In this part of our Successful Trader Stories, we take a look at a trader who proved that respecting the FTMO Trading Objectives and staying consistent with risk management can lead to remarkable results. With a 31.9% profit on his $100,000 demo FTMO Account, he closed the trading period successfully and walked away with a well-deserved Reward. Find out how!<\/em><\/p>\n

Smooth Growth Through Focus and Control<\/h2>\n

The balance curve reflects confident and well-managed growth. Instead of chasing every opportunity, this trader focused on structured setups and steady execution. His disciplined approach helped him reach a final balance of $131,983.62<\/strong>, translating into a profit of $31,983.62<\/strong> within just two weeks.<\/p>\n

\"Balance<\/p>\n

His Consistency Score of 76%<\/strong> shows that his trades were not random but guided by a well-defined plan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Numbers That Tell the Story<\/h2>\n

The numbers behind his performance are clear. With a Win Rate of 37.3%<\/strong>, statistically less than four out of ten trades were profitable, but his reward-to-risk ratio of 3.01<\/strong> was more than enough to make the difference.<\/p>\n

\"Statistics\"<\/p>\n

His average winning trade<\/strong> brought in $1,543.65<\/strong>, while average losses<\/strong> were limited to $513.52<\/strong>. This balance created a Profit Factor of 1.79<\/strong>, proving that even with a lower win rate, strong risk-to-reward discipline can deliver consistent profitability.<\/p>\n

Focused Approach to Markets<\/h2>\n

This trader built his success around two favorite instruments: EURUSD and XAUUSD (Gold)<\/strong>. Despite their differences, both provided enough liquidity and volatility for his strategy to work efficiently.<\/p>\n

\"Charts\"<\/p>\n

Interestingly, he opened more short positions<\/strong> than longs, showing that he wasn\u2019t biased toward one direction. His flexibility allowed him to react to changing conditions while still respecting his Trading Objectives<\/strong> and Max Loss<\/strong> limits.<\/p>\n

Staying Composed During a Losing Streak<\/h2>\n

Every trader faces difficult days, and this one was no exception. The toughest period came around 30 September<\/strong>, when he recorded 13 consecutive losing trades<\/strong> and hit a Daily Loss of \u2013$4,754.34<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Worst<\/p>\n

Despite this challenging streak, he stayed calm, respected his Max Daily Loss limit of $5,000<\/strong>, and avoided emotional decision-making. His ability to step back and maintain discipline was crucial \u2014 and just a few days later, he made a strong comeback.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Case Study: A Well-Timed EURUSD Short<\/h2>\n

Although he traded gold more frequently, his best performance came from a different market \u2013 EURUSD<\/strong>. On 26 September, he opened a short position<\/strong> that lasted just over two hours<\/strong> and secured an impressive $6,156 profit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Best<\/p>\n

The setup was clean and disciplined: he had a Stop Loss<\/strong> in place and managed it dynamically throughout the trade. We can see that he closed the position above his originally set Take Profit<\/strong>, even though the move continued in his favor. With a bit more patience, the trade could have reached his TP level perfectly \u2014 but the decision to secure profits early was still a solid one.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Fundamental context:<\/strong> Around that time, EURUSD might have reversed lower as risk sentiment probably improved and investors shifted back toward the U.S. dollar. Concerns about a potential U.S. government shutdown were starting to ease, and further rate cuts might not have come as quickly as previously expected. This combination could have strengthened the USD and supported the trader\u2019s short position.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

This trader\u2019s performance proves that success isn\u2019t about trading more \u2014 it\u2019s about trading smarter. By respecting the Trading Objectives<\/strong>, focusing on EURUSD and AUXUSD<\/strong>, and maintaining emotional control even during tough periods, he achieved a 31.9% profit<\/strong> on his account.<\/p>\n

His approach shows that even with a modest Win Rate, disciplined<\/strong> risk management<\/strong> and patience<\/strong> can lead to outstanding results. Once again, this story reminds us that consistency, risk awareness, and emotional balance<\/strong> are the true cornerstones of profitable trading.<\/p>\n
