Taking one step back👈
I’m done with futures for now
The last 2 months have been rough. My big January got cut down hard by March and April, and honestly, I don’t like trading gold at all right now
EURUSD has always been my best performer, so I’m going back to only trading EURUSD.
After January, I felt unstoppable. Making $40K in a month was crazy.
But that mindset led to overtrading and wasting too much money on challenges.
So now it’s back to my biggest edge:
EURUSD, trading 1:2R
Current situation:
$400K funded, still in drawdown because of gold
$900K in challenges (all phase 1)
Goal: $1.3M funded
The focus now is simple:
stay calm, stay sharp, and execute with discipline.
No more chasing money A+ setups only
No more taking trades that shouldn’t be taken
I’ll keep posting every trade I take
Time to lock in and do it again!

Just resumed backtesting after optimizing my strategy, and honestly, I didn’t expect results this impressive — pretty surprised.
I know it’s not live trading and reality is different, but achieving 63% in just 2 months of backtesting feels fascinating.
I also changed my method — being much more meticulous and spending around 6–7 hours reviewing these 2 months.
Overall, it reassures me about my choices and really boosts my confidence.

for a good year, all you need are a few good months
for a good month, all you need is one good week
for a good week, all you need is one good trade
focus on one good trade at a time
this is the 80/20 law in trading
20% of your trades will make 80% of your profits
the problem is that most of you expect to make money on 100% of your trades
you want to take a trade every day of the week
you force mediocre setups in between the actual good ones
instead of waiting for the few that actually matter, you dilute your edge by taking action when you shouldn’t
one good setup can pay for days of waiting
an A+ framework allows you to scale into multiple positions while keeping your open risk at 1R
one such trade can make your month
but that only works if you’re patient enough to wait
being patient is what pays

how to win the prop firm game:
first off, prop firms are not “funding”, they’re a business model that sells you leverage
your job is to extract payouts without giving them reasons to deny you
in live trading, you optimize for long-term account growth, when trading prop firms, you optimize for ROI
one of the main mistakes traders make on props is changing strategies between phases
they try to “gamble” the challenge phase and once they pass an evaluation, they want to go “big”
that’s how you fail
always use one strategy across all phases
same setup selection, same execution rules, same risk logic, same behavior
if you cannot repeat the same process, you are not consistent
when it comes to FX prop trading, short-term/swing trading is by far the most successful approach based on data
but because it forces patience, and patience prevents rushing challenges
most of you fail challenges because you try to speedrun them
rushing creates overtrading, overtrading creates rule breaks, rule breaks create denied payouts and/or restrictions
your goal is not to pass fast, but efficiently
a few precise trades with proper risk allocation, like a surgeon
it’s that simple
smaller consistent payouts > one huge payout
don’t trade in a way that makes them want to investigate you
props look for people who behave like gamblers
they are unregulated, if they don’t want to pay, there’s nothing you can do about it
that being said, carefully decide which firms you want to work with
if you buy trash, don’t expect great service either
what to look for when picking a CFD prop firm:
- avoid instant funded accounts, they exist because it’s easy money for the prop
- go for a simple two-step with reasonable rules and time flexibility
- ability to hold trades without stupid restrictions
- news trading and weekend holding allowed
- clear drawdown logic and payout policy
do not rely on props as your only income early
if you need the payout to pay rent, you are cooked
rushing leads to forcing trades, forcing trades lead to rule breaks, and rule breaks lead to blown accounts
prop firms are nothing but like a business cashflow stream
you want repeatable monthly extraction, not one huge payout
most people try to pull 10 percent out of a small funded account on a monthly basis
that’s not sustainable without blowing up your accounts consistently
instead, scale funding so you can target small percentages
1% on 100k = 1k
1% on 1m = 10k
getting 1 percent on a big allocation is easier than 10 percent on a small allocation
if you blow accounts, it’s either tilt, or you simply don’t have an edge
if you are not consistent yet, redefine the goal of challenges
your goal is not to pass, but to collect data
you are looking for one thing only:
the bottleneck that keeps you from repeating clean execution
once you find it, you fix it
not mainly your system, but your behavior
markets rotate through really good, average, and slow months
so does your system’s performance
forcing a fixed return goal in a slow month is how you destroy accounts
this is normal
some months make your year
some months are break-even
some months are slow and choppy
the correct response is not “trade more”, it’s “trade less and protect the account”
arbitrary monthly goals are stupid
in below-average months they force overtrading
in above-average months they cap upside because you stop early
both outcomes reduce long-term expectancy
most traders get a payout, then spend it
instead reinvest into scaling more accounts and increasing your allocation
invest into appreciating assets such as equities, real estate, or another business
remember, the goal is to become independent from prop firms
you want to be able to pay your bills from your “passive” income
if you want to get rich, it’s going to be boring
boring execution, patience, and slow compounding
stay boring and become rich, cheers.
