Not just cut risk half in dd phase, but also burn the recent profits to do more profits when you are in profits phase. Pasquale said to have Patiance and trade h1 and above. That's a true master of trading.
Risking half of the initial risk when we are in Drawdown is the biggest tip and takeaway for example first trade 1 % risk if I loss the trade I need to reduce the 0.5 % to until reach initial balance 👌🏻 🏆Takeaway is Risk management and money management wins the trading game 🤩👍 waiting for part 2💎
I learned five important lessons from top prop traders: 1. Manage risk 2. Don't copy others 3. Focus on high probability setups 4. Be confident in your edge 5. Be patient and disciplined Profitability is more important than passing challenges, and passing challenges is no guarantee of success. Thanks to Kimmel for sharing these insights!
*I didn't become financially independent until I was in my late 40's, and I'm still in my 40's. In addition to having purchased my second home and earning money on a monthly basis through passive income, I've also achieved three out of five goals. I just hope this inspires someone to realize that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet, you can start today no matter your age. Change your future by investing! I made a rather big decision by investing in the financial market.*
Investing in many sources of income that are independent on government paychecks is the prudent thing that everyone should be thinking about right now, especially given the global economic crisis. Stocks, forex, and digital currencies are still good investments at this time.
It's really not easy investing or trading the financial market. I read a lot of books, tried to study, watch some tutorial videos, did a little demo before funding my account and I still lost a lot. The financial market could be very tricky
Great video! Key takeaways: 1) Adjust risk based on balance and win/loss (Kyle). 2) Don’t copy others, consider your own goals (Paladin). 3) Be aggressive with challenges, buy multiple accounts (Andrew). 4) Understand losses are part of the process, stay calm (Dan Chong). 5) Know the rules, have patience and discipline, avoid over-leveraging (Pasquali). Thanks for the insights; eagerly waiting for part 2.❤
My key takeaways: 1. You need to think for yourself according to your situation, copying others won't help 2. Confidence can only be gained through proof of concept 3. It takes years to be great anything so don't rush it, enjoy the journey!! Nice, insightful video♥️ Waiting for part 2!!
The number of trades you take before blowing your account is important. You want to be able to risk such that you are able to take as many trades as possible before blowing and also having confidence and descipline is key. The most important question people need to answer is "am I profitable " instead of "can I pass a challenge " some pass the challenges ,get funded and lose the accounts so passing is not as important. ❤
My favourite takeaway from this videos was kile"'s opinion -To risk a normal 1-2% per trade from the initial balance for the first trade -To lower the risk if you lose this first trade to to keep it the same if you win Really decent video! Thank you!
This guy is giving free nuggets! They all talked about 2 really important things: - Do you really know what rules do you must have for your personal trading and to pass those challenges? - Do you have enough proves to start a challenge or are you just running after the money?
My takeaway from this video 1.discipline 2. Consistentcy 3. A executable and profitable strategy 4.be patient 5. relentlessly exexute your trading plan
Take away: Trading isn’t a one size fits all game. I think everyone has a different psychology and they are more likely to find their edge in one strategy vs. another. One guy was talking about risking a lot and taking your chances over multiple, and another about conservative risk management. Both are successful but they just found what works for them.
1. RISK ADJUSTMENT in a series of trade for longivity in the game 2. NEVER COMPARING TO THOSE whom we're looking up to and not to copy them 3. PLAYING SMART multiple accounts with high risk "not for me though" 4.PROOF OF CONCEPT having a working edge, understanding your psychology and also yourself💯 5. Confidence understanding the proofs of concepts works despite the ups and down with proper risk understanding 5.understanding what it takes and what is required, and know and take it as a career slow but sure💯 No short cuts and a plan is a requirement and being displined to follow the trading plan❤
what paladin says is absolutely resonate with me and know your situation and if you loose it are you okay with it or not if your answer is not then go conservative and from others stay diciplined and backtest and have confidence in your system also look at the long picture
risking less when you go into drawdown. going into drawdown is emotional and i used to always double my risk to try to make it back instead of cutting it in half and treating these challenges like a business instead of gambling! awesome interviews
My primary lesson learned is the significance of the number of trades executed before depleting your account. It's crucial to manage risk in a way that allows for numerous trades before facing account depletion. Moreover, maintaining confidence and discipline is paramount. Instead of focusing on the ability to pass a challenge, the critical question to address is whether one is consistently profitable. Passing challenges may lead to funding, but sustaining and growing the account over time is the ultimate measure of success.
Amazing video and good tips from the peers Appreciate you having me on and best of luck to the people reading this as message if for you take your shi seriously 😈
I’m so grateful that we get this content in this day and age. Thank you Kimmel for being able to set this up for all traders that are out there without a social presence. This was timely since I failed three evaluation accounts this week trying to push my edge. They take away that I got here is to take it slow. Have a long-term vision. If I lose my first trade, cut the risk in half each loss.
