That's why backtesting is important, I trade during equity hours, GU&EU always vomit 40-60 pips during these timing . Sometimes market can be slow, but it happened often. Like the trade I took today but ended up to BE trade, within 30mins I was in 1:5RR, the plan was to close with 1:9RR, but it retraced back to BE... You just need strong trading pysc to be operating like this. Someone will say you are leaving money on the table, but the truth is that I can't change my system, cuz I know is profitable

2% in TFT contest. Slow and steady

You are one of the traders I admire so much in this forum, I might not know your age but have shown high level of decorum here.

Pulling 400% in space of 11 month is crazy man, I guess you are still undergraduate with enough time by yourside, take it slow to learn and unlearn. You know the saying " Forex is the hardest way to make easy money" I wish I knew Currency trading when I was in my 20+. I started late bro, let me say 30 . I had it rough,lost sleep, friends and relationships trying to understand this game, became a loner. Only this yr I have made more than 60% on prop,the plan was to hit 100% before November,no biggie I'm still happy with myself. Next yr I'm going crazy on E8 & FTMO

My little advice is for u to shift from that swing trading to intraday if u have interest of going for prop firms. Keep grinding!

I had a rough start also, I hope to get better as we proceed. For weeks have been running the ftmo free trial back to back to back, I just hope to win one of the prize, although I still have a long way to go

Sorry about your disqualification. Hope this is not an impulse trading situation? BTW how about your entries? I feel you should try to check those trades and understand why you lost them. This could help to better organise yourself.

I trade with time 8am-10am / 1pm -4pm , if I don't see my setups within this time intervals I work away, my open position does not exceed 2hrs, if I didn't hit Tp within 2hrs I will be forced to close it manually irrespective of the outcome. I use very tight SL like 5-7 pips maximum on EU&GU, my target is always 1:7RR and above, I can't go below that, I don't take partial or trail stops, but I break even after breaking structures within the timing. I have a very low win rate ,let's say I win 40% of time, but is gold. I don't risk more than 0.50% a day, sometimes I might go crazy but that's when I'm floating on massive profit. I tend to avoid red folders . I think Timing is more important than price.

If you're U-25 and still living with a caretaker, take your time to gather knowledge. This game pays only those who know how to play.

This year is almost ending and I'm doing analysis on my performance (though without a trade explorer) and I'm proud of myself. I started off with $100 and I'm sure to close around $400 or higher.

Last year, i started with $200 and blew it in six months— progress if you ask me. Like I've always said, I'm not in a hurry to "start balling". If my mates dey buy Azul....

You gats be a loner when you dey learn this forex. I barely go out recently except for essentials or when I’m exhausted with learning or the markets are moving mad.

Hopefully we all meet our goal.

Big up big Man.

You.motivate me

Keep it going o. Life na jeje

Brief memo :

Like you i haven't gone into prop firms yet because i don't have the right strategy yet to use.

My risk management is very sound but my trading performance especially this last 7 months hasn't been that impressive. But I've been trading this same way for a couple of years now so i know it's a phase that i go through - Make money today lose tomorrow ( i work on a principle - my biggest loss is never as big as my biggest profit),

I'm completely numb to any trades i take, the cycle of recent just tire me but overall over a period of time i am profitable.

My goal for a while now has always been to be a trader aiming for the darwinex top traders standards. Which has made me reduce my risk per trade tremendously ( I draw so much inspiration from those guys, oaktrader & co) and yes I've made solid progress

While some bosses here dey take am personal with prop firms i just dey take time do my research. So when I'm ready I'll even go back to trade demo sef before i carry vawulence go there.

it was just a case of series of misfortunes.. stayed in short position for several hours and the price just stayed at same zone and refused to go down. then, gradually the price print a bullish entry pattern. on seeing the bulish entry pattern, I got paranoid and decided to close my short position with some losses in order to be on the safer side if incase the bull entry pattern materialized, just immediately I step out of the market after 8hours of holding that position, 3 extremely long bearish candles happened, worth at least 800pips.. I nearly ran mad with anger..

this kind of scenario played out in all the position I took.
