- LinkedInFailed a challenge — a lesson in humility
I passed two funded accounts recently, then failed one I was sure I’d pass — because I got cocky around the CPI numbers. My pairs kept dropping, I got stopped out twice at 2.2% risk per setup, then price turned exactly as I’d anticipated. The market didn’t care how close I was, or how many accounts I’d passed before. Overconfidence was the mistake. Failure is part of the business — up to 78.9% of CFD traders lose money. I’m starting another funded challenge at the end of the month, quietly compounding.
- LinkedInAccount +7.5% on GBPUSD
I’m up +7.5%. Yesterday I announced my partnership with JoinProp — and it came with a $20K funded account. I took my GBPUSD setup and added positions as the trade moved in my favour. A few got stopped out in profit, closing yesterday at +1.3%; today we’re up +7.5%. This is exactly what I’ve worked towards for years — not predicting the market or chasing trades, just executing the same process over and over. Some days it pays little, some days we learn, some days it pays a lot.
- LinkedInAnnouncement
If you’ve noticed, a few respected traders on LinkedIn have been quietly sharing content with a small footer on their posts. At first it felt strange – then I kept seeing it, again and again, and more traders joined in. I remember thinking, ‘whoever came up with this is a marketing genius.’ Good work, Omer Rapaport. The more I looked into what the team was building, the more it caught my interest – not another flashy prop firm promotion, but a different approach. A few conversations later I was invited to join. Today I’m happy to announce I’ve officially joined the Real Prop Challenge in partnership with JoinProp. As someone who’s spent years in the prop firm space, I’m always curious about projects that create genuine opportunities for traders. Looking forward to seeing where this journey leads. Stay tuned.
