Prop Trader Training Community Post Example
I understand it may be hard to grasp what this community feels like, so as an example I’ll share a post from February 4.
The important thing is the "way of thinking" rather than winning or losing
The method is important as well, but analysis makes the method come alive, and successful traders are undoubtedly good at analysis.
Analytical skills are future-oriented skills.

【February 4, 2026, 20:45】 【Currency pair: USD/JPY】 【Today’s stance】Long direction. 〇 Directionality: Buy around the 20 EMA on the 15-minute chart. However, if a deep pullback occurs during the New York session, there is a possibility it could pull back to the 75 EMA. 〇 Current situation: Waiting for a pullback 〇 Basic policy: Depends on the New York session. While rebounds around the 20 EMA occur frequently, there is a possibility of a somewhat deeper pullback. 〇 If criteria are not met: No trade 【Situational awareness (higher timeframe)】 4-hour chart: Hits a support line and is slightly choppy. From here, target a temporary pullback. 【View on the short-term chart】 ※There is no need to force a trade ① Pattern 1 (difficulty: medium) Condition: Buy around the 20 EMA Stop loss: Recent low 156.4 Comment: Depends on the New York session. ② Pattern 2 (difficulty: high) Condition: Buy at the 75 EMA Stop loss: Recent low 156.2 Comment: Consider once it breaks below the 20 EMA ③ Skip condition: If entry conditions are not met, skip 【Money management / trade design】 Take profit target: 157.2 Pattern 1 RR: 1:1.3 Pattern 2 RR: 1:7 Risk: There is an S-rank indicator at 00:00. Close by then. Risk relative to margin: 0.5–1%. 【Key lines on higher timeframe】 Price band: 157.2 Meaning: Daily resistance line Today there is an S-rank indicator. It’s better to close early.

The next day, verification of the analysis.
【Verification of the previous day’s analysis | USD/JPY / February 4, 2026】 【Previous day’s stance (reposted)】 Direction: Buy around the 20 EMA on the 15-minute chart. However, if a deep pullback occurs during the New York session, there is a possibility it could pull back to the 75 EMA. Entry conditions: Pattern 1: Buy at the 20 EMA on the 15-minute chart Pattern 2: Buy at the 75 EMA on the 15-minute chart Skip condition: If price rises without forming a pullback or did not reach the EMA. 【Result】 Conditions met: If entering at the 20 EMA, after a 10-pip unrealized gain, a stop is hit at -20 pips. If entering at the 75 EMA, take profit at 40 pips. Risk-reward 1:1.6 Actual price movement: When entering at the 20 EMA, similar to gold, price declined at the neckline after entering. Initially in profit, then stopped out. 【Verification ①: Was the judgment valid?】 Was the reason for waiting for conditions correct? In the prior post, I stated, “If a deep pullback occurs during the NY session, there is a possibility it could pull back to the 75 EMA.” The judgment of this “possibility” was likely difficult. Next, another condition was added. 【Verification ②: Insight】 If a deep pullback forms and price continues in the direction, the risk-reward improves. However, in this case, the prior plan to enter only at the 20 EMA based on the previous trend made the condition too shallow. Like gold, this resulted in a pullback from the neckline after stalling at the 20 EMA, so as one pattern, it is reasonable to close the trade right after forming the MW (moving wave) at the neckline. 【Reason for why price rebounded at the 75 EMA】 From the perspective of the 15-minute chart, if you draw Fibonacci from the swing low to the recent high, the contact with the 75 EMA aligns with 61.8%. When multiple conditions line up like this, this becomes a strong candidate for an entry. 【Conclusion】 If entering immediately after MW, it is better to close at the neckline first. Although the risk-reward worsens, building confidence in your own judgments is essential for skill improvement.
