Your journey mapped out
First thing’s rst, this journey and it’s time periods are not xed. They are highly dependent on any
previous bad habits you have, how much work you put in now, and how disciplined to the process
you are. However, when you are disciplined, put in the work every day and follow the rules, you
can change your life in a shorter time than you’d think. We have many success stories in this
group that follow this time line.
Now, let’s get into it…
I.
Study the content
The course is designed to be no- u and to the point. I’ve only included information you
actually need to know to trade this strategy accurately and get funded, there’s no pointless
content here to make the course longer. As a result, it should not take you long to go through
all the content multiple times. Once is not enough if you want to absorb everything, but even
with multiple studies, you can comfortably learn the strategy in a short period of time. If you
get a month or 2 in and you’re still ‘just getting through the content’, work harder!
II. Choose your edge
Pay close attention to the videos on building your unique edge and choose how you want to
trade. Are you someone who wants to take fewer extremely high probability trades? Or
someone who wants to take more trades with more potential return? What trader do you want
to be? Choose and move forward.
III. Backtest and re ne your edge
Now is the time of most work you’ll do. You need to backtest at least 3 months of data for
your chosen edge and pairs. You may nd some pairs don’t work as well for you, so you’ll
need to backtest some others to swap in. The 3 months of data is enough time for you to start
to see trends in your results, and enough for you to take 100+ trades in most cases. This
means your understanding of the strategy will be sky-rocketing, and you’ll have data proving
you either know the strategy well, or that you need to go back to step 1 and focus there again.
This is perhaps the most important step of your journey, so do not cheat the process here.
Having data to back your trading is vital in not only proving you understand it, but also in
building self-con dence for getting funded. Your data will become your foundation, so build it
strongly.
All the while you are backtesting, you should also be trading the live markets (either demo or
very low risk) to build your recognition of the strategy in live market conditions.
The backtesting journey is forever ongoing. I still do it to this day because it is so useful in
keeping sharp and building up a bigger and bigger bank of statistics.
IV. Funding
By this point you should have a stack of data giving you undeniable proof that your edge and
your understanding of it are pro table, and can pass a funding challenge. This is key in giving
you the con dence that your technicals are competent and the strategy works. The next step:
funding.

Firstly, start smaller. You don’t need to go straight for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There’s no need to rush and the additional pressures of a bigger challenge can lead to less
discipline on your rst attempt. When you pass on smaller accounts you can use the pro ts to
buy much bigger challenges anyway. Check the funding section for more information on how
to get funded and scale up your accounts.
