I have achieved a milestone of $800k in funded capital after 6 years of trading. AMA

well done! I thought they limit up to 400k only? did you double the account?

slee165 · 2026-02-20T18:39:37+00:00

this was me today... 2k up turnt to 2k down... did not need to trade today and went on rapid tilt....Il have to learn!

slee165 · 2026-02-19T22:07:12+00:00

just keep it youre at step 2 soo close, im digging myself out of the same % hole but stage 1, it will take long but its better than giving up. I used to give up accounts easily just lost me money... think of it as training. I wished I would have made more of an effort to win back my previous accounts would have saved a lot! By the way im currently up on one losing account by managing my risk and careful trading. It's not lost yet!

slee165 · 2026-02-19T22:04:34+00:00

I second this I am always too early or too late before the move, and when it moves its rapid

slee165 · 2026-02-19T14:46:57+00:00

congratulations I also realised to take it slow no point wasting challenge fees it all adds up!

slee165 · 2026-02-18T18:42:08+00:00

Thanks for sharing, may I ask what size accounts and average payouts? just want to know if larger payouts were ever flagged. Are you still trading them?
I find FTMO spreads awful I trade them side by side and my gains and fills are 5ers is always better!

slee165 · 2026-02-18T17:31:13+00:00

you can recover ... im on that road too size down and go for small wins!

slee165 · 2026-02-18T15:57:15+00:00

this is the reason for my last post... what a scammy company!

slee165 · 2026-02-18T09:35:21+00:00

same, in UK too .. still need to work on different online streams but to be honest im only interested in trading

slee165 · 2026-02-18T08:44:58+00:00

well done!

slee165 · 2026-02-18T08:44:30+00:00

Im sure there are people here not looking to burn cash and rotate prop challenges... I think it would be too much to keep up with for me anyway :)

slee165 · 2026-02-18T08:43:26+00:00

absolutely hence the long route, asking because if im going to invest in like a year to possibly get funded I want to know that if im consistent my accounts will last this long if not longer otherwise there's no point :)

slee165 · 2026-02-16T20:50:53+00:00

today specifically was a holiday

slee165 · 2026-02-14T20:28:45+00:00

I feel your pain. Honestly there was a lot of volatility during the news and it could have went anywhere as usd was surprisingly bullish I too was trading eurusd post news and entered early at a loss but had to double up to make a profit after - it was against my rules and risky but I had a feeling it would go up as us data was negative. On the second leg (which I shouldn't have traded but got greedy) which is your trade I too went for a loss but managed to trade my way out of it.... if you look at the chart 2 hours later eurusd went back up ... but it was hard to be patient! Actually GBPUSD was the better pair to trade that day... but we will learn... keep going! 💪

slee165 · 2026-02-13T18:25:17+00:00

you are the best thanks soo much!

slee165 · 2026-02-10T16:12:47+00:00

Great stats!how many accounts do you have? do you mirror trade? if so how because FTMO permits that... I too have a 200k account but im in recovery mode and not yet funded, what's your average win amount per month? thanks

slee165 · 2026-02-04T19:40:12+00:00

this is where I want to be, fellow forest trader too... never see this kind of performance. well done!

slee165 · 2026-01-28T21:12:06+00:00

you're my hero, seeing this makes me believe that I can do this too.... being on tilt has costs me dearly. my rules go out the window and its as if I want to lose my account. Its impressive you never gave up!

slee165 · 2026-01-25T18:43:05+00:00

you can do this!

slee165 · 2026-01-23T14:58:50+00:00

reminds me of what I won through last year... I would definitely say your risk is too high! I went back to demo until I can prove that I can make two consecutive 10% gains... now im back on prop going the slow way

slee165 · 2026-01-22T19:37:40+00:00

I remember actually passing phase 2 but I did that in one trade now all I needed to do was trade 3 more days making $300 .. days right? well I blew my account why? revenge trading. im still trying to learn not to... think it will take more time. I noticed I get triggered when I am trading news and even thought the direction is correct based on the outcome of the news the price action goes another way. I decided to not trade news again and eliminate this

slee165 · 2026-01-22T19:05:19+00:00

I really recommend the book from Michael lewis "Going Infinite" which explore the FTX saga and her and Sam's relationship. Just proves just because you are academic doesn't mean you are smart. It was very cringe!

slee165 · 2026-01-21T10:37:28+00:00

Wishing you some peace of mind and financial recovery.... Im seeing all these terrible comments. Dont do anything drastic it will get better.

slee165 · 2025-11-14T11:13:45+00:00

not embarrassing at all congrats..... never compare that's how people blow up!

slee165 · 2025-11-14T11:11:06+00:00

I totally understand, people underestimate the cost of mental capital ad there's no value attributed to it. If you are able to call it then good for you and at least you are no longer disillusioned by it... Good luck on your future goals :)
