Meet Albert Felamon, a Funded Trader with Funding Frontier. Discover how Albert and other traders secured funding and gain insights and tips for a successful trading journey.
Please introduce yourself: Who are you, your age, where you are from, and what you do for a living?
Hello, I’m Albert, 40 years old, and I’m from Indonesia. I run a few businesses, one of which is a creative and digital marketing agency based in Jakarta called North Creative Agency. You can visit my website here: www.northkreatif.com.
How did you get introduced or start trading?
I started trading around 2 years ago. At first, it was just a hobby, but over time I learned a lot through online platforms and began to improve my skills.
Do you have any hobbies, and what do you enjoy outside of trading? Do you find that these hobbies benefit your trading? Please elaborate.
My hobbies aren’t directly related to trading. My background is in design, so most of my hobbies are connected to the art and design industry.
What is your trading routine?
I usually monitor certain pairs daily. I check setups mainly on TradingView, and if I spot a good opportunity, I’ll take the trade.
What are your goals with funded trading?
For me, trading with a prop firm and becoming a funded trader is more of a side hustle — a way to earn extra income.
Do you have a trading plan in place, and do you strictly follow it? Please elaborate.
As I mentioned, I check TradingView every day and look for solid setups. I use a supply and demand indicator, and if a pair is within an order block and the structure looks good, I take the trade. If not, I follow the trend, whether it’s bullish or bearish.
How would you describe your trading style?
I’m more of a day trader. I usually focus on one pair, place my trade, and whether I profit or lose that day, I stop and wait to trade again the next day.
What was the most challenging obstacle in your trading journey?
I haven’t really faced any major obstacles since trading is more of a hobby for me, and profits from funded trading are just an additional source of income.
What did you find easier, the FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge or the Verification phase? Share your thoughts.
Both felt about the same to me since the rules are consistent from the Evaluation phase through to funding.
How would you rate your experience with FUNDING FRONTIER?
I’ve had a pleasant experience with Funding Frontier. I like that the profit target for Phase 1 is only 7.5%. If the payout process could be a bit faster, that would make it even better.
What advice would you give to other traders attempting the FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge?
Don’t hesitate to trade with Funding Frontier — this prop firm is legit.
Do you plan to take another FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge to manage even bigger capital?
Maybe later. If I breach my current account, I’ll definitely consider purchasing another challenge.
Describe your best trade.
Once, I made around 5% profit on a single trade — that one trade helped me pass my challenge.
What is the number one piece of advice you would give to a new trader?
Make trading one of your hobbies or a side hustle. I don’t recommend relying on trading as your main income because there’s no such thing as a 100% win rate.
How did you first hear about FUNDING FRONTIER?
From social media.
Can you describe your risk management plan?
I avoid overtrading. I usually take a maximum of 2 to 3 trades per day, but most of the time, I only take 1 trade per day. Whether it’s a win or loss, I stop and start again the next day.