Here are the best answer that you can take. I am currently trading for more than 5 years. I have never failed even a challenge in the prop firm. More than 10 challenges that I passed. I use 1:3 RR for all trades. No secret here, the first trade should be risking 1%. If you win, you risk the entire 3%. If you lose, you go to the initial balance, if you win you pass it. Everytime your account is on drawdown, risk 0.5% per trade, after your acc reach 2% drawdown, risk 0.25% and never change it again. Believe me in this, you will never regret. Biggest takeaway absolutely stick to the risk management and make sure you never overtrade when get losing trades. Wait your A+ setup to appear. Welcome 😇
Andrew NFX's scaled risk approach to passing challenges was interesting and sensible provided a person has the initial capital to throw at several challenges but moderating his approach of 4% approach on an A+ setup down to the 1-2% standard for all trades in phase 1 irrespective of whether it's a near perfect setup is just more mathematically sound. It just increases the number of times you can correct for prior errors if you encounter them. He doesn't outright say it but what Andrew recognizes is the value of time which often gets overlooked. If you spend an eternity on a challenge you're foregoing other opportunities and experiences in life that might be more lucrative or enjoyable. Definitely going to check out more of his work. Thanks for the vid Kimmel.
In the pursuit of effective trading practices, it is imperative to adopt a strategic approach to risk management. This involves the deliberate adjustment of risk parameters, specifically doubling the risk when confronted with winning trades to optimize potential gains. Conversely, in the event of losses or during periods of drawdown, a judicious reduction in risk becomes paramount to safeguarding capital. Furthermore, a nuanced tactic for bolstering confidence in trading endeavors involves the simultaneous management of multiple accounts. This multifaceted approach not only serves as a risk diversification strategy but also acts as a psychological buffer, enhancing resilience and fortitude in the face of market fluctuations. By adeptly juggling varied trading accounts, one can harness the benefits of diversified exposure, thereby contributing substantially to a more robust and confident trading experience.
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Deborah Davis) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
1.reduce risk to half after a loss. jade 2.dont copy others, do your own thing. paladin 3. focus on high probability A plus set up. andrew 4. understand that losses will come its inventible. learn to handle them. dan chang 5.have patience and discipline, avoid overtrading.pasquali.
1. focus on A+ setup 2. Risk 1 or 2 % on trade and it continues pass and if in draw down risking less 0.5% 3. Adjust risk based on balance and win/loss
fav takeaways 1.... your size determined by the circumstance of where ur account is at, if ur up 2-3% sure risk1%, but if u account is down 2% u have to cut the risk risk half percent instead, 2nd.... dont focous on one account, thats gonna put pressure on urself, if u can diversify in multiple account, 3..... have a prooof of concept, and have confidence on that setup, confidenece on ur psychology, confidence on yourself that its gonna workout overtime, 4th.....do u know where ur at, do u know the in & out of ur trade, 5th...... be consistant towars your set parameters stay diciplined in following ur set parameters
My Takeaway - Patience is a strategy, there's no need to rush to take trades - Risk management is very important - Only increase risk when your A+ Setup shows up in the but still abiding to the Daily drawdown rules - If you take a Loss on the first Trade which you risked 1% is ideal to risk 0,5% on the next one - Stick to your rules even when the market is not giving you what you want, it's better to miss out on trades than to take a loss on a setup that doesn't fit your strategy Thank you for sharing this insights Kimmel
There are some gems in here and you should take a few minutes to watch the video. Here are some things I learned: * Adjust risk based on your initial balance to navigate drawdowns and increase chances of passing a prop firm challenge - Kyle * Tailor your approach to prop firm challenges based on your circumstances, avoiding blind imitation of successful traders - Paladin * Strategically and aggressively approach prop firm challenges, considering risk management and win rate - Andrew * Two crucial factors for prop firm success: proof of concept (backtesting, psychology) and unwavering confidence in your strategy - Dan * Exercise patience, treat prop trading as a long-term career, avoid shortcuts, and maintain discipline forsustained success - Pasquale
My takeaways 1. Know your A plus set-ups 2. Know how to scale the risk to conserve capital during drawdown 3. Each phase of your funding journey you can go more conservative or aggressive with risk to get more funds 4. Take your time !!! Use one than snowball that up
Woah one thing I've seen is that rushing to get funded makes you make more mistakes because you're not risking accordingly And you should stop comparing yourself to these big traders because they've mastered their edge in the markets instead of trading every day they wait for an A+ setup and beginners come on the markets looking to pass a challenge in a in a day🤷🏽♂️which is pure gambling Risk management is key, you can get lucky a few times but it'll catch up with you, so it's better to risk less and focus on building consistency and finding your edge you'll be profitable in the long run, remember slow money is better than no money 💯
Great Knowledge ! My Key Takeaways 1) Adjust your risk per trade based on your initial Balance. 2) Go with Conservative Risk 0.5%, 1% that doesn't make you Emotional. 3) Diversify Your Risk. 4) You Must have a Solid Data to Prove yourself you have an Edge in the Market By doing Backtesting, Sample Testing. 5) Know the rules, have patience and discipline, avoid over-leveraging, Have a Plan is must.
