FOUR MONTHS. FINALLY PASSED. Phase 1, 100k @fundingpips 🏆
I was just 20 pips away yesterday . Tried to capture them, took another 1.5% drawdown, and suddenly needed 1.9% again.
But I stayed in the game, learned from my mistakes, and kept working on my execution.
With this amount of consistency I'm confident that I will do best in the future btw
Today, I passed.
4 months of lessons, setbacks, and growth. The account was never just about the money.
Believe it or not, trading is all about psychology.
Learning a strategy is easy. Sticking to it when emotions kick in is the real challenge.
Your emotions, mindset, and approach will make or break you as a trader.
Dear beautiful brothers and sisters,
Trading has 3 phases:
Losing
Break-even
Consistently profitable
Be honest with yourself and ask on which phase are you currently at
Update on my $100K @fundingpips challenge.
Yesterday, I shared my journey when the account was up 7%. Today, after a winning trade, I got it up to +9.5%, leaving just 0.5% to pass Phase 1.
I tried to let the trade run for the full 3% TP, but closed at +2.5%.
With only 0.5% left, I took another trade trying to get the extra 20 pips needed to pass. I lost $500.
Now I’m at +9%, with 1% left to hit the target.
The mistake? I traded to pass the account instead of waiting for my actual setup.
I’m done for today unless my setup genuinely appears. No more forcing trades just to pass.
Tomorrow, I’ll focus on execution, not the target. One setup at a time.
Thank you to everyone who encouraged me on yesterday’s tweet. I’ll continue sharing this journey transparently, wins, losses, and lessons included.
At this point, it’s all about discipline. Let’s see what tomorrow brings. 🤝
I see long uncertainty on $XAUUSD as the Dollar is holding the Weekly Resistance well now as a Support.
If we reclaim above 4033.09, then shall I consider the long otherwise I would be patient for a sell set-up indeed
If you’re overtrading, cutting winners short, or risking more after a loss, you’re building habits you’ll carry into the future.
Every trade trains you to become a certain type of trader.
Make sure you’re training the right one!!
Bought this $100K @fundingpips evaluation 4 months ago. Still on Phase 1. Zero regrets. I'm still consistent without breaking my rules.
I’ve been within 2% of passing twice, only to face sharp drawdowns. One from a losing streak, another from CPI slippage ( I acknowledge it as my mistake for not managing well )
Now I’m back where I was before the CPI hit.
The $500 on this evaluation would not be wasted. It taught me lessons about risk, discipline, and myself that I couldn’t have learned without experiencing them.
If I’d learned these lessons on my personal account, I might not have survived long enough to learn them.
Even if I breach this account tomorrow, I’ll walk away with experience I didn’t have 4 months ago.
Sometimes the evaluation isn’t just about passing. It’s about becoming the trader who’s ready to pass.
Don’t just trade an asset. Study its behavior.
Understand what drives its price, when volatility kicks in, which sessions matter, and how it reacts to economic data.
Become a student of the instrument you trade.
$BTC | Trade Update
Still holding my short as a hedge, with the sniper entry taken from the 4H order block around 83.1k.
Placing hedge long bids at 79.5–79.3K, aligning with the Daily .618 Golden Pocket. No stop-loss level decided for now.
Expecting a slow range play. Let the levels come to us, no need to rush.
$XAUUSD
Trade executed yesterday at London open. Bearish BOS at 4,166.3 followed by strong displacement to the downside.
Price has reached the .618 Golden Pocket around 4,120. If it fails to hold, 4,076 demand is the next area to watch.
Show some engagement if you want me to share more of my Gold setups and executions here.
Your health is your biggest asset as a trader.
You can recover from a losing day, rebuild an account, and find new opportunities.
But sacrificing your sleep, mental peace, and physical health for the charts isn’t worth it.
