned to him im well versed in the market but would love to sit on the calls to have a experienced trader to be able to talk through and get insight from while being in the live market, his analogies were spot on and helped me keep confidence throughout my trades, passed one account in less the scalping SPX, I would try to get good entries based off them jumping on train aswell, just a call full of hitters, even if its not cash money its a good group of people to hold you accountable and push you too it. 18 year old me would've killed for this when I first started. Shoutout Blake man, God Bless. To many more 🍻
Learning through live sessions
Really loving the hollow point way of trading. Been to bunch of different trading discords before this and tried learning so many things that didn't work at all. Finally been here for 2 streams with Hollow and can already feel the difference. Have 2 days profit and lined up to pass my first eval with the optionsfunding. Really appreciate the time you take to work with charts create educational videos for youtube.