1. reasonable money management (ie 1-2% risk) 2. do not rush the process 3. don't look up to others (there is a proverb that losers look up to winners, and winners look up to victory)
My favorite takeaway in the above video are; 1. What they all have in common is there is no rush to get funded. One should take their time . 2. Your risk management should align with your strategy. You don't have to risk like 2% on a low probability set up. But when you have am A+ set up you can risk up to 2% or more depending on your risk appetite. 3. Having a realistic goal also help to get funded. Trading without goals is like sailing without compass. The best is yet to come
My fav take away was what Paladin said, that we should know our level, and risk according to what we can lose. Some are aggressive risk and some are conservative risk
Key Takeaways: 1. Reduce risk when in negative drawdown. Focus on getting break even first, and then you can increase risk once you are in positive balance (Risk Management) 2. Don't copy those who use big risk like 4.5% risk, because you are not built the same, you buy challenge with your hard earned paycheck, approach it as such. 3. Don't buy 1 big challenge, instead split into multiple accounts, so you have a wider risk of passing the challenge. 4. Proof of concept, make sure you do the backtesting and have a confidence in your trading plan. It's important for mental toughness. 5. Be patience, it's okay if it takes months. Back to trading plan, risk management, discipline.
My biggest takeaway is Risk Management that most of them emphasized on this that how important it is to stay in the game for long time. Risking 1% or .5% per trade and cutting your risk even further when you had two or more losing trades is a key. Second would be proof of concept that you have to know your strategy and have confidence in it which comes from backtesting, sample testing. Lastly confidence is another key factor which you develop over time by practicing and staying away from copying your mentors or anybody. Thank you Kimmel! Great work putting this together 👍
Key of success to become funded trader is Clear mind,Decipline, Patience, Clear strategy, risk management throughout process consistency is important to big payouts.
The advice to have patience and take it slowly. If you’re someone who values patience in trading was one of my favorite takeaways from this video. Great video man, keep it up.
Key takeaways 1) Dynamic risk management is the key when u are in from a long time 2) Conservative risk when u are a beginner 3) maintain maximum risk that is okay with mind set until it is not giving u FOMO 😄This are my key take aways kimmel And waiting for the part 2 Thank you
Pasquale's advice with regards to patience was a crucial takeaway for me . lf you are patient during the Challenge phase you prepare yourself to be resilient during the Funding phase . Great value from a skillful trader .
Biggest takeaway for me was that you have to do what works for you. Suggestions ranged from "risk it all" to "risk as little as possible". However personally i have come to the conclusion in my own trading that high risk works better. Pretty much exactly what andrew suggested. Why? The lowest risk point is actually phase 1 where you have only a fee to lose. When risk is lowest you up your size. Phase 2 is moderate, you have the fee + 8-10% from phase 1 at risk. So you decrease size to match higher risk. Finally funded is the highest risk because now you can completely lose your ability to get paid and be forced to make 12-15% to get it back. Now you risk smallest amounts.
They both acknowledge the increased difficulty of trading due to algorithms and high-speed trading, but also note the benefits of tools and information. While one trader criticizes high-frequency trading conditions as unethical and wasteful, the other questions their legitimacy in real trading. Both agree that new traders should avoid high leverage and focus on learning and surviving in the trading world.
I think the most important piece of advice was given by Dan Cheung. Before even buying a challenge, you need real evidences that you can trade (a proven system with an edge, a solid risk management plan and your psychology needs to be aligned with your system). Also, you need confidence in yourself and in your system, so you'll be able to deal with losing streaks, drawdown periods, and all kind of pressure you will face while trading. Great video, Kimmel.
🌱Roots, 1. I agree that we can learn all concepts, but to produce results, we need to develop a mechanical system based on them. This system can be applied and improved to make progress and see results. 2. I also 100% agree that when you are losing money, you will not be able to maintain a stable mindset for learning. So, don't trade while learning, and protect your mental stability at all costs.
Main take ways : 1. Have a proper risk management depending on your situation, also drop risk when in drawdown. 2. Focus on process, not the outcome. Results will follow. 3. Have a stable ok plan / strategy / trading routine to have stable results.
One thing that all of these prop traders have in common is managing risk according to their initial balance. They've their own strategy, not copying others approach but their unique way. One is risking 0.25% and other one 4%. They don't use same risk but different risk management in different stages. 11:39
My takeaways from the video that I'll be keeping in mind going forward Jade advise on lowering and adjusting the risk exposure Paladin warning of not trying to imitate others method by getting influenced on social media Andrew suggestion to trade only A+ setups when the odds are in ones favor Dan's suggestion on building confidence, along with edge and strategy Pasquale's important suggestion to work with patience and thinking in long term Lastly thanks to you for making such an interesting video I have shared your video in my circle so it could reach larger audience so that we can reach 4K likes for part 2 ❤
My favourite takeaway is from Dan's tip which is you have to have belief in your trading strategy which will only come from rigorous forward and back testing. Then you don't panic with some losing streaks you might face off the bat.
