What is your mental/psychological strength, and how did you develop it?

I backtested my trading strategy for around 1 year before I started live trading. So I would have navigated a few decades worth of price action. I was profitable as soon as I started live trading in September 2021, I made 12% during my first 3 months. In 2022, I made 38.85% and in 2023, I made 84.75%.

Griff $100K Bootcamp Funded Account

Take your time, prop funding is just a stepping stone along a much longer path. Honestly, passing the first time may be the worst thing that could happen to you. It’ll be best for most traders to fail their first challenge, experience that feeling, take the lessons, and succeed in the future. It’s best to make mistakes early in your journey.

I’ve always had a calm temperament, which has certainly worked in my favour for trading. Taking long walks, meditating/focusing your breathing are simple practices to become more conscious of your thoughts. I believe a lot of trading is about self-reflection and being honest with yourself. In our current era, everybody has an ego, nobody has any self awareness.

Moving away from a mechanical trade plan was also quite a pivotal moment in my trading but I wouldn’t recommend this for any ‘newer’ traders. I think it’s important to make the transition from mechanical to discretional as you gain more experience.

How long does it take to become a consistent trader, and what aspects did you change that helped you become consistent?

Griff $100K Bootcamp Funded Account - The5ers

For example, on my 5ers bootcamp account where I have a 4% max DD, I risk 0.25% per trade. For prop challenges, I am more aggressive, I risk enough for around 10 losses. So in the case of 5ers’ 4% max DD, I would risk 0.4% per trade.

Describe a key moment in your trading career

I risk 1% per trade on my personal account, I know that my system has a max DD of around 10% and that’s not considering any mistakes I may make live trading. So when it comes to prop firm accounts, I like to leave room for at least 20 losses to keep it comfortable.

I’ve been trading for around four years. I started learning how to trade in April 2020, but I didn’t actually start live trading until September 2021, so I spent a lot of time practicing and backtesting.

Briefly describe your Trading Plan and how it contributes to your success.

Griff J. is 24 years old and from the United Kingdom.

You may also want to consider following my trading journey on YouTube. I’ve been uploading videos here since 2021, you can see a lot of my progression!

I decided to scrap the mechanical trade plan completely so that I could trade more intuitively. This allows more flexibility in my decision-making but at the cost of more demanding psychology management. You should only consider going this route once you feel you’ve outgrew your trade plan and that your strategy is no longer easily quantified.

Please share with us a challenge you faced in your trading career and how you overcame it.

I’ve been through a few trading communities, while good for beginners, most only offer a one-sided education model. It’s very easy to outgrow such groups as you become more experienced.

I currently have quite a discretional trade plan, it started out mechanical but it became restrictive as I became more experienced. I realised something had to change when my gut feeling occasionally contradicted my trade plan. As a trader, I feel it’s important to follow your plan but you also need to listen to your intuition, something you will only acquire with time and experience.

His next mission is to reach 5% to scale his Bootcamp account to $150K.

Trading is all about overcoming challenges. It feels like there has been hundreds of times where I missed a big winning trade, got tagged out of an important trade by 1 pip or made some mistake. These moments can become understandably frustrating when stacked on top of one another, especially alongside pressures to succeed. Ultimately, trading success all comes down to how you manage these frustrations and keep moving forward despite them. I know that as my career progresses these challenges will become greater and greater.

How did you adjust risk management to your trading personality?

Considering this, my friends and I created a group with a community-driven philosophy; unlike other trading communities, we encourage you to be curious. We are always open to new ideas and develop our strategy as a co-operative. It’s a place for both new AND experienced traders which I’m really proud of.

Griff $100K Bootcamp Funded Account Statistics - The5ers

Passing my first funding challenge in early 2022 was a huge moment for me. I’d practiced my trading strategy for around 1 year when I started the challenge. It was an incredible feeling to succeed after practicing for such a long time and to experience the fruit of my labour. Little did I know I still had so much to learn at this point, I suppose I still have much to learn even now!

I have documented most of these trades on my YouTube channel!

“I believe a lot of trading is about self-reflection and being honest with yourself. In our current era, everybody has an ego, nobody has any self awareness.”

I use a much smaller risk per trade. That’s pretty much the only difference! I manage my personal account just as carefully as I manage my 5ers account.

What would you recommend to someone who is just starting with us?

I use Zentum Trading’s strategy. It’s primarily trending entries but considering the 2023 rangebound market conditions, we’ve started developing a liquidity sweep entry to capitalise on sideways price action. It’s working well so far, producing 6% in March.

How is trading for The5ers different from trading by yourself?

My name is Griff, I’m 24, born and grew up in North Wales. I’m a native Welsh speaker! I am currently living in London with my fiancé.
