It took me 4 years to become a profitable trader

Now in the last year and a half I’ve done $400k+ in prop firm payouts

Here’s what was holding me back (so you can learn from my mistakes):

[Andrew NFX @andrew_nfx]

People say there’s no ‘right or wrong’ way to trade prop firms

But there 100% is

And the right way is:

•Risking more on challenges to pass them quickly (2-4% per trade depending what the firm allows)
•Risking less when you have passed to secure small payouts (0.5-1% per trade)

Prop firms love to see people spending ages on challenges because it means it takes way longer to scale up their capital and start getting payouts

And they just deny your payout if you risk too aggressively on the funded and make big % returns

Trade prop firms this way, it’s how I scaled to $6M+ in capital and get consistent payouts every month

[Andrew NFX @andrew_nfx]

Prop firm capital is hardest to accumulate at the start

But once you get the ball rolling, you can scale it really quickly

It took me 3-4 years of trading to build up to $1M in funding

Then I had one really solid month and gained 6% in payouts

I re-invested half of that into more prop firm challenges to scale my funding

Just a few months later I had $4M in funding

It took me YEARS to get to $1M in funding then just a few months to reach $4M+

The compound effect is real in this game, you might not see much results from it now - but it will build up quickly in the future if you stay consistent

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

Let me make this clear

I start off with 1/1 rr

But my rr actually averages out to 1/2 with adaption rule

With candle confirmation you can be insanely profitable with even 50% win rate

That's why this way is so good for your psychology because the 1/1 allows for wiggle room and imperfection

But at the same time you really don't need a crazy high win rate to be profitable

One of a kind

[Andrew NFX @andrew_nfx]

Use this SIMPLE risk management plan to make profit in the markets! 💰

To make $1M I only used 0.5% and 1% risk on my funded accounts

1:1 RR always going to breakeven ⬆️

1:2 RR full take profit ✅️

Very simple and effective! 💯

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

1:1 rr 60% win rate > 1:2 rr 50-40% win rate

1:1 is much easier to work from

Only real traders understand

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

If you average 2% a month or more...

Eventually you will be a multimillionaire

Keep grinding you're on the right path

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

Candle confirmation
1/1 risk reward
60% win rate

Is enough for you to go fulltime
To quit your job
To live the life of your dreams

Lock in

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

1/1 risk reward is not a holy grail

I know I talk about it alot because it is the best risk reward ratio

But i'm not saying you can't make money with 2/1 or 3/1 etc

I've taught many folks over the years and most do better when they switch to 1/1

I tried bigger rr at the beginning of my career and it killed my psychology

1/1 helped me level up my psychology way quicker when I made the switch

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

Boring is good

Boring gets you paid

Boring will retire your family

Boring will make your dreams come true

Make your trading boring

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

One solid high quality trade a week is enough to make you rich

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

1/1 risk reward
60% win rate
Consistent compounding

That will retire your family

Ditch big rr

Take singles

if you want the reality of trading

most times in the market,
you need to be doing nothing

it may be uncomfortable
it may be unappealing
it may be boring

but it is a requirement for consistency

because while the market is always moving,
it is not always presenting real opportunity

trading is unlike anything else

you do not get paid for the number of trades you take, hours you spend watching price, or attempts to catch every move

you get paid for making proper decisions
you get paid for waiting when necessary
you get paid for following your plan

all the real opportunity is in your system

so demand the market aligns with it,
no matter how long it may take

because that is where the money exists

maybe you have to wait a day
maybe you have to wait multiple days
maybe you even have to wait for a week

but you do not decide that, your system does

once you truly submit to this,
that is when your trading really starts

anything else is no better than guesswork

understand and commit to your system
disconnect from everything else
be willing to wait for your trade

and consistency will become a byproduct of your actions

I simulated equity curves for each of the four hypothetical strategies. The key constants across all are:

• EV per trade: 0.20
• Simulations per strategy: 100 equity curves
• Trades per simulation: 1,000
• Risk per trade: 1% of equity (starting with $100)
• Scale: Log

Question: After reading this and seeing the data, have you changed your mind about your choice? If so, why?

[Jordan F @jordanfogel]

People told me you should always go for 2-3R trades and that is the worst advice I ever got

I started seeing profits when I went for 1:1s and 1.5:1s with higher win rates

Do what works for YOU

[Trader Theory @tradertheory]

Trading success looks like:

❌ Year 1: Losses

❌ Year 2: More losses

❌ Year 3: Different losses

❌ Year 4: Learning losses

✅ Month 1 of Year 5: Everything clicks

The overnight success that took years

For 90% of the people reading this

Switching to 1/1 risk reward would do wonders for your psychology issue

Big risk reward is terrible for psychology (for most)

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

1/1 risk reward can make you rich