My take aways: 1- patience is key 2- Buy multiple accounts, don't spend your life savings on 1 challenge 3- risk % per trade is based on high probability setups
My favorite takeaway from this video is by Dan Chong, aka mentor and great friend of Kimmel, where he emphasizes the importance of having: 1. Proof of concept through back testing, sample testing, and psychology 2. Confidence and unwavering mindset in the process 3. Discipline and dynamic risk management
Great video with alot of insightful tips✨️✨️ The tips that got me were to have patience,don't think of passing the prop in a day or two, be Conservative with your prop as you most likely worked alot to get that prop firm account and finally make sure you have proof of concept and unwavering confidence, when in drawdown your confidence level will be tested and that's where your unwavering confidence comes into play I really hope to see the part 2 of this video 🔥🔥
This video topic hits exactly the obstacle I am facing right now - passing a challenge. Lots of great tips from these successful traders. What was interesting to me is that the strategies they employ to pass are different, as are the risk profiles and strategies they use to pass. Since I have not been successful in passing yet, I am going to try a different system that Jadecap suggested (risk % that scales up or down depending on my trade wins or losses from base). And also reduce the setups I take. Thanks!
I will say as an important takeaway: “Never leave unrealised profits on the table”. So take partials and never let an open trade overnight. Why? Because as one big guy mentioned the rate between risk/reward and headache increases so it is better not playing with your stress! But all the advices they gave are pure gold! One that touches me was from Dan Cheun backtesting with discipline, understanding yourself & have confident in the work🎉🎉
Awesome vid, Dan's proof of concept and jade's risk reducement is the biggest takeaway for me. Currently working on those two and glad to hear Im on a good path.
Every trader should have a proof of concept. Have a strategy that you’ve carefully backtested and willing to stick to, trade it over time also knowing that losing periods will come but that you would win over time.
Fist Thank you bro for helping the community 🙏🏼🙏🏼 The best take away is the RISK MANAGEMENT is from JCAP So at the start you risk at least 1% if it's a winner you risk more on the next trade if not risk less so you wanna be flexible and try to stay alive in the challenge
Wow, what a great impact, 1st that's very useful is ,do you know what's going on 2nd is do you have an edge? 3rd is don't put all your eggs in 1 basket (split it into different prop firms)
"Take it slow." This advice coincides with what I wrote in my trading plan: "Remember that always when you wanted to do faster, it turned out to be the opposite.
Great Video from you kimmel, one of the best video industry people needed takeaway :: Risk Managment and Risk Management , play the game slow not try to get passed in ONE DAY ,from pasquale , i liked not only because of RiskMangaement but he also said Everything will Work , really everything will work in trading if we have patience
My takeaways: 1- Each person have his own reality and copying other peoples strategy to get funded in its entirety is not going to work if my reality is different (paladin) 2- Losses are part of the process, understanding this is going to make my mentality stronger and maybe more wins :D
Top Takeaway Points: Maintain Consistent Risk Management: When in profit, stick to the same risk level (1%). If a trade moves into loss territory, adjust risk to 0.50% to protect capital. Prioritize A+ Setups: Only engage in trades that meet the criteria of being A+ setups, ensuring higher probability of success. Embrace Discipline: Adhere strictly to your trading plan and rules, maintaining discipline even in challenging market conditions. Avoid Blindly Following Others: Refrain from copying the trades of other traders, as their strategies may not align with your own goals and risk tolerance. Steer Clear of Gambling Mentality: Approach trading with a mindset focused on calculated risk-taking and strategic decision-making, avoiding impulsive or speculative behaviors.
My take away are 1. Know yourself 💯 2. Have a good trading plan 3. Reduce risk when on drawdown 4. Have patience and know trading is not a get quick rich scheme 💯👍❤️ Much love and support from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬❤❤
Key takeaways: Manage your risk as if you do have a couple of winning trades, just double your risk, and if you are losing trades, or you are in drawdown, lower your risk. More than one account at a time also helps you boost your confidence and will help a lot in passing it.
My favourite takeaway is mother hubbards fish and chips place. 😂 But in all seriousness 1. Adjusting risk depending on DD 2. Dont compare yourself with others
Key Points 💰 Money management is crucial inside and outside of prop firms. 🎯 Understanding the strategy's edge and having a profitable strategy is crucial, as luck can only take you so far in trading. 💪 Confidence in trading comes from understanding that losses and drawdowns are part of the process, and sticking to the proven concept is crucial for success. 📈 The key to passing prop firm challenges is knowing the rules, trading style, and what it takes to succeed. ⏳ Most Traders have no patience. They want to pass a challenge in a day or two which is possible, but it's not the right way to do it!
My favourite takeaways are to cut risk in half when in drawdown and be conservative with your risk in relation to your circumstance, don’t look at how your favourite trader online passes challenges.
