The Story

Discover how one trader reached over $75,000+ in payout share with discipline, strategy, and Traderscale’s support.

Nicole is a female trader from Ireland.

A fun fact about Nicole is that she has been part of the Traderscale community from the very beginning. Over her time trading with us, she has received eight payouts. Nicole spent several accounts refining her strategy before achieving her first payout, which came after trading nine accounts. Her persistence and discipline are a great example for our community.

Nicole purchased an account with Traderscale with the intention of scaling her profits after beginning trading on a personal account over COVID.

Like many traders journeys, Nicole did not see instant profit, where it took nine accounts before her strategy started paying off.

In her words

Speedy accounts: $75k+ in payouts

  1. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your background?

    Before trading, I was a self-employed beauty therapist and owned my own salon. However, during the pandemic, with more free time, I started seeing ads on Instagram about trading and took an interest. I began trading indices and stocks, then branched into FX, and now I only trade XAUUSD.

  2. How did you first get into trading, and how long have you been involved in the markets?

    I began trading in 2020, so it’s been nearly six years now. Initially, I was drawn in by flashy social media results, and unfortunately, I fell into the “get rich quick” mindset which humbled me quickly. Over time, I realised that true success in trading requires patience, discipline, and skill.

    After learning some hard lessons, I decided to approach trading as a real profession rather than a quick win. I started off following a signal provider, something that might seem appealing at first but isn’t sustainable long term. Eventually, I decided to invest my time and money into a mentorship, which has truly helped me become the trader I am today.

  3. What does your trading plan look like, and how has it contributed to your success?

    My trading plan is simple but structured. Each week, I start by marking major zones on the higher timeframes, then refine my entries on the 15 minute chart. I risk 0.5% per trade and target 1:1 or 1:2 setups. Once a trade moves 20 pips in profit, I move my stop loss to entry. If a trade starts to stall, I trail my stop to protect capital and look for another entry.

    I only focus on XAUUSD, which helps reduce noise from looking at multiple pairs, and I feel this is where I’m most successful. A big rule for me is to avoid trading on Fridays, I like to finish the week clear headed. This balance keeps me emotionally grounded and consistently profitable.

  4. How many accounts did you blow before you finally started to see consistency?

    Honestly, I lost count. I’ve traded with several major prop firms over the years. I now see those early accounts as investments in my education. At that time, I wasn’t emotionally or mentally ready to trade.

    Joining Traderscale changed that, the consistency rule really helped me lock in my discipline and maintain steady results rather than chasing big profits.

  5. Could you share a challenge you faced in your trading journey and how you overcame it?

    My biggest challenge was capital chasing. I was more focused on passing challenges quickly than trading well, which led to repeated failures.

    Once I joined Traderscale, I learned to slow down, follow the rules, and focus on consistency instead of rushing. I also learned to be content with hitting my daily target and calling it a day, instead of re-entering and risking my profits.

  6. How do you approach risk management, and how has it shaped your results?

    Risk management should always be a trader’s top priority. I risk 0.5% per trade and always protect profits by moving my stop loss to entry or into profit when possible.

    I focus on monthly percentage goals rather than daily wins, which helps me detach emotionally from dollar amounts. Thinking in percentages instead of money keeps me steady and disciplined.

  7. Looking back, what has been a key turning point in your trading career?

    Honestly, it’s been joining Traderscale. After trading successfully with other well known prop firms, I feel I’ve finally found the structure I needed. The consistency rule might not be popular with everyone, but it taught me to control greed and trade like a professional.

  8. What do you believe helped you become a consistent trader?

    Two things: Traderscale’s structure and the right mentorship. Instead of paying for signals, I invested in a mentor who helped me build a real strategy.

    A signal provider might disappear tomorrow but when you have your own system, you’ll always have confidence in your ability to trade.

  9. What mindset or qualities give you an edge as a trader?

    Adaptability. You can’t get married to a trade if the market shifts, it’s okay to change your bias. Maintaining a clear, unemotional mindset and knowing when to step away have been key to avoiding revenge trading and protecting my capital.

  10. How has trading with Traderscale compared to trading on your own?

    It’s been a complete game changer. Traderscale gave me the capital to trade professionally while holding me accountable to rules that shaped me into a better trader.

    When I traded my own capital, emotions and greed often took over. With Traderscale’s structure, I’ve stayed consistent and achieved major payouts.

  11. How long have you been with Traderscale?

    Just over one year now.

  12. What advice would you give to someone just starting out with us?

    Take your time, it’s not a race. Read the rules carefully or reach out to support if you’re unsure. Many negative experiences come from traders who didn’t fully understand or follow the rules, but in my experience, Traderscale has been incredibly supportive and quick to help resolve any issues.

    Remember, your only competition is yourself. Aim to be better than you were yesterday,the milestones will follow.
