Funded Trader Insights: Chit Min & Geanpiere Carrion

Welcome to another Funded Trader Insights feature, where we skip the hype and share real stories from inside the FundingTraders community. Funded trading rewards the disciplined, and the two traders profiled here, Chit Min and Geanpiere Carrion, show that perseverance, sharp risk management, and the right mindset matter more than any single setup. As a proprietary trading firm, FundingTraders exists to turn skilled traders into funded traders trading real capital. In the conversations below, you’ll learn how emotional control, patience, and consistency carried both men from blown accounts to lasting success, and what their habits can teach anyone chasing a funded trading account.

Quick Summary Box

In this funded trader spotlight, two very different paths land on the same truth. Chit Min, a Price Action trader with over two years of screen time, explains how controlling his emotions finally helped him pass the trading challenge after blowing several funded accounts. Geanpiere Carrion, a five-year chart watcher who trades Gold and the Nasdaq, shares how treating losses as a business cost transformed his prop trading mindset. Together they unpack trading strategies, day-to-day risk management, the value of trading journals, and what it truly takes to earn, and keep, funded status with a modern prop firm that runs on transparent rules and consistent payouts.

Funded Trading Lessons From Two Different Traders

Not every trader reaches funding the same way, and these Funded Trader Insights prove it. These two come from very different corners of the trading world, one found clarity in simple Price Action; the other found freedom in trusting his numbers over the long run. Yet both arrived at the same place through discipline, consistency, and a refusal to let one bad day define them. Their stories are a reminder that prop trading success is built on strong habits, not lucky streaks.

Trader Chit Min

After two-plus years and several blown accounts, Chit Min’s breakthrough was emotional control, not a new setup. He dropped indicators entirely for pure Price Action, the one approach that fit him, and his advice reflects it: find the strategy that works for you, learn from every mistake, and keep going, because “you only lose when you quit.”

Let’s start at the beginning, how long have you been trading, and what pulled you toward this path in the first place?

I have been trading for over 2 years now. I chose trading because trading is unlike any other career, I believed it aligns well with my personal goals and working style.

Passing a challenge is as much mental as technical. What was the biggest mindset shift that finally got you there?

The biggest mindset shift to pass the challenges was controlling my emotions and trying not to be angry and it really helps me a lot.

You’ve been candid about blowing accounts along the way. What kept you from walking away during those setbacks?

Even though I’ve blown so many accounts, I always remind myself to never give up and keep trying. Losing the challenges doesn’t mean I fail, I just have to keep pushing forward.

Looking back, is there one mistake that taught you more than any other?

One of the mistakes I made was letting my emotions control me. Trading with emotions doesn’t make us a good trader.

For the trader reading this who’s one bad week away from quitting, what would you tell them?

My advice to other traders is : no matter how much you lose, you gotta keep pushing forward and learn from the mistakes that you have made. Keep going with the mindset that you only lose when you quit. So no matter what happens all you gotta do is stay focused, don’t compare yourself to others, be strong, learn from the mistakes and keep going.

Can you give us a closer look at how you actually trade, the strategy you landed on, and the advice behind it?

When I first started trading, I tried many different strategies, like Support and Resistances, Indicators and so on. But none of them work for me. After experimenting with various strategies, I finally found the one that suits me best, which is trading based on Price Action. Now, I don’t use any other strategies and indicators at all. What I want to say to the traders is : go and find the strategies that perfectly work for you and try to control your emotions, that will really help you a lot.

Chit Min’s story proves it: the right strategy plus emotional control beats luck every time. Ready to find the edge that fits you? Start your evaluation today and use code FT50 for 50% off any account size from $5K to $200K.

Trader Geanpiere Carrion

Five years of charts taught Geanpiere that the edge is psychological. He learned to treat losses as “just a business cost,” and his hardest lesson, revenge trading, taught him real discipline. He scalps Gold and the Nasdaq intraday, and his best trades came from staying calm and trailing his stop loss candle by candle. His advice: be patient and trust a tested process.

Five years of watching charts is serious commitment. How did your journey into the markets actually begin?

I’ve been watching charts for over five years now. At first, it was pure curiosity: I saw these charts moving, I wanted to understand how they worked, and from there, I just dived in.

When it came time to pass your evaluation, what was the most important mental shift for you

Understanding that losing is part of the game. Before, I saw losses as failures, then I made the mental switch: I realized that losses are just a business cost, part of the strategy. That changed everything.

What was the toughest obstacle standing between you and funding, and how did you get past it

Yes, and the biggest obstacle was the psychological setbacks after losses, which hold me back. I overcame them when I stopped focusing on single trades and started looking at things in the long term, trusting the numbers in my strategy.

Every trader has a mistake that stings. Which one taught you the most about discipline?

Without a doubt, revenge trading. The biggest mistake I made was immediately opening another trade after a loss, just out of a rush to get my money back. That destroys your account and is the mistake that taught me true discipline.

What’s your message to a trader who’s ready to give up entirely?

Don’t give up and be patient. If you’ve studied and tested your strategy, trust the process and keep going, because results always come when you least expect them.

Tell us about your trading itself, your favorite instruments, your style, and what your best trade looked like.

My favorite assets are Gold (XAUUSD) and the Nasdaq, and I trade primarily through scalping or intraday trading, closing everything out within the day. My best trades ever were made by remaining completely calm and clear-headed, managing the position without anxiety and following the price by raising the stop loss candle after candle, thus protecting the profit as the market pushed in my favor.

What would your trading look like if every loss became a lesson instead of a setback? That mindset, the one Geanpiere built through hard experience, is exactly the discipline FundingTraders is designed to reward.

Conclusion

Strip away the differences and the same blueprint emerges. Both traders treat risk management as the foundation, not an afterthought; both learned to recognize their emotional triggers before those triggers cost them an account; and both know that honest tracking, the work trading journals make possible, is how confidence is earned. Reviewing entries, exit points, and performance metrics turns scattered trades into actionable insight and helps traders manage risk through winning and losing streaks alike.

Stories like these are why FundingTraders publishes these Funded Trader Insights. Our funded trader programs are built to reward skill, not gamble on it, giving disciplined traders access to larger accounts, fast and consistent payouts, professional platforms, and a supportive community. The model is simple: prove consistency, respect the rules, and scale toward bigger capital and a meaningful profit split. Past results never guarantee future performance, but discipline shown every day is how a small account becomes one of the larger ones on the desk.

The throughline is impossible to miss: discipline, risk management, and the consistency to repeat good decisions when it’s hard. Chit Min found his edge in Price Action and emotional control; Geanpiere Carrion found his in patience and trusting the process. Neither path was straight, but both led to funding. If their journeys resonate, the next move is yours.