Taking high probability set-ups, knowing your strategy well through back testing and most importantly 1-2% per day not per trade, increasing the same after profit.
Key takeaways: *There's no shortcut on this business *Proof of strategy will increase your confidence when executing the trades *Trading is YOU VS YOU game
Here are my main takeaways - Be conservative in your approach to sustain good emotional balance -If you are more developed and have a high win rate, you can increase your position size to past challenges in a short period of time which can enable you stack capital faster_Andrew -You have to proof to yourself through study that your trading system actually works or is profitable. And in order for you to actually apply yourself in these challenges you need to develop the confidence needed for you to succeed. -Avoid the "get rich quick" mentally and look long term - treat trading like a career
My takeaways from these traders.
1_ Reducing your risk as jade said.
2 _ Don't copy to approach challenges as other do on social media as paladin said.
3 _ play smart , trade only high probability setup as Andrew said
4 _ your edge, your psychology, your strategy and other thing is having confidence as Dan said.
5 _ do you actually know what is going on , ask yourself as Pasquale said, anything can work in trading , you should have patience.
It's not quick rich scheme, it will take time
Great work Kimmel ❤
Appreciate it man 👍
Not just cut risk half in dd phase, but also burn the recent profits to do more profits when you are in profits phase.
Pasquale said to have Patiance and trade h1 and above.
That's a true master of trading.
Risking half of the initial risk when we are in Drawdown is the biggest tip and takeaway for example first trade 1 % risk if I loss the trade I need to reduce the 0.5 % to until reach initial balance 👌🏻 🏆Takeaway is Risk management and money management wins the trading game 🤩👍 waiting for part 2💎
Just made a screen shot on this comment. 😆😆💯🎯
It's on ict risk management video
How I just now learning this!? Omg 😝💯
I learned five important lessons from top prop traders:
1. Manage risk
2. Don't copy others
3. Focus on high probability setups
4. Be confident in your edge
5. Be patient and disciplined
Profitability is more important than passing challenges, and passing challenges is no guarantee of success. Thanks to Kimmel for sharing these insights!
My biggest takeaway is to buy multiple trading accounts. Next time I have $100 to spend I'm buying two 5k accounts instead on one 10k account.
*I didn't become financially independent until I was in my late 40's, and I'm still in my 40's. In addition to having purchased my second home and earning money on a monthly basis through passive income, I've also achieved three out of five goals.

They all talked about 2 really important things:
- Do you really know what rules do you must have for your personal trading and to pass those challenges?
- Do you have enough proves to start a challenge or are you just running after the money?
My takeaway from this video
1.discipline
2. Consistentcy
3. A executable and profitable strategy
4.be patient
5. relentlessly exexute your trading plan

Amazing video and good tips from the peers
Appreciate you having me on and best of luck to the people reading this as message if for you take your shi seriously 😈
Biggest takeaway - take my time no rushing for my set up and understanding my position and ability to scale
I’m so grateful that we get this content in this day and age. Thank you Kimmel for being able to set this up for all traders that are out there without a social presence.
This was timely since I failed three evaluation accounts this week trying to push my edge.
They take away that I got here is to take it slow. Have a long-term vision. If I lose my first trade, cut the risk in half each loss.
My favorite takeaway is even if it takes you one, two or six months, do not rush to pass the challenge. Stay disciplined and treat it like a business.
Here are the best answer that you can take. I am currently trading for more than 5 years. I have never failed even a challenge in the prop firm. More than 10 challenges that I passed. I use 1:3 RR for all trades. No secret here, the first trade should be risking 1%. If you win, you risk the entire 3%. If you lose, you go to the initial balance, if you win you pass it. Everytime your account is on drawdown, risk 0.5% per trade, after your acc reach 2% drawdown, risk 0.25% and never change it again. Believe me in this, you will never regret. Biggest takeaway absolutely stick to the risk management and make sure you never overtrade when get losing trades. Wait your A+ setup to appear. Welcome 😇
My biggest takeway is to look trade as a carrer. Take it slowly and look it in long term I think is the most valious tip.
Andrew NFX's scaled risk approach to passing challenges was interesting and sensible provided a person has the initial capital to throw at several challenges but moderating his approach of 4% approach on an A+ setup down to the 1-2% standard for all trades in phase 1 irrespective of whether it's a near perfect setup is just more mathematically sound. It just increases the number of times you can correct for prior errors if you encounter them. He doesn't outright say it but what Andrew recognizes is the value of time which often gets overlooked.

By adeptly juggling varied trading accounts, one can harness the benefits of diversified exposure, thereby contributing substantially to a more robust and confident trading experience.

I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus $32,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
Thanks to Mrs Deborah Davis.
She's a licensed broker here in the states
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Deborah Davis) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimony on CNBC news last week.
1.reduce risk to half after a loss. jade
2.dont copy others, do your own thing. paladin
3. focus on high probability A plus set up. andrew
4. understand that losses will come its inventible. learn to handle them. dan chang
5.have patience and discipline, avoid overtrading.pasquali.
