From One Big Win to a Real Trading Business
Record payout intro and backstory. Tyler outlines five years in markets—four years of losses, then a breakthrough year culminating in a $51K record with ThinkCapital. He credits rule design (balance-based daily/overall drawdown) and stakes his claim as a swing trader who put in years of grind before consistency.

The Early Mistakes That Almost Ended the Journey
Origins during COVID: blew stimulus checks trading options, then discovered Forex via YouTube. Self-taught from mixed sources (incl. ICT), he embraced time-of-day discipline over all-day screen-watching. While working construction in New York, he tried trading on breaks—fueling his move to Miami for a fresh start.

Why ThinkCapital Changed the Way Tyler Trades
Hard lessons: overleveraging and blowing $100K challenges. The turning point was meticulous journaling—documenting setups and emotions—and manifesting goals. He refined risk management, stopped chasing every move, and committed to only A+ setups backed by data and repeatable process.

How Risk Management Led to a $51,000 Payout
Playbook: London session only, 30-minute entries with daily/HTF targets. Few pairs, held longer for bigger asymmetric moves. “Less is more”—fewer pairs, fewer sessions, fewer trades. He’ll sit out for days until the A+ look emerges, then execute and leave the screen.

Staying Grounded After a Record-Breaking Month
Mindset and structure: confidence comes from backtesting, not hope. Detach from P&L, trust the edge, and keep life disciplined (fitness, routine). Prefers ThinkCapital’s balance-based rules that fit swing trading. Manages multiple accounts with uniform risk, avoids drama, and focuses on sustained growth.
