I meet the 8% threshold on Friday last week, but since the minimum trading days was 3 days, I have to complete the minimum 3 days trading on Monday and was immediately sents my login details same Monday for my second phase.

And I have blown it, that's how it happened.

peteregwu:
On GBPNZD, I am anticipating a breakdown to 1.99066. Aside this pair, I won't be taking any trade again. I will be off for about 2 weeks. Good luck!

Make what you will with it
This is the chart of seasons when to trade or not! Red areas are the months when you stop trading and enter the resting period, because all strategies suffer so much.

Men and brethren,
With deep pain in my heart, I want to inform the house that I have successfully blown my Alpha- Capital 5k free account after passing the first phase.

This thing pain me well well...

EXLOVER:



I normally trade synthetic, I decided to follow your trade today on currency, you’re the boss. Couldn’t wait for TP, I wish i increase my lot size or open more positions. Thanks boss, God bless you


Real account

Thanks bro. Congrats.

geedot:
Maybe you should give a breakdown of what happened. How it happened? What lot size were you using? How many positions did you have opened at once?

Firstly, journaling it here will also help you too in the long run as you can look back to it and realise where, how and why you failed. Secondly, it will also help newbies here know some path not to take, or the ones that leads to failure easily.

This alpha promo account was about 10days ago and you already passed phase 1. Something is not right, if you could pass the 8% threshold easily, you definitely could lose the max % DD even easilier(if there's any word like that).

I also jumped on the freebie too, no amount is too small in this business. Most of my limit orders won't even execute till next week or the upper one and I'm quite okay with it. But most people always want to trade even when there are no trading opportunities for them present to them at that particular moment.

And another thing I also observed here is that most people still struggling with currency pairs now prefer trading metals/indices because of their volatility. If your purpose of trading an instrument is majorly because of the profit you are thinking or hoping to make is the reason and not because you truly understood its movements. You're going to fail 11 out of 10times.

Some people can't handle small movements in currency pairs yet without getting drawdowns, but one way or the other they think gold/us30 should be their next favorite pair worthy of trading. Go on, this business will teach them by force by fire.

The journey so far

MrDoGood:
Consistency is key

Ibrahimlagosian:
How many orders am I seeing here?look at the total lotsize of these orders in relation to the account size.
I think you should sit down and take preachings from your post first .

geedot:
Calm down, some orders are even 200pips away from me and can't execute anytime soon, some won't even execute at all.
That's just my way of having them there as reference and markets I'm watching out for throughout the month till next year too.
It's better that way, and you should also know this "Alpha" firm doesn't allow lesser lots than the 0.1, else I would even go lower.


And lastly, you need to get manners if you don't have any.

MrDoGood:


I'm actually trading with a bot sir

Ibrahimlagosian:
I think every nice compliment is for bot not you🤔

yetown:



What is the name of the bot?

Davigle:

Jameselias:
Just so you know
we have a scammer around

RKTexpert:
what are you insinuating here? first off, there's nothing wrong with some folks trying to trade or are trading non-currency pairs. Just bcuz trading currency pairs work for you doesn't mean you have gotten everything figured out; major, minor and exotics included; from your cryptic post; you are saying non-currency pair traders are obsessed with the euphoric inclination to trade gold/us30 and other non-currency pairs, given its speedy movement and volatility.
Are you saying non-currency traders are toying with fire and trading dangerously? Are all non-currency traders still not aware of the growing propaganda of implementing proper risk and money management in their everyday tradings.

You are ringing it loud as if folks trading only currency pairs ain't gonna ever breach their account or something; keeping drawdown at bay is how we progress in this line of work.

The goal is to make progress and upscale regardless of the kind of instruments we trade. If trading certain specific pair works for anyone, who cares. Once again the goal of every trader is to make progress in his trading journey and not the other way round.
