Paul is so humble.. He banked $500k yet He kept his old headset where he could get a bunch of beats or bose ones.... :))
That’s how you know he’s a real trader not those fake ass gurus buying lambos
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@oux2718 nah bro 😂 he’s just old
@@kay-il2jr 🤣🤣
beats are shit xd
Paul made my day! Did anyone notice his Win Rate? It is 22.45%, WTF??!! 😱 That just proves that you don't have to show off an 85% or 90% Win Rate, with nowhere near the PROFIT Paul makes. It just blows my mind! Paul has a win rate less than 30%, yet made a half one million dollars PROFIT in one month!! That is phenomenal! Bravo Paul!! I want to be like you when I grow up!! Congratulations brother!!
win rate is overrated, as long as you cut your losses short and hold your winners that's all that matters
Just take only trades with high rr potential and never risk more than 1%
Well done mate, now you can probably afford a decent mic😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
And a paid version of tradingview! 😂
😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I guess that’s why he’s going to be very wealthy, he doesn’t spend money on things he doesn’t need. If he doesn’t need a lot of indicators, why pay for services you don’t need? 😂 Wealthy people maintain their wealth by being frugal. But, it doesn’t cost a lot for a decent mic….😂that’s less than $100.
Phenomenal!!!
Takeaways. And it's everything that we've all heard and seen before.
1. Understanding top-down analysis.
2. Understanding market structure.
3. Understanding some fundamentals to help develop your bias.
4. Developing your own strategy which can include basic widely available indicators. (RSI, Fibs etc)
5. Back Testing
6. Risk Management/Conservative Lot Sizes
7. Allowing the trade to play out - patience.
8. Divergence.
Thanks! 🙏🏼
And no ICT SMART MONEY
so he trade smc
@@Apple-nb8uy no
And paying yourself percial profit🖒
I’ve been trading on and off since 2015. I finally picked it back up a month ago. I needed a break to clear my mind. Then I heard about getting funded and I really went for it. I haven’t taken the challenge yet, but this week I profited 30% on my 100k demo with 1% risk. Barely any draw down on my wins and 1k max losses. Idk how I’m seeing the charts so different and how I’m able to control my emotions but cheers to all the traders out there. I pray all of you become financially free ❤️🙏
Do you have any tips?
Amen 🙏🏽
30% on a 100k account is 30k. and you only need to make 5% to pass the demo. did you mean to say 3% profit? Because if you are up 30k on a 100k demo account, I think you are more than ready for a real account
@@MegaTyphoon91 I made 30k last week trading brother!!! Lol. I couldn’t believe it. 30% in one week after not trading for a long time.
@@jaketryban8772 thats really impressive for real! Great job bro! Hearing stories like that gives me hope to whats possible
Shout out to Paul for making it for the interview, he could have silently stay low while enjoying all his profits but instead, he gave us some insights of his trading journey and process to inspire other traders out there. Hats off to you Paul!
Congratulations Paul!
Believe in Jesus Christ and truly repent of your sins. Jesus Christ is coming back, everything passes on this earth but Jesus Christ is eternal. he loved you first. Jesus Christ before ascending to heaven left two commandments summarizing the entire law, Love God above all things and with all your mind and with all your heart this is the first is a great commandment and the second similar to this is To love your neighbor as you do, these two commandments summarize the entire law of the prophets.
Wow almost 10 years of trading experience. That is amazing work. I can't wait to be in that long. I'm 2 years into the forex market and just discovered funded trading! Im up 5% so far on the 100k ftmo challenge. This will be a life changer. All this time pays off in the markets and it's an amazing process of self growth and mindset improvment as well.
im the same i just passed my challenge. Very excited
Great job brother
I just passed my challenge and a week out from getting my first payout.
How long did it take u to pass that challenge?
This guy completely smokes all those SMC scammers. Classic price action and fundamentals will always win
False
I'm sorry for your experience with SMC traders, but I'd just like to say that SMC works well for me, and that its never the strategy that matters, its always the trader
@@callmebix SMC itself is completely fine, it's just basic price action with different terms. I myself trade in a very similar way. So the style works imo.
The issue I have is all the fake gurus claiming to "trade like the banks" or whatever marketing slogan. It's a style of trading I associate with grifters who can't actually trade. For instance, people like ICT blow accounts and fake withdrawals yet claim to know special secrets that separate them from the retail crowd. It's just all nonsense.
