WHY I WANT A 10K ACCOUNT FROM infofirst.
Dear sir,
> I trade only one pair as recommended by you. I started this in December, since then my account has remained afloat.
> I now trade higher time frame. I now stay longer in the market.
> I no longer take any trade from anyone here, just to make sure I am independent.
> I have been consistent since December my win rate is much more higher than my loses.
> my win rate this February is 100% for now and with my strategy I believe it stays so.
> I don't trade everyday because I only trade when I am sure its going my way.
> I stay away from news, be it red folder(high impact) or any folder at all.
> you can access me with the February TFT challenge for this month to further see my progress.
> my little daughter want me to succeed so she can go to a better school since her mum left.
> I need an opportunity from you. I know it takes a lot of sacrifice from you to do what you do. God bless.
> if you no reply me I know say my village people is on my case.

Bro when you are seeking aid from a prospective benefactor, try as much as possible not to blackmail them emotionally, consciously or subconsciously...the bolded up there is a clear case of emotional blackmail, though you might not be aware of it sha...but then, just sell yourself using your strength, if the prospective benefactor deems you fit, he’ll definitely sponsor you....

Politics / Re: Again, CBN Raises Import Duty Rate By Another 4.4% In 24 Hours by Skanas(m): 8:28am On Feb 04
DeLaRue:


You think so, but that's not the reality.

There is a pain point at which demand for many imported goods will fall fast. People will simply start buying less and less of them. Whether that pain point is at N1500, N1800, or N2000 to a dollar, I don't know.

But the CBN will have the data. They know. If N1500 doesn't stiffle imports to the level they want, I suspect the CBN will not mind seeing naira close to N2,000 to a dollar.

In some ways, it is to the credit of Mr Tinubu's administration that it is willing to follow this extremely tough path to redirect the economy from import-dependence to greater local production. For a politician facing election in just over 3 years to follow a path that may not show positive results for a few years, is truly brave.

The Nigerian economy was heading for the rocks after over 40 years of mismanagement. Tough decisions are needed to correct long term over dependence on imports.

That naira/dollar pain point is the point at which local production of certain goods starts becoming more viable than importing the same goods. This should translate to us producing more of what we need locally. This will lead to more job creation, less pressure on the naira, and a stronger, more balanced economy in the long term.

But this approach comes with a lot of economic pain initially, as the country is witnessing now.

That's the theory o.

Whether things happen in practice like I stated above is a different matter, because Nigeria's situation often defy economic theory.



The reason why Nigeria economy defy economic theories is because our leaders are always putting the cart before the horse...

We want to encourage local production, ok that’s fine, but have we (looking at Agric sector):

1) Secured Nigeria enough to allow local production to thrive? The farmers in the North for example, battling banditry and boko haram day in day out thus preventing them from going to their farms.

2) Curb corruption in areas of grants/govt credit facilities so that these facilities will get to “real farmers” and not some nepotistic approach by officials in charge, given out these facilities to their cronies and praise singers who end up not using the facilities for its said purpose.

3) Provided enough storage and processing facilities to curb wastage, enhance food security and add value to farm products
Etc ...

These and many more precursor events should happen before discouraging import for an import dependant nation

This is where you got it wrong. You were aware before purchasing it, so that shouldn't be excuse you give yourself to mask your failure. You're just indiscipline! You're going to trade a funded account the same way you trade the evaluation phases. Prop firms are out there to reward disciplined and patient traders.

Maybe you are better off trading a personal account. It's better you leave these prop firms, because you are just the opposite of what successful prop traders are. I'm not saying this to ridicule you, but instead to motivate you.

"Whatever you do, know thyself" or what mantra do I see people throwing around here all the time. Thyself is not good enough, and you know it yourself, but you still don't want to change for the better, you will have many years of experience with nothing to show for it.

For example, if I'm about entering a buy trade, and peter or Gabson are somewhere trying to sell from where I'm buying, I'd be stupid not to look at my chart again to see reason they are selling instead. These guys targets 500pips+, with a massive win% ratio, there's no way my SL won't hit for their trade to turn green.

This is not about pride, it's about knowing fx is probability and can go both ways, and accepting some people are just better than you are. I only want to also see from his angle why he thought it would be selling, after cross-checking and I'm fully convinced my buy has more probability of holding than his sell, then and only then I will leave the trade run, or just delete the order if otherwise and wait it out to see if I would have been right or wrong.


