At 19, I made my first ₦10 million through prop firms. I’ve been featured as the face of traders by 3 prop firms.

At 21, I’ve reached max funding and kept consistent payouts.

If payouts feel impossible or you’re stuck in drawdown, grab a pen.

This thread is for you! 🧵
It’s estimated that only 4% of traders pass a prop firm challenge.

That means 96% fail.
Not because they can’t trade but because they break rules.

So the real questions are: 👇

❌ What are traders doing wrong?
✅ How do you join the 4% who pass consistently?

Have you ever wondered how traders flip $10 into $200?

95% of traders take avoidable losses trading synthetics not because it’s hard but because no one ever explained it properly.

If you read this thread carefully, you won’t be one of them. 🧵 I’ve traded crypto, forex, indices and synthetic indices but synthetics made me the most. This thread is pure experience, not theory.

Note:
- The only official broker you can trade synthetics on is Deriv.
Website: Deriv.com

- Unlike currency pairs, synthetic pairs are not available on TradingView.

To analyze them, you’ll need to use charts.deriv.com.

It looks almost exactly like TradingView. The only issue you might face is your charts clearing each time you log out.

To fix this, always save your analysis as a layout. When you log back in, simply load the layout and continue from where you stopped.

At 21, I’ve built 2 houses worth over ₦350,000,000 and I currently have a hotel project under construction, all from TRADING.

I’m not sharing this to brag.

I’m sharing because 99% of traders still struggle to make $100

This thread will show you what you’re getting wrong 👇 I wasn’t always profitable.
I had my fair share of losing streaks that felt endless. I blew accounts.
I jumped from one strategy to another. I faced every disappointment you could imagine as a newbie trader.

At one point, I even thought trading wasn’t for me. Instead of losing money over and over, I considered giving up completely.

I first heard about trading in 2021 during the bull run but I made no profits because I lacked both knowledge and capital. At 17, I had no job and my parents dismissed anything online as a “scam.”

I applied to multiple platforms offering free mentorship for teenagers but I was never selected. Everyone I approached to teach me insisted on payment, which was fair but I had no funds.

So I decided to raise the capital myself. I sold data online (many of you who knew me then will remember my daily status updates). I also wrote exams for people and picked up small jobs.

By October 2021, I finally paid for my first crypto mentorship. It wasn’t my last but it was the start.

So if you’re in this phase right now, remember that I was there too.

✰ There's no award for suffering before you make it in this space.

You have been trading synthetic indices, but no breakthrough ?

Well, I've been trading synthetics for 5 months now with a verifiable 75% win rate.

Want to figure out how I did it ?
Open and study‼️ The synthetics market is a mimic of the real world market, which makes it similar to forex currencies, yet different.

Calculation of pips, platform to analyze pairs, volatility, position sizing and so much more on synthetics differ from what you’re used to on forex currencies.

You'll be making a terrible mistake if you don’t read this thread to the end.

2/9.

I was just a 17 y/o teenager in 2021, no capital, no prior knowledge of trading, no source of income.

Read this thread to the end to understand how I was able to scale from 0 to 6 figures USD in just 2 years.

🧵🪡
I applied to different trading platforms that taught youngins for free but I was never lucky enough to be picked.

I've had my fair share of failures and disappointments in this space.

I first heard about trading in 2021 and met the bull run, but I didn't make any profits because I lacked both knowledge and capital. At 17, I had no job, and my parents were unsupportive of anything involving making money online.

I applied to several academies that offered free trading courses for teenagers, but I was never selected. Everyone I approached to teach me trading insisted on being paid for their time, which was reasonable. I knew I had to take action.

To raise capital to learn trading, I sold data online (many of you who knew me since 2021 will remember how I promoted my data subscriptions daily on my status). I also wrote exams for people and did other jobs.

In October 2021, I paid for my first crypto mentorship course. Everything seemed fine (maybe it was beginner's luck) until 2022, when I lost my little profits. I was on a losing streak for months.

Nothing I learned seemed to work, and I kept losing. I jumped from one mentorship to another, one strategy to another, and one class to another.
At some point, I thought trading wasn't for everyone, and instead of consistently losing money, I considered giving up completely.

In just one month, I’ve made over $22,000 trading the synthetics market with a win rate of over 70%.

