Running a restaurant, raising a child, and preparing for another on the way - Faye’s life is nonstop. But amidst the chaos, she built the focus and discipline needed to succeed in trading. Today, she’s one of The Trading Pit’s standout traders, recently securing her largest reward so far.
Her story is all about resilience, consistency, and never giving up.
Background
Faye, based in Ireland, discovered trading through crypto before diving deeper into Forex. Over the last two years, she faced the struggles many beginners encounter - blown accounts, misinformation, unreliable firms, and psychological hurdles.
But she kept pushing.
“I wouldn’t say I’m fully professional yet,” she shares. “But I’m definitely getting there - and this reward was a huge personal milestone.”
Why The Trading Pit?
Before joining TTP, Faye experienced multiple firms that shut down, withheld accounts, or stopped communicating after she passed challenges. That changed when she joined The Trading Pit.
What stood out?
“With other firms, it felt like they were looking for reasons not to pay. With TTP, there’s communication - you always feel like you’re dealing with real people.”

Her biggest payout was a $16,500 that was earned through structured, focused trading of Gold (XAU/USD) and US30
