Meet Mr Okeke Chinedu, a Funded Trader with Funding Frontier. Discover how he and other traders secured funding and gain insights and tips for a successful trading journey.

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

I’m Mr Okeke Chinedu, aged 24, from Nigeria and I’m currently an Engineering student who trades for a living.

How did you get introduced or start trading?

My first encounter with trading was via online ads but my interest was piqued when a profitable trader who was a close friend of mine as of 2020 taught me the basics of trading.

Do you have any hobbies and what do you enjoy outside of trading? Do you find that these hobbies etc benefit your trading? Please elaborate 

For fun, I love watching movies, taking long walks, and meeting new people. These hobbies are helpful when I need to step away from the charts, giving me a fresh perspective on the market and preventing rash decisions.

What is your trading routine?

My trading day begins just before the London session opens when I analyse the markets. However, I usually execute my trades during the London and New York sessions.

What are your goals with funded trading? 

My funded trading goals involve not only preserving my current account but also gradually scaling up to higher account sizes. By doing so, I aim to increase my trading capital, which will allow for larger positions and potentially increased profits.

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

I have a trading plan that I strive to follow as diligently as possible. However, there are rare scenarios where I deviate from it, usually due to unexpected market conditions.

How would you describe your trading style?

I rely on two main strategies for my trading decisions: the ICT Judas swing and analysing chart patterns. These methods have been really effective in helping me spot good opportunities.

What was the most challenging obstacle in your trading journey?

The most challenging obstacle in my trading journey was funding. I simply didn’t have enough money to trade in a way that aligned with my trading style and personality.

What did you find easier, the FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge or the Verification phase? Share your thoughts

I found the verification phase easier because I approached it with the mindset that I could replicate the success I had during the challenge phase.

How would you rate your experience with FUNDING FRONTIER?

I would rate my experience with FUNDING FRONTIER as excellent. The process has been smooth overall, and what stood out the most for me was the immediate assistance I received from moderators on Discord whenever I faced challenges. Additionally, the payout was prompt, among the quickest in the industry.

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

My advice to other traders attempting the FUNDING FRONTIER Challenge would be to thoroughly familiarise themselves with FUNDING FRONTIER’s rules and adhere to them strictly. This adherence will contribute to their longevity in the market. Additionally, I would encourage them to have confidence in their decision-making abilities, which will naturally lead to profitable outcomes.

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

Certainly, that is part of my plan because I understand that managing larger capital brings greater comfort and opportunities in trading.

Describe your best trade

Any trade that experiences little to no drawdown as well as wastes no time in getting to my Take-Profit is a Top trade to me and I have had quite a few.

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

The number one piece of advice I would give to a new trader is to prioritise patience, resist FOMO, and wait for your trading setup to fully develop before executing your trade.

How did you first hear about FUNDING FRONTIER?

A friend of mine urged me to participate in their chess competition and that’s how I won a free challenge account. Their weekly game nights on Discord are a great way to win free challenges if you are unable to purchase an account.

Can you describe your risk management plan?

My risk management plan involves initially risking 1% per trade idea. However, if I encounter a 5% drawdown, I adjust my risk per trade to 0.5% of my account size to preserve capital.
