How This FTMO Trader Made Over $100,000 🤯 

Let’s start with some perspective.

The average annual salary in the U.S. is $59,384. 🇺🇲 

Not too shabby.

But now, imagine making nearly double that in just a couple of months.

Well, that’s what one trader recently did at FTMO, pulling in over $100,000 in profit in a couple of months.

That’s like stacking a year’s worth of paychecks before your coffee has time to get cold. 🥶 

But here’s the kicker: it wasn’t just blind luck or throwing around massive risk (like we see most traders do).

This trader used a unique risk approach that was the secret sauce to getting this payout.

Let’s talk about it.

How did he do it? 🤔 

Most traders either risk small or risk big.

But this trader decided that the key is actually to do both but at different times. 🔑 

The strategy is simple but powerful: start small, then scale.

To start, the trader kept the risk low—somewhere between 0.5% and 1% per trade (that’s Pip Munch Approved ✅)

But once a nice 20% cushion was in place?

He upped the risk to 2%, riding the momentum from there. 🚀 

It’s like starting a poker game by playing tight, then going all-in when you’ve built a decent stack.

Combining this dynamic risk approach with the wild market moves we saw in September and October, this trader cashed in over $106,000. 🤑 

Why is this important? 🔐 

Most traders blow their accounts by betting too big, too early.

This guy did the opposite: he played it safe, built up some cushion, and only then did he increase his risk.

It’s like wearing a helmet before doing stunts—you need some protection before going big.

This is exactly what I did back in 2021-2022 when I took my prop firm challenges as well.

• I started by risking 1% on a minimum 2:1 RR trade.

• If the first trade is a loss, I’d cut my risk in half to 0.5% until I was back at breakeven.

• Once I was up 3%, I would increase my risk to 2-2.5%. If it was a winner, I’d then be only 1-3% away from passing. If it was a loser, I was still at breakeven or better.

• I’d just continue this dynamic risk until passing!

Here's another kicker: the trader isn’t just focused on making massive withdrawals. He keeps 10-30% of the profits in his account to cover any potential losing streaks.

Smart move. 🧠 

After all, not every month gives you 100k opportunities.

Takeaways for traders:

1. Dynamic risk strategy: This could be the game-changer you’ve been looking for. Start small, then increase your risk only when you’ve built a buffer. Think of it like building a safety net before you take bigger swings.

2. Keep some profits in the account: Nobody ever loses money by giving themselves more breathing room. Unfortunately, not every month will be a $100k month, so leaving some extra funds to ride out the tough times can be smart.

3. The power of prop firms: Nobody is making this kind of money with a small personal trading account. That’s why going all-in on prop firms right now is the highest leverage thing a trader can do.

Your Weekly Trading Outlook 👀✅ 

Alright, traders, this week could be wild! Let’s dive into everything you need to know.

But first, let’s remember what’s happening in the big picture:

1. Global liquidity is rising with interest rates getting slashed and stimulus entering the market. 🌎️ 

2. This usually boosts asset prices (think stocks & crypto). 📈 

3. If that happens, our risk-on currencies (like CAD, NZD, AUD) tend to outperform safe havens like USD, CHF, and JPY. 💪 

4. The caveat is that the US economy is still the strongest in the world and with inflation still being a pest, US rates will remain higher for longer (and that includes the US dollar). 🇺🇲 

Okay, with that in mind, here’s what’s happening this week.

• Tuesday: UK unemployment should hold at 4.1%, and Canada’s inflation is expected to cool from 2% to 1.8%. Lower inflation in Canada? That’s a green light for more rate cuts. 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 

• Wednesday: UK inflation may dip to 1.9%, potentially taking some steam out of the GBP. Meanwhile, Australia’s unemployment is set to stay at 4.2%, keeping the AUD steady. 🇬🇧🇦🇺 

• Thursday: The ECB is expected to cut rates from 3.65% to 3.4%, which could take some wind out of the EUR sails. Lower rates = cheaper Euros = more room for USD to shine. 🇪🇺 

Remember, any time data waivers from the expected print, the market can get insanely bipolar and volatile. 🎢 

So make sure you watch these events closely not to get burned.
