@hotaru_trader Great posts & blog. Amazing achievement on the payouts. Keep up the good work 👍🏽

@TheeDawgg @FTMO_com Yes, check my pinned tweet. I’ve done it many times I.e had a position at 0.75% or 1% and added a pyramid, then moved my stops within 30 seconds or so so that risk is back below 1%.

Trading update #5 - 19 months into my trading journey - 12 weeks into my 2nd ever funded account ($400k @FTMO_com) ✅Withdrawn $52,000+ (13%+) 📈Current balance (Rolled over): $9,000 (2.25%) I am now ONE 4% withdrawal away from my goal of @FTMO_com PRIME & 1 month away from a $100k scale up I could just make 1.75% & cruise or start sizing down but I am focused on the process of trading. A good day is purely defined by whether I followed my trading plan or not I am still copy trading $1.2M additional capital to this account. Most are still in P1 The closest is 5% required on my P2 $100k @fundingpips to become 600k funded ($100k @the5erstrading funded achieved in my last update) Probably the craziest statistic is that I’ve reached the 12 week mark without ever going over 1% maximum drawdown. It feels surreal to say that but that’s the reality of my risk management plan which includes rolling over ~2% of my balance as a buffer. Lastly, as you can see the payout account's stats are almost identical to the last cycles which I shared 3 weeks ago. This shows consistency in my trading.

Journal during the week. Review at the end of the week. Find similarities between your losses. Make rules to prevent these losses I.e limit screen time, don’t take countertrend trades, don’t trade 09:30 open, when funded your first trade must be an A+ etc. You have to make 1000 mistakes and correct them before you become consistently profitable. It requires hard work everyday and you have to be aware & switched on everyday to not do stupid things. Track your rule following once your rules are established and aim for 5/5 rule following days a week, don’t focus on the PnL calendar focus on your rule following calendar.

Road to FTMO Prime - Payout 1/4 ✅ Restarting this series with a 4% payout on my 400k funded @FTMO_com account For background: - I am currently 2.5 years into trading & funded only for the 4th time ever ($900,000). - I quit my job as a doctor & went full-time into trading on Day 1. - I became profitable after month 14 & have withdrawn ~$200,000 since then. 12 months ago I posted a series where I reached 3 payouts of 4% which I have quoted on this tweet. I then reached 4% on my next cycle. From that moment onwards my trading completely flipped - almost all my trades were not according to my plan and I ended up blowing up. I later found out, with the help of a trading & mindset coach, this was due to self sabotage. This is something I had never heard of before and didn’t even know existed until I experienced it. I won’t get into it here as it’s a 3000 word thread in itself but to define it: Self-sabotage in trading is a psychological pattern where a trader consciously or unconsciously engages in self-defeating behaviours that violate their own system and destroy hard-earned profits. It can occur when a trader nears a breakthrough or a new financial benchmark, triggering deep-seated subconscious discomfort. It’s hard to appreciate as it makes no logical sense but many things in trading psychology don’t - such as why we don’t follow our rules when we know we should. I may expand on this in a later thread if it generates interest but I’m sure many people have experienced this unknowingly and couldn’t explain it. Knowing what it is is the first step to making sure it doesn’t happen again. At that point I was only 18 months into trading and had only been funded for the 2nd time ever. I still had a lot to learn & many lessons were learnt in the aftermath of the blow-up. I have developed my trading & psychology a lot since then and will share the ups, downs & lessons as much as I can through the journey to PRIME and then SUPREME. I will also be sharing a trade breakdown of the single best trade that gets me to the 4% milestone for every cycle. If I trade my strategy well, each 4% payout should come from only 1 or 2 trades, risking 0.75% per trade. In short, it is a @I_Am_The_ICT OSOK/Silver bullet strategy but for complete reference, I have shared my primary model in a detailed 3500+ word post which I’ve now pinned to my profile. Tomorrow I will post the NQ OSOK trade breakdown that netted me the 4% payout this week. My current copy trading setup (using @tradersconnect_) is: Master account: - 100k Funded @fundingpips (2-step) Slaves: - 200k Funded @fundingpips (2-step) - 400k Funded @FTMO_com (2-step) - 100k newly Funded @the5erstrading (just became funded with my last trade) - 100k @QtFunded 2-step elite (although I’m not expecting to be paid from this with the state they’re in) - 100k @DarwinexZero undergoing calibration (7/15 days) Follow & set alerts to see the journey. I always try to reply to every comment so if you have any questions feel free to ask.

