How To Get Funded In October 🤑 

It’s October 2nd, and the clock is ticking.  

There are only three months left in 2024.

If you're serious about getting funded and hitting your trading goals before the year ends, you need to get moving—fast.

But don’t worry, Pip Munch has your back.

If you're going to make this happen, you need to be focused, tactical, and ruthless.

Here are five actionable steps to set yourself up for success and get funded before the ball drops on New Year's Eve.

1/ Be Real About Time 🕒

2024 is almost over, and you’ve got just 90 days left.

That’s not a lot of time to complete a prop firm challenge, so you can’t afford to mess around.

The biggest mistake traders make is thinking they can take their time when really, time is their enemy.

Set a deadline and stick to it.

You want to be funded by the end of October? Then treat this month like your final boss battle. No procrastination, no half-measures.

If you don’t, you’ll be reading an email similar to this one on January 1st in the exact same position you are right now.

No bueno.  

2/ Master One Strategy and Stick to It 🧠

This is not the time to experiment.

Pick one strategy, one setup, and absolutely nail it.

Remember my story about passing four $100,000 FTMO challenges? I didn't pass by trying 10 different setups. I passed because I mastered one setup and executed it over and over.

Consistency is key. 🔑 

If you’re flipping between strategies like you're swiping through Tinder profiles, you’re going to lose focus.

Find what works and milk it for all it’s worth.

3/ Forget “Getting Funded” — Focus on Not Losing 💡

Here’s a mindset shift that could save you: Stop obsessing over getting funded.

Instead, focus on not losing the money you spent on your challenge.

When I took my challenges, my goal wasn’t to pass—it was to protect the $500 I had spent. 🛡️ 

When you protect your downside, the upside takes care of itself.

Risk small (like 1%) and be defensive.

Treat your challenge account like it's your life savings, and you’ll be much more disciplined.

4/ Skip the Noise — Block Out Distractions 🛑

The market is noisy. 🔊 

Between social media, breaking news, and random traders throwing out “hot tips,” it’s easy to get distracted.

But trust me, the best traders are the ones who keep their heads down and stick to their plan.

Action Plan 👇️

  1. Unfollow those “trading gurus” on Instagram.

  2. Stop checking your phone every five minutes.

  3. Lock in on your trades.

Remember, trading is 90% mindset and 10% execution.

If you can stay focused, you’re already ahead of the competition.

5/ Use Q4 Volatility to Your Advantage 🎢

There’s a ton of stuff cooking up in Q4 that could dramatically move the markets.

  • The famous “October Surprise” that we’ve seen historically. 😯 

  • The December Gold Bull Run. 📈 

  • Year-End Flows. 🌊 

  • Growing Geopolitical Tensions.  

Remember, volatility isn’t something to fear—use it to your advantage.

Bigger swings mean bigger opportunities.

Just make sure you’re disciplined with your risk management (we’re looking at you, revenge traders).

Stick to higher timeframes, let the market come to you, and ride the waves strategically.

Wrapping It Up 🥂

If you leave this email with one thing, let it be this: 2024 will be over before you know it. If you’re not yet funded but want to be, something needs to change.

Volatility is your friend, and there’s going to be a lot of that over the next 3 months.

Stay disciplined. Stick to the plan. And most importantly—make this month count.

See you at the top, Munchers.
