How to Get Funded and Become a Forex Prop Trader in 2025?How to Get Funded and Become a Forex Prop Trader in 2025: A Step-by-Step Action Plan With prop trading firms offering funding to skilled traders, 2025 presents an excellent opportunity to trade with significant capital while limiting your personal risk. Here’s a detailed roadmap to getting funded and becoming a successful prop trader in the forex market. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 1: Build a Profitable Trading Strategy Before applying to a prop firm, you need a tested and profitable strategy that aligns with prop firm risk rules. Here’s what to focus on: ✅ Choose a Trading Style • Scalping – Quick, small trades (requires low spreads and fast execution). • Day Trading – Intraday trades with clear setups (most prop firms allow). • Swing Trading – Holding trades for days/weeks (lower stress, fits many prop firm rules). • Algorithmic Trading – Using bots or EAs (some firms allow automation). ✅ Develop a High-Probability Edge • Top-Down Technical Analysis (Identify trends using multiple timeframes). • Price Action & Market Structure (Support/resistance, breakouts, trendlines). • Risk-Reward Ratios (Aim for at least 1:2 RR on trades). • News & Fundamentals (FOMC, NFP, CPI, interest rate decisions). ✅ Backtest & Optimize Your Strategy • Use Forex Tester 5 or TradingView’s replay mode to test past market conditions. • Run at least 100-200 trades in a demo account. • Maintain a win rate above 50% with an R:R of 1:2 or higher. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 2: Master Risk & Money Management Most prop firms fail traders due to poor risk management. Here’s how to avoid that: ✅ Follow Strict Drawdown Rules • Daily Drawdown: Most firms allow 5% max daily loss. • Overall Drawdown: 8-10% max loss before account termination. • Solution: Risk only 0.5% - 1% per trade. ✅ Position Sizing • Lot Size Calculator: Always use a calculator to match risk per trade. • Adjust for Volatility: Trade smaller lots on high-impact news days. ✅ Risk-Adjusted Growth • Withdraw profits monthly to secure earnings. • Scale up gradually instead of over-leveraging. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 3: Get Funded by a Prop Firm 🚀 Top Prop Firms in 2025 for Forex Traders • FTMO – Up to $400,000 funding, 90% profit share. • My Forex Funds (MFF) – Up to $600,000 funding, 85% profit split. • The Funded Trader – 80-90% profit split, offers aggressive scaling. • Fidelcrest – Allows scalping, news trading, and EAs. • E8 Funding – Low drawdown rules, 80% split. 📈 How to Pass a Prop Firm Challenge Most firms require a two-phase evaluation: 1. Phase 1: Profit target (8-10%) within 30 days without exceeding the daily/overall drawdown. 2. Phase 2: Lower profit target (4-5%) within 60 days with the same risk rules. 3. Funded Stage: Trade firm capital with a profit split (usually 75-90% to the trader). 🛠️ Pro Tips to Pass a Prop Firm Challenge ✅ Risk only 0.5% per trade (low risk = higher success rate). ✅ Trade high-probability setups only (2-3 trades per day max). ✅ Avoid trading the first & last 15 minutes of sessions (high spreads). ✅ Use a prop firm challenge simulator before applying. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 4: Optimize & Scale Your Trading Career 🔹 Get Multiple Funded Accounts • Many firms allow traders to manage multiple accounts. • Use copy trading software (e.g., Trade Copier, FXBlue) to replicate trades across accounts. • Some firms have a combined max funding of over $2 million. 🔹 Transition to a Full-Time Forex Trader 1. Withdraw Profits Monthly – Secure earnings and reinvest. 2. Diversify Income Streams – Consider trading signals, coaching, or selling EAs. 3. Trade with Institutional Mindset – Focus on consistency over big wins. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 5: Use Trading Tools & AI Bots for an Edge 🔹 Best Forex Trading Tools in 2025 📊 TradingView & MT5 – Best for charting & analysis. 📉 AutoRisk Calculator – Automates lot sizing based on risk %. 🤖 AI & Algo Bots – AI-powered news sentiment analysis & high-frequency trading. 📅 Forex Factory & Myfxbook – Economic calendar & trade tracking. ________________________________________ 📌 Step 6: Stay Ahead in the Forex Market 🚀 Follow Pro Traders – Learn from institutions & hedge funds. 📊 Analyze Market Cycles – 2025 will be affected by interest rates & global policies. 📉 Avoid Overtrading – Focus on quality over quantity. 📈 Invest in Continuous Learning – Join trading communities & courses. ________________________________________ 🎯 Final Thoughts: The Fastest Way to Become a Forex Prop Trader in 2025 ✅ Develop a tested, profitable strategy. ✅ Master risk & money management. ✅ Apply to top prop firms & pass the evaluation. ✅ Scale with multiple funded accounts. ✅ Stay disciplined, patient, and focused on long-term success.

