Funded Trader Kiran Loriya Gets Paid

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

My name is Kiran Loriya. I am 21 years old and from Morbi, Gujarat, India. I run a tile export business and actively trade in the forex market, primarily focusing on major currency pairs during the evening session.

How did you get introduced to trading?

I was first introduced to trading through YouTube videos during the COVID-19 lockdown. The concept of earning by reading charts and patterns fascinated me. I gradually started learning and practiced on demo accounts before transitioning to live trading.

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

Yes, I enjoy listening to music, watching motivational videos, and playing cricket. These hobbies help me stay mentally relaxed and emotionally balanced, which indirectly enhances my trading mindset by keeping me focused and calm under pressure.

What is your trading routine?

I trade mostly from 8 PM to 11 PM IST, concentrating on major forex pairs. I use 5-minute and 15-minute timeframes and begin each session with 15–20 minutes of market analysis. I look for quality setups over quantity and strictly follow my risk management strategy.

What are your goals with funded trading?

My primary goal is to scale up and manage larger capital consistently. I want to achieve financial freedom through funded accounts and use that foundation to build long-term wealth and a better lifestyle.

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

Yes, I follow a disciplined and well-structured trading plan. I risk 1% per trade. Once the trade reaches a 1.5% profit, I move my stop-loss to breakeven. My typical target is 3% per trade. I occasionally book partial profits if market conditions require it, but discipline is key, and I follow the plan strictly.

How would you describe your trading style?

I’m an intraday trader who primarily uses price action strategies and ICT (Inner Circle Trader) concepts. My focus is on precision entries with tight risk management and short-term gains.

What was the most challenging obstacle in your trading journey?

The biggest challenge was controlling my emotions and avoiding revenge trading. Learning to stay patient and accept small losses without overreacting was a major step forward in my development as a trader.

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

I found the Verification Phase easier. By that point, I had developed trust in my trading system and built the necessary discipline during the Challenge. The Verification felt more like a confirmation of consistency rather than a pressure test.

How would you rate your experience with FUNDING FRONTIER?

Excellent. The rules are fair, the structure is transparent, and the support team is very responsive. Funding Frontier provides a great platform for serious traders to prove themselves and grow.

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

Stay calm and don’t rush. Trust your system and focus on consistency and risk management instead of trying to pass quickly. Discipline will always be more important than any single trade.

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

Yes, absolutely. Scaling up through multiple funded accounts is a part of my long-term strategy. More capital provides greater flexibility and improved returns when used with disciplined risk control.

Describe your best trade.

My best trade was during a New York session on EUR/USD. I anticipated a liquidity grab and entered just after a stop-hunt. Within 15 minutes, I secured a clean 3R move. It was a textbook ICT setup and a great confidence booster.

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

Learn risk management before trying to make money. Focus on protecting your capital and building consistency. Profits will follow once the foundation is solid.

How did you first hear about FUNDING FRONTIER?

I discovered Funding Frontier through Instagram via @trader_saket_fx.

Can you describe your risk management plan?

Yes. I risk 1% per trade. If the trade reaches 1.5% in profit, I move my stop-loss to breakeven. My typical target is 3%, and I rarely book partial profits unless I see signs of a reversal or increased uncertainty. This helps me maintain a strong risk-to-reward ratio and keeps emotions in check.
