- DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE CHALLENGES. 90% OF PEOPLE FAIL. TRADE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
In this new video series, I am taking the FTMO $200,000 Challenge, where I will grow a demo account 10% in 1 month in order to receive a funded account of $200,000. I will show all of my trades live, scalping the S&P500 each week until the challenge is complete.

I'd advise newbie traders to take this video seriously, trading assets online can be complex and this video did a good job of shedding some light on the path to mastery. However, if unable to trade on your own due to time constraints or sheer inability, there's no better way to go about it than seeking a financial professional.
True, I've learnt quite a lot from this channel. On the other hand for the majority of newcomers, pride or overzealousness cloud their judgment. Only a select few will adopt the prudent course of seeking help from experts, and undoubtedly go on to become successful themselves.
@@ansel.thegreat Do you have any recommendations? I'm just getting started and would really appreciate some help. Literally watched my older brother blow three of his accounts trading on his own, don't want to make the same mistakes he did.
@@Sahib__Singh. I'm sorry your brother had to go through that. That's the harsh reality for the majority of people starting out in trading. I'm only able to speak for my very own trader Callum Garfield. I was able to get out of bad debt and double my yearly income within 2 years of having him trade for me. I remember my very first payout of $21k like it was yesterday.
Totally agree with your comment here Sigrud.
Even though I didn't begin investing until I was in my 40s, I was able to secure enough money for both my wife and I to retire.
Without the help of a financial advisor, this would not have been possible>
@@ansel.thegreat I appreciate your response.
How can I get in touch with him?
What does he charge?
You remind me of myself when I was new to the market. Couple of tips for you: 1. Find a better strategy, your strategy is practically gambling and archaic and it's way easy for the algos to "defeat" you. I saw many of your trades even from the last videos where the market was setting a trap and you fell for it easily. Learn about liquidity concepts, it'll make you see the market in a completely different way. 2. Improve you risk management. Consider lowering your risk by 50% everytime you're down 2-5% to make "liquidation" impossible. You literally had more than a month to make your losses back. It may seem slow and hard but remember, your primary goal in trading is to protect the capital. If you're able to do that then way way better than 90% of the traders. Winning streaks do come, you just need to wait patiently. Good luck, I'm rooting for you.
Really admire your willingness to share what trading is actually like at times. Very big of you to share your journey, not many have the courage to do so! All the best, and I am really hoping to see you sharing more videos in the future bud! 👍
bro, i really like your attitude, you are not thinking like "oh my god, price wicked my sl and went up" or "damn i took the profits early and price went up more than 1000 points" or something like that.
Be careful when trading using the assistant. Since it makes it way easier to enter positions with tighter SL, it might also cause you to be a lot more trigger happy and lose more often.
This 🙌
That's not down to TA, that's down to your trading plan
I have an assistant also but it doesn’t drag up those big boxes… I enter using the pad in the top left and it automatically sets my sl tp.. I then tighten them up or loosen them Accordingly.
What on earth are You doing? You are straight up just gambling. There is no reasoning behind Your trades at all You are just basically guessing to buy or sell. You can't just trade off of an EMA and expect to last in this game. 🤯🤯🤯 cant believe what I've just watched.
Please Leo, listen to this wise man. The people giving you "encouraging" messages are actually doing you a disservice.
yup
@@fabiohenrique9499 I used to try to trade like this when I first started trading and quickly realised this will never work. You can get lucky little streaks but in the long run You will blow every account.
@@Samw8484 In all fairness, I think we all started like that, lol
@@fabiohenrique9499 Yeah thinking it was really that easy to just trade on pullbacks to the moving averages ha! It's madness. I don't even use indicators at all now.
I love that phrase, “we earn or we learn”. Thank you for posting this transparent video! I love/appreciate this series and your openness to letting us watch/learn from it. Looking forward to your future videos 🙏
Don't worry about failure bro. I myself have failed a couple of times. It's a learning process
Great video. Kudos for showing the reality of trying to make a living of this. You take the loss very well psychologically. You are an inspiration for people like me, so don't give up!
