In an exclusive interview with The5%ers, Daniel, a 26-year-old trader from Jalisco, Mexico, shared his journey to success with the prop firm. Since starting his trading career in 2018, Daniel has gone on to scale his account three times, withdrawing over $33,957 in profits, and has been paid six times by the firm. His next goal? To hit a 10% profit and elevate his High-Stakes account to $200,000.
A business administration graduate, Daniel took his first steps into the trading world seven years ago. His approach is that of a swing trader, blending technical analysis, particularly key support and resistance levels, with fundamental data. “When both align, it gives me confidence, which leads to higher chances of success,” he explained.
Like many traders, Daniel struggled with overtrading, often trying to recover losses. However, he learned that patience is crucial. “Less is more,” Daniel shared, reflecting on how reducing impulsive trading and sticking to his strategy not only improved his results but also reduced stress, helping him maintain a healthier work-life balance.
Passing The5ers’ evaluation was a pivotal moment in Daniel’s trading career. His success, he believes, stems from consistent risk management and the discipline to follow his trading plan. “Trading with The5ers offers more than just capital. The leverage, shared risk, and professional growth opportunities make a big difference compared to trading on your own,” he said.
For those just starting with The5ers, Daniel’s advice is straightforward: “Build a solid trading plan and stick to it. Your plan should guide all your decisions—what to trade and how to trade.” His experience highlights the importance of discipline, risk management, and patience in achieving sustained success in the world of trading.
