How I lost $100K Day Trading Forex With The 5ers - Losing Trader Motivation

[@debtradess]

The fact that you are doing all this (trading and documenting it publicly) through pregnancy and post-partum is just admirable! thank you for sharing your journey ❤

[@deepsleepmusic8484]

I admire your courage. Don't give up!

Do not worry Emily! Take another challenge and smash it :) You have beautiful radio voice.

[@JabariHolloway]

KEEP GOING 💪😎. You're an inspiration to us all @MindfullyTrading 🙏

[@anidamsa4396]

I found that fascinating. Thought you are really brave for sharing . I make some big wins and some big losses so working on my discipline and of course psychology to keep my emotions in check. Picked up a few pointers from your video. So thank you and very best wishes …. To you and everyone trading, it’s not easy but i do love the process. 👋

[@arnolde4101]

You said everything right about the main mistakes, about the importance of psychology and discipline. I have been trading short term for 5 years on Fybit and I completely agree with you. But I wouldn’t go to a prop company. Extra pressure on the psyche and decision making.😬

I started trading 2 years ago after the painful experiencing of learning and losing for 3 years while holding a demanding full time job. I have a good strategy and have taken my small account up 5x from $4,000. It is getting to the point that the money is building pretty nice through the power of compounding. Even so, I joined the 5% because with a solid strategy I can make more money with their capital once I jump through the hoops (which as I have said "is tough while working a demanding 12 hour per day job") I figure that a person can triple the risk to reward for a faster growth. The maximum I could use on my forex account with leverage on my funds, trading the 5 min time frame on my strategy is a $200 risk. I use a 1:1.5 risk to reward strategy with 10% of my account ($200). My profit rate is anywhere from 40% to 60%, but mostly stick around the 50% mark, so I am slowly moving ahead on my personal account. With the $100,000 challenge with my win rate, if I stick to my rules under my continued win to loss ratio, I could use a $1000 risk to make $1500. That is a big increase of potential profit, and it still uses 10% of my allowable $100,000 account that can be used for leverage; I'm used to a 10%risk. My maximum loss number has never been over 5 consecutive losses, and that was once quite some time ago. It is possible by the capital that I can use from a prop account, to very quickly build my personal account and even collect a salary from this firm if things were to go extraordinarily well. Until my account is big enough, this will have me moving ahead much faster than I could at the level that I am at. If a person had a $100,000 or $200,000 account, there would probably be no need to use a prop firm, but if you are ready and are experienced/profitable at trading, yet have not got enough funds to get off the ground, this is a great resource. This will take me a while due to my job, but once it's done, I can focus on putting more time into it. I'm an old guy and this has been my hobby for the last few years. I have to shit or get off the pot.

Hi Emily, I don't think you should change your High Stakes challenge pursuit. You're such an inspiration. I've taken the 20K High Stakes challenge. it took me one month to achieve 8% for phase I and two weeks to achieve 5% for Phase II. I'm now working on receiving my first ever payout this month! To put this in pespective. I started taking prop firm challenges in February of 2023. I blew 8 challenges straight before passing phase I and phase II of a 5K High Stakes challenge in October 2023. I blew that account before receiving a single payout. I then took another 5K High Stakes challenge and blew that account too! After I started journaling my trades and limiting myself to one trade a day at 1% I took the 20K High Stakes challenge from which I'm now expecting to receive a payout this month.

[@guenonentertainment681]

Gurl, we've all been there. I've also lost $100,000 on the widow-maker NAT GAS last year. It takes a while to recover but leggo!

[@yellisresearch]

sorry for your loss, and thanks for motivation

[@lemmon0squash]

I did it last week (went against my system) . It is a lot more difficult to retain the concentration when there is so many other tasks that need to be given concentration on too . I find reducing my risk and in turn reducing my potential profit helps me to think more clearly when life gets in the way .

[@bballah9969]

After four years of trading and having winning and losing trades like any other trader, I got tired of the emotional aspect of the up's and downs and the way it was making me feel and how it was affecting my personal life and mental and financial well being. I took a course from a true professional that worked in Wall Street and I also put in the time as well. The harsh reality is if the ones that are making money from trading are the brokers charging commission and selling order flow, as well as the market makers and course sellers of the world selling the laptop lifestyle that's a total dream and fallacy. Getting rich long term through buy and hold dividend stocks and s&p 500 index fund is the for sure way to gain financial wealth. Wish you the best of luck Emily with trading hope it works out for you in the long run.