Keep at it though
@@Robin-ub7yd falsen't
@@drsgme69 My bad, I miss understood you. Indeed those gurus just draw anything on the chart and claim to have taken a 1:100 trade, making the concept look bad and unrealistic.
With 25% of win rate and making such profit is phenomenal risk management and impressive position size management. Bravo
This result is quite amazing. Weldone Paul!
So I did a little analysis based on Paul's result and here is what I found out and it is most likely how he also was able to achieve this.
if you had a 300K account (like he does) and you took the total of 383 trades (like he did) and you had a win rate of 22% (like he had) to achieve the result of aprox 168% profit like he did, all you need do is risk 0.1% per trade targeting 20R trades.
Often times what gets we traders trading prop firm accounts is that we exhaust the loss thresholds of these accounts before our edge can play out in our favour.
Paul simply reduced his risk to the bearest minimum and took a shit ton of trades to enable his edge play out. from His average loss of 339.09 (aprox 0.11% risk per trade) it is obvous he was risking 0.1% per trade
Dude took a total of 383 trades and was risking about 0.1% per trade, had a 22% win rate and ended up with a 168% profit in one month. above everythinng else he applied a robust risk management strategy that gave him this resounding win.
Nice analysis
I disagree. Telling by how he doesn’t say how much he risks. I think he is risking quite a bit by his FTMO trade history. Appears to be scaling into trades that move in his favor before getting a big move. Looks like he takes profits on some to pay himself and let the rest run. He had quite a bit good trading streaks and it paid off.
Well said Chuks and thank you for breaking it down for us. You are right as I have been able to grow my $100,000 demo account to $102,159 in one month. When I tried to take almost as many trades at the same 0.01 level with my live account it didn't fair as well so I adjusted the settings on my software for my live account trades. Also, I wouldn't dare trade currency pairs on an account with less than a $100,000 balance and even then I just trade the CHFJPY at 0.01 and not more than 0.03. Drawdown is the real enemy of a retailer's trade next to greed!
@@EruvwuObuaya you kept taking about your software like as if someone is going to ask you about it , we don’t care about whatever EA or robot you use , so please rest , no one is buying shit from you , No one is interested
That means he lost 78% of trades, 383 X 78% = 298 trades lost. 298 trades X $300 = $89,400. On a 300k account, max drawdown he is able to take is 30k. I wonder how he was able to stay in the positive with that win rate percentage. Unless he had a great winning streak in the beginning?
I was waiting for this interview.... What guts. Well done.
Imagine Paul now started a mentorship, he would easily top 500k 😂
What a legend, amazing job Paul!
I'm speechless, this is the best FTMO's interview that I've seen so far. Paul trades like a real "market wizard", he thinks like a genius and act like a computer, bringing us the best RRR and money results. God bless you Paul and FTMO for this amazing and inspiring video 🙏🏼
He is a good trader no doubt, but let’s not worship him like a god. Just sayin’
Funny because a Market Wizard also has the same name 😁... Paul Tudor Jones
legendary bro absolutely insane that he accomplished this
Amazing. Just goes to show what knowledge, experience, patience, hard work, humility, and lack of greed can accomplish. No fancy algorithmic indicators, just solid foundational technical and fundamental knowledge, and a level-headed, inquisitive mindset. Thanks!
Simply incredible!!! I'm watching this interview a few times and he gives a lot of details! What a boss!
Well done fellow trader . That was amazing and yes patience is everything. Thanks for sharing your journey.

Finally we get to see Paul M, a pro trader, i have never seen someone making such a big profit before, your pasistance paid off
i have seen someone making 2 million usd in 15 months and losing all in just a month

He made 500k in 1 month?? If yes with how much capital? If not then he accumulated 500k profit over how long and with what amount of capital please?
Dudes mental game is 1%. He never quit and built a superhero esque mental fortitude that can lose over 75% and still keep your head. Absolutely amazing. Awesome work!
What an absolute legend! Great interview!
Love it! Truly a journey and everyone has a great story. Well done Paul!!!!
Congratulations Paul 🎊🎉🍾... this is encouraging.
I comeback to this video for motivation and insite alot, I passed my 200k challenge but failed verification a few days ago, but I know what I did wrong and I'm not mad, I'm currently on a 100k account and plan on passing both phases soon
Why did you fail
5.87 profit factor on a 383 trades sample size, absolute legend, I don't think I've ever seen anyone exploiting inefficiencies this good
383 is a huge sample size ,
does he trade infexiencies ?