If one wants to be an independent trader in the long run, then the bolded (notion) above is a no no for me. Both traders you mentioned are excellent traders but their strategies differ from other traders strategises. A trader whose strategy has a good win rate %, don’t need to know what others are doing, all he/she knows is that his/her edge has appeared, pulls the trigger without hesitation or fear and wait for the outcome, be it TP or SL. Using Peteregwu for example, once he calls his trade, he stands by it even if Niel, Habby, Jeffrey, Info, Gabson or any other trade God comes to tell him otherwise, he politely thanks them but sticks to his gun because he has built a solid trust around his edge and knows he always comes out positive on aggregate, after series of trade.

Forget the fact that the game is kinda frustrating for most traders now, I believe things happen over time and not over night...building oneself to be an independent trader will bring favours in the Long run...

With 0.1lot, you need 1000pips to hit 10% if you trade pairs that have round figure as lot value like gu eu au nu gold us30 etc..
It is not a must to open two positions at a time. But only 0.1 lot must be open at a time. So as to help track everything.
DD is 5%, overall DD is 10%.

Kaybee7000 you are right about the rule thing with reference to the bolded above ☝️

Samfelly, the bolded above ☝️was clearly stated by Infofirst before commencement of the challenge, for easy tracking I guess...but then, some folks didn’t stick to the rule sha

@Infofirst,
I read the rules set on the Fxblue platform of the challenge and I understand it will automatically disqualify anyone with open positions above the stated 0.1 max...this helps with the tracking you talked about...

But pls help clarify the bolded in the quote for me...
What if a trade of 0.1 is going in my favour, can I take partials and re-enter after a retracement (though still maintaining 0.1 max, cummulative)? Does this amount to a violation of rule?

I'm considering modifying the competition rules. Moving forward, only committed and serious participants will be allowed. To be eligible, participants must have an account age of at least six months and a history of activity on the thread. A request to assess their qualifications will be necessary before extending an invitation.

While the competition results can be made public, the primary method of joining will be through invitation. The competition will run for three months. To qualify for a $10,000 challenge, participants must achieve a minimum of 10% profit, and their drawdown (DD) must not exceed 10%. Additionally, they must actively trade for a minimum of one month to be eligible for the prize.

We will utilize a Darwinex $10,000 demo account, which should be linkable to my FXBlue account. However, I still need to confirm whether the demo account will expire within that three-month period. It's important to note that Darwinex offers lower leverage, allowing only a maximum of 0.1 lot size and a maximum of two positions at a time. Participants must be willing to adhere to these rules if they win the challenge account; otherwise, they will face a permanent ban.

We need to stop playing. Our play don dey too much.

This is actually the game changer... now you are not just gifting people prop account, but you’re now practically teaching people how to trade like professionals. By this, even if one doesn’t win an account here, as long as one has a fairly good strategy, his/her trade management skills will greatly improve, thereby increasing chances of eventually cashing out from a funded account... weldone brotherly.

I have stated many times on this thread on why I believe Trading is Gambling

in no way am I trying to paint trading in a bad light, I used to be highly against the notion of trading not being gambling until my losses in forex started piling up.


I began to make some research on gambling and the similarities was staggering....

a gambler makes bets, a trader places trades
a gambler looks at odds, a trader Risk to Reward
a gambler looks at team stats, a trader Backtests
a gambler and a trader both have winning streaks
and losing streaks
both are constantly trying to predict the future
both believe they can achieve financial freedom
both have 95% who lose money constantly and 5% who make large withdrawals
both can lose all their fortune in a day

but at the end of the day Forex traders have it worst, why? they still want to believe they are not gamblers,, and that right there makes it difficult for their brains to fully permit them to take on the mindset and form of a Truly profitable Trader...

Like why will a true trader lose all his/her fortune in a day, when you have your SL and MM tools to protect your account when your analysis is wrong?

infofirst:


You do not know the difference between trading the forex market and gambling the forex market. You can never lose your whole fortune in a day if trading the forex market but you can if gambling the forex market

Infofirst You’ve said it all jareee @the bolded ...
Only those that gamble forex, equate forex trading to gambling...