This thread shares some of the approaches that have helped me to stay profitable trading synthetic indices so ensure you read to the end. 🧵🪡

1/8


Synthetic indices are artificial financial instruments replicating the volatility and risk observed in the real world financial markets.

The numbers in synthetic markets are generated using a specialized, audited random number generator and this ensures transparency and fairness.

This means that the synthetics market cannot be manipulated and unlike other markets, it has constant volatility 24 hours a day and 7 days in a week.

There are various approaches I use when it comes to staying profitable on the synthetics market however, in this thread, I'll share 6 of them.

Again, read till the end.

I was clearing my WhatsApp backlog this morning and came across a message that resonated with a common challenge many traders face.

IDENTIFYING A CHANGE IN TREND.

A thread 🧵
Before you read on, understand that different trading strategies have their own ways of identifying key points.

Only continue if you trade a similar strategy or have a good understanding of market structure.

Let’s go 👇

I spent three hours last night studying XAUUSD and discovered how significantly trendlines are respected on that pair.

The conventional sweep, inducement and BOS will result in more missed opportunities than wins.

I also observed that errors in identifying chart patterns on the pair can lead to losses. Therefore, I created this thread outlining rules for drawing and capitalizing on a trendline correctly.

Remember to repost for others.

A th~read👇
From your previous knowledge on TA and as shown above, you remember that an uptrend is formed by higher highs (HH) and higher lows (HL), and a downtrend is formed by lower highs (LH) and lower lows (LL).

A trendline is a line drawn above lower highs or below lower lows to show the prevailing direction of price, as shown in the images below.

They are dynamic support and resistance levels. Buying opportunities are capitalized on an uptrend line, while the downtrend line presents selling opportunities.

As I mentioned earlier, I noticed that on XAUUSD, 7 out of 10 trading opportunities are chart pattern-related.

The rules for catching higher probability opportunities are outlined below:

What is a Fair value gap?

Fair value gaps are price Jumps caused by Rapid pump or drop in price, this occurs when buying or selling pressure are not balanced resulting to a large upward or downward move, leaving behind an imbalance in the market.

A Th~read 🧵 (repost) A fair value gap appears on the Chart in a three candle pattern, where
The first candle and the Third candle wicks does not overlap due to aggressive spike or drop in price, The space between these wicks is known as the fair value gap.

The first slide is a FVG , The second slide is Not, Know the difference 💜

The ICT has 6 blocks.
The Orderblock and it's five ugly sisters -: breaker blocks, mitigation blocks, propulsion blocks, vacuum blocks and reclaimed blocks.
Here is a thread to help you make the most of reclaimed blocks. 👇🏼 First of all, refer to this tweet if you still have issues understanding breaker blocks 👇

A reclaimed block, a breaker block and a flip zone.
50 retweets and I'll make a simplified thread on reclaimed blocks with good live examples. Still reclaimed.👌

Have you been finding it difficult to understand the concept of breaker blocks?
Here's a detailed thread to bring you clarity. 👇 A breaker block is simply an Orderblock that was invalidated with momentum or without reaction.
When an Orderblock is reacted on before invalidation, a flip zone is created but when an Orderblock is invalidated without reaction, a breaker block is created.

Break of structure and Change of character; how exactly are they different? What do they mean on my charts? How can I identify them?
I've gotten alot of similar questions to these and here is a thread to bring you clarity. 🧵 BOS- A break of structure occurs when price breaks a previous higher high for an ongoing uptrend or when price breaks a previous lower low for an ongoing downtrend.

A demand zone is the price area at which traders's interest or potentials to buy is highest. It is a demand zone because it has many buy orders at that level. The inverse is for supply zones. But what makes a demand/supply level one of high probability?

A thread 🧵 1. PREMIUM/ DISCOUNT PRICING; A high probability demand zone should be at the discount of price and supply at the premium of price. This helps us buy at cheaper prices and sell at expensive prices. Look out for demand zones in discount and look out for supply zones in premium.

125X leverage and what comes to your mind is; they're gambling, they don't manage their risks, a little move against them and they'll loose it all. Lol

POSITION SIZING; A THREAD TO ENLIGHTEN YOU. What is leverage? Leverage means borrowed money. It allows us to trade using borrowed funds in order to make big profits.
What is position sizing?
Position sizing refers to the size of a position within a portfolio. More like the dollar amount a trade is going to trade. Then,
