5. Tell Us More About Your Trading. How Long Have You Been Trading For? What Is Your Trading Style/strategy On The Challenge? What Pair Do You Like To Trade And Why?

I have been trading for about 3 years, I started with forex until I realized that I had a lot of spread and commissions.

I use ICT 2022 as a strategy and the pair I use is the US30 since it moves quite a few pips and has a spread but it does not compare with that of forex, apart from I have no commissions.

I heard from Twitter that I saw some influencers promoting Audacity Capital, I saw that you have verified business and then I opted for your challenge.

7. What Account Size Are You Trading With Right Now? And How Much Did You Receive In The Payout?

I am trading a $15K funded account although now after this payout it will be increased to a $30K funded account I have received between $2K to $3K.

8. What Is It Like Trading On A 240k Account?

It is the same as trading a small account, you only use 1% of the risk, which is greater, so you earn more.

9. Describe Your Trading Journey From The Time You Received Your Trading Account, To Your Trading Progression Until The Time You Received Your Profits. How Was Your Life Or Strategy Different From Before Compared To Now?

When I started with this trading account I already had the strategy that I had back-tested in the markets.

So I just followed what I saw worked.

10. Share Your Experience During The Challenge. What Struggles Did You Face And How Did You Overcome Them? Can You Share A Significant Moment That Helped Shape Your Trading Approach?

I didn't have any problems and the fact that you can operate news is a very good advantage since you may forget the 5 minutes that many companies have and that is why they deny you live acc or payouts.

11. What Did You Like Most About The Program, And How Has It Helped You Develop Your Trading Skills And Overall Perspective On Trading And The Financial Markets?

What I like most is being able to trade news without problems and my trading simply followed what worked for me in the back-test and in other accounts I have.

12. Do You Trade On A Personal Funded Account? If So, Do You Use The Same Strategy And Risk Management On Your Account?

I was trading in a personal account, I made a flip and decided to withdraw it about 8 months ago.

13. How Is Trading With A Prop-funded Account Different From Trading On Your Personal-funded Account? And Would You Recommend Prop Firm Funds To Other Traders?

It is the same as operating with a prop firm, you simply risk 1%, you do not overtrade and that's it.

14. What Advice Would You Give To Other Traders Who Are Considering Taking The Ability Challenge? Any General Trading Advice For People Starting Or Struggling On Their Journey?

They make 1-2 trades a day with good risk management and they can trade news in the ability challenge which can help them if they forget.

15. Do You Have Any Feedback About The Ability Challenge That We Could Improve Or Enhance To Better Serve Aspiring Traders?

It's pretty good, I don't like the consistency rules thing, but I imagine that this way you avoid traders who pass the challenge in a single lucky trade.

16. Do You Have Any Other Things To Say To Our Trading Community?

Your trading community is very good. And there are a lot of good vibes and a lot of people talking.
