Good day,

Let me start from when I got the account,(PART 1)

I got the account on Saturday at midnight around 11PM. I was a bit nervous 😥, I wanted to open a position immediately but I cautioned myself.

I waited till Sunday morning before thinking about it again, as you well know, the forex market does not open on weekends so I decided to look at the crypto pairs, yes, crypto pairs you heard me right 🙂↕️.

Then I saw 👀 this good looking setup on ETHUSD and decided to trade it using 0.5% of my capital, then I headed to my my funded account to activate my MT5 by on getting there I realized that the prop firm doesn’t have MT5, matchtrader or any other trading platform integrated.

To be honest I felt disappointed for a moment but then I said to myself that “I will not let this be a setback” so I went on to their own trading terminal

Anticipate part 2
