Please introduce yourself: Who are you, what is your age, where are you from, and what do you do for a living?
I’m 29 years old and from Canada. Currently, I’m a full-time mother and work full-time as a representative in my field.

How did you get introduced or start trading?
I was first introduced to trading by my husband, but it wasn’t until the last few years that I really started to take it seriously.

Do you have any hobbies, and what do you enjoy outside of trading? Do you find that these hobbies benefit your trading? Please elaborate.
Outside of working and trading, I love spending time with my family, reading, and listening to podcasts. These activities help me unwind and keep my mind sharp, which is essential for trading.

What is your trading routine?
My trading routine begins in the evening during the Asian/London session. I do my analysis before the market opens, marking out key areas of interest. If the market is within the previous day’s range, I’ll decide whether it’s a good day to trade or not.

What are your goals with funded trading?
My goal is to eventually secure a larger account and set aside some money to fund a personal trading account.

Do you have a trading plan in place, and do you strictly follow it? Please elaborate.
Yes, I have a trading plan that focuses on maintaining at least a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. I prioritize risk management by setting a tight stop loss and adjusting it as needed. If I have a winning trade, I stop trading for the day. I aim for one trade per day and don’t trade every day. If I take a loss, I’m done for the day as well.

How would you describe your trading style?
I’ve studied Michael/ICT’s concepts thoroughly, so my trading style is heavily influenced by his teachings.

What was the most challenging obstacle in your trading journey?
The biggest challenge was learning how to recover when my account was down. I used to think that once you’re funded, you’re set, but experiencing a losing streak and building the account back up was a tough lesson.

What did you find easier, the FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge or the Verification phase? Share your thoughts.
The Verification phase was easier for me. After passing Stage 1, it was just a matter of replicating the same strategy with a smaller profit target, which made it more manageable.

How would you rate your experience with FUNDING FRONTIER?
Overall, I’d say it’s been great. Whenever I’ve had an issue, I’ve been able to reach out and get it resolved quickly. I also appreciate the profit targets and pricing.

What advice would you give to other traders attempting the FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge?
Start with a small account. If you can pass a small account with ease, you should be able to replicate that success on a larger account. Smaller accounts are more affordable and help build the confidence needed to pass a bigger challenge. Plus, you can use the payouts to fund a larger account.

Do you plan to take another FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge to manage even bigger capital?
Yes, I’m planning to scale up to a couple of $100k accounts and take it from there. I’m taking it one step at a time.

Describe your best trade.
I’ve been fortunate to have several great trades. One that stands out is catching a 1:5 risk-to-reward trade, which helped me pass a challenge in just a few trades. It was incredibly rewarding to see my analysis play out so perfectly.

What is the number one piece of advice you would give to a new trader?
Don’t focus on the money. Focus on education and becoming an expert in one or two pairs. If you have a question, note it down and do your research. It’s not about mastering multiple strategies; it’s about sticking to one or two that you’ve thoroughly backtested and forward-tested. Don’t switch strategies—learn to refine and add to your existing one. Also, read the charts every day, even if you’re not actively trading. Understanding the story each candle tells is key. If you’re unsure about a trade, it’s better to close it early rather than waiting for it to hit your stop loss.

How did you first hear about FUNDING FRONTIER?
I heard about Funding Frontier through Raja Banks.

Can you describe your risk management plan?
When I first get an account, I focus on securing small wins, aiming for at least a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. Once I’ve gained about 2% on the account, I might risk a bit more—up to 1% or 1.5% per trade. If I take a loss, I revert to my more conservative strategy, not risking more than 0.5% per trade. As I get closer to my target, I reduce my risk again to 0.5%.
