He discusses how his background in finance and personal dedication to studying the markets have shaped his approach. Daniel emphasizes the importance of finding the right trading session and instruments, revealing that the New York session and indices like US30 and Nasdaq have been key to his success.

Overall, his advice is rooted in consistency, careful risk management, and learning from past mistakes.
Hello and welcome to the first in a series of interviews that we here at OFP will be having with some of our more successful traders. The aim of the interviews is to give those watching an understanding of what the traders learn, their approaches to trading, and anything they think is important for other people to know. Today, we’ll be interviewing Daniel, one of our more successful traders who has been with us for a couple of months.
OFP is a proprietary trading company that was set up in 2021. It aims to give traders access to instant capital when they don’t have access themselves. OFP aims to differentiate itself from other prop trading companies through its greater trader independence. This can be seen through a lack of verification challenges, allowance of news trading, and also the fact that the payout rate is 34%, compared to the industry standard of only 2%. This 2% is often caused by people not meeting the verification challenges that companies set for their traders, before giving them a funded account. Instead of this, OFP gives direct access to funded accounts from day one. This greater trader autonomy allows people to take their own journey through proprietary trading and also means as long as rules aren’t broken, everyone can enjoy trading as it’s meant to be.
Daniel has been trading seriously for about two years, but his passion for the markets goes back eight years. At 24, he’s now seeing trading as a possible long-term career. His background in finance helped, but most of his real knowledge came from studying the markets himself. Like many, the pandemic pushed him to dive deeper into trading after losing a part-time job. He started exploring trading strategies after seeing the allure of financial freedom on YouTube, but soon realized the importance of discipline and consistency.
Daniel is laser-focused on the New York session, trading between 9:00 AM and 11:30 AM Toronto time. He’s tried the London and Asian sessions, but found his success shines brightest with New York’s volatility. US30 and Nasdaq are his go-to pairs—he appreciates how well they follow market structure and respond to economic news. He dabbled in gold and GBP/JPY but found them too volatile.
When it comes to mindset, Daniel emphasizes the importance of trading in a calm, focused environment. He’s most productive when working from his home setup, complete with multiple monitors. Distractions? Not for him—Daniel knows that being in the right headspace is key to executing winning trades.

Like every trader, Daniel has faced his share of challenges. He admits he trades aggressively and had to learn the hard way about the importance of risk management. He also realized that cutting trades too early cost him bigger profits. Instead of letting trades run to maximize returns, he found himself exiting too soon, missing out on 1:3 or even 1:4 risk-to-reward ratios. But with every loss, Daniel has taken away valuable lessons about patience and trust in his strategy.
Daniel’s mindset has evolved significantly since he joined OFP. Early on, he struggled with the fear of missing out (FOMO) and took impulsive trades while traveling. Now, he embraces the idea that it’s okay to miss out on trades. Patience, he’s learned, is critical to success. Rather than forcing trades, Daniel waits for setups that align with his strategy. This shift in mentality has helped him avoid unnecessary losses and stay calm under pressure.
His advice to fellow traders? “Stick to your plan. When your strategy aligns with a trade setup, trust it. Deviating from your plan often leads to losses, but consistency builds long-term success.”
We hope you enjoyed getting to know Daniel and gaining insight into his trading journey. His dedication to refining his strategy and mindset is a testament to the growth and determination we love to see in our OFP traders.
