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?

Spoke to a trader recently who has failed 350 Challenges and lost around $40K I spent nearly a year blowing accounts before my first payout If that's you right now, you're not the only one

Controversial The profit split is the least important number on a prop firm's website Read the payout rules, the news rules and what happens to your account if they move you to live

Week Ahead for Gold is up on my Instagram, @taggarfx Levels marked, paths drawn Now it's waiting for price to come to them

No setup at your level, no trade Boredom isn't a signal

If you could only trade one session for the next year, which one? Asia, London or New York

Challenge #32 breached I kept trading it anyway Took it to +$32,157 On an account that could never pay me a cent

Hot take If someone shows you a 70% win rate at 1:3, ask for the full trade history export Mine is 9,013 trades and plenty of them are ugly

Mark your levels before the week starts If price doesn't reach one, there's no trade Sitting on your hands counts as work

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