Mate thank you for sharing all of these with us! truly great person! congrats.
ftmo: Paul has recieved the highest payout ever!
Dariusz: Hold my Keyboard....
these Online prop firm payouts are getting crazy. I always hear about people in office prop firms making 7-8 figures but to actually watch it on a leaderboard is crazy...hope these online prop firms dont have issues because of this huge payouts
Long and a little tiring interview. But from time to time I am watching for the details of the explanations. Very good! Congratulations on the interview!
i wish they would follow up with more of their trader interviews, ones that continued, and ones that did not.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing the interview!!!! We have ALL been waiting since seeing the news
ftmo you changing lives great job
This is great. So excited for this interview.
That dropped help alot .was 200k on just that drop..insane .. holding that such of profits over 5 days is kind of brave mind
Thank you both for this interview. I really appreciate his story as I too have had a lot of losses along the way and it has been a long journey... Nice to see the bright light at the end of the tunnel. Great Job!
Great guy, such an amazing example. I can’t say that one day I’ll be record breaker on FTMO but i can promise I’ll scaling my ftmo account to $2M.
Wrong imo opinion..... Don´t go into challenges thinking/forcing yourself that it will change your life. It COULD, and CAN, but to eliminate the emotional pressure I suggest to just seeing it as ¨one trade¨. If you pay 600 usd for a 100k challenge, just think of it as a potential small $600 loss. I did 4 challenges, failed them all because i put all this pressure on myself because ¨it´s live changing¨. Then.... I just thought about it as a minor investment, my confidence exploded, and I passed 2 in a row without any problems.
@@mkprivate7523 this is it bro.. 300k is actually 30K and the major risk involve is the amount we paid and ours is to execute all the time out trading plan whenever a high probability setups shows up
@@mkprivate7523 how is it going?
Bien joué Paul.
Le gar ne c'est pas laissé emporter par la vaine gloire, il est resté humble, ce n'est pas parcequ'on gagne beaucoup d'argent qu'on doit perdre la vertue. Le secret de ton succès réside dans ton humilité. Merci pour cette leçon Paul.
Great Interview!!! Paul gave valuable insight on how to achieve consistency in trading. His journey and achievements are an inspiration to traders who aspire for phenomenal success in trading.
I’m wondering why this isn’t the highest viewed FTMO video! What he accomplished is remarkable.
this guy is a top G. Glad I watched this interview.
Saw my man on the leader board and i just knew an interview was coming
What's his Twitter handle.
Definitely puts into perspective how important fundamental analysis is.
Psychology is the game, not your strategy.😊.....welldone man.🤲🧘
Wow, this is huge
Mine is coming too 😌
Fantastic interview….thank you.
I have watched it a few times and each time I get a little more insight from something I missed. Congratulations on your success with FTMO. Be forever blessed.
Congratulations 500k
Look what's possible, congratulations. A great interview.
Massive value and insights by this respectable Man. Thank you for sharing.
Wow way to go Paul. This is legendary!
Paul is great but FTMO did honor that profit and did the payout? That is incredible
55 trades on a single day, that is crazy but I like his mind-set. I am happy for him
The profit factor de burst my brain, super amazing
22% win rate and still profitable. good stuff
Nice one, congratulation brother! Much deserved, the work was put in and the results showed.
Awesome Results, absolutely amazing Job !!
I Hope this helps to clear the misconception that these "SMC" traders are using to market to people to sign up for their courses that "Retail" Strategies don't work. Most strategies and models have to the potential of working if you have done your due diligence and can follow your trading plan day in day out.
Paul and other FTMO traders are living testaments to that.
SMC/ICT are the prop firms favorite strategies, because most lose. The reason there are so many SMC/ICT trading courses or 'mentors' out there is due to the simple fact that it doesn't work, if it did then they wouldn't teach.
I tRaDe likE tHe BaNkS bRo XD
@@Edge_Zones95 boss
Traders can make money both ways. Do what works for you!
It’s not about what strategy you use, me personally I trade SMC but at the end of the day it’s about perfecting your strategy. Backtesting 500 trades and forward testing 500 trades until your strategy is fully refined. There are traders that make millions off just a moving average. Master your trap, it’s not a get rich quick scheme
Wow. I was following him on the leaderboard. Good to see the face behind that amazing account growth.
The landerboard tells you the total profit they made since they start trading or is their month trading ? Because the number one trader says he made $89.900 profit.
The best interview regarding Trading, thank you so much!
