Preparation & independenceRead the full storyFrom a losing month to a funded challenge passed in 2.5 weeks.
A losing month, 4 losses and 1 breakeven, had turned into impatience and pressure to win it back.
He stopped trading to clear his head. The mentors kept him on one rule: stay out when unsure, protect positions before data, never force a trade to recover.
Confidence came back trade by trade. 9 weeks later he hit the 10% phase-1 requirement of his challenge in 2.5 weeks.
- NNicoStudent
Monthly update: not happy with how this month went, 4 losses and 1 BE trade, got caught in the volatility regarding Trump tariffs and feels like I mistimed some of the trades when my fundamental bias was right. I felt myself getting impatient and frustrated so decided not to trade to clear those emotions.
- PMauriceMentor
Overall, I like the trade, just set to BE before the GDP data or close if you're near your TP and you're good! Totally fine that other trade ideas didn't work out, it's better to stay out than to force any.
- +2.52% tradeNNicoStudent
I ended up taking profit on the gold trade around ATH, made 2.52%, it was before I read your message so happy that I made the decision myself. I'm slowly starting to regain confidence after last month's poor performance. Feel in a pretty good mental state as well.
- PStevenMentor
In this kind of environment it's better to stay out if you're unsure about the markets. And especially if you can't monitor the markets throughout the day.
- NNicoStudent
Monthly update from me. Had 16 trades in total, 9 wins, 5 losses and 2 BE. Even though my winrate was not bad, my risk management was not the best this month, ending up with 0.93% profit overall. Learned a lot this month, especially regarding event trades.
- 10% in 2.5 wksNNicoStudent
Hi guys hope all is well. Just wanted to let you know that I achieved the 10% profit requirement for phase 1 challenge in 2.5 weeks, all thanks to PPT.

A blown account in June. FTMO passed and his biggest profit ever by December.
After a strong spring he wanted a big win before a holiday, dropped his rules and his journal, and lost his account and his FTMO account in 2 days.
The mentors did not hand him a new strategy. They put the journal back at the centre, so the trades could be reviewed, and he cut the number of trades and rebuilt the routine.
By December he had regained his confidence, passed the FTMO challenges, made his first withdrawals and closed the year with his biggest profit ever: $30,000.
- MMarcoStudent
Trading is going very well at the moment, I have found a very good calm way to trade. I am almost no longer stressed during the week in relation to trading and I haven't felt any FOMO since the summer. I am very happy with how things are going at the moment. That is thanks to you.
- Strong AprilMMarcoStudent
April was a very good month for me. I was totally in tunnel mode and was able to focus on the markets like never before. It was great for me to see once again that, thanks to the PPT system, I now know what I have to do and when, and that I have confidence in the system and it pays off.
- MMarcoStudent
For some reason I got it into my head that it would be great if I could make a big profit before the holiday and then have a bit more money to spend. But what happened next was absolutely terrible. I had pretty much neglected all my rules, stopped keeping a journal.
- PStevenMentor
Well, here's the point of the journal. Right now we have no way of understanding your trades and no way of genuinely helping out by reviewing them.
- MMarcoStudent
Now I really try to focus on what I'm doing right now and do it right rather than try to focus on 100 things at the same time. It feels better, somehow way more calm. Joining your team was really the best decision of my life.
- MMarcoStudent
I will try to make fewer trades from now on and make better quality trades and reduce the number accordingly. I also want to have all trades in the journal at all times. I will be doing the PPT process again.
- MMarcoStudent
Things are going well for me. I've regained my confidence and am back in the trading game. I've unlocked two new FTMO accounts. I'm making far fewer trades than six months ago, and their quality has noticeably improved.
- $30,000 yearMMarcoStudent
It's truly impressive how much has changed since I joined your program. I finally passed the FTMO challenges, made my first withdrawals, and closed the year with my biggest profit ever: $30,000.

