The median ForgeFunded trader clears phase one in 19 trading sessions. This is the routine most of them share.
An 8% target sounds like a sprint and gets traded like one. It is not. Across 38,400 accounts, the traders who pass most reliably average 0.42% per session and take fewer than four positions a day.
Their routine is boring by design: one segment, one session window — usually 9:20 to 11:00 AM or the MCX evening session — a fixed rupee risk unit, and a hard stop after two consecutive losses.
The single biggest predictor of failure in our data is not strategy quality — it is a risk unit that changes size after a losing day. Traders who double down after a red session breach the daily limit roughly six times more often.
Set your unit before you start the evaluation, write it down, and let the unlimited time limit do the compounding for you.