You guys had huge impact in my improvement , every single person in this video taught me something precious .
1. focus on A+ setup
2. Risk 1 or 2 % on trade and it continues pass and if in draw down risking less 0.5%
3. Adjust risk based on balance and win/loss
fav takeaways 1.... your size determined by the circumstance of where ur account is at, if ur up 2-3% sure risk1%, but if u account is down 2% u have to cut the risk risk half percent instead, 2nd.... dont focous on one account, thats gonna put pressure on urself, if u can diversify in multiple account, 3..... have a prooof of concept, and have confidence on that setup, confidenece on ur psychology, confidence on yourself that its gonna workout overtime, 4th.....do u know where ur at, do u know the in & out of ur trade, 5th...... be consistant towars your set parameters stay diciplined in following ur set parameters
My Takeaway
- Patience is a strategy, there's no need to rush to take trades
- Risk management is very important
- Only increase risk when your A+ Setup shows up in the but still abiding to the Daily drawdown rules
- If you take a Loss on the first Trade which you risked 1% is ideal to risk 0,5% on the next one
- Stick to your rules even when the market is not giving you what you want, it's better to miss out on trades than to take a loss on a setup that doesn't fit your strategy
Thank you for sharing this insights Kimmel
There are some gems in here and you should take a few minutes to watch the video. Here are some things I learned:
* Adjust risk based on your initial balance to navigate drawdowns and increase chances of passing a prop firm challenge - Kyle
* Tailor your approach to prop firm challenges based on your circumstances, avoiding blind imitation of successful traders - Paladin
* Strategically and aggressively approach prop firm challenges, considering risk management and win rate - Andrew
* Two crucial factors for prop firm success: proof of concept (backtesting, psychology) and unwavering confidence in your strategy - Dan
* Exercise patience, treat prop trading as a long-term career, avoid shortcuts, and maintain discipline forsustained success - Pasquale
We need part 2 kimmel. Learned a lot from this one.
My takeaways
1. Know your A plus set-ups
2. Know how to scale the risk to conserve capital during drawdown
3. Each phase of your funding journey you can go more conservative or aggressive with risk to get more funds
4. Take your time !!! Use one than snowball that up
Woah one thing I've seen is that rushing to get funded makes you make more mistakes because you're not risking accordingly
And you should stop comparing yourself to these big traders because they've mastered their edge in the markets instead of trading every day they wait for an A+ setup and beginners come on the markets looking to pass a challenge in a in a day🤷🏽♂️which is pure gambling
Risk management is key, you can get lucky a few times but it'll catch up with you, so it's better to risk less and focus on building consistency and finding your edge you'll be profitable in the long run, remember slow money is better than no money 💯
Great Knowledge ! My Key Takeaways
1) Adjust your risk per trade based on your initial Balance.
2) Go with Conservative Risk 0.5%, 1% that doesn't make you Emotional.
3) Diversify Your Risk.
4) You Must have a Solid Data to Prove yourself you have an Edge in the Market By doing Backtesting, Sample Testing.
5) Know the rules, have patience and discipline, avoid over-leveraging, Have a Plan is must.
1. reasonable money management (ie 1-2% risk)
2. do not rush the process
3. don't look up to others (there is a proverb that losers look up to winners, and winners look up to victory)
My favorite takeaway in the above video are;
1. What they all have in common is there is no rush to get funded. One should take their time .
2. Your risk management should align with your strategy. You don't have to risk like 2% on a low probability set up. But when you have am A+ set up you can risk up to 2% or more depending on your risk appetite.
3. Having a realistic goal also help to get funded. Trading without goals is like sailing without compass.
The best is yet to come
My favorite takeaway is definitely treating trading like a business, patience is key and we have to manage our risks at all times
My fav take away was what Paladin said, that we should know our level, and risk according to what we can lose. Some are aggressive risk and some are conservative risk
Key Takeaways:
1. Reduce risk when in negative drawdown. Focus on getting break even first, and then you can increase risk once you are in positive balance (Risk Management)
2. Don't copy those who use big risk like 4.5% risk, because you are not built the same, you buy challenge with your hard earned paycheck, approach it as such.
3. Don't buy 1 big challenge, instead split into multiple accounts, so you have a wider risk of passing the challenge.
4. Proof of concept, make sure you do the backtesting and have a confidence in your trading plan. It's important for mental toughness.
5. Be patience, it's okay if it takes months. Back to trading plan, risk management, discipline.
My biggest takeaway is Risk Management that most of them emphasized on this that how important it is to stay in the game for long time. Risking 1% or .5% per trade and cutting your risk even further when you had two or more losing trades is a key.
Second would be proof of concept that you have to know your strategy and have confidence in it which comes from backtesting, sample testing.
Lastly confidence is another key factor which you develop over time by practicing and staying away from copying your mentors or anybody.
Thank you Kimmel!
Great work putting this together 👍
Key of success to become funded trader is Clear mind,Decipline, Patience, Clear strategy, risk management throughout process consistency is important to big payouts.
