The other day, someone asked me for advice about trading strategies.
I replied with my own thoughts, and I felt that many people might benefit from keeping these ideas somewhere in the back of their minds, so I decided to post the same content here as well.
These are only my personal opinions. Please do not take them at face value โ interpret them in your own way. If you found this helpful, I would appreciate it if you could share it with your followers by retweeting.

Please understand that these are only my personal thoughts and do not guarantee any results.
Also, English is not my native language, so there may be slight differences in nuance or some awkward expressions (this is translated using AI).
Understand what trading hours realistically fit your lifestyle and personality.
I understand that people need money, but if you are a student, prioritize your studies. If you are working, prioritize your main job. Sleep, diet, exercise, and your overall health are equally important.
If you are using a 5k funded account, the risk of payout denial is relatively low, but you should still choose a prop firm with a strong reputation and reliability.
I think firms such as The5ers, Funding Pips, and Alpha Capital Group are strong candidates. (Please check each firm's pricing and rules yourself and make your own decision.)
Absolutely avoid losing accounts due to gambling-like behavior such as exceeding lot limits, violating loss limits, or breaking daily drawdown rules.
This is not a matter of skill โ it is something you can prevent 100% through your own choices.
On average, the pass rate for step-2 style challenges is said to be around 10%, and only around 5% of traders actually receive payouts.
In other words, statistically, only 1 out of 20 challenges may lead to a payout, and with enough bad luck, it is possible to receive nothing even after 30 challenges.
If your skills are not improving and you are not consistently profitable, you should keep your challenge sizes around 5kโ10k.
Depending on your available capital, I think managing around 3โ6 challenges simultaneously is reasonable (without copy trading, in order to diversify risk).
Risking around 1%โ1.5% per trade, or 0.5%โ1% on funded accounts, and limiting yourself to 0โ2 trades per day per account feels like a good balance between risk and time management.
Avoid trades targeting extremely small price movements, because spreads have a much larger negative impact in those situations.
Instead, aim for moves around 30โ100 pips.
For Gold, aim for trades targeting roughly 300โ1000 pips. (Volatility changes depending on market conditions, so these are only rough reference values.)
Even if you continue doing the right things, it is completely normal to see no results for a long time, or to start getting results and then suddenly go through a long losing streak.
To avoid mental exhaustion during those periods, stay focused on other important parts of life as well โ studying, work, relationships, hobbies, and so on.
I think it is best to stay relaxed and continue steadily. Sometimes, giving up is also a valid option.
Situations where someone truly needs the kind of money that can only come from trading are probably rare.
The important thing is to avoid turning failure into a major life disaster.
In other words, even if you borrow money, use all of your savings, or sacrifice all of your time, success is still not guaranteed. And if things fail, you may suffer losses that are difficult to recover from quickly.
Please avoid putting yourself in that situation.
