My biggest payout to date with what I think are the best firm in the industry. Less than 24hrs and the funds arrived in my bank account. They set the highest standards and consistently deliver. 🫡.@FTMO_com

I made $25k in a month because of my personal trainer. I’m not joking. I started trading in 2020 and was unprofitable for years. Then in April 2024 I hired a personal trainer because I wanted to start taking the gym more seriously. I went from barely working out, eating whatever.

7. Over-leveraging. This was one of my biggest problems. I would over-leverage on my funded accounts too much, and it would cause me to lose a lot of them whenever I went through a losing streak. Now I risk max 1% on my funded accounts. And if it goes into drawdown, I’ll reduce.

6. Going full-time too soon. You should never go full-time in trading unless you have a ton of capital. There’s a lot of pressure when trading is your only income. I found that out in mid 2022 - I made a $10k payout and quit my job as a bricklayer, then I had lost it all a few.

5. Trying to rush the process. When I first started trading, I wanted to succeed as soon as possible. I saw the trading gurus flexing the ‘trader lifestyle’ on Instagram and wanted a part of it. This led me to over-leverage, over-trade and revenge trading. Realise that it’s going.

4. Not journalling. I made the same mistakes again and again when I was unprofitable. A big reason for this is because I wasn’t journalling for the first 2-3 years of my trading. Once I started journalling I realised I was repeatedly making the same mistakes. For example, if I.

3. Not being disciplined in other areas of your life. My biggest progression as a trader came after I hired a personal trainer for the gym. I was following a solid workout plan and eating a strict meal plan every day. The discipline that gave me changed the way I traded too. 2.

2. Switching strategies too often. You need balance with this. In my opinion, when you first start trading you should try a few different strategies to see what resonates with your personality the best. But after you’ve chosen one strategy that aligns with you - you should stick.

1. Using too many concepts. When I first discovered ICT, I did a deep dive into all of his concepts. I studied them day and night learned pretty much all of them. But when I tried to apply them all in my trading, I could never even find trades to enter. I was waiting for 8 things.

I was an unprofitable trader for 4 years. Now I make $15-40k/month consistently from trading. Here are the mistakes that were holding me back from becoming profitable (avoid them):

If you’re an unprofitable trader but you keep buying prop firm challenge. What are you doing??.

1 win. 1 loss. 1BE . Up 1.62% for the week so far. Likely no trading tomorrow but will see. If not onto next week

Want to be a good trader?. Then you need to understand yourself and the motivations behind your own actions. If you don’t understand WHY you do things, it’ll be very hard for you to become profitable. I noticed in my trading that if I had a losing day, the next day I would enter.

Trading is actually simple. Human emotions are what make it complicated.

You need to base your trading around your life. Someone asked me recently “I want to trade but I miss all my setups because I’m at working during my trading session”. He was asking me how he can make it work. And the truth is there’s only one way:. BY CHANGING HIS SYSTEM. If.

Nice 2.62% on EU. Got back the L from Monday plus more. Now see what tomorrow brings . All broken down with the discord 🫡

I don’t even want more prop firm funding tbh. At the moment I have $1.2m in funding. And as far as I’m concerned - I think I’ve maxed out the funding I can get with reputable prop firms. I could get more funding, but what’s the point if my payouts are just going to get rejected?.

I got a $16k prop firm payout last week. A big reason for this was SESSION PROFILES. Like + Comment ‘trading’ and I’ll DM you a video guide on how you can use them in your trading. (must be following)

There’s no benefit to spending more time staring at charts. You won’t make more money - if anything you’ll probably lose more. Trade your setup, make money then enjoy your freedom.

The problem with systematic trading systems is that PA can be bad but you keep trading because your ‘setup is there’. That’s where discretion needs to come in. So you can identify low-probability conditions and avoid trading during these times
