My biggest ever trading day got even better! Got the $300k login details and made another $20k on that account!

$50k for the day on the funded accounts🥂

Even when you do make money from trading, you don’t know how much you will make or when it will come.

You don't have to win every single month of the year to be profitable long term.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

In 2025, 80% of my profits were made in the first 3 months of the year.

This is something you might experience in your trading.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

If you are expecting to win every trade, every week or every month. Quit trading.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

Backtest your last 6 months of live trading and compare your results.

This is a good way to identify mistakes you might me making live vs on previous data.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

If you traded a prop firm account and a personal account simultaneously, your results would vary greatly.

By the time you’re already up 15% on personal funds, you still haven’t made a penny on the prop firm.

The main benefit of trading with prop firms is that you only need to make a small % on the funded to outweigh all the losses.

The downside is that it feels like you’re wasting profits sometimes.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

If you are an average trader, you are a losing trader.

If you are doing the same as everyone else, you will lose.

Do more.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

Changing your chart colours won’t suddenly make you profitable!

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

The more you win after breaking your rules, the harder it will be to follow them in the future.

Being rewarded for mistakes is the worst thing that can happen to you as a trader.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

The more you lose, the less emotionally attached you’re going to be to your trades.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

You don’t have to be the best trader in the world to make an insane amount of money.

You don’t even have to be better than the people you see online.

So, stop caring what they think and what they’re doing!

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

Trading gives you true freedom but also a lot of stress.

You can't have one without the other.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

It probably isn't a good trait for a trader but I absolutely hate losing.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

You can't put in part-time hours and expect full-time trader profits.

You need to put in the work if you want the results, it's that simple.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

If you learn to trade the right way, it will be very hard for you to fail.

It will be hard to unlearn bad habits if you have been taught wrong.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

@sirCharIess @rise_pay This has nothing to do with a firm not paying, rise isn’t a prop firm

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

@rise_pay great customer support👍🙄

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

The best traders I know are completely obsessed with trading.

It is basically all they can think about.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

@SterlingDeskFX You missed the point.

Compounding is compounding.

Use your money to make more money.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

Remember this photo when you think your gains seem insignificant right now.

[William Aldridge @willssfx]

@Greckothe1 Most definitely😂
