David Ajie shares his story as a funded trader within CTI’s Funded Trader Program. He shares his story trading the evaluation funded account and he has now passed and started his fully funded account with $52,000.

David Ajie has received his profit share from his evaluation phase and is now looking getting paid monthly from his fully funded account as he moves up to the next Portfolio Manager levels.

David has been one of the most resilient and committed traders to his success and below he shares his success in his interview with CTI. His success comes from following his rules with proper risk management and thinking about the funding as a long term success rather than short term gains.

Could you tell us why you joined CTI's Funded Trader Program?

I started trading in 2016 after I randomly found an article about it while at work. I thought it will be a very easy way to make money, but I found out that wasn’t the case, I bought all the trading bots and signal services I could find. $5,000 and 10 blown accounts later, I decided to focus on myself, I began to understand price action, developed a strategy and trading plan, and I slowly began to see a change in my trading results.

How was it like being one of CTI's funded traders?

The evaluation program was, by far, one of the most challenging parts of my trading career and even life in general. It really tested my ability to stick to my plan and strategy but at the same time it also improved me as a trader, it helped me to manage my risk, be patient with the market and focus on the process and I can say for the first time I began to focus on the process rather than the end goal.

Could you share with others your trading strategy?

I use wedge patterns and trendline formations to trade the funded accounts. Specifically, wedge breakouts, wedge rejections, trendline continuation and trendline breaks after trend exhaustion.

Are you happy with the CTI's service and the funded account? Why?

Yes, I am very happy with the service and the account, the discord group is very helpful for communicating with other like-minded traders, and I am very satisfied with the customer service. The account rules worked out really well for me, being a swing trader, I was able to hold trades overnight and over the weekend and 1 year was more than enough for me to pass the evaluation. It is easy to conclude that CTI made the account rules with the trader in mind.

Any tips on how to trade the Forex Funded Account?‎

My most important advice is not to rush!!!. Take your time; there is more than enough time provided. Secondly, make sure you have a fixed strategy and a defined trading plan before signing up for the evaluation. Don’t be too rigid as a trader should be able to adapt to the ever changing markets but at the same time don’t try to change your strategy trading the funded accounts. Lastly, don’t get too fixated on the outcome that you forget to enjoy the process.
