maplestax (BullTradeFinder) is a high-volume prop-firm trader-educator who livestreams SPY/QQQ scalps every weekday morning and posts polished pre-market level maps, all wrapped in a relentless stream of affiliate promo, mindset content, and a free 'CBC' indicator funnel. But the verified record isn't the futures scalping he's known for: it's a thin set of swing-equity 'sleeper' longs, and it's early. On 7 decided calls a 57% hit rate looks fine, until you notice losers running roughly five times the size of winners. Treat the daily plans as the product and the swing calls as speculation.

ANTE Analyst Note
AI-written from the record + public posts · low confidence — opinion, not the verified scoreThe Record
Early and lopsidedThe ANTE Score sits in 'Building,' and honestly it should: this is 7 decided calls out of 18 tracked, 39% coverage, corroborated but early. The 57% hit rate (4 wins, 3 losses) flatters a lopsided ledger, average winner +8.6%, average loser -41.5%, dragged by a PL option that settled near a total loss. Directional return across 17 reads -0.7%. Based on 7 decided calls, 39% coverage, data through 2026-07-23: read this as a first sketch, not a verdict.
The Craft
Levels, clean if-thenHis church is price levels: pre-market highs/lows, VWAP, a 9/20-EMA cloud, framed as clean if-then maps, 'defend the PML, push above the PMH, targets stacked to X.' That structure is the real product, posted daily before the open with a live stream to follow. The graded swing longs are looser: targets are bold ($21 QBTS 'will be a $100 name'), but the thesis is often a one-liner, 'sleeper stock,' 'runaway freight train', conviction over chartwork.
The Risk
Preaches tight, trades looseHere's the tension. The feed preaches immaculate risk, 'cut the loser fast,' 'small losses, on purpose,' five micros on a 50k account, yet zero of the tracked calls carry a stated stop, and the swing longs simply run to timeout. When one breaks, it breaks hard: the losing option settled near total, and average losers (-41.5%) dwarf average winners (+8.6%). To his credit he does post red days, a -$4,000 session, a snapped green streak, so drawdowns aren't hidden.
The Style
Loud and promo-heavyVolume is the vibe. Between the level maps sits a wall of prop-firm affiliate promo (code 'MAPLE' across TPT, Lucid, MFF, Tradeify, Apex), a free 'CBC' indicator lead-magnet, a $60 'House of Stax' Discord, and giveaways, monetisation is front and center. Threaded through: get-rich mindset takes, personal-finance hot takes, and genuinely funny bits ('I hate paying 25 cents for extra sauce'). Victory laps happen ('all wins, no losses'), but so do wry, self-aware jokes. Personality is the draw.
Education & Community
Teaches while sellingThere's real teaching here: a free morning YouTube stream, EMA/VWAP walkthroughs, a psychology-and-journaling emphasis ('read it back when it hurts'), and post-session reviews owning what went wrong ('less trades = more money'). He credits other traders and shows losses. But instruction is fused to the funnel, the 'free' indicator needs a follow-and-comment, and 'I turn people into millionaires every year' hype undercuts the sober risk lessons. A beginner can genuinely learn the level framework, if they filter the sales pitch.
The Match
Hands-on intraday crowdYou'll vibe with this if you trade SPY/QQQ intraday, want a pre-market if-then level map plus a live stream to trade alongside, and you're already in the prop-firm-eval world where the 'MAPLE' codes actually save you money. You'll also enjoy the mindset-and-memes energy. It's a poor fit if you're a set-and-forget 9-to-5er who needs hedged, stop-defined swing entries, if affiliate promo grates on you, or if you want a long, proven equity track record before committing.