The best live ftmo content on TH-cam by far!!
Salute for your very honest video brother .
This is exactly you translated trading..
May God give you success soon.
It's part of the game
Bro ... Knw the feeling! Good shit! Reflect and Atack again Ive failed over 10 200k challenges
Sorry you didn't make it, but props for putting the videos out there, respect! Either way I enjoyed this series, hope you'll be back soon.
We appreciate the honesty and transparency
In my opinion, I find that you're buying high and selling low. Sometimes getting in too late or getting out too early. Love your content. Keep it up!
Awesome vidoes man, And with a winning attidude like you have, you are gonna be a killer trader
There was a trader that failed over 20 challenges before getting funded.
Scalping is so difficult. Try higher time frames to see how it works for you. You can catch way bigger moves, and then you end up taking 1 maybe 3 trades at most a day. Thank you for sharing, and best of luck on the next one!
I really admire you for keeping it real. This is just the beginning bro. I know in the end, you’re gonna make it big.
Respect for the transparency💯Keep striving to improve
It’s okay bro! But you have gathered an audience within this type of content champ. All the best my brother.
Good luck with the next journey, u'll make it ✌️❤️
I love you rawness and openness. It's refreshing, many will watch these videos and feel like they are looking in a mirror. So, how you proceed after this and the lessons you learn will be important for many of your viewers. Respect.
Wow amazing content. Best trading series I've watched on YT. Thank you for sharing your journey.
One thing I have learnt from you is sticking to your guns and risk management. Improve on your strategy, that's my advice...
Big ups bro... the come back is always to the upside from here! Thank you for sharing bro!!! 💯💯💯💯
thanks for bei so transparent and showing your trades. please focus on larger timeframe and trade entry, stop loss and your strategy. at one point I have realized, you are just guessing but no clear strategy and bargaining with the market. remember,, take whatever you can from the market. wishing you all the best. and create more video . we love it.
I have been watching you for sometimes, and what i notice you buy in premiere and you sell in discount which insane, i think you need to consider the bigger picture . #Blessyou
I just watched this whole series bro and all I can say is you deviated from your winning strategy from phase one, I’ve had this downward spiral as well for that exact reason. Bless up and stay strong
Thank you so much for sharing your journey every step of the way and I learned a lot from you. Please come back soon with a fresh mind. You got this!!! It's these learning lessons make you a great trader in the future!
I love each and every episode of the series. I cannot wait for more episodes
Regarding "Trade Assistant", did you use Demo or Paid version on the challenge?
Asking this because the challenge is using Demo account, not live.
Thanks!
Bro just stick to one trade a day there's plenty of time to pass you only need 5% for an extension. You just need to work on minimising your exposure to the market and you got this!
Hey bro I watched the whole series, I noticed that you only do a 1 to 1 risk to reward, I learned to be super patient with your setup and go for a 1 to 4 risk to reward ratio, that way if you take a loss your still up 3%.
and if you take 5 loses you'll be down 1%
your comment tells him nothing
🤣
I’ve watched the series and noticed that there some trades where if you moved your stop to take profit and let run you could have made way more. Like the first winner in this video.
Not really a consistent trader myself but having gone through your videos through this challenge and the options before, I find that you like to trade breakouts but SPY unlike stocks fails to breakout more often than not so it might make sense to consider a strategy that works well in ranges. That said, I’m appreciative of your forthrightness by showing your successes as well as failures,and wish you the best of luck with the next challenge, I hope to do a 10K challenge myself next month in March.
I really enjoy your videos, I was waiting Saturday morning to see it. As all of us who trade knows, this is how trading goes sometimes, hope to see you rebound soon and post more videos. Good luck 🤞
Don't ever give up man! Keep pushing. Never a loss always a lesson! Thanks for sharing these videos with us!