@EbulueP @FTMO_com You're welcome. It's quite a complex subject but I can give some pointers: - Before every action we start with a thought. Once I hit my FTMO prime target, I was suddenly coming to the screen feeling demotivated. I could sense it. Before entering trades I could sense anxiety

@dy_coolman @FTMO_com Thanks. Check my pinned thread. I go into detail on pyramiding positions whilst reducing risk. I started with a 14 lot position and 1% risk. 8 hours later I had build up a 30 lot position with 0.25%-0.5% total risk.

@kareemcapital @fundingpips Sure no worries Kareem. Glad I’m not the only one 😂. You’re welcome

#ES One Shot One Kill Of The Week🎯(OSOK) Breakdown Thread #1 (1/14) 🧵 As promised, here’s the complete, 2,500 word breakdown of the single best trade that got my 4% payout #1 in my Road To FTMO PRIME series I took this one across $700k funded (300k @fundingpips + 400k @FTMO_com ) Similar to my pinned $120k #EURUSD breakdown, I’ll walk you through the logic from Monthly → Weekly → Daily → 4H/1H → 15m → 1m timeframes, showing my full market structure logic and execution. Every single time frame was in alignment just as in my previous breakdown thread.

@Leverage_god @FTMO_com Between 2-6 weeks on average. 1.25% maximum risk for A/A+. My strategy typically yields 30-40% WR with average R around 3-4

@zingtrades @I_Am_The_ICT @fundingpips @FTMO_com You’re welcome. Study hard 𓀓𓀝

$120,000 EURUSD trade breakdown + teaching thread Wednesday 4th Feb provided an A+ Signature @I_Am_The_ICT OHLC OSOK set up I took this trade across all my $1,500,000 of copy traded CFD capital which includes: 200k funded @fundingpips 400k funded @FTMO_com 100k funded @the5erstrading 200k funded @AlphaCapitalUK + 500k additional evals (@QtFunded , Alpha cap etc) + 100k @DarwinexZero account which is undergoing calibration Study this thread which has taken me 12 hours+ to make (I’m not kidding) with a 3500 word count WITHOUT AI because this is a repeating pattern in the market. There's 22 parts and I will share my entire trade logic and advanced analysis of market structure from a Weekly -> Daily -> 1hrly -> 15m -> 1 minute/5 second (execution) timeframe.

I can’t advise you on that as it’s such a big life decision. I can only say that for me, staying in medicine couldn’t give me the life that I wanted to live. Trading was a big risk with no guarantees, but at least it gave me a chance at living the life I wanted. I’m still not there with it yet and things can change fast but I don’t regret it

@EbulueP @FTMO_com You have to make every mistake in trading 2 or 3 times so don’t feel so bad. It’s part of the learning curve. As long as you journal or make a rule to stop this happening again, it was just another lesson and part of the game. Wishing you good luck.

@TraderIsaacX @FTMO_com Thank you, and to you too

@The_Quant_ @FTMO_com Keep going my friend. Give every single day 100% and you’ll be here sooner than you think

@mrcaleb01 @FTMO_com Thanks Caleb. I appreciate that 👊🏽

Closing up (14/14) 🧵 My 300k @fundingpips accounts are on 100% monthly split so I am withdrawing that in 2 weeks but I have withdrawn on FTMO. I will continue trading normally from Monday as I don't rotate accounts and just trade them all connected as one. And finally here is the 1st 4% FTMO withdrawal & the account stats for this cycle. I still caught trades with my other models in the lead up to this but as you can see nothing compares to the actual OSOK trade. If you found this helpful, have any questions or want to provide feedback please do and I will endeavour to reply
