Funded Trader Interview #14: Robert

interview-robert

How did you find out about Breakout?
I found Breakout from YouTube, via TraderMayne’s videos. He was going over the monthly trades and payouts from Breakout traders.

In broad terms, what is your trading strategy?
My trading strategy involves buying low and selling high for the most part, markets tend to have many ranges but they do not have many breakouts. I tend to wait and try and position myself as best as possible to go with the trend.

In more detailed terms, what is your favourite setup?
My favorite trading set up probably has to be during the late London or early New York session, there are so many opportunities within these time frames for good trades.

How frequently do you trade?
I trade almost everyday but I am not afraid to sit on my hands if there isn’t a good opportunity.

What is the best piece of trading advice you’ve ever received?
The best piece of trading advice I’ve received would probably have to be from W.D Gann. He talks a lot about health and how important it is to be in great physical and mental health if you want to be a trader and function in high stress environments. I believe it’s crucial to be on a good diet, incorporate daily working outs and healthy habits to become the person capable of achieving your dreams.

What do you find most difficult in trading?
I would say the most difficult part of trading would have to be the emotional aspect of it. Emotions can cloud logic and cause you to go against your plan ultimately hurting you.

How was your experience with the Breakout Evaluation and Breakout Account?
My experience with the Breakout Evaluation was excellent. I took the 1-Step Breakout Evaluation and passed in 1 trade. Doesn’t mean everyone has to do it this way but I saw the opportunity and went after it. The Breakout Account has been wonderful. Every time I’ve requested payouts they’re approved very quickly. This gives you an edge compared to other prop firms who take days to give you a payout. By that time, the moves are done and you’ve missed it. Breakout is on top of their game.

What advice would you give to someone starting their Breakout Evaluation?
There’s no rush, everyone has their own style and pace. Stick to your strategy and make sure to execute when your systems are telling you to. Patience and discipline are a must in trading.

Would you recommend Breakout to other traders?
I would absolutely recommend Breakout to any trader who is looking for an excellent experience. I’ve tried a lot of prop firms, Breakout is hands-down the best of the best.