Loved the series bro!! inspired me to start my own.
You'll be back in no time and im looking forward to it!
Thanks for being honest and brave to put yourself out there. All the best.
Appreciate the transparency. The fact that you've journaled all your trades separates you from others. I'm sure you'll get that $200k soon!
If he keeps trading like this he will have no chance of lasting in this game. It's straight up gambling the way he is trading.
Hey Leo I have been enjoying following along and seeing you try this. The biggest thing I noticed when you were trading is that when you started the challenge you were SUPER picky about the trades and waited properly for the pull backs to the MA and just took a lot less trades. When you started the verification the initial losses caused you to trade hastier or more idk if that makes sense. If you binge all your videos I'm sure you'll see what I'm talking about. I hope this could probably help you to pass the next one and I'll be rooting for you when you do.
Loved the series. Hope you bounce back and do another!!
I enjoyed this series, I hope you get another one.
I traded like u 2years ago, does work short time sometimes but has a high failure rate and wont work longterm.
hats off for the transparency, everyone who's willing to take a funding challenge should be aware that probably even the best trader in the world won't be able to pass 100% of the time, the goal is to win overall on the long run PS: I know it must have sucked even more because you already passed the challenge and just needed that 5% verification..I feel ya man
Hey I subscribed your channel, I love this series. Just to educate myself from your experience. So keep your spirit
Love to hear what you identify and change when you come back, see if we can relate anything to our trading too! Cant wait for the next one.
Much love brother .
Tq for the great journey❤
Idk bro with 1:1 RR you got to be really accurate. First trade was solid. Daily uptrend and held previous days high ~4150spx to me that means targetting 4200. You could have easily got 30 points on that.
damn i was really rooting for this guy to pass
You'll get there bro 🤝🏾 documenting a similar journey on my TH-cam channel with ICT concepts. Good luck 🎈
Hey I noticed you're entering longs at the wrong time. You wait for too much confirmation and by that time the trade is missed(usually). I like to enter half on conviction and half on confirmation if the trade is worth it. You should draw some trendlines and have set boundaries like support or resistance to use as "confirmation" breaks. And have your conviction be either buying into the selling. Or selling into the buying.

Cheers man
Don’t change your strat stay focused I’ve noticed a big difference you trading when you were profitable b
Tu when you weren’t it was pretty bad
whats'up Leo, i was expecting a new video this week going over the results and what you've learned
Hard luck mate, keep grinding. You'll get there
Well done for documenting and being open with your trading journey brother. You still have a lot to learn as you are trading like a retail trader. The best and only place to learn is from ICT for free on youtube. Good luck and see you on the other side
Few pointers, if you’re trading s&p500, never hurts to include a footprint (of course once / if understood) as it can be a great confluence. Second pointer, you seem to control emotions pretty good but it’s never a good idea to switch up sizes (due to OR until you win some trades) it does a lot more pnl damage than you’d think - if you don’t already, journal and you’ll see
Keep it up though, good content!
Ohh wow, I was not expecting this outcome, you were doing so great at the challenge. Heey, gotta tell you, thanks to you I did learn a lot from you, thanks for your efforts on putting all this together. Best wishes next time, you almost got it, you definitely will make it next time
This is Gold not many traders show the true story thanks for this ❤️
Nice content Leo, appreciated.Your strategy is all time winning strategy. Please work on your timing for good entry. When watching you trade I think 5mins is more clearer than 1 min.I can't wait to see your next video.
I use the same trade assistant but on MT4. You can go in the settings and change the “magnet” strength so you can move the buy and sell lines around on your screen and it will still follow price
This might be crazy but every week I would look forward to you dropping the funded series video, please retry bro💔
hmm... is there a strategy behind it? it looked like gambling kind of but respect for recording yourself and doing it!
Just watched all 7, you smashed that initial stage no problem. Thanks Leo. Hoi on that last day that 5min… nasty double top.
