Funded Trader Interview #4: traderzid

How did you find out about Breakout?
Through Trader Mayne’s socials.

Can you briefly describe your trading strategy?
I trade pretty similar to that guy with a huge neck, considering I learned how to trade using his YouTube videos. My trading is pretty simple, I draw ranges and big boxes on the high time frame, zoom in on the lower time frames, and just trade support and resistance following whatever the trend is.

How was your experience with the evaluation process and trading on the Breakout account?
Probably the best I’ve had so far with any firm. I’ve tried a lot of firms (both crypto and forex) and have had to deal with a lot of annoying rules that I don’t consider trader friendly. Passed my 1-step evaluation in 24 hours!

Are you day trading or swing trading?
Recently I’ve only been day trading, but this comes with the market conditions at the time and I try to adapt to whichever I see fit.

Do you have any favorite coins to trade?
My top three will always be BTC, ETH and SOL.
Outside of it I’d probably say BONK (Abe please list it).

What was the hardest obstacle in your trading journey you had to overcome?
I genuinely believe that if I was a robot I would be so much more profitable than I am right now. I think the biggest problem I’ve faced along with a lot of other traders is dealing with emotions while trading. The huge PNL swings from being up 10R on a position to being in heavy drawdown are definitely difficult still at times. I wouldn’t say I don’t get emotional myself anymore, but I’ve been able to mitigate it so far by positioning myself appropriately, and just setting a good routine in order to not have your whole day be in front of a screen staring at charts.

Are you trading full-time?
I am a full-time student and a part-time trader. Trading has put me through college and is setting me up pretty decently for life after it.

What does your trading day look like?
I wake up early in the morning and either go for a jog or a surf, make myself some brunch, maybe go to the gym, bring out the watchlist and find the best setups to enter during the NY session. A lot of Netflix in between all of that.

Would you recommend Breakout to other traders?
I’d recommend you to save yourself a lot of headaches and just get an account at Breakout. See you in the orderbooks!