I love Dan's tip on having backtested the strategy before going to props thats my ultimate takeaway
The advice to have patience and take it slowly. If you’re someone who values patience in trading was one of my favorite takeaways from this video. Great video man, keep it up.
Key takeaways
1) Dynamic risk management is the key when u are in from a long time
2) Conservative risk when u are a beginner
3) maintain maximum risk that is okay with mind set until it is not giving u FOMO
😄This are my key take aways kimmel
And waiting for the part 2
Thank you
Pasquale's advice with regards to patience was a crucial takeaway for me . lf you are patient during the Challenge phase you prepare yourself to be resilient during the Funding phase . Great value from a skillful trader .
Biggest takeaway for me was that you have to do what works for you. Suggestions ranged from "risk it all" to "risk as little as possible".
However personally i have come to the conclusion in my own trading that high risk works better. Pretty much exactly what andrew suggested. Why? The lowest risk point is actually phase 1 where you have only a fee to lose. When risk is lowest you up your size. Phase 2 is moderate, you have the fee + 8-10% from phase 1 at risk. So you decrease size to match higher risk.
Finally funded is the highest risk because now you can completely lose your ability to get paid and be forced to make 12-15% to get it back. Now you risk smallest amounts.
The best thing of the video was that they shared the key insight of trading that's risk management
They both acknowledge the increased difficulty of trading due to algorithms and high-speed trading, but also note the benefits of tools and information. While one trader criticizes high-frequency trading conditions as unethical and wasteful, the other questions their legitimacy in real trading. Both agree that new traders should avoid high leverage and focus on learning and surviving in the trading world.
My fav takeaway was when kyle said the deeper u go in Drawdawn 💀 The easier it is to Smooth out your Equity curve 📈 by Reducing 💰 Risk.
Risk 0.5%, target 1:3RR, take 1 or 2 trades a day, start it this coming week do this for 1 month i bet you you'll see change insha Allah 💯
I think the most important piece of advice was given by Dan Cheung. Before even buying a challenge, you need real evidences that you can trade (a proven system with an edge, a solid risk management plan and your psychology needs to be aligned with your system). Also, you need confidence in yourself and in your system, so you'll be able to deal with losing streaks, drawdown periods, and all kind of pressure you will face while trading. Great video, Kimmel.
🌱Roots,
1. I agree that we can learn all concepts, but to produce results, we need to develop a mechanical system based on them. This system can be applied and improved to make progress and see results.
2. I also 100% agree that when you are losing money, you will not be able to maintain a stable mindset for learning. So, don't trade while learning, and protect your mental stability at all costs.
My favorite takeaway from this video
- Don’t copy others, consider your own goals
- Conservative risk when u are a beginner
I love your videos ❤
Main take ways : 1. Have a proper risk management depending on your situation, also drop risk when in drawdown. 2. Focus on process, not the outcome. Results will follow. 3. Have a stable ok plan / strategy / trading routine to have stable results.
for sure, Risking half of the initial risk when we are in Drawdown is the biggest tip and takeaway
I liked the most Kyle's advice on dinemical risk exposure after first trafe
One thing that all of these prop traders have in common is managing risk according to their initial balance. They've their own strategy, not copying others approach but their unique way. One is risking 0.25% and other one 4%. They don't use same risk but different risk management in different stages. 11:39
Inlike the idea of managing your risk depending if your first trade is a win or a lose. I will definitely add that to my arsenal
My takeaways from the video that I'll be keeping in mind going forward
Jade advise on lowering and adjusting the risk exposure
Paladin warning of not trying to imitate others method by getting influenced on social media
Andrew suggestion to trade only A+ setups when the odds are in ones favor
Dan's suggestion on building confidence, along with edge and strategy
Pasquale's important suggestion to work with patience and thinking in long term
Lastly thanks to you for making such an interesting video I have shared your video in my circle so it could reach larger audience so that we can reach 4K likes for part 2 ❤
My favourite takeaway is from Dan's tip which is you have to have belief in your trading strategy which will only come from rigorous forward and back testing. Then you don't panic with some losing streaks you might face off the bat.
My take aways:
1- patience is key
2- Buy multiple accounts, don't spend your life savings on 1 challenge
3- risk % per trade is based on high probability setups
My favorite takeaway from this video is by Dan Chong, aka mentor and great friend of Kimmel, where he emphasizes the importance of having:
1. Proof of concept through back testing, sample testing, and psychology
2. Confidence and unwavering mindset in the process
3. Discipline and dynamic risk management
Love how the second guy explained to not copy someone else. What works for them will not work for you
My biggest takeaway is on being patient it does not matter how long i take the challenge the goal is being funded not how fast i get there.
my fav take away was the risk management and when starting a challenge you risk less
Great video with alot of insightful tips✨️✨️
The tips that got me were to have patience,don't think of passing the prop in a day or two, be Conservative with your prop as you most likely worked alot to get that prop firm account and finally make sure you have proof of concept and unwavering confidence, when in drawdown your confidence level will be tested and that's where your unwavering confidence comes into play
I really hope to see the part 2 of this video 🔥🔥
Know and trust your strategy and apply good Risk management
key takeaway is reducking risk as u go futher into dd, i often increase my risk and reduce targeted rr
Key takeaways: we don't compare ourselves. Each person has a unique path that we must build with appropriate risk management.
