Consistency Wins: Inside Jatin’s 10K Journey

Please introduce yourself. Who are you, your age, where you are from, and what do you do for a living?

Hi, I’m Jatin Salvi. I’m 39 years old and from a small city called Ratnagiri, located in Maharashtra, India. I hold qualifications as a Mechanical Engineer, an MBA, and also an Advocate (Lawyer). I previously worked in a multinational corporation at a senior managerial level but eventually left that job and transitioned into agriculture. Currently, I make a living through farming.

How did you get introduced to trading?

Thanks to my background in business and finance from my MBA, I already had a solid foundation. I officially started trading in early 2023 when I found more time to explore the markets alongside my work.

Do you have any hobbies? What do you enjoy outside of trading, and do they benefit your trading?

Yes, I enjoy photography and playing chess. These hobbies really help me take my mind off the markets, reduce stress, and stay mentally sharp, something that definitely benefits my trading performance.

What is your trading routine?

Every night before going to bed, I do my chart analysis and mark the key levels for the next day. Then during the day, I wait for price to reach those levels before looking for trade entries.

What are your goals with funded trading?

My goal is to gradually scale up my funded capital using the payouts I receive, by reinvesting in additional challenges. Ultimately, I’d like to grow both my funded and personal capital to trade with more freedom and flexibility.

Do you have a trading plan in place, and do you strictly follow it?

Yes, I do have a trading plan and try to follow it as closely as possible. While I sometimes slip up, I always work on staying mentally and emotionally strong so I can get back on track and stick to the plan.

How would you describe your trading style?

I’m primarily an intraday trader and a scalper. I start by analyzing higher timeframes, weekly, daily, 4H, and 1H to develop my bias. I then refine my entries using the 5-minute or 1-minute chart, depending on the market’s volatility.

What was the most challenging obstacle in your trading journey?

The biggest challenge has been learning to control my mind. Keeping calm and composed under pressure is something I constantly work on, it’s crucial in trading.

What did you find easier: the FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge or the Verification Phase?

I found the Funding Frontier Challenge phase easier. It’s well-designed and trader-friendly, making it an effective evaluation process. The verification phase was smooth as well.

How would you rate your experience with FUNDING FRONTIER?

I’d give it an 8 out of 10. The overall experience has been solid.

What advice would you give to other traders attempting the FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge?

Stick to your basics. Stay calm and follow the rules, they’re not overly complicated. Consistency and discipline go a long way.

Do you plan to take another FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge to manage even bigger capital?

Absolutely. I’m planning to take a couple more 10K challenges and then move on to a 100K challenge to further scale up my trading with Funding Frontier.

Describe your best trade.

My best trade was on XAUUSD, where I captured 968 pips and made a profit of $1,403.60. The trade lasted 4 hours and 31 minutes and helped me significantly boost my account.

What is the number one piece of advice you would give to a new trader?

Start small and focus on building the right mindset. Don’t chase strategies thinking they’ll make you instantly profitable. The real edge lies in your psychology, money management, and risk control.

How did you first hear about FUNDING FRONTIER?

I found out about Funding Frontier through YouTube, specifically from videos by Saket Gupta and Abhinabh Parida.

Can you describe your risk management plan?

My risk management approach is straightforward. During the challenge phase, I usually start by risking 1% per trade. If I’m in profit, I may slightly increase my position to take advantage of the momentum. However, if I enter a drawdown, I immediately reduce my risk based on the account’s current equity, as outlined in my personal risk chart.

Once I’m in the funded phase, I become more conservative, I avoid increasing risk and instead focus on securing consistent profits of 1–2% to qualify for payouts.
