In an exclusive interview with TFT, Muhammad Ashik from Chennai, India, shared the extraordinary story of his journey from being an inexperienced trader to achieving the prestigious status of a King in The Funded Trader (TFT).
Ashik’s foray into trading began in 2020 during the global lockdown. Intrigued by the potential to make money effortlessly, he delved into the world of high-frequency trading. However, like many beginners, his initial two years were marked by losses and challenges.
Undeterred by setbacks, Ashik embarked on a mission to understand what set the profitable 10% of traders apart from the rest. His relentless dedication led him to master the psychological aspects of trading, a key turning point that eventually paved the way for consistent profitability.
While Ashik already possessed strong technical skills, he identified emotional attachment as a major hurdle. Detaching himself from losses became a game-changer. Ashik emphasized the importance of understanding market psychology and breaking free from manipulated perspectives to make informed decisions.
Ashik stressed the need for a structured trading plan, emphasizing its role in preventing reckless trading. However, he acknowledged the importance of flexibility within the plan, especially in scenarios where market manipulation, or “stop hunting,” might occur. This adaptive approach has contributed to his success.
Reflecting on his struggles, Ashik shared a remarkable story from 2021, where an account in a challenge firm presented an unprecedented challenge. The account, facing potential failure, became a pivotal moment in his journey, highlighting the resilience needed in the unpredictable world of forex.
Ashik’s consistent efforts and mastery of both technical and psychological aspects of trading have earned him a coveted spot in TFT’s elite Kings Program. This recognition showcases his exceptional skills and positions him among the top-tier traders in the TFT community.
