Matt Berg

• 00:00 How he “traded my way to 2.175 million in funding” unverified, how he runs all accounts “without any third-party trading software”, his tools and his strategy on the chart.
• 00:30 Aim: “without having any fear, without having any greed, without ever breaking my plan”, staying stoic and disciplined through drawdowns and run-ups.
• Recorded Fri 10 Apr 2026 (desktop clock on-screen); the worked trade is “yesterday”, Thu 09 Apr 2026.
• Caption note: auto-captions write “MAC”; he says “mech” (his fully mechanical model).

• 00:49 Many platforms “if I'm trying to maximize scaling”: cTrader (“my favorite”), TradeSea, firm-native platforms, MetaTrader.
• 01:05 cTrader (Chrome): Titan Capital, QT, Aqua Funding, ACG accounts. 01:19 a second cTrader (Safari) for a separate set of accounts.
• 01:24 TradeSea: four Lucid and three Tradeify accounts. 01:37 Tradovate on TradingView: FundedNext, Lucid, Tradeify. 02:02 Topstep X. 02:06 MetaTrader.
• 02:17 “I use limit orders … that's kind of how I scale.” 02:28 Sometimes all platforms at once when “my rules would tell me to trade them all at once”.
• on-screen cTrader account names carry a risk $ and asset label (e.g. “$2666 AU”, “M$1500 40 LOTS AU/NQ”).

• 02:34 Google Sheets + TradeZella. 02:50 “I journal in risk to reward … it tracks the true gain on the charts.”
• 03:00 Dollars are meaningless for him because risk depends on “what accounts have been allocated to that trade” (asset and session vary).
• 03:17 R = stop size vs target size, “a ratio”; 03:24 2.7R vs 2.3R examples; a tighter stop raises R.
• 03:51 “14.8 risk to reward up this year on the hybrid model” unverified. 04:03 “2.1 million in active live funding … trading 1.5 million of that, risking on average 1% per trade” unverified.
• 04:17 Columns: Session, Entry time, Asset, Date, Month, Year, Result, Notes, RR tracker.
• on-screen Sheet “TnB Global Forex hybrid”: EURUSD/AUDUSD, LDN/NY rows, results like −1R, +3R, +6.7R and small partial closes (−0.1R, −0.2R, −0.4R) noted “Weekend pull” / “News pull”. A “MECH LDN” table ends at +3.7R.

• 04:32 Shows his colours/canvas settings; 04:53 delete the volume pane; 04:54 uncheck the right-side items for a clean view.
• 04:58 Tags “each pair, my mech model, my hybrid model, and then each step of the model … on the right side” to follow many pairs at once.
• on-screen TradingView timezone (UTC+1) London; Fractals indicator; watchlist groups BOX · FAKED · SWEPT · OPEN LEVEL–HYBRID · MECH.

• 05:13 The worked trade: 3R, “$15,000 on prop firm accounts” unverified.
• 05:22 Not taken on his personal account: “I don't trade NQ mech on that personal account.”
• 05:32 NQ 3R mech gets little capital; he added it “to avoid ACG's max capital with one strategy rule” because most accounts trade AU and EU. 05:51 “I never want to break prop firm rules. That is always my priority.”
• on-screen The chart is US100 (Capital.com CFD).

05:57 “…the same confluences I take every time.”

1. Bias 06:05: “on the four-hour time frame, the most recent break of structure using the fractals indicator by Rachel T” was up, so bullish.
2. Liquidity 06:20: bullish means “previous session lows”; wait for them to be taken out. on-screen the level is labelled “ASN LOW”, swept about 10:00 UTC+1 (05:00 ET).
3. First candle 06:30: “the first candle to form in direction of bias on or after the sweep.”
4. Fib 06:39: from “the high of previous plus current session to the low of previous plus current session.”
5. Fake-out 06:45: price taps “this blue line. That is my fake out confluence.” (Fib value not stated.)
6. Confirmation 06:53: a break of structure in bias “off of the fractals indicator only … the nearest high that has a fractal on it.” (Chart is 5m on-screen.)

