๐ I began my trading journey in January 2026, driven by a commitment to developing a sustainable, data-driven approach to the markets.
๐ Initial experiments with high leverage (1000x and 500x) produced early gains but exposed a critical deficiency: the absence of a robust statistical edge. These experiences provided valuable lessons in risk management and psychological discipline(I will make a post on my strategy in the future).
๐ Through systematic refinement, I reduced leverage significantly, restricted entries to high-probability A setups, and optimized entry timing. This iterative process yielded a strategy with an approximately 80% win rate and a 1:1.68 risk-reward ratio.
๐ฐ On April 17th, I validated the edge in live conditions on
@MEXC, starting with $100. As of today, that account has grown to $500.
๐ Building on this foundation, I pursued proprietary firm evaluations:

June 1st: Passed the
@Topstep Trading Combineยฎ
โ
Shortly thereafter: Passed
@breakoutprop , securing two funded accounts totaling $100,000 in capital.
๐ I have since generated $1,200 in profits across these accounts and am preparing to request my first payout on
@breakoutprop and working towards my first on
@Topstep.
๐ง This progression reflects the importance of methodological rigor, continuous iteration, and emotional resilience in trading.
For those engaged in similar development processes, I encourage persistence through the refinement phase. Sustainable edges are the result of disciplined execution rather than isolated wins.
๐ฅ The goal was never a lucky trade. The goal was building a repeatable process.
