Speaker: David
Why did you choose TradeDay over other funded trading challenges?
David: So I chose TradeDay because even though they require 10 trading days, psychologically, it helps because, you know, you're not gonna get through this in a day or two or, or pass within a few days. So psychologically, it mentally prepared me to just take base hits every single day, not try to size up, not try to rush because I know I'm still going to need to be trading for 10 days anyway.
How has TradeDay helped you in your journey to becoming funded with them?
David: TradeDay has really helped me in my consistency in my discipline because with their prop firm, you have to trade for 10 days and I've traded with other prop firms where you can pass the evaluations in a day or two, whatever the case is. And psychologically, that really hurts you because then you want to get funded as quick as possible. You size up, you fomo, you end up blowing accounts and really by trying to get funded as quick as possible, it actually ends up taking more time. So that's what I really liked about TradeDay that although yes, they require 10 days, they require the profit objectives and all these other objectives and rules psychologically, it helps me because I know I'm not going to do this in a day. I'm not going to do this in two days. So I, that's where I sort of just give up, not in training, but like I give up and I just stick with the process and I don't deviate from my process. So if I'm gonna, if I'm gonna be in this for 10 trading days, then I may as well just take base hits, not size up, not FOMO.
As a funded Tradeday trader, could you describe your experience with the TradeDay team?
David: My experience with the TradeDay team. I'm new to Trade Day so I haven't had much experience, but from what I can, what I have observed so far is they, they take this seriously, they take their traders seriously, they take those who are being evaluated seriously and they even say that it, you know, with the rules and the objectives and everything is that they, they want to help real traders be able to become better and they want to back consistent traders that are actually putting in the time and putting in the work and I enjoy that. I really appreciate that they do that because a lot of prop firms don't do that. We've heard stories where prop firms are just in it for the money and all this case. But with TradeDay it's different, I really do feel like they, they put these things in place so that people can be profitable so that people can work on themselves and become better traders. And so so far I've had a really good experience with them. It's been different which I do appreciate. I appreciate the, you know, not having to get funded in like a day or two or whatnot. It's really helped me psychologically and that's something I appreciate about TradeDay
