From No Trading Plan to Funded Payouts: Jaša’s Macro Mentorship Story

Where Jaša started: no plan, no macro, no strategy

When Jaša first came to the desk he was in the same place most retail traders are stuck in for years. He did not have a macro framework. He did not have a defined plan. He did not have a repeatable strategy. He was trading the way most people trade, reacting to charts without a structural reason for being in a position, and the funded-account evaluations kept ending the same way.

The problem was never effort. By his own account he had put in years of sleepless nights and missed the parties his friends went to. The problem was that effort without a framework compounds into frustration, not results. Hard work pointed at the wrong process does not become a funded account.

What the mentorship actually changed

The mentorship did not hand Jaša a signal feed or a shortcut. There is no shortcut, and the desk does not sell one. What the mentorship did was build out a structured macro approach from the ground up: a defined process for reading the regime across rates, inflation, the dollar, risk and positioning, a method for sizing risk asymmetrically so winners are larger than losers, and the discipline to execute the same process every time instead of improvising.

Jaša’s own charts from this period show the shift. EUR/USD and GBP/USD on the hourly, marked up with a clear directional macro thesis and defined entries, not random reaction. That is the difference between trading with a framework and trading without one. The framework is in the desk’s free macro framework, the full build-out is the Macro Trading Blueprint, and the 1-on-1 calibration is the mentorship itself.

The documented timeline

Every milestone below is documented and verifiable through the prop firm’s own certificate and payout-verification systems. These are Jaša’s individual, verified results, shared with his consent. They are not typical.

• 26 February 2026, passed the FTMO Challenge, the first phase of the evaluation.
• 12 March 2026, passed FTMO Verification, completing the full evaluation process and earning a funded account.
• 2 April 2026, first funded reward, 535 dollars.
• 30 April 2026, funded reward of 1,963 dollars.
• 5 May 2026, in his own words: “It’s only May 5th and I already made freaking 6k through all my Funded combined. That’s my biggest win yet.”
• 15 May 2026, a further reward of 2,835 dollars, taking his documented FTMO overall rewards to 5,334 dollars at the Bronze tier, alongside a separate Ufunded track record showing a 90,000 dollar allocation and four verified payouts.

The honest number most people would hide

Jaša’s verified track record shows a 48.28 per cent win rate. Under half his trades won. Most marketing would bury that. The desk leads with it, because it is the entire point.

A sub-50 per cent win rate that still produces consistent payouts is not a flaw, it is the signature of a real edge. The edge is not in being right more often. It is in the macro framework sizing the winners larger than the losers and cutting the losers fast, so positive expectancy comes from the asymmetry, not the hit rate. Anyone selling you a 90 per cent win rate is selling you a story. A disciplined macro process with a sub-50 per cent win rate and positive expectancy is what actually survives a funded evaluation. That is what the mentorship builds.

In his own words

“So happy I took the Mentorship man, thankyou. Now first payout and then new challenge.”

“It’s only May 5th and I already made freaking 6k through all my Funded combined. That’s my biggest win yet. I just can’t believe man.”

“Every sleepless night and all the work I put in for the past couple of years is starting to show.”

The emotion in those messages is not about the money alone. It is about years of effort finally pointing at the right process. That is what the desk is actually selling: not a result, a framework and the discipline to run it.

What this does and does not mean for you

It does not mean you will get the same result. Most people who attempt funded trading never reach consistent payouts, and nothing here changes that base rate. Jaša put in documented, sustained work over months and still had losing trades on under half his positions.

What it does mean is that the gap between where most retail traders are stuck and a documented funded run is, in at least one verified case, a structured macro framework and the discipline to run it, not more screen time or a better indicator. The desk built that framework with Jaša 1-on-1. The same framework, at three levels of depth, is below.
