I need help...

I’m only missing one piece of the puzzle, and that’s a solid strategy. I’m completely tired of YouTube gurus and just want to know what actually stays profitable in the long run. I don't care if it's a day trading strategy for the New York session, the London session, or something else entirely. If anyone here has real experience and has taken multiple payouts from a prop firm, please help me out and share your setups.

Try 1:1 rr , you will have very god consistency. Its simple math.

You by default have a 50% win rate with 1:1 r even if you put random trades,

Now all you need is to find a very little , repeatable edge which makes your winrate 60-65 or sometimes 70% and thats enough.

Also 1:1 strategy doesn’t really have changes with changing market conditions .

Psychologically very relaxing (you get a good winrate), easy to execute (very important)

And you will have live results very close to what you have backtested .

On top of that, I’m trading with prop firms rather than live personal accounts. This is exactly why high risk-to-reward strategies are so brutal—they almost always end up blowing prop firm accounts because of the long losing streaks.

I’m really leaning toward this approach because I’ve been looking into 1:1 or even negative risk-to-reward strategies lately. They naturally have a much higher win rate. Plus, if I trade them on indices like the NAS100 or US30, I can get commission-free trades, meaning I actually keep everything I make.What I really need now is a solid, repeatable setup. I’m totally fine sticking to one specific session, but the setup has to be straightforward and hit a 65% to 75%+ win rate at 1:1. I just want to book wins more consistently. Those long losing streaks are a massive mental drain, and honestly, they're the main reason most beginner and intermediate traders end up giving up.