I have two kids. 2,5yo and 11month old. I had to stop trading during this time. I couldn’t even study. I worried about the time forget everything. So from after few weeks and months, from time to time I opened the chart and traded demo. Or watched trading content. But I had almost 1 year with no trading at all. No social media etc. and even now. It’s almost impossible to make my full analysis. I have to change my strategy into more swing. I had to change few things. Starting study and demo again. Get my confidence back. I skip backtesting. No time. I do fortesting. I can just sit on my laptop around 20.00 pm ( if I am lucky). Pretty tired. But I get through this. For my kids. I skip trading days. If I slept horrible. Or I feel sick. I am happy a female trader talks about this. Sound of your voice and video are nit synch.

[@vitsin87]

You never had 110k to lose in the first place

not easy to trade and raise a child simultaneously, you choose to be a better mom than a better trader and that's a very good , btw , I like your smile and energy ,

Great information. It will help me to maintain focus on a plan.

[@martinstone2362]

How many times have i taken trades based on the 4hr and below and watch them go the wrong way. Then look at the daily and even weekly and realise they were more accurate.if the daily and weekly align you have more chance of trading in that direction.

[@mydaytradingdiaries]

thanks for sharing

[@starriesmentality]

Ive had issues with 5%ers. When using the stop loss the price goes right on through like its not even there. This has happened 3 times now. Cost me an account, Im not sure Ill go back to them now coz its never happened with any other broker.

[@indysingh9626]

I had the same issue with a trade during a news event. The price just ignored the stop loss. I too was with 5%ers.

[@starriesmentality]

@@indysingh9626 if it was during the news it would be a good explanation. It wasn't and I have sent over screen shots to the company though I doubt anything will happen. Its worth watching this company as it hasn't come across legit

[@vitsin87]

It's called slippage, happens when a big momentum of orders are filled, normally news day's, make sure you know when news day's are and trade only after the news

[@mrjaywilliamsforex]

I have a 20k scaled up from 10 k after reaching the 10% target (and I was charged 5% to scale) . I would like to join another prop firm but one that does not charge to scale up, is this so with the 5%ers🤔

[@robbywijaya88]

how come you lost your account just because of two trades? How much % do you risk per trade?

[@Azforexchannel]

the lady always used 1:1 ratio which is very dangerous for newbies trader. back to 1:2 RRR or 1:3, your risk management is too high size down please.

So you DIDN'T lose 100,000 Dollars at all then? Did you really need to click bait your audience? In other news I lost 2.7% of a six figure account on Monday. Recovered 63% of that loss as of today. Now that's losing!

Thanks for sharing like you do as you give so many of us inspiration. I am retired with all the time in the world to research and trade & a financial background yet trading is still hard to do. Speaking of that, using your link and discount (thanks for that) I entered the $60K High Stakes Challenge way back in September and still have not achieved the 8% gain, but am still alive in the original program. I wonder what's the record for taking the longest to complete, ha.

It is real and insanely hard but like you said just get back on it and be persistant and you will get there. Tomorrow is a new start! 😂

Hey Emily i want to take your opinion, i feel really down i spent 3 years of hard work and dedication sacrificed everything from time good job time to be able to be profitable in forex and I finally started to see a little bit of results. I’m fearing US government to start going after prop firms i m not a U.S citizen but I’m afraid all that time and effort i spent will be wasted id something happens with prop firms. Would love your opinion on that Also regarding your video, i would encourage you to continue trading i realized that you improve little bit by time but you don’t realize it. So keep going as long as you have time to trade. I was wondering do you work full time in the morning or you don’t work or you work afternoon. The challenge I’m facing I can’t find a Job in the afternoon so i can trade in the morning

Dont use prop firms based in the US if your worried about them being taken down, there are plenty based in other countries.

6% max drawdown is ridiculous, how many losing trades can occur during drawdown? Sorry 5%'s, this is scammy.

[@rsv7248]

@mindfullytrading18-telegra Aimed at the firm not you, I watch ur vids all the time and appreciate what you do, I see how my comment came across however. Reality is 6% max DD is just not realistic especially for newer traders, 6 straight losers at 1% each and game over, doesn't really inspire confidence, works for you great, I prefer to send my money elsewhere - just an opinion - please keep up the good work.

This video is a complete waste of time. You went on and on about how you should not have traded with all the distractions you had. You talked about 2 positions you opened, it seems to me that anyone trading, even without distractions, would have suffered the same losses as you as the market could have moved in either direction at those points. I did not learn anything about your strategy.
