From setting up home internet installations to managing six-figure funded trading accounts, Muhammad’s story is one of dedication, growth, and smart transition.
In this in-depth success story, we sit down with Muhammad—also known as Mr. Goud—to explore how he went from learning Forex on YouTube in 2009 to becoming a fully funded prop trader in 2023. His journey is a blueprint for traders looking to leave traditional jobs behind and enter the world of high-capital trading.
Starting from the Ground Up
Muhammad's trading journey began while working in network installation back in 2007. Hearing his customers talk about Forex sparked his interest. By 2009, he was actively studying Forex markets through platforms like BabyPips and YouTube, guided by educators like Navin Prithyani.
His learning wasn't limited to online content—Muhammad also invested in mentorship programs and courses, some of them quite expensive. But like many, his early attempts at retail trading yielded limited results.
From Retail to Prop Trading
The turning point came in 2022 when Muhammad discovered prop trading. Unlike retail trading, which required large amounts of personal capital, prop trading gave him the opportunity to manage $50K, $100K, even $200K funded accounts—without risking his own money upfront.
In March 2023, he passed his first prop challenge and entered the funded phase. Within the first 30 days, Muhammad made over $23,000 in profit—enough to walk away from his previous job and go full-time.
Trading with a Purpose
One of the biggest reasons Muhammad pursued full-time trading was to spend more quality time with his family. No more long commutes or late nights at the office—just the flexibility to work from home and be present.