Which way will the Eur/USD pair go?EUR/USD Market Update: 🔆The US dollar continued to strengthen amid ongoing developments in President Trump’s tariff policies. While the widely debated 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports have been postponed, the 10% tariffs on Chinese goods remain unchanged. The lack of clarity and uncertainty from the White House initially led investors to unwind their long positions in the dollar early last week. 🔆However, the greenback regained momentum over the weekend after President Trump announced plans to introduce a new 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports into the US, in addition to the current tariffs on these metals. 🔆Investors are now closely watching Fed Chair Powell’s speech today. In the past, the Fed has maintained a hawkish stance amid concerns over Trump’s trade and fiscal policies. Meanwhile, the ECB recently cut interest rates by 25 basis points in an effort to address slowing economic growth and persistent inflation above its 2% target. Personal Insight: 🔆The euro faces significant headwinds. A robust US dollar, diverging monetary policies between the Fed and the ECB, and internal challenges within the eurozone—such as Germany’s economic slowdown—could all put downward pressure on the single currency. While short-term rebounds are possible, the euro’s long-term trajectory remains uncertain, especially as global trade tensions, including those involving the EU, continue to unfold. Technical Outlook: 🔆Analysis based on the RSI (4H) indicator, Fibonacci confluence trendlines, and key resistance-support levels. Plan: 🔆 Price Zone Setup: 👉Buy EUR/USD 1.0330 -1.0345 ❌SL: 1.0400 | ✅TP: 1.0300 – 1.026 – 1.021

EURUSD 9/02/25Another week is her and we are back with our Sunday markups to start the week off with a clear idea of what we want to see and what we want to trade, as you can see our Orion system is telling us price is most likely running bullish, unless Orion changes we will follow the bias! now of course we know that the big money player are driving the price higher but we have a clear area that we want price to reach which will allow us to follow these big movers, these areas are below price which mean we have to have a counter bias move to be able to get into that long shift. so always keep in mind for us to follow long we must first have shorts in play, big money cant get entries without causing a counter move first. our main interest is for the high volume lows that are narked in gold dotted lines to be ran and then the highs marked above to be taken out, this would in turn give us our long move that is currently in our bias. Trade safe, follow your risk profile and trade your rules.

EURUSD 10 February 2025 TRADE IDEAThe EUR/USD pair remains in a long-term downtrend, as indicated by the descending trendlines and the formation of lower highs and lower lows. Recent price action shows a rejection from the 1.0400 - 1.0514 supply zone, suggesting strong bearish momentum. Price is likely to target the next demand zone around 1.0000 - 0.9935, as order flow and smart money concepts (SMC) indicate further downside. A break of structure (BOS) confirms continued bearish intent, while liquidity grabs and fair value gaps (FVGs) suggest price may seek equilibrium near 0.9800 - 0.9400 in the longer term. Fundamentally, the U.S. dollar remains strong due to the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance, resilient labor market data, and persistent inflation, while the Eurozone faces economic struggles, with the ECB being less aggressive on rate hikes due to slowing growth. Geopolitical tensions, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and Middle East conflicts, add to global risk-off sentiment, further strengthening USD as a safe-haven asset. If price breaks below 1.0000, further declines toward 0.9935 - 0.9800 are expected, while a sustained break above 1.0514 would challenge the bearish outlook.

EUR.USD Longs from 1.02600My EU long idea is based on the strong bullish pressure seen after price filled last week’s gap. I’ll be looking for buying opportunities once price mitigates my 11-hour demand zone near the bottom. However, I’ll remain cautious since this area has already been mitigated in last week’s forecast. If price pushes higher instead, I expect it to mitigate the 6-hour supply zone, which originated from a Break of Structure (BOS) and was reinforced by a Change of Character (CHOCH). From there, potential short opportunities could arise around 1.03800 for a move back down. Confluences for EU Buys: - EU has been very bullish, making this a pro-trend setup. - The market structure remains strong, forming higher highs and higher lows. - There is significant liquidity to the upside along with well-defined supply zones. - The clean 11-hour demand zone previously caused an impulsive move, making it a strong area of interest. Note: If price breaks below the 11-hour demand zone, I expect EU to turn bearish for a short period. Have a great trading week!

