Create Your Checklist: How 20-Year-Old Oliwier Secured 15 Rewards

Success Stories
18 February 2026

At just 20 years old, Oliwier has already secured 15 rewards with The Trading Pit. His journey wasn’t built on hype, shortcuts, or overnight success. It was built on structure, discipline, and one defining tool: a mechanical checklist. 

Here is his story. 

From High School Graduate to Full Commitment 

Oliwier began trading one and a half years ago, right after graduating high school . 

He moved out to study and made a decision early: he didn’t want to rely entirely on his parents like most people his age . What started as curiosity through social media content turned into serious commitment after discovering structured education through a trading academy . 

When summer 2025 arrived and studies paused, he doubled down. That was the turning point. He began generating profits on his small personal account and decided to start taking prop firm challenges . 

The Rock Bottom That Changed Everything 

Oliwier started with a $200 personal account because he wanted real psychological pressure - not demo comfort . 

He nearly reached his goal of funding a challenge, climbing to 90% of his target within weeks. 

Then came the collapse. 

A losing streak. Emotional over-risking. Account blown . 

He had already “tasted” what progress felt like. That experience proved profitability wasn’t random - it was achievable. Instead of quitting, he reduced his capital to $100, focused on journaling, tracked data obsessively, and waited until he had statistical proof. 

When his live win rate crossed 40% and backtesting confirmed consistency, he took his first challenge - and passed it . 

The Rule That Built 15 Rewards 

The core theme of Oliwier’s success is mechanical structure. 

His advice is simple: 

Create a personalized entry checklist. 

Not someone else’s. 

Not copied. 

Not complicated. 

A detailed checklist aligned strictly with his own strategy . 

Before entering any trade, he forces himself to check each condition manually. If major boxes are not checked, the trade is invalid. Emotional setups rarely pass the checklist . 

Most emotional trades show only 30% of checklist conditions met - statistically low-quality setups . 

Strategy: Structure Over Complexity 

Oliwier’s trading model is structured but not overloaded. 

Core components: 

  • Market structure direction 

  • Impulses and liquidity “bumps” 

  • Premium vs. discount (50% Fibonacci retracement) 

  • Supply and demand zones 

  • Order flow shift confirmation before entry 

He does not isolate one “magic” rule. Every component matters. But he avoids overcomplication. 

Why The Trading Pit 

Oliwier discovered The Trading Pit through his trading community. 

The appeal was obvious: 

• No need for $100,000 personal capital 

• Limited personal risk 

• Structured drawdown rules 

• Scalable opportunity 

He emphasizes that The Trading Pit’s rules are simple and not overcomplicated compared to many firms . 

He risks: 
  • 2% per trade on challenges 

  • 1% per trade on funded accounts 

He applies an A/B structure: duplicating trades across two accounts to reduce probability of failure and smooth variance . 

With a 50% win rate, blowing accounts becomes statistically unlikely when risk is fixed and disciplined. 

This is risk engineering, not gambling. 

Silver: The Asset of Choice 

Although he started with forex pairs, silver became his primary focus . 

He reports: 

• Near 100% win rate on silver 

• 16% return since December 

Beyond technical movement, he sees macro reasoning: 

  • Limited supply 

  • Increasing industrial demand 

  • Silver-to-gold ratio imbalance 

But fundamentally, he trades structure - not news. 

Handling Losses Without Collapse 

His protocol after a loss: 
  • Walk away 

  • Take a shower 

  • Reset mentally 

He reframes losses in long-term context: 

One loss does not matter over 10 months . 

Revenge trading is filtered through the same checklist logic. If conditions aren’t met, the trade is rejected. 

The Advice He Would Give His Younger Self 

If he could restart his journey, he would say: 

Create the checklist. 

Do not quit. 

Losses are tuition. 

Rock bottom is part of the path. 

Consistency compounds. 

At 20 years old, with 15 rewards secured, Oliwier proves that structure beats emotion - and discipline scales faster than motivation.