Great process of entry on the technical side. However, to state he is primarily a fundamental trader and then to offer up the fundamental explanation he did has me questioning - maybe he just got his words confused a few times and had trouble putting it into an explanation. I wish Paul all the best and continues growth and success!
it is funny, that line he use to measure the up wave then drag it to show target is the "rule of thumb" of how people normally use ATR to set target. basically this target is 1ATR of whatever timeframe fit the upwave, really cool knowledge I learn
really nice interview... btw 36:55 "when you have rising interest rates for Europe... that's going to drive the Euro down, and that's going to drive the Yen pair higher" think he meant to say, "drive the Euro UP... that's going to drive the Yen pair higher"
THE LEGEND HIMSELF!
i blew a couple of funded accounts gave up saw this on my friends status came to watch and felt inspired again im going in and i have improved myself i will make it if Paul can do it i can too
Thanks Long awaited.
Congratulations Paul ! 🍾🍾
Wow great interview FTMO 🥂
Amazing job Paul, powerful
what an insightful video. I'm impressed by how Paul went from a dip hole to climb up the mountain. A lot of ppl would quit and probably never touch trading again after massive losses with savings and his spouse's IRA account. That stress is real.... But he didn't give up. That's very inspirational!
Thank you Paul for your well educated video I learned a lot.
Thanks, Paul for your encouragement
Great explaination, gained new knowledge, humble guy, inspires me a lot 👍🏻
America has so many super Traders amazing 👏
Great work, Paul 👍🏼☯️ - absolutely perfect 🙏🏼
This is the man taking my money from the markets 😂
can i try FTMO with futures ?
Congratulations Paul ,absolutely insane Well done 🎊🎉🍾

Kudos to Paul and love the host.....both r divine
Thanks for sharing thsi interview! It is always encouraging
Insane result, congratulations Paul!
His straregy cuts losses short and let's winner run forever
Literally forever. I want to learn that. Takes amazing skill.
👏👏
The key word here is "forever". It takes a lot of mental muscle to do that. especially with those large lot sizes.
Nice one Paul 👍
Really good insights, thx for the interview!
Very inspirational. Well done Paul! You have made me consider fundamentals more now for sure.
I can tell you it's not about fundamental even though they are important too it's mostly our way of thing and mindset that will determine our success
nah, its more on acquiring skill first before honing your mindset
@@trevorosas3365 I'm not saying it's all about fundamentals. Saying it's important to consider when viewing a country's economy

Yes we need both fundamentals and technicals.
@@dantereysabado7483 lol,forex is easy,we've literally seen a thousand videos on UA-cam telling and showing us exactly how to make money with it,the easiest strategy,why people fail is because of the mindset, phycology and patience. That's just it

Bravo Paul 👏🏾
Legend, Hope you have a great one Paul. You the best
Well done 👍👍
When preparation meets opportunity
most of what he said psychology wise is stuff that i have dealt with while failing challenges, i mostly got the direction right but go in big and then panic when the market start looking like it might go against me. i then realised that trying to pass a challenge with one trade doesnt work unless you can afford to lose the challenge.
I’m there with you brotha
It’s definitely possible to pass in one trade but skills and psychology are important to let it play out. You’ve passed two of my challenges before on one trade risking a small amount but I intraday trade and only focus on us30. It took some time to develop this skill and the psychology to let it play out and patience to wait for that trade to come but it’s definitely possible.
@@renebleu8711 it is possible yes, but when you don't have money to fund the next challenge psychology becomes a big hinderance.
@@ToxxicMafia Why take a challenge that you cannot afford to lose in the first place ? Prioritize saving and making more money versus paying out your last bit of money to take a challenge. Props aren’t going anywhere, fx isn’t going anywhere. Doesn’t matter if you took more than one trade when all eggs are in one basket your mental will be bad.
@@renebleu8711 in life there's all sorts of different reasons why people who used to have more money can end up with less money.
41:00 I found to take profit at 100% (double top) or to take almost 75% of my profit at 1.272 level. More often than not, the price pulls back from 1.272 before heading higher to the next fib levels. I urge everyone to check 1.272 level that is not even set by tradingview by default and that's pity avoiding the most critical level
Agreed, once of the most likely reacted to levels
I aspire to be like you paul. Absolute legend.
IS THIS HIS DAILY PROFIT.??? 🙄🙄🙄
It's inspiration listening to Paul, as i start my own journey, this is what being encouraged feels like
