Please introduce yourself: Who you are, your age, where you are from, and what you do for a living?
Hi, my name is Darshit Patel. I am a 21-year-old, from India and I am a full-time trader.
What is your trading routine?
I trade only in the London session. I start my day by doing meditation and reading my journal notes from the previous day. This puts me in a good space prior to looking into the markets.
What are your goals with funded trading?
I want to be a $400,000-funded trader with Funding Frontier!
Do you have a trading plan in place, and do you strictly follow it? Please
elaborate
Yes, I do have a trading plan, and I adhere to ICT module one. I follow my trading plan diligently. However, during losing streaks, I find it beneficial to take short breaks and review my past journal. This allows me to reflect on my trades, identify any patterns or mistakes, and make necessary adjustments to improve my performance.
What was the most challenging obstacle in your trading journey?
In my trading journey, one of the most challenging obstacles I faced was spending nearly a year relying on trading signals. Unfortunately, this approach held me back from making significant progress in my trading endeavours.
What did you find easier, the FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge or the Verification phase? Share your thoughts

What advice would you give to other traders attempting the FUNDING FRONTIER
Challenge?
I would advise fellow traders attempting the Funding Frontier Challenge to approach it with patience, take it slow and steady, and don’t try to pass it overnight.
Do you plan to take another FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge to manage even bigger capital?
Yes definitely, I am planning on attempting the $200,000 account next! This aligns with my goals for capital growth and further development as a trader.
Describe your best trade ?
My best trade was a sell on EURUSD, which occurred during phase 2 of the challenge. It not only helped me clear the phase but also gave me a significant confidence boost in my trading strategy.
What is the number one piece of advice you would give to a new trader?
My top advice for new traders is to always keep tight risk management and trade management plans front and center. Consistently reviewing your trading journal each day can help reinforce good habits and keep you accountable to your strategies.
How did you first hear about FUNDING FRONTIER?
I first heard about Funding Frontier through Raja Banks.
Can you describe your risk management plan?
I keep it simple, I never risk more than 1%, and I take a maximum of 1 trade per day. It’s all about trading smart and staying disciplined.
