FTMO Challenge – Day 1 Journal

I’ve started my $10,000 FTMO Classic Challenge.

Current account status:

Balance: $10,000

Equity: $10,000

Profit target: $500

Maximum daily loss: $500

Maximum loss: $1000

Trading days required: Minimum 2

No trades have been taken yet, so the account is currently at 0% profit/loss.

My focus for this challenge is to protect the account first and let the setups come to me. I’ll be combining my technical analysis with the economic calendar and only taking trades when my setup and risk management align.

Day 1: Preparation > Patience > Execution. 📊

I will document my FTMO journey, including my setups, entries, invalidations, results and lessons learned

DAY 1 Trading Summary — Thursday, 1st October 2026

I took 5 trade positions today across GBPUSD, US100 and EURUSD.

GBPUSD: 3 positions — all losses

US100: 1 position — loss

EURUSD: 1 position — win

Total positions = 5

Result = -$199.64 (-1.99%)

Account Balance = $9,800.36

Win Rate = 20%

Comment:

Today wasn't the result I was looking for. The main damage came from the GBPUSD trades, while the EURUSD position was the only profitable trade. I still remained within the FTMO risk limits, with the maximum daily loss and maximum loss objectives both intact.

Observation:

The biggest thing I'm taking from today is that being wrong on a setup is normal, but allowing multiple losing positions to build up can quickly affect the account. I need to be more selective with my entries and make sure the risk on each setup is appropriate before entering.

Day 1 result: -$199.64 (-1.99%) | 5 trades | 20% win rate | Risk limits maintained.

Alright.
It's to learn from the lessons of the previous one and correct it in this new one.
There won't be improvement if lessons are not learnt and corrections made. Market will always remain, but the accounts may not survive if the trader is not intentional about protecting his capital.

Even though it wasn't the result you were looking for, It's still a good start. Taking the process slow and steady is what counts. Tomorrow is another day filled with opportunities to maximize.

Yeah I have also learnt not to accumulate all profits at once just to pass the account, so for this one I will be taking it gradually untill passed

📊 Trading Report — 02/10/2026

Today’s trading session ended negative, with a total loss of -$157.34, bringing the account equity to $9,842.66 from the $10,000 starting balance.

Performance:

Total trades: 11

Winning trades: 4

Losing trades: 7

Win rate: 36.36%

Average profit: +$20.68

Average loss: -$34.30

Average R:R: 0.60

Expectancy: -$14.30 per trade

Profit factor: 0.34

Total lots: 1.73

Daily result: -$157.34

One notable trade was the EUR/USD buy, which closed with +$43.34 / +9 pips after approximately 3h 50m in the market.

📝 Daily assessment

The main weakness today was risk-to-reward and trade selection. Although there were profitable trades, the average loss was significantly larger than the average win, while the 36.36% win rate was not enough to compensate. The negative expectancy confirms that the strategy execution needs improvement.

Tomorrow's focus: fewer trades, only high-quality setups, defined invalidation before entry, and avoid taking trades simply to recover today's loss
