When Connor first reached out to us at WeTrade, he was watching from the sidelines — curious, cautious, and not quite ready to take the leap. Fast-forward 13 months, and he’s now a £400K funded trader, earning consistent payouts and building long-term wealth through trading.
Here’s how he did it — and what you can learn from his journey.
Connor was no stranger to entrepreneurship. He’d run a successful CBD company for five years and owned a vape and sunbed shop. But when those ventures came to an end, he found himself sitting on savings… and searching for a new path.
“I knew I wanted something with freedom. No staff. No overheads. Just me, my laptop, and the ability to work anywhere.”
That’s when he came back to trading — something he’d seen us talk about on Instagram for years. After one final call, he joined WeTrade and committed to learning properly.
Connor admits the early months were rough.
He was inconsistent. Still working part-time. Missing chart time. Letting mindset lapses get the best of him.
“I’d miss just one day, and that’d be the day everyone else was up 4%. That kills your momentum.”
He also failed 3 or 4 prop firm challenges before finally passing one. But instead of quitting, he doubled down on discipline.
Initially, Connor joined on the basic package. But a couple months in, he upgraded to mentorship — and that changed everything.
“You wouldn’t start a business without a mentor. Why would you start trading without one?”
One call in particular stood out. We showed him how to run weekly trade reviews — where he’d compare his backtested results to his real results and uncover the psychological gaps.
“That changed the game. My backtests were profitable. I wasn’t. So why? Emotion. Missed trades. Hesitation.”
That weekly habit helped him become consistent — and ultimately profitable.
Today, Connor is £400K funded, with plans to scale to £1M.
His approach? Trade conservatively on funded accounts. Trade aggressively on challenges. Reinvest profits into more challenges. Build a live account with 50% of every payout.
“I don’t see challenges as an expense. They’re investments. If I take £5K profit, I’ll buy 5 more. If 1 passes, I win.”
He's not chasing Lambos. He’s building a machine.
We asked Connor to share his top advice for anyone stuck or just starting. Here’s what he said:
Connor’s story is proof that trading rewards consistency — not luck.
He didn’t start with elite skill. He started with commitment, got knocked down, stayed disciplined, and found a system that worked.
“It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. But it is the fastest way to build wealth when you treat it seriously.”
