Achieving Funded Accounts: My Results and Statistics

August 21, 2024 / Achieving Funded Accounts: My Results and Statistics

We’ve now moved further into this journey, and I’m happy to share the latest results. As promised, I’ve included my statistics from achieving my funded account. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see how the strategies I’ve developed over time have not only helped me pass multiple funded challenges but also maintain steady performance. With funded accounts from both Topstep and Apex, I’ve been able to generate consistent results. Now that I’ve received payouts, I can confidently say that the hard work is paying off.

How I Passed My Funded Challenges / funded trading account

I relied on the same order flow strategies that I’ve been teaching, particularly the techniques from the Whale Order strategy and the methods I detailed in the Indices Masterclass. These core strategies were my foundation throughout the entire process.

Many updates were also shared during the Practicum, although no one knew what I was really working on behind the scenes. In fact, I even mentioned a few times in the Practicum that traders should focus on their private accounts and that I wasn’t interested in prop firms. Let me explain that: I still believe that if you have the funds, trading privately is the best way to go. But this social experiment has definitely opened my eyes—prop firms can be an excellent stepping stone if you don’t yet have enough capital to trade on your own. This experience has made me see that clearly.

Statistics Breakdown:

• Topstep Account: $150,000
• Apex Account: $300,000
• Average Win Rate: 82%
• Risk-to-Reward Ratio: 1:2 (on average)
• Max Drawdown: I stayed well below the drawdown limits, keeping it under 3% of the total account size at all times.

Key Takeaways from the Challenges

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that passing the challenge isn’t about taking big risks or trying to hit home runs with every trade. Instead, it’s about consistency. I made sure to lock in smaller, steady gains and focused on protecting the account at all costs. Every time I approached a trade, I asked myself, “Is this within my risk limits?” If the answer was no, I didn’t take the trade. This discipline helped me stay within the rules and pass multiple challenges without jeopardizing my accounts.

After the Challenge: Maintaining Consistency / funded trading account

Passing the challenge is only the first step. Once I got funded, I shifted my focus to maintaining the account and generating steady profits. The key here was to stick to the same principles I used during the evaluation: disciplined risk management, following my strategy, and avoiding overtrading.

Since getting funded, I’ve averaged monthly profits of 5-7% on my accounts. The prop firm’s rules forced me to stay within specific risk parameters, which has been a huge help in keeping my performance stable.

Looking Ahead

The journey to becoming a successful funded trader doesn’t end with passing the evaluation—it starts there. Now that I’ve reached this stage, my goal is to continue scaling my accounts while keeping the same disciplined approach. I’ll be sharing more insights, including detailed stats and charts, to show how I maintain this consistency over time.
