# Trading Roadmap — Bill & Colette
|
||||
|
||||
## Target Outcome
|
||||
Pass a prop firm challenge and trade a firm account for income.
|
||||
|
||||
## Timeline (estimated)
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Month 1 [Phase 1] Foundations + TradingView setup
|
||||
Month 2 [Phase 2] Technical Analysis
|
||||
Month 3-4 [Phase 3] Strategy Development + Backtesting
|
||||
Month 5-6 [Phase 4] Paper Trading (live simulation)
|
||||
Month 7 [Phase 5] Prop Challenge Prep
|
||||
Month 8+ [Phase 6] Challenge Attempt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This is a realistic timeline if you put in 5–10 hours/week.
|
||||
Rushing phases 3–5 is the most common mistake — a strategy needs real testing time.
|
||||
|
||||
## Prop Firm Options (to decide by end of Sprint 01)
|
||||
|
||||
| Firm | Challenge Cost | Account Size | Rules |
|
||||
|------|---------------|--------------|-------|
|
||||
| Apex Trader Funding | $167 | $50K sim | Popular for futures |
|
||||
| TopStep | $165 | $50K sim | Futures focused |
|
||||
| FTMO | ~$155 | $10K | Forex/stocks |
|
||||
| MyFundedFutures | varies | varies | Futures |
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Principles
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Never risk more than 1% per trade** during paper trading — practice the habit now
|
||||
2. **Journal every trade** — no journal = no improvement
|
||||
3. **Backtest before you trust** — a strategy that "feels right" is not a strategy
|
||||
4. **Paper trading results are optimistic** — live will be harder
|
||||
5. **Pass 2 simulated challenges before paying for a real one**
|
||||
