Monday made me +$216,573 across 143 FTMO accounts Thursday afternoon was the weakest patch of my whole week Same markets, same trader Have you ever split your results by day of the week?

GameStop and AMC are the reason I learned to read a chart I already held stocks and crypto and had no idea what I was looking at when they went parabolic That sent me to babypips, then a 20-hour course, then a live account I lost money on

I've had 6 day-one Challenge passes The one people ask about is #33 Three sells in one session, +$20,825 Fast passes feel great and teach you nothing about Phase 2

Average win: $1,189 Average loss: $705 At that ratio a 44% win rate still pays Stop chasing a higher win rate and look at the size of your winners

What's the longest you've ever held a winning trade?

My biggest ever win was +$28,930 on Gold Held for 11 days If your plan never lets a trade run past the session, it caps your best days

Controversial A Challenge fee is an education cost until your first payout I've paid £62,040 in Challenge fees £25,380 of that came back as refunds

I once had 40 lots on GBPUSD $400 a pip Every 10 pips was $4,000 either way My size came down a long way after that

Days I took 4–6 trades averaged +$861 Days I took 11 or more averaged around -$2,700 Write your max trades for the day down before London opens

CPI, NFP or FOMC Which one do you refuse to hold a trade through?

Challenge #173 Up $16,164 on day one Failed $3,836 short of the target The last $3,836 took longer than the first $16,164 and I never got there

Prove me wrong A stop loss is the cheapest thing in trading My FTMO trades with a stop made +$981,351 at a 1.87 profit factor In 2022 I used one on 30% of trades By 2025 it was 86%

Trades sized at up to 1 lot per $100K made me +$284,087 across my FTMO accounts Between 2022 and 2025 my average size went from 2.5 lots to 1.2 lots per $100K What size are you trading per $100K?

41 instruments in 2022 8 by 2025 Pick the market you know best and say no to the rest

CFD prop firm or futures prop firm Which one are you on, and why?

When I joined the Bear & Bull FX trading floor in London, everyone in the room had been taught a similar strategy Every one of them traded it differently Different risk, different targets, different stage of life That room is where I stopped overtrading