Take away 2: think before taking trade where it take you
Take way 1: know your psychology, trading skill, and overall risk plan.
To pass the challenge
best takeaway is patience, discipline and management 🙌 thanks Kimmel! I want part 2 ^__^
This video topic hits exactly the obstacle I am facing right now - passing a challenge. Lots of great tips from these successful traders. What was interesting to me is that the strategies they employ to pass are different, as are the risk profiles and strategies they use to pass. Since I have not been successful in passing yet, I am going to try a different system that Jadecap suggested (risk % that scales up or down depending on my trade wins or losses from base). And also reduce the setups I take. Thanks!
I will say as an important takeaway: “Never leave unrealised profits on the table”. So take partials and never let an open trade overnight. Why? Because as one big guy mentioned the rate between risk/reward and headache increases so it is better not playing with your stress! But all the advices they gave are pure gold! One that touches me was from Dan Cheun backtesting with discipline, understanding yourself & have confident in the work🎉🎉
Awesome vid, Dan's proof of concept and jade's risk reducement is the biggest takeaway for me. Currently working on those two and glad to hear Im on a good path.
Every trader should have a proof of concept. Have a strategy that you’ve carefully backtested and willing to stick to, trade it over time also knowing that losing periods will come but that you would win over time.
I think that jadecap's advice was the best.
Risk Management is KEY.
My greatest take away was the proof of concept and from your initial balance, you decide what your risk will be.
My biggest takeaway is reducing risk when i am in losing streak. Patience and discipline is more important in trading.❤❤
Fist Thank you bro for helping the community 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The best take away is the RISK MANAGEMENT is from JCAP
So at the start you risk at least 1% if it's a winner you risk more on the next trade if not risk less so you wanna be flexible and try to stay alive in the challenge
Wow, what a great impact, 1st that's very useful is ,do you know what's going on
2nd is do you have an edge?
3rd is don't put all your eggs in 1 basket (split it into different prop firms)
"Take it slow." This advice coincides with what I wrote in my trading plan: "Remember that always when you wanted to do faster, it turned out to be the opposite.
Great Video from you kimmel, one of the best video industry people needed
takeaway :: Risk Managment and Risk Management , play the game slow not try to get passed in ONE DAY ,from pasquale , i liked not only because of RiskMangaement but he also said Everything will Work , really everything will work in trading if we have patience
My takeaways:
1- Each person have his own reality and copying other peoples strategy to get funded in its entirety is not going to work if my reality is different (paladin)
2- Losses are part of the process, understanding this is going to make my mentality stronger and maybe more wins :D
really interesting to see the different styles used by different traders here.

Much love and support from Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬❤❤
Stay calm during drawdown and even when in profit - My biggest takeaway
Key takeaways:
Manage your risk as if you do have a couple of winning trades, just double your risk, and if you are losing trades, or you are in drawdown, lower your risk.
More than one account at a time also helps you boost your confidence and will help a lot in passing it.
Patience..
Confident...
And Risk management is the main take away for me
My favourite takeaway is mother hubbards fish and chips place. 😂
But in all seriousness
1. Adjusting risk depending on DD
2. Dont compare yourself with others
Key Points
💰 Money management is crucial inside and outside of prop firms.
🎯 Understanding the strategy's edge and having a profitable strategy is crucial, as luck can only take you so far in trading.
💪 Confidence in trading comes from understanding that losses and drawdowns are part of the process, and sticking to the proven concept is crucial for success.
📈 The key to passing prop firm challenges is knowing the rules, trading style, and what it takes to succeed.
⏳ Most Traders have no patience. They want to pass a challenge in a day or two which is possible, but it's not the right way to do it!
My favourite takeaways are to cut risk in half when in drawdown and be conservative with your risk in relation to your circumstance, don’t look at how your favourite trader online passes challenges.
every single trader's in this video taught me something but Dan cheung really said it all 🔥🔥
Taking high probability set-ups, knowing your strategy well through back testing and most importantly 1-2% per day not per trade, increasing the same after profit.
Key takeaways:
*There's no shortcut on this business
*Proof of strategy will increase your confidence when executing the trades
*Trading is YOU VS YOU game
Here are my main takeaways
- Be conservative in your approach to sustain good emotional balance
-If you are more developed and have a high win rate, you can increase your position size to past challenges in a short period of time which can enable you stack capital faster_Andrew
-You have to proof to yourself through study that your trading system actually works or is profitable. And in order for you to actually apply yourself in these challenges you need to develop the confidence needed for you to succeed.
-Avoid the "get rich quick" mentally and look long term - treat trading like a career
