Imagine someone saying:

“I’ve been trying to get fit for six years.”

Then they admit:

“I’ve never followed a workout plan for more than three days.”

You wouldn’t conclude that exercise doesn’t work.

You’d conclude the plan was never given a chance.

The same applies to trading.

Right now, you don’t have evidence that you can’t be profitable.

You have evidence that you repeatedly interrupt the process before it can produce a result.

So forget funded accounts for a moment.

Your first goal is much smaller:

Can you follow one simple trading rule for three consecutive days?

Not make money.

Not pass an evaluation.

Just follow one rule.

For example:

•Maximum one trade per day.
•No changing stop loss.
•Fixed position size.
•Stop after the trade is over.

If you can’t do that, then your next challenge isn’t becoming profitable.

it’s building the ability to keep a promise to yourself.

Respect the plan and the market will respect you.

The path to a good life:

1. Learn trading for 2-5 years alongside your job until consistently profitable

2. Work up to $500k-1M in funded capital and aim for 3% a month ($15-30k/month)

3. Move to a cheap / low tax country so you can invest most of your income into a personal trading account, stocks and other businesses

4. Keep spending fairly low so you can achieve financial freedom quickly and aren’t completely dependant on your trading income

This is the way!

Please take the time to read all of this because it's so important you understand this

Many of you are in a downward spiral

You continue to break rules even though you know you shouldn't

Day in day out regret eating at you

And it feels like no light at the end of the tunnel

Understand you can also have an upward spiral

Human beings have an amazing capacity to do a complete 360 in behavior in the results you receive in life

Don't focus on so much at once

Focus on one trade at a time

Just focus on being disciplined on that next trade

Then repeat process

One trade a time

And before you know it....you got momentum

It becomes a habit

You start to feel proud of yourself for following the plan

You rewire your brain

You start to naturally seek that feeling of being proud of yourself

You are no longer focused on pnl and being right

You just chase that feeling of being proud that you did what you said you would do

That becomes your default setting and now you find yourself in an upward spiral of greatness

Once you make the switch....life can change QUICK

Just like how destruction happens quick

Building can too

It's a matter of flipping that switch in your brain

$1M funding prop firm.

$200K personal funding.

2 percent profit monthly.

That’s all.

[HUBA @hubatrades]

Risk 2% at phase 1 target 8%/ 10%

Risk 1% at phase 2 target 5%

Risk 0.5% at Funded target 3-4%

Get paid consistently !! From prop firms !!

[Nico @Nicolaos007]

This was my first ever profit split, more than 3 years ago.

I've NEVER blown a single funded account in my life.
I'll explain you why.

The majority of your favourite influencers who achieve massive payouts have blown countless of funded accounts, and still do.

When they boast a single 50k payout, doesn't mean they are an amazing trader, maybe above average at best.

They bought tens, if not hundreds of challenges, passed a couple and risked 3-5% on the funded account. Hit a good RR trade, request the payout and probably blew it on the next trade.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. It's one way of managing prop firm capital (which gets the most attention for obvious reasons)

But don't assume they made 50k in profits. They made 50k in revenue, probably have another 20-30k in costs of blown challenges leaving them with less profit than you think (IF ANY).

This is a high risk high reward play.
However, this method of gamifying challenges is unsustainable for you and the prop firm eventually, exponentially increasing the risk of payout denials.
(Obviously your favourite influencer won't get denied, because they act as marketing for the firm, doesn't mean you are safe...)

I treat my funded accounts differently. Every funded account I reached, I still have. Never blown.
(The only ones I've lost is because of prop firms going under, not in my control)

Because I risk 0.5% per trade. To blow the account I have to lose 20 trades in a row, which is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY to happen with my strategy and has never happened before, in live trading and even in my 5 years of backtesting.

Yes, it may be less lucrative, hence not generating 5-6 digit payouts every month.
However, I have 0 expenses (apart from copy trading software).
All profit splits are 100% profit, not revenue.

I aim for small and consistent gains to keep a constant cashflow coming in and let the capital do the heavy lifting.
2% a month, consistently on 2M worth of capital is 40k a month.

And most importantly, without having any costs & stress of over-risking and constantly having to retake challenges from scratch.

