    Amazing video mate couldn’t agree with you more. I have just passed 2 funded accounts but it toke me a long time. Trading is about being discipline and patience

      Thanks for saying that mate, yes exactly it’s not about passing it in the quickest time possible but executing your plan when it provides an edge, enduring the drawdown and coming out the other side. I appreciate the support on the video and channel mate

    I stuck to my plan regardless of if the trade was a win or loss because I had data on my trade results for a long term. I am a profitable trader and I trust my strategy (ICT 2022 mentorship) . Now, I'm recently funded after the time and hard work I've put in. Good luck traders.

    Took me 3 months to pass my first FTMO challenge. On phase 2 now. Prop firms are also guilty for starting out with placing a 30 day time limit on their challenges. They made 10% appear standard which could reallly put a potential good trader with a great career off.

    Hi fella, I came across your channel months back and I left a comment saying I wanna stick around for your journey, truth be told, I had a few issues over the months and have not been able to check out YT as much, neither trade as much, I do plan to check your older videos, but honestly, not to sound funny, could you please summarise how you typically trade? Are you more of a high time frame trader or lower time frames? What sort of confluences or things are you looking out for?

    • @JShemwell
      @JShemwell  5 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for the support mate I appreciate it, and I am a hybrid day trader so will hold trades minimum a few hours maximum a few days and typically look for pullback moves and trend continuation moves on the daily. I then look to scale into the lower timeframes like hourly for overall intra day trend and look to enter.

    @michal4220 3 місяці тому

    Good and honest advice, top investors make around 5% monthly. So it is realistic to set your lower and acctualy be profitable rather than make 10% in a week and then end up overall with 4 failed challenges at the end of the month. (Also having 2% monthly return beats snp500 by twice)

    lol this is bad advice. why would you freaking take 2-3 months to pass it when you can pass it within 2 weeks by being aggressive and just recover your failed challenges in one payout? And once youre funded risk small and just go for 1-2% per month? . if your strategy/psychology doesn't allow you to pass at least 2 of 5 challenges on aggressive mode you're not ready to trade.
