✅ FundingPips Trader Who Earned $72,692 in Rewards After 5 Years of Failing. Here’s How He Did It!

Summary

Edward, a trader from Indonesia, says he has received more than $72,000 in total rewards through Funding Pips. He began trading around 2019, initially exploring US stocks, options, futures, and binary options before moving into forex. He also tried trading robots and signals, which he says did not work for him.

After leaving an IT job abroad in 2022, Edward traded manually full-time but struggled to achieve consistent profitability. He says he went roughly two years without a payout before eventually receiving rewards.

Trading Approach and Risk Management

• Main market: Gold, traded through forex/CFDs. Edward says he chose forex partly because he found options mechanics, such as gamma, complicated.
• Setup: He marks key price levels and observes how gold behaves as it approaches them. As an example, he mentions levels spaced by $25, such as 4,225 and 4,250.
• Execution: He says he reacts to price action rather than predicting it. He does not use indicators or strategies such as ICT or SMC.
• Stops and exits: For gold, he says he may use a 100-pip stop loss. At around 50 pips in profit, he moves the stop to break-even. He says he does not set a take-profit target; the interview does not explain his exit rules further.
• Position sizing: For a $100,000 account, he describes trading one or two lots and risking about 1%. He also says he prefers risking 1–2% and rejects risking 4.5% against a stated 5% daily loss limit.
• Trading style and schedule: He identifies as a scalper and prefers the London session. He says he watches the market frequently because he cannot predict when an opportunity will appear.

Psychology and Takeaways

Edward says managing emotions was harder than learning a strategy. He credits journaling, trading in a quiet place, keeping a regular daily routine, and repeatedly trying to improve with helping him build discipline.

His advice is to be prepared for losses and avoid risking too much. He also stresses persistence, while acknowledging that his own path included a long period without payouts.