From an evaluation that took a year to €160k funded and a first payout.
A year in one evaluation, sitting at -5%, no funded account, and a small personal account under real financial pressure.
Marcio's advice: scale in steps. Start with a smaller challenge, pass it, use the profits to buy the next one, keep the pressure out of the trading.
The best week of his trading history in March, +6% in May, €160k funded in July and a first payout 3 weeks later.
- LLucaStudent
I don't have a funded account. The account was in the evaluation with around -5% which took me the whole last year.
- +6.65% weekLLucaStudent
Hey guys, I will call it a week here. 6.65% this week... the best week in my whole trading history.
- €250 to €650LLucaStudent
The account started by 250 euros and is now at 650. I feel comfortable right now. Mostly also because I am profitable.
- PMarcioMentor
Funding overall is nothing bad in general. I think I would go for it now while you still can focus. Maybe take it slowly and start with a smaller amount like 10k to 50k and pass that one first, after that take profits to buy the next one. That way you still have enough money to repair the car and get to work.
- +6% monthLLucaStudent
I am currently up 6% this month. So far very happy. Got another 160k which I wanted to bring up and then merge together.
- €160k fundedLLucaStudent
160k Euro funded. Before I hopefully can send you a payout screenshot, I want to thank all of you. Honestly! Especially for the opportunity you gave me at the end of last year with the subscription, and for the always clear advice and the sometimes needed warm words. You guys built an awesome ecosystem and I am happy to be a part and able to learn from you.
- First payoutLLucaStudent
Hey guys, requested my first payout now. It's 3.33%. Not that huge, but in my journal for this month I am at 9.
- LLucaStudent
The right knowledge, combined with the right system, has been invaluable to my current achievements. Knowing what to look out for and having proof that the system is profitable allows me to handle bad days without getting discouraged. A loss within the right system no longer bothers me.

From “I don’t know what to focus on” to a weekend routine and owning his own decisions.
He could analyze the market, but reached every weekend without a plan and did not know which pairs deserved his attention.
Steven gave him a filtering sequence instead of an opinion: candidate pairs, research consensus, data and sentiment, central banks, then an alignment check. Daniel built his own overview around it within 2 days.
+2% in April and +2% in May 2024, his first months feeling confident in his positions. Two years later he sets the pace of his own development and asks for feedback without giving up the decision.
- DDanielStudent
I don't feel well prepared and therefore don't know what to focus on during the week. So I find it difficult to decide on the best pairs. That's exactly what I'm missing, a kind of filtering process.
- PStevenMentor
A filtering process is basically going through all the steps. Do the PPT excel process and create the pairs you would like to trade. Look at what the research says about those currencies, the majority view and its horizon. From the headlines and the economic calendar, see what the sentiment is and what is forecast for next week. Know which indicators are leading and which are lagging, and what each central bank is focusing on. Then combine it.
- DDanielStudent
I have created a simple overview to have all possible trading ideas in front of me and to be able to proceed more systematically and efficiently. I think that will help me to have a better focus on everything.
- +2% AprilDDanielStudent
I finished April with +2%. It is not much but it was my first month where I felt pretty confident in my positions.
- +2% MayDDanielStudent
I ended May up +2% again. Overall, I've found that my weekend preparation is essential for me as I tend to get hectic during the week if I haven't generated clear trading ideas over the weekend. So that's something I'm getting better at, that I can relax during the week and do the biggest work of market prep at the weekend.
- DDanielStudent
I've decided to hold off on the Junior Trader module for now. I'm still focusing on properly implementing the knowledge from the Associate Trader level. My main priority right now is to get my small funding account and build consistency with what I've already learned. Moving on to the next module while the foundation is still a bit shaky would feel like skipping essential steps.
- DDanielStudent
I don't expect you to let me ride my bike with training wheels forever. You don't need to worry that this will sabotage my own decision-making process. I think I have been here too long for that and have already made enough mistakes and learned from them. So: I will report back here as usual and also now more live.