• 07:08 Limit orders, pre-placed (from his 9-5 days, when he missed trades in meetings).
• 07:35 “The second that this breaks structure, initiate a limit order in the 0.618 zone, which is where my OTE level is, and then automatically have my stop loss and take profit preset.”
• Target: 09:27 “a one to three risk to reward” (fixed 1:3).
• Stop: not stated aloud. on-screen the stop sits at the top of the fib range (cTrader labels 100% / 102.5%).
• Unfilled: 09:31 “If it doesn't hit the zone … I will extend the fib with price and then adjust my limit order.”

• 08:09 Always draw the fib in cTrader “because then you get the exact price.”
• 08:18 The fixed-risk tool: preloaded SL and TP, set the $ risk (“let's say I want to risk $100”), then place the order.
• 08:35 Switch to another account at the same firm: “as long as they have the same prefix, it's still there, and I can click enter.” No redrawing.
• 08:52 A different firm uses a different symbol suffix (EURUSD.pro vs QT's own), so the chart is blank. FTMO / IC Markets use plain EURUSD, so drawings carry over.

• 09:41 Filled, ran to about 2.8–2.9R, came back “near break even”, then hit TP.
• on-screen Position tool: entry 24,800.1 · stop 24,779.3 (20.8 pts) · target 24,862.8 (62.7 pts) · R:R 3.01. TP reached about 13:55 UTC+1 (08:55 ET).
• 09:51 “I never pull out early. I'm never managing my trade. I'm never putting stop loss at one R, stop loss at 2R … I do a set and forget.”
• 10:03 Reasons: emotions, objectivity, “better on results because I've got the back-tested data”; managing every account would drain him.
• 10:39 Philosophy: “Having an idea, collecting data on it, then executing.”
• 10:49 Accounts on this trade: 200k, 50k, 10k, 100k, 100k (prop), “like $15,000” unverified.

• 10:57 Prop profit isn't money “until you pulled it out”: risk, max-lot and news rules can get a payout denied.
• 11:18 Last 10 days “up $21,000 in payouts” (FundedNext, Alpha Capital/ACG, FTMO; “max capped” at FundedNext, Lucid, Tradeify; 200k Blue Guardian) unverified.
• 12:24 “I won't really go too much into the risk in the back-end plan … I just keep it just in the group.” The full risk plan is not stated.

• 12:45 “This is my entry model. That is not one of my bias formats.”
• Mech: “fully mechanical.”
• Hybrid: “mechanical entry, all the same rules as the mech, except when the bias is 5% discretion.”
• LRV 13:00: “low risk to reward variation … a hedge against the uncertainty of the future”, high win rate. Suits futures prop firms (equity-based drawdown, winning-day payout rules). Forex firms have static drawdown and fewer hoops. LRV's R target is not stated.

• 13:41 A “full structure” for “what account is for what asset, and for what session, and what risk … what prop firms I'm buying at what time” (details not given).
• 13:47 “I'm buying accounts on a weekly basis”, “equally, proportionally leveraged into every period of time”, so one losing month doesn't over-leverage him and winning months aren't under-leveraged.

He never states trading hours aloud. 15:17 Free Fridays run live calls “in London session … and … in New York session.” Times below are on-screen (UK, UTC+1 in April) converted to ET (EDT, 5 h behind).

• SL as a fib number (on-screen it's consistent with 100–102.5%); the fake-out line's fib value; confirmation timeframe (5m on screen); body-close rule.
• Session windows or cut-offs, max trades per session, news rules (the sheet shows a “News pull”), daily loss limits, pre-market routine.
• Risk % by account type (only “on average 1% per trade”); LRV rules; how the hybrid bias works beyond “5% discretion”.
• Pack-only details (Tap ’n’ Barrel PDF, section above): 0.079 fake-out, SL 1.025, news ±15 m, windows, tiered risk.
