How I Became a Funded Trader in 60 Days
December 16, 2024
In October 2024, I wanted to become a funded trader and pass two FunderPro challenges. The plan was to leverage my expertise and the power of three essential tools from my suite of products: FunderPro, TradeLocker, and TradesAI.
This wasn’t just about passing a challenge; it was about staying intimately connected to the tools I’ve built and showcasing their effectiveness in a real-world scenario.
By December, I successfully became a funded trader, passing both challenges—a $25,000 one phase account and a $100,000 two phase account—proving the potential of my methodology and the products I’ve developed.

The Strategy
Higher Timeframes and Longer Trades (find this in my trading guide).
From the outset, I knew I needed a clear and disciplined approach to these challenges. Many funded traders focus on rapid trades and lower timeframes, but I chose to pivot towards a more strategic path. My strategy revolved around higher timeframes and longer trades.
Why? Because this method aligns better with disciplined risk management and allows for well-thought-out decision-making rather than reacting impulsively to short-term market fluctuations.

Higher timeframes provide a broader perspective of market trends, enabling me to identify key opportunities without being swayed by minor price movements. By committing to longer trades, I could let my positions mature, capturing the full potential of market swings.
This approach proved to work as it helped me pass two evaluations.
The Timeline
Another critical element was taking my time. These challenges were not about rushing to achieve results in days but rather about allowing weeks for my strategy to play out. Patience became the reason of my success.
By maintaining risk management with in 1-2% per trade and focusing on moving with overall market trends, I was able to consistently make sound decisions without unnecessary pressure.

The Value of a Trading Partner
Having a trading partner can significantly enhance your trading journey. A trusted partner brings a second set of eyes to your trades, offering alternative perspectives that can help you identify potential risks or opportunities you might overlook.
They also provide accountability, ensuring you stick to your strategy and risk management plan. Collaboration allows for shared learning, where both partners can exchange insights, strategies, and feedback, ultimately leading to improved performance.
Whether it’s brainstorming ideas or staying motivated during challenging periods, the support of a trading partner can be invaluable.
