A Trader’s Beginning
Every trader starts with ambition, but turning that ambition into consistent success is the true challenge. Tijn’s story is proof of what happens when discipline meets opportunity. In just six months, he has earned over $5,000 in rewards and built the foundation for a sustainable trading career.
Getting Started in the Markets
Tijn’s journey began in late 2021 after being introduced to trading by a friend. Inspired by books and driven by curiosity, he stepped into the markets with big goals. Like many beginners, he first believed success could come quickly, only to discover that patience, structure, and perseverance were key to lasting results.
Why He Chose The Trading Pit
After testing different paths, Tijn found The Trading Pit to be the right partner for his trading goals. What impressed him most was the clarity of the rules, the reliability of rewards, and the personal support he received from his account manager. For him, The Trading Pit offered the trust and structure he needed to grow as a trader.
Turning Effort into Results
Within just half a year, Tijn secured multiple rewards, with his very first one reaching $2,000—a moment that confirmed his strategy and discipline were working. Since then, he has maintained consistent results and steadily grown his funded accounts.
How He Trades
Tijn approaches the markets with structure and flexibility. His analysis starts with the weekly and daily timeframes, focusing on supply and demand zones combined with overall market structure. He trades across forex, gold, and indices, using lower timeframes to fine-tune entries. Beyond strategy, he highlights that psychology and discipline are what separate consistent traders from inconsistent ones.
Lessons for New Traders
For those just starting out, Tijn offers two pieces of advice:
Don’t jump into challenges too early. Take time to learn and avoid costly mistakes at the beginning.
Build strong habits instead of chasing quick wins. Success comes from routines, discipline, and thinking in probabilities, not from shortcuts.
What’s Next
With strong results behind him and clear goals ahead, Tijn is focused on scaling his funded accounts while continuing to strengthen his psychology and trading process. His journey with The Trading Pit shows that consistency, patience, and the right support can turn a beginner into a profitable trader.
