The5%ers recently spotlighted one of its rising talents, Ostap, who has made remarkable progress on his trading journey. As a $100K funded trader under The5%ers’ High-Stakes program, Ostap has already been paid three times and successfully withdrawn a total of $10,965 in profits. Now, he is set to scale his account to $125K by reaching the next milestone—a 10% growth target.
Moreover, with just 1.5 years of trading experience, Ostap has carved a niche for himself by specializing in smart money concepts (SMC). Alongside trading, he balances his time between the gym and working as a teacher.
So, in an exclusive interview with The5%ers, Ostap shared insights into his trading approach and growth. Also, he maintains a disciplined risk management strategy by risking only 1% per trade and focuses on liquidity sweeps and order flow. Using fair value gaps (FVG) on the 1-hour and 15-minute charts and entering on the 5-minute chart, he tailors his strategy for precision and consistency.
One of his biggest challenges was maintaining emotional discipline. “Emotions often got the best of me,” he admitted. However, through self-awareness and strict trading rules—such as limiting trades to two per day—he has built greater consistency and resilience.
Ostap credits the turning point in his career to adopting the SMC approach after earlier strategies failed to deliver results. His mental strength stems from personal development, especially tracking his emotional state post-trade and learning when to take a break.
So, for those new to The5%ers, Ostap offers sound advice: “Take your time with each stage. There’s no need to rush—work at your own pace.”
So, as he eyes his next goal of scaling to a $125K account, Ostap’s journey stands as a testament to the power of strategy, discipline, and patience in achieving trading success.
