1. Test different strategies Go onto YouTube and search different trading strategies Make a list of the ones that you see people having success with and want to try For example: •ICT •Support & resistance •Fundamentals-based trading •Automated trading (if you have coding

2. Get data on your strategy As soon as you have chosen your strategy - it’s time to get data on it You can do this by: •Backtesting → on a platform like FXReplay or Tradezella •Forward-testing → on a demo account or small live account (this is normal trading) Note that

Try to get 300+ trades worth of data in backtesting and forward-testing Journal all of your live trades, say why you entered, how you managed it, the result of the trade, how it could’ve been better, etc You don’t have to write all this down for your backtested trades, but just

3. Calculating your risk per trade Check out your data to see what your biggest drawdown period was OR if you know your average RR and win-rate per trade, input it into a website like ‘equity curve simulator’ to see what your biggest drawdown might be From there you’ll be able

4. Finding good prop firms Once you’re profitable on a demo or small live account for a few months, it’s time to look at buying prop firm challenges This is the easiest way to increase your capital and scale your trading as a new trader But there are SO MANY scam prop firms

5. Approaching prop firms You should only purchase prop firm accounts that you can afford to buy multiple times Even if that means the lowest account size possible Then you should trade it aggressively (2% risk per trade) during the challenge phase, then switch to 1% per trade

6. Sticking with your strategy From here, it’s all about sticking with your strategy No matter if you’re winning or if you’re in drawdown, if your strategy has an edge (which you would’ve found out in the data-collection phase) then it will come good eventually Look at this

@t0mbfx Main thing for me was journal every possible variable that you can control and eliminate the ones doing damage to your trading, eg… a PDArray that just doesn’t suit you and gives you more losses than not, or take a trade before open causing you to lose more than not etc…
