I started trading in 2022.
For the first year, I traded only personal accounts. I wasn't consistently profitable, but I refused to quit.
In mid-2023, I bought my first prop firm challenge. I passed it and got funded in just five weeks through strict discipline.
Ironically, I lost that funded account within the same week.
Not because my strategy stopped working.
But because I became obsessed with getting my first payout as quickly as possible.
That was my biggest lesson.
From 2023 until May this year, I went through one of the toughest seasons of my trading journey. I remember crashing out on a space ending last year with @CableAnalyst.
I bought multiple prop accounts.
Some I lost in Phase 2.
Some I lost with just 0.5% left to get funded.
Every time, I wanted to blame the market.
But eventually, I had to face the truth, I was the problem.
It got to a point that you just can't afford to repeat those silly mistakes again 😪. I just had to go all in with the démon in me.
So I stopped searching for a new strategy and started working on myself.
I doubled down on studying.
I refined my system.
I became more mechanical.
I learned to detach from individual trades and trust my process instead of my emotions.
That shift changed everything.
Last month, by the grace of Allah, I got funded again. It didn't feel special because I knew I have been in that position 3 years ago and couldn't get payout.
I received my first prop firm payout😢.
Then I passed another challenge and got funded again.
What I spent almost two years chasing started happening within a single month.
This journey has taught me something I'll never forget:
The market rewards discipline more than it rewards intelligence.
I'm nowhere near where I want to be.
I haven't arrived.
I'm still learning.
I'm still making mistakes.
I'm still growing.
That's exactly why I'm going to document this journey here, the wins, the losses, the lessons, and everything in between.
My goal is simple for the year is simple,I want to scale my funded capital to at least $100,000 before the end of the year, by staying disciplined one trade at a time.
If you're a trader who's struggling right now, I hope my journey reminds you that your current chapter doesn't have to be your final chapter.
The goal isn't just to become profitable. It's to become the kind of person who can sustain success.
Alhamdulillah. The journey continues.

Half the year is done.
So I finished backtesting my $NQ Magic Hour model.
Jan–Jun 2026 - 235 trades.
Results 📈
+124.7R
61.4% win rate
-6R max drawdown
The setup is simple:
2am, 5am, 6am and 7am NY hourly ranges.
Price sweeps the range, closes back inside on the 5m chart, then I target the midpoint using a fixed 1.5R model.
The monthly consistency in 2026 has been insane.
$ES is next.
A few tweaks to the algo this weekend uncovered something interesting...👀
5 months of 2026 has already gone,
Copy my trading plan to become profitable before the end of 2026:
1) Wait for a major liquidity sweep
2) Wait for a clean IFVG to form with good momentum
3) Enter using that IFVG with a stop loss if the candle closes back below/above the gap
4) Target opposing liquidity
Use My Trading Strategy To Get Your First Payout:
1) Wait for a major liquidity sweep
2) Wait for a clean singular IFVG to form with good momentum
3) Enter using that IFVG with a stop loss if the candle closes back below/above the gap
4) Target opposing liquidity
I trade this strategy every single day and have almost 80% Win Rate 🌞
I've been paid $1,000,000+ from prop firms, this is my simple strategy:
1) Trade during the NY AM session (9:30 - 11 AM)
2) Identify major levels of liquidity such as overnight highs and lows
3) Wait for one of these levels to sweep
4) On the lower time frames find a clean, singular FVG
5) When price closes above or below the FVG with good momentum, enter and target opposing liquidity
I trade this strategy every single day and have a 75%+ win rate 💰
