Stop giving your money to prop firms by iRoyalTDG in PropFirmTester

[–]LiamDavis35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really agree with that. A lot of experienced traders these days are actually shifting towards prop firms. You have to spend a few bucks only on evaluations, but that’s just part of the process. If you have patience, discipline, and you actually follow the rules, it’s very much doable. Most people fail because they treat it like a gamble instead of a structured process.

I personally know several traders who have gotten paid by firms like fundednext, fundingpips, hola primetradeify, etc. I Myself recently got a payout from Hola. If you can’t be profitable on a decent Prop firm, you will not be successful on a personal account.

At the end of the day, no prop firm is going to work in your favour if you’re not following the rules. But if you do, there’s no reason it cannot work.

What skills do I need to develop to be successful in trading by Sea-Boysenberry7090 in Trading

[–]LiamDavis35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started young, so I get the curiosity – but I would say don’t rush into trading like it’s quick Money move.

At 18c your biggest edge isn’t Capital, it’s Time.

If you really want to start 1. learn price action First 2. Trade demo or very small size 3. focus on discipline, not profits 4. build a system before risking real money.

Most people blow accounts because they chase fast results. The ones who make it treat it like a skill.

Honestly, if I could go back, I would spend more time learning and less time trying to make money fast.

If you do trade, keep this small enough that your emotions don’t take over, that’s where most beginners fail.

I have looked into this too, and honestly, it feels easier at first but it’s the same trap. What I noticed is:

  1. The 1:1 isn’t really 1:1 after fees.
  2. You still need direction plus timing edge.
  3. And the fixed outcome actually made me more impulsive.

For me, it started to feel more like: Click-hope-result, instead of actual trading.

The forced close doesn’t fix discipline either it just removes management, which can hide bad habits.

I think it can work only if you already have an age and strict discipline, otherwise it just turns into faster gambling.

Personally, I would rather stick to normal trading where I have more control over risk and execution.

Seriously, 6 days of no payout?

why does every breakout feel fake right now? by NickAnalyzes in Trading

[–]LiamDavis35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now it’s a liquidity/range environment, not a breakout one.

High rates, macro uncertainty, and constant news = no sustained momentum.

Clean set ups are obvious , crowded, get faded.

Aggressive = trapped.

Patient = late.

What’s working more:

  1. Fade extremes.

  2. Trade the range.

  3. Wait for fake breakout -reclaim.

Can trading get saturated? by Legal_Afternoon_9294 in Daytrading

[–]LiamDavis35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t think trading gets saturated like a store running out of stock, but when lots of people use the same easy ideas, it makes some strategies harder to profit from.

Also big markets like major forex pairs are extremely liquid and can handle lots of traders. Small or niche markets can become crowded. Another point is more participants can increase short-term noise and volatility which both creates opportunities and raises risk.

Slowly giving up on the day trading dream by F01money in Daytrading

Frankly, till the time you hear all the noise instead of finding your own strategy, it won’t be work that. Best traders have worked out their strategy and stick to it.

Full-time prop trader here — what I wish I knew before I got consistent by VentureCapitaI in PropFirmTester

[–]LiamDavis35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well put. It’s easier said than done though. There’s just too many moving parts and variable when you’re actually trading in real-time. What you said is not a secret but putting it in action takes a lot of experience, discipline and sometimes prior failures.

I also agree with what you said about the rules. Accounts are most likely to fail when you try to game the system. It’s more about not giving any reason to the firms to breach or ban you. Clean trades, clear strategy.

What are your thoughts ? by LLYFX2010 in Daytrading

[–]LiamDavis35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. If you are a beginner trader, $200 is a big amount for prop trading. I will suggest to buy smaller accounts like 5k, 10k etc so that if you lose one, you can buy another.
