How did you find out about Breakout?
I came across the platform through following Mayne, Abetrade, and Cred. I’ve been following them since around 2020, and a friend of mine also suggested I check it out. Given my interest in trading with funding firms, I decided to explore it further. The conditions they offered looked quite appealing.

In broad terms, what is your trading strategy?
I’ve been working on a specific trading system for a few years now, refining it bit by bit every year. Though I doubt I’ll ever land on a “final” version, my strategy mainly revolves around market structure. I try to counter-trade where I think resting orders might be sitting, which gives me an idea of the market’s direction. I use SMA bands (20, 200, and 600), RSI, trend lines, and volume to provide context. My main focus is the 5-minute timeframe, but I also check the 4-hour for a more macro view. I stick to a “one-trick pony” approach, only trading one asset at a time.

In more detailed terms, what is your favourite setup?
The setups I like the most are supports or resistances that get tested repeatedly without breaking. I look for points where no wicks or candle bodies have triggered sell orders either below or above, so I enter at concrete hours of the day trying to catch the liquidation of these orders.

How frequently do you trade?
My plan is to aim for two trades a day, but it can scale to three, four, or even five depending on market conditions. I set a personal daily max loss and do my best to stick to it.

What is the best piece of trading advice you’ve ever received?
In short, I believe a trader is basically the sum of all the advice they take and how they apply it to become a better trader. I can’t point to one specific piece of advice as “the most important,” but a key one would be to trade in a way that aligns with your personality. I’ve heard this from many traders over the years, and while it’s a common idea, I find it fundamental: build your trading system around who you are.

What do you find most difficult in trading?
Overall, trading is incredibly challenging, a job that demands you be at the elite level. For me, the toughest part is maintaining a healthy, strong, and productive mindset every single day, week, month, and year. The ability to reset when needed before things spiral out of control is, by far, the hardest challenge.

How was your experience with the Breakout Evaluation and Breakout Account?
The first thing I’d highlight about the platform is its simplicity (I prefer things minimalistic).

As for the trading rules, I think they’re fair. If you focus on the positive, they can help you grow as a trader by encouraging you to implement risk control mechanisms.

What advice would you give to someone starting their Breakout Evaluation?
I’d suggest setting up a plan if you don’t have one already and then sticking to it, hitting all the milestones and processes you’ve established.

Would you recommend Breakout to other traders?
Yes, I would recommend it. I believe it’s a reliable and committed platform for traders.