EUR downtrend under pressureEUR/USD is currently showing a volatile downward trend, with prices hitting key support and resistance areas many times, and no significant directional breakthrough has occurred. From the overall trend, prices have been falling since the high of 1.05230, breaking through multiple key support levels, and are currently hovering around 1.03217, showing weak characteristics. From the perspective of the trend line, the obvious downward trend line suppression has exerted continuous pressure on prices, and the current price has failed to break through the resistance point of 1.03721 above. Resistance level: In the short term, 1.03721 is the current important resistance level, and prices need to break through this position to further open upside space. If this point is stable, it may test the higher 1.04200 area. Support level: The key support level below is around 1.02299, which is the previous low and an area where bulls may exert their strength. If this support is broken, the downward space will be further opened, possibly pointing to 1.01500. Pullback test: The current exchange rate may rebound and test the 1.03721 line. If it fails to break through this resistance, it may be blocked and fall back, continuing the downward trend. Continuation of decline: If the price falls directly and falls below the 1.03000 area, it will confirm the dominance of shorts, and the target is 1.02299 or even lower. Operation suggestions: If the price touches the 1.03721 resistance level and there are obvious signs of pressure, you can try short-term short orders, with the target below 1.03000 and the stop loss set above 1.04000. If the price falls back to 1.02299 and stabilizes, you can consider long orders, with the target at 1.03200, and the stop loss is recommended to be set below 1.02000. The current EUR/USD trend is still dominated by oscillating downwards. It is necessary to pay attention to the breakthrough of key points to determine the next direction and maintain a flexible operation strategy.

EUR: Weighted by tariffs and spreadsThe repricing of the Fed cycle after the strong US jobs data has seen EUR:USD two-year swap rate differentials widen back out beyond 190bp. We expect those differentials to stay near 200bp for most of the year and to keep EUR/USD under pressure. Equally, Friday's release of the European Central Bank's staff paper into the neutral interest rate had little impact on the pricing of the ECB cycle. The threat of tariffs coming to Europe this week has seen EUR/USD drop close to 1.03 again. A move back to 1.0225 is possible if the 'reciprocal' tariffs claw in the EU or some of the major European countries. And Wednesday's US CPI release is another negative event risk for EUR/USD. If it can survive the tariff risk and the CPI, the run-up into Friday could look a little better for EUR/USD as investors turn their attention to the Munich security conference. Here we are expecting to hear more about the US proposed ceasefire deal in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. A surprise deal would certainly be a positive for the European currency complex.

EURUSD: in a mixed moodThe major data posted during the previous week for the US market was related to jobs data, released on Friday. The non-farm payrolls in January reached the level of 143K, while the market consensus was standing at 170K. At the same time, the unemployment rate dropped by 0,1 percentage point to the level of 4%, from previous 4,1%. Average hourly earnings were higher by 0,5% for the month, bringing it to the level of 4,1% on a yearly basis. As for other macro data posted for the US during the previous week, the ISM Manufacturing PMI for January was standing at 50,9, a bit higher from market estimate of 49,8. The jobs openings for December show a bit weaker data at 7,6M, in relation to the market expectation of 8M new jobs. The S&P Services PMI for January reached the level of 52,8, which was lower from the market expectation of 54,3. Friday also brought data for Michigan Consumer Sentiment preliminary for February at the level of 67,8, which was lower from estimated 71,1. The Michigan 5 years inflation expectations were also increased by 0,1 percentage point to 3,3%, from previous 3,2%. Initial inflation estimate for inflation in January in the Euro Zone was 2,5% a bit higher from the market consensus of 2,4%. The core inflation is still elevated at the level of 2,7% y/y, again higher from forecasted 2,6%. The HCOB Composite PMI final for January in Germany was standing at 52,5 while the same indicator for the Euro Zone was at the level of 50,2. Both indicators were in line with market estimates. The retail sales in the Euro Zone in December was higher by 1,9% on a yearly basis, despite its drop of -0,2% for the month. The trade balance in Germany ended the year at the positive territory of 20,7B euro, much higher from estimated 17M euro. During the previous week the eurusd currency pair was traded in a mixed manner. The Monday trading session started with a strong move from levels around 1,03 all the way down toward 1,05. This was not at all sustainable for the currency pair, so the rest of the week eurusd was traded between 1,044 and 1,031. The reversal toward the down side occurred in the Friday trading session, after the NFP and unemployment data. The currency pair ended the week at the level of 1,032. The RSI is still struggling to hold levels above the 50, but still without success. The indicator was mostly moving around the 45 level. This is an indication that investors are still not quite sure which side to trade. The moving average of 50 days is still diverging from MA200, indicating that there will be no cross of lines in the near period. Friday's move of the currency pair to the higher grounds for the US Dollar, which occurred after the NFP data were released, is actually pointing that the market is still expecting interest rates to stay higher for a longer period of time. Although the figure of NFP jobs was lower from market expectation, still average hourly earnings showed some increase in the latest period, which might bring inflation to higher grounds, and consequently, impact Fed's decision to hold interest rates at current levels for a longer period of time. Markets will use the week ahead to digest a bit of the latest jobs data, in which sense, some reversal might be possible. Still, without significant data related to inflation, it should not be expected to make any significant move toward the upside. The Resistance line at 1,04 could easily be tested, however, for the higher grounds, there is currently no clear indication on charts. Just in case that the market decides to continue with the downtrend, then the level of 1,02 might be tested. Important news to watch during the week ahead are: EUR: Industrial Production in January in the Euro Zone, GDP Growth rate Q/Q second estimate for Q4 for the Euro Zone, USD: Fed Chair Powell testimony at Tuesday, Inflation rate for January, the Producers Price Index in January, Retail Sales in January, Industrial Production in January

