10k PipFarm Journey

I just bought a 10k Pipfarm 1 step endurance acc. And I asked Chatgpt what risk parameter I should use for maximum benefit.

This is what I got.

Summary (Screenshot This)

Risk per trade: 0.25% ($25)
Max daily loss you allow: 0.75%
Trades/day: 2–3
R:R: 1:1 – 1:1.5
Weekly DD: 2%
Goal: Survive, not impress

And I will follow the exact rules. The only diff is the RR. My strategy has higher RR.

The strategy is 4H liquidity sweep and then rejection after that I wait for 1H liquidity sweep and rejection using 4H as my bias. Tp is 4H target.

For every day I will only note down whether I followed the rule and risk parameter. I will not jot down pnl.

Dec 26 2025

EurNzd – Yes I followed the rules. Risk Boundary reached.
AudCad- Yes I followed the rules. Closed at BE as Weekend
GbpUsd- Rules followed. Position invalidated by opp Signal

From the third trade I have increased risk to 0.5%

Ending the day.

Dec 27 2025

Was just talking with Chatgpt about my trading fear and it recommend to think like a system operator where the system needs >30 attempts to produce results. This completely changed my thinking.

I love that I am a system operator and need at least 30 attempts to analyze my system’s result.

Dec 29 2025

I am a system operator. My job is to execute my edge.

4. Eurnzd – Rules followed. Outcome target reached. Trade resolved per system. Result +1.5%
5. GbpUsd – Opp Signal detected. Closed short and opened long (buy limit). Rules respected and system uphled. Position triggered. Risk Boundary reached. Acc protected.
6. GbpUsd – Long activated. Rules followed. Risk Boundary reached.

Two trades were compromised today so down 1% and there is another trade running with 0.5% and while closing the short from Dec 26 lost 0.25%. In total lost 1.25% and 0.5% is exposed. Risk for the day is already 1.75% so ending the day.

Therefore, session ended per daily risk protocol. System integrity preserved and no risk added.

Dec 30 2025

7. EurUsd- Short activated. Rules followed. RB (Risk Boundary) moved to Breakeven. Never had a rule as to moving RB to BE or not. After careful thought I have decided no intervention moving forward. This will be one of a case. OT (Outcome Target) reached with 4R

Dec 31 2025 to Jan 2 2026

Trading paused due to Holiday season and low liquidity to protect system edge.

Jan 2 2026

8 Gbpaud – Long Activated. Rules followed. RB reached
9 Us100 – Short Activated. Rules followed. RB reached

Currently the total risk is 1.5% total. I will let it resolve before taking trades further. No intervention.

System operator taking leave for weekend.

Jan 3

Been noticing recently that trades taken on Us session tend to work rather than on Asia/ London.

Jan 5

Rule added: Session–instrument alignment
USD pairs → US session only
JPY pairs → Asia session only

I do not trade to feel good.
I trade to execute a system.
The system produces outcomes in time.

15 XauUsd – Re entered, 4H HTF bias still active, RB level @ 4H null level. Risk Boundary reached.

Type: Process breach
Rule violated: No re-entries / One premise–one execution

Outcome: Additional loss
Correction: Re-entry rule removed permanently
Preventive rule: One premise → one execution → one outcome

16 AudUsd – Short Activated (US). Rules followed. Risk Boundary Reached.

January 12

18 – CadJpy – Long Activated (Asia). Rules followed. Opp Signal. Closed with 4rr.

Since the concurrent risk is 1%, 0.5% each trade, I am standing down until anyone is resolved.

6 Back to Back Losses after getting funded. If this were me in my previous version I would have panicked. But then after long talk and discussion with ChatGpt my perception has changed. Within a large sample 6 back to back losses is a possibility. Moreover, my sample size is 30 so no worries until then.

January 26

7 GbpNzd – Long. Asia. Rules followed. RB Reached.
8 GbpNzd – Long. US. Rules followed. RB Reached.

January 27

9 ChfJpy – Long. Asia. Rules followed. RB Reached.
10 CadJpy – Long. Asia. Rules followed. RB Reached.

10 Loses back to back. Unbelievable. However, I will keep trading the same way.

January 28

11 EurAud – Long. Asia. Rules followed. RB Reached
12 EurJpy – Long. Asia. Rules followed. RB reached.
13 BtcUsd – Long. Asia. Rules followed. RB Reached.
14 EurAud – Long. Asia. Rules followed. RB Reached.
15 GbpJpy – Long. Asia. Rules followed. RB Reached.

January 29

16 EurJpy – Long. Asia. Rules followed. RB Reached.
17 GbpJpy – Long. US. Rules followed. RB Reached.

Only $131 left for hitting max drawdown. From here I am going to tweak the model to Model Asl.

Model Asl – 1h sweep and rejection and then stop loss hunt of the rejection.

0.5% per trade. If they both fail then last trade with remaining dollar. So this will give me 3 trades.

January 30

18 EurAud – Long. Asia. Asl. OT Reached. 2RR

February 2

19 NzdCad – Short. US. RB Reached.

I am stopping this as I would like to focus on 10AtPf journey.

Changing this ModelA to Model Atsl. The details of each model are given below.

Risk 0.85%

Model A – 4H sweep and rejection followed by 1H sweep and rejection

Model At – Sweep and rejection in 15 min for US100/500

Model Atsl – Sweep and rejection in 15 min with stop loss hunt later. US100/500 and Gold

February 6

20 US100 – Model Atsl 2.7RR London session

February 10

21 XauUsd – Breakeven (price later hit sl level)

Feb 11

22 XauUsd – RB Reached.
23 US 500 – RB Reached.
24 XauUsd – RB Reached.

Now, my balance is at 9030. Today took 3 consecutive losses. Maybe I need to come up with some risk management like session timing or/and number of trades per day.

So I decided to take only one trade per day and only during US session.

I failed this challenge. Case Closed.
