If you have been following me then you should know that I have three model as of now. They are:

1. Model At
2. Model Atc and
3. Model Atsl

Model atc and Model atsl are variations of Model At. In my 10k Pipfarm funded acc, I did a thorough analysis and found that Model Atsl gave the most winrate and RR.

For this AplphaCapital 10k acc during the challenge phases I used all the models.

However, for the funded stage I am using only Model Atsl.

The Model Atsl has a slight variation which is Model Atcsl.

I am going to jot down trades just as a list.

Note: All trades are and will be taken in US session with 1% risk. The instruments are Gold and US100 and with 1H TF as bias filter with 15 min entries.

1. Atsl, US100, Win, +376 (26th March 2026)
2. Atsl, Gold, Win, +203 – Invalid
3. Atsl, Gold, Loss, -101 – Invalid
4. Atcsl, US100, Loss, -110
5. Atsl, US100, Breakeven. +10
6. Atsl, Gold, Loss, -119 – Invalid
7. Atsl, Gold, Loss, -116 – Invalid

Watching Gold and Us100 at the same time is draining me. So from now on I will only focus on US100 as it was the original idea.

P.S I had passed the 1st and 2nd challenge trading only US100. Adding Gold wasn’t my system. I added in the hope that I will get more trades. But it did more damage than I expected. So I will mark Gold trades as invalid.

• 8. Atsl, Us100, April 20, -55, US
• 9. Atsl, Us100, April 23, B.E, London
• 10, Atsl, US100, April 23, -103, US
• 11, Atsl, US100, April 24, -75, Asia

Adding US500 to the pot and now I will be screening US100 and US500.

I am having slight issues with clean execution. I am noticing that sometimes I enter when the setup isn’t clean like A+. I make some reason up and take the trade. So from now, being a system operator, my priority is only clean execution. And I will review the clean executions in batches of 5.

• 12 Atsl, US100, April 28, Asian, Clean Execution, +198.
• 13 Atsl, US500, April 29, London, Clean Execution, +22
• 14 Atsl, US100, April 29, US, Clean Execution (Only 100k scaled acc). This trade wasn’t taken on the funded acc as its prohibited during speeches and setup appeared during fomc speech. News trading is allowed in evaluation phases so took only in my 100k scaled acc. Made 3RR.
• 15 Atsl, US100, May 1, US, Clean Execution, -88
• 16, Atsl, Us500, May 4, Asia, Clean Execution, -21

5 Clean executions done.

• 17 Atsl, US100, May 5, Early Asia, Clean Execution, +183 (closed manually)
• 18 Atsl, US500, May 5, London, Clean Execution, B.E (closed manually)
• 19 Atsl, US100, May 8, London, Clean Execution, -50 (noticed 1H didn’t align with 15 min so closed early)

I am closing the above sample till 19th trade. This new sample will be different.

After watching Paulina from Fundingpips I ve realized that I have been closing trades for dopamine hit.

From now on, I won’t touch the trade. it will either hit stop loss or tp. The model is proven already. This time I will allow it to breathe without interference.

That’s all. No filter. No extra thoughts. Just trade, in terms of RR. From May 11 we start a new journey. And the sample will be next 20 trades.

Update on May 18 after taking 5 trades: I have noticed that it makes more sense for my strategy to do breakeven after an expansion of price in desired direction and take profits when demand and supply rejection happens. So the universal law to enter and hold till tp and sl doesn’t apply to model atsl.

1. US100- -87
2. US30- +48
3. US30- -95 (If I had this in breakeven I could have avoided a loss)
4. US100- +202
5. US500- +110 (rejection from demand zone)
6. US100- B.E (price retraced from 1H supply zone. There was no rejection on 1H tf though breakeven helped me in avoiding a loss)
7. US500- -54
8. US30- -104
9. US30- -97
10. US100- B.E (price again went to supplyzone. was +183 in profit and tp was set at $390. Later it came back and took my breakeven which eventually would have been a stop loss.)
11. US30- -100 / From now onwards I am removing US30
12. US100- -103 (atc)
13. US100-+209 (this early close cut down $400 target which it reached 1H atsl)
14. US100- -105
15. US100- -122 (mitigated already)
16. US500- Breakeven
17. US100- -101 (mitigated already) (1H atsl)
18. US100- -108 (mitigated already)(1H atsl)

Done with above sample.

My total win rate is 26% and pnl of above sample is -5%.

But I have found somethings that don’t work.

i. US30 doesn’t work well with my strategy

ii. Never take trades on mitigated levels. I had my suspicions but now I have proof.

iii. ATC rejections have shown mixed results. Its time I test them too.

So from now on, no US30, No mitigated levels and track atc rejections.

New Sample starts May 22 2026

1. US500- +44 (Friday close)
2. US500- -33