Love your channel, man. Keep grinding
with the way you're scalping you're entering too late with too small of a stop loss. either enter earlier anticipating the move or have a mental stop loss so you dont get taken out on pullback.
Amazing attitude. You're gonna kill it next time.
Keep working at it, thanks for sharing.
It takes courage to post your losses. Good shit. I try to post all of my losses on TH-cam as well
Leo, please brother do yourself a service you won't regret and study price action from ICT. There's a model he teaches for every style and personality.
Do proper analysis from your 5min Tf, you were only focusing on the 1min TF and it contains so much noise, I was seeing a Double Top formation on your 5min TF and shouting SELL! SELL!! but you kept on buying.
Good luck bro, We earn or learn 💪
I’m just trying to figure out your strategy or do you even have one 🤷♂️ I’ll keep tuning in to find out tho….
But thank you leo. Your videos should played on netflix one day 😁
if you want the same assistant in physics, buy a magic key, so you don't have it in the middle of the screen :)
hey Leo, I hope you're fine. really enjoyed the series. just an advice: I think you used a very tight stop, while the premise can be correct (let's say you are bullish) the probability is lower by using too tight stops. so maybe you can think more about that. for example Stop below the major Lows, or at least below 1m signal bar (not the middle of nowhere like 3:07) although it's hard to make a comeback when in 8% drawdown already, so all fine. you'll pass next time for sure ♥
you should buy low and sell high. 👍
But great series...i loved it, got me excited to do the ftmo challenge.
Look forward to your comeback bro! Just a recommendation, give urself a little more room on ur SL, especially trading a pair like Nas. Also maybe checkout some videos on market structure. See you when you return! Much love🙏🏽💙
You will come back stronger💪
Keep up with sharing.....love your videos.....but i trade totally other style....but still enjoying your videos, i hope you find your edge again.....grz from Belgium
Why on WhatsApp, i think you should start a telegram group
Ah you dont know what you are doing :/ Its clicking without any plan and analysis, but it is very good that you stay positive. I hope you pass the next one :)
Really enjoyed ur journey. You are a good guy and i wish you all the best :)
Hey bro really loved this series! So unlucky hope u come back stronger keep learning and I know next time u will kill it!!!🔥💯
Still waiting for next series🔥🔥🔥 good luck bro
Dam man I really thought you were going to make a come back this week. Take time to reflect and come back stronger!👊🏾
bros gambling at this point
Failing is part & parcel of the eventual success mate. Keep pushing!
Why don't you try to trade trendline breakout and also the breakout of 50 EMA.
One question to ask yourself is the way you’re trading sustainable on a $1 mil account??? If not it then it’s time to tighten up on your rules and refocus. I admire you being so transparent on your journey though! Keep pushing!
Loved it brother.
I understand the pressure and time limits.
I believe your SL is always so small , you can consider changing the TF from 1min to 3min .
that’s literally not it, he doesn’t have an edge
Good series 👍 its been 7 months, Could you make another series? ill look forward to it
Nice series I watched all of them.
How long are you Trading? I mean how much experience do you have?
You should try trading on a higher time frame and catching bigger moves I feel it’s very difficult to predict which way the market is move on a 1 to 5 minute time scale
Please keep going with these vids
Watch those lower highs and lower lows, and the extension off your 5 min ema. First half hour or so after open the distance between the ema doesn’t matter as much. But keep your head up man. We have all been through this. Also as you can see it was a choppy morning. If the push doesn’t hold nor the fail holds, it’s going to be choppy. Watch for that also
loved the series!
Keep it up bro.
you're reading the market right, the issue is that you're over leveraging your trades. i used to have that problem and have found much better results taking small bites at a time and adding to my winners. trading micros though, not sure if they offer something similar in those forex exchanges
Props on the transparency. I’d recommend you refine your edge. Your stop placements on some trades weren’t covering lows which didn’t give price the proper space to move in your favor
