300 € to 10000€ - + ftmo challenge

Hey everyone.

I'm Navi, a manual swing forex trader based in Spain. I've set myself a clear goal: take this account from 300€ to 10,000€ through disciplined, manual swing trading. No EAs, no automation — every trade is my own decision, every setup is my own read of the market.

I trade swing timeframes, meaning I hold positions from a few hours to several days. I focus on five pairs where I have a statistically backed edge: EUR/JPY, USD/JPY, CAD/JPY, AUD/CAD, and EUR/USD. No overtrading, no chasing — quality setups only.

I do have a live track record on MQL5, although I won't be sharing the signal link directly as it would break Forex Factory rules — however, you can see my full results in the attached TE.

Alongside this account, I'm also running an FTMO Swing Account challenge, so both will be tracked here as they develop.

What to expect from this journal: trade setups with entry rationale, monthly performance tables, FTMO challenge updates, and honest post-trade analysis — wins and losses alike.

I won't post daily noise.
Updates come when there's something worth showing.

First trade since I created this thread:

On ETH/USD + up almost 3%, might re-enter if it drops.

What was your DD at the circled point for your 3 trades?

Hello buddy!

It was around 2-3 %

I'll attach a picture of the status of my FTMO challenge aswell.

Saty safe!

I did not attach it At what DD would you cut all 3 of your trades or would you wait for 5%?

Markets are tough now, I usually can take up to 4% DD, but moving to 3% for awhile. That means entries must be more targeted and percise, not something I like to do, as entries mostly irrelevant to trading. MM and controlling MindFuck(Fear and Greed) to get to your TP, is where its at.

Quick checkpoint — about to flip the account over €1000.
That's officially the first 10% of the €10K road. Not huge in absolute terms, but milestones matter when you're playing the long game and not chasing 1000% in a month.

2026 has had a decent rhythm so far — JPYs doing most of the heavy lifting, AUDCAD chipping in with a couple of clean swings. May intentionally quiet on purpose: preferred sitting on hands over forcing setups.

Dropping the performance dashboard below for anyone keeping score. 2025 had its bruises, still pretending October didn't happen, but 2026 has been a different story so far. Same pairs, same plan, more patience.

Onwards to €2K.
