In an insightful interview with The Funded Trader (TFT), Denver-based James, a six-figure funded trader, shared the story of his trading evolution, from his initial Bitcoin purchase to mastering the US30, and the significant milestones he’s achieved with TFT.
From Cryptocurrency to US30 Mastery
James’s trading journey began with an investment in Bitcoin, which eventually led him to explore other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum through Investa Made Easy. However, it was his discovery of the US30 that truly ignited his passion for trading. “I fell in love with it, and here I am today. That’s all I trade, is US30,” James revealed.
Entrepreneurship and Trading: A Delicate Balance
Running a flooring business in Denver, James navigates the complexities of balancing his entrepreneurial ventures with his trading activities. Despite the challenges, he is determined to transition to full-time trading within the next six months, armed with a $200,000 live account and an additional $100,000 in phase two challenges with TFT.
Overcoming Impatience and Embracing Discipline
James identified impatience as a significant hurdle in his trading journey, emphasizing the importance of waiting for the right entry signals and avoiding greed and revenge trading. By adhering to a disciplined risk management strategy, James aims to keep his losses within a 1% threshold, setting daily goals between 1% to 3%.
Reflecting on his experiences, James shared insights into his best and worst trading days, highlighting an $8,000 win on his best day and the valuable lessons learned from blowing two accounts in a single day due to revenge trading.
