Harry's trading journey wasn’t quick, and it wasn’t easy.
It was real.
After half a decade of trial and error, false starts, FOMO, and mindset blocks — Harry finally passed £100K in funding and landed his first payout.
In this post, we break down what changed, why he nearly gave up, and the lessons any aspiring trader can take from his story.
Harry first joined George back in the SoFX days — years before WeTrade was even founded.
“It’s been five years now. I started in your very first community, and I’ve just stuck with it.”
From day one, Harry was all-in. He woke up early. He studied charts before work. He did everything he thought was “right.” But trading wasn’t working — and he couldn’t figure out why.
“I was trading before work, smashing the charts every day. But I'd miss a setup, get FOMO, and force trades during New York.”
Like many beginners, Harry had the wrong mindset.
He chased the market. He broke rules. And worst of all — he attached emotion to every trade.
The shift came when he realised something painful:
“My technicals were fine. It was my mind that was broken.”
After losing multiple funded challenges, Harry took six months off. He needed to reset — properly.
Then he came back different.
“You lose a trade? Doesn’t matter. Stick to the rules. The edge plays out over time.”
Passing demo challenges came easily. But when it came to real funded accounts, the mental battle kicked in.
“The jump from demo to real funding is massive. It hits hard — you overthink everything.”
That’s why Harry stresses the mental edge. Trading isn’t just about setups — it’s about psychology. And learning to detach emotion from results is what finally unlocked real success.
After several years of on-and-off effort, Harry finally passed two challenges and landed his first funded payout.
“I only passed just over two weeks ago. But already got my first payout coming through.”
The difference? Confidence. Patience. Consistency. And a real support system.
“I couldn’t have done it without you guys. The community, the feedback, the webinars… second to none.”
From trade reviews to real-time feedback, Harry says being part of a group like WeTrade changed the game. It gave him the environment to stay accountable and supported — and helped shorten his learning curve.
Here’s what Harry would tell his past self (and any new trader trying to make it work):
“No emotion. No ego. Just rules. If your head’s not right, nothing else will work.”
“Start at 0.5% per trade. Build your buffer. Then scale. Don’t blow accounts trying to get rich fast.”
“You need people who’ve been through it. You need feedback. You need support. Don’t try do this alone.”
Harry’s journey proves one thing: the path to success in trading isn’t a straight line.
It’s full of setbacks, hard lessons, and mental battles. But with the right strategy, the right community, and enough persistence — the results do come.
“Five years ago I started this. And now I’m funded and getting payouts. It’s just the beginning.”
