Meet Sameer, a trader who turned early setbacks into a solid trading career — all thanks to persistence, smart risk management, and The5%ers.
Sameer’s journey started back in 2019 with binary options. “I actually took a loan just to fund my first trade,” he shared. Unfortunately, he lost it all. But instead of quitting, that loss sparked his curiosity and pushed him to learn more about the markets.
He soon discovered Forex trading and began working his way up while juggling a full-time job. Forex gave him the flexibility he needed, allowing him to trade during his free time. Over time, Sameer shifted completely to Forex, leaving behind binary options and stocks.
It wasn’t easy. Sameer admits to trying multiple trading strategies and facing ups and downs along the way. “I would have some good months, but then face setbacks. My biggest challenge was managing risk properly.”
The breakthrough came in 2022 when Sameer got his first payout from a prop firm. Encouraged, he decided to quit his job and commit fully to trading.
Since then, Sameer has focused on developing his own strategy based on price action, liquidity sweeps, and Fibonacci retracements—steering clear of popular methods like ICT. His disciplined approach to risking only 1% per trade has paid off.
Today, Sameer is trading an $80,000 funded account with The5%ers and has already received over $32,000 in payouts. He recalls the excitement of his very first payout: “It was New Year’s, I was in a car with a friend when the notification popped up. It felt like a dream come true.”
Sameer’s story highlights how traders can turn passion and perseverance into success when they find the right support and stay consistent.