EURUSD 10 Feb 2025 W7 - Intraday Analysis - Tariffs!This is my Intraday analysis on EURUSD for 10 Feb 2025 W7 based on Smart Money Concept (SMC) which includes the following: Market Sentiment 4H Chart Analysis 15m Chart Analysis Market Sentiment My Weekly Analysis HERE still the same as Tariffs is the main theme but market reaction is the key. Is the market got used to the Tariffs news so reactions will be soft and fade or we are going to see more fear in the market with Tariff War ? 4H Chart Analysis 1️⃣ 🔹Swing Bullish 🔹INT Bearish 🔹Reached Swing Extreme Demand 🔹Swing Continuation 2️⃣ 🔹With the deep pullback to the Bullish Swing extreme discount and mitigating the 4H/Daily demand zones, price turned Bullish forming a Bullish CHoCH. 🔹The current Bullish move from Swing extreme discount to current price level having 2 scenarios: Scenario 1: Pullback for Bearish INT Structure and with the recent Bearish CHoCK and Minor Demand zones are failing, I expect Bearish continuation to target the Weak INT Low which aligns with the Daily/Weekly Bearish Structure/Move. (Counter Swing – Pro Internal) Scenario 2: Bullish Swing continuation to target the Weak Swing High. Which requires to have Demand holding and Supply failing. The first sign required to confirm this scenario will be the current Demand which price is currently at to hold and we form a Bullish CHoCH. (Pro Swing – Counter Internal) 3️⃣ 🔹Expectations is set to Bearish to target the Weak INT Low as long LTFs are staying Bearish. 15m Chart Analysis 1️⃣ 🔹Swing Bearish 🔹INT Bearish 🔹Swing Continuation 2️⃣ 🔹Price reached the Weak Swing High (4H CHoCH) sweeping the liquidity and turning INT structure to bearish with iBOS. 🔹INT Structure continuing Bearish following the 4H Continuation. 🔹With today open, market created a new Bearish iBOS due to Tariffs announcements. 🔹Current INT High is the 4H CHoCH which could be taken out as liquidity for continuation down. 🔹Price currently reached the Supply zone that caused the Bearish iBOS and we could see continuation down targeting the Weak INT Low. 🔹For me, I’d prefer to short from the 4H Supply after sweeping the 15m INT High (4H CHoCH). 3️⃣ 🔹Expectation is for price to continue Bearish targeting the 15m Weak Swing Low.

EURO - Price can bounce up from triangle to $1.0430 pointsHi guys, this is my overview for EURUSD, feel free to check it and write your feedback in comments👊 Some days ago price rose to the resistance area, after which it dropped to support area inside wedge. Euro turned around and started to grow near support line of wedge and later it reached $1.0390 level and broke it. Next, price rose to resistance line of wedge and then made a correction movement to $1.0390 level and exited from wedge. After this, price broke $1.0390 level and made a strong gap, after which it started to grow inside a triangle. In this pattern, Euro rose to resistance line, some time traded near, and then in a short time fell back to support line. In my mind, Euro can bounce up from support line to $1.0430, exiting from a triangle and breaking resistance level. If this post is useful to you, you can support me with like/boost and advice in comments❤️