Boasting 50k prop firm payouts is like an ecom guru boasting 50k Shopify revenue. He could as well have spent 100k on ads.

But hey, it gets the clicks.

[Jay @jaycerifit]

Why it’s so important to review your past W’s before every trading session:

To program & train your mind to KNOW you’ve got this sh*t.

Imagine reviewing 20 W’s of your model 20-30 minutes before a session?

You think you’re gonna trust that model?

You think you’re gonna trust in your abilities?

You think you can wait for that clear, easy and stress free A+ set up again?

You’re damn right you will.

Now what happens when you begin pairing this with executing it consistently forward and not deviating?

All the while you see your PnL curve smoothly & steeply make a 45 degree ascent..

You are slowly programming yourself to be ONE with your algorithm and with the identity of a profitable and professional trader.

Try this for just 1 week.

Then push it to 2.

If you can surmount 60 days, you’ve formed a new habit and successfully reprogrammed your mind to fully trust and execute your model and become the trader who can scale up to millions.

This Monday is a new week and new month. There’s no better time to start than now.

Let’s close out the year with a bang 😤✊🏼

[DayTradingRauf (DTR) @daytradingrauf]

The reason most traders lack confidence when it’s time to execute a trade isn’t mindset it’s data.

If you haven’t seen something repeat in the market over and over again through backtesting or forward testing there’s no real foundation for confidence.

Confidence is built from data.

When you’ve studied a setup countless times, taking the trade becomes automatic.

Most of you hesitate, second guess, or chase because you have no data to back the conviction you think you should have. You’re not missing confidence you’re missing proof.

[J trader @jtrader]

Most traders fail because they keep searching for answers in the charts.

When the real answer is in their discipline.

Respecting your max daily loss, staying patient, and letting your edge play out over time.

That’s the highest form of mastery.

A trader who follows one model with pristine discipline for months has already won before the profits show.

[Jay @jaycerifit]

Stop focusing on your PnL and start focusing on becoming a master of your craft.

Challenge yourself to not even look at PnL for 30 days and focus solely on studying, refining and executing well.

I guarantee you’ll never look back. 🫡

[Trading Composure @TradingComposur]

Place your trade.

Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't, but you'll never know until it happens.

Be fearless in the face of uncertainty... this is your ticket to success.

[Tom @t0mbfx]

All you need to do is build a profitable strategy

Find one online, backtest it, make sure it has an edge

Then continue to backtest it and live trade it - taking away anything that hurts it’s performance

Once you have a profitable system you can scale to $200k, $500k, $1m in funding in less than a year

From there all you need is 3% per month and you’re doing $360k/year from trading for 1-2 hours a day

Not a bad life is it?

[J trader @jtrader]

You don’t need a new system.

You need 90 days of obedience to the one you already have.

That’s where transformation happens.

[Tom @t0mbfx]

2 years ago I was broke and working as a bricklayer

This year I’ve done $300k in prop firm payouts

Here’s how you can find a profitable trading system (and change your life like I did):

[Tom @t0mbfx]

The biggest mindset shift you’ll get is when you realise most of the profitable traders take way less trades than you think

I cannot stress this enough

No matter what strategy you use

Liquidity is everything it is the market to its core

If you don't understand liquidity then you as the result will be that liquidity

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

The surgeon is not thinking about dollar signs while he is operating on the patient

He is focused on his craft

If he is good at what he does he is compensated appropriately

You as a trader MUST be the same way

You're a surgeon too....but with the charts

You are dissecting the price action and making good trades

Money does not come to your mind...you are just doing your job and your job is to make good decisions to make good trades

You will be paid based on how good of a job you do over the LONG TERM

That is how you win this game

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

Record your trades as well

Does you alot of good

While you are taking the trade talk through your thought process what you see on the charts

The after it plays out go back re watch it and then compare with what happened

Study what you missed

No one talks about this but it speeds up your learning curve

[tylerg @TylerG_Capital]

Please trust me when I tell you this. I had my first ever 6 figure month when I mastered the art of “WAITING” and “PATIENCE” I know it seems like such a simple thing but it’s not. Your emotions are very powerful and can overtake rational thinking. I can almost guarantee 95% of the struggling traders out there lack this skill. Please let the market come to you. It will create a huge shift in your profitability as a trader. 🤝💯
