06:42[00:02] trading challenge with only $100 and the goal for this year 2026 is to go from $100 to $100,000. I'm going to record the whole process and you'll be able to see it Instagram. But wait, let me explain a little better because otherwise nothing
[00:16] will make sense. Yesterday I made a video saying that for 2026 I wanted a challenge that was really difficult, that really meant putting all my potential and all my concentration into this project for this
[00:30] year. And what I offered you through my Instagram and through a short video I uploaded here on the YouTube channel was that if we reached 100 likes, I was going to try to get $100,000 with just a $100 bill. And
[00:43] well, luckily we've reached our goal, I've received a lot of support. goal, I think it was 100 likes, well, it was 100 likes and now I think we're at around 300 likes already. So it's excellent because they've supported me a lot. The
[00:56] basic idea of this project, of this year's challenge, is to reach $100,000 with $100. But how are we going to do it? No, we all know that $100 is not enough for such an investment, but what I did was something
[01:10] good, quite sneaky and obvious, but it was to buy a buy a $10,000 funding account with that $100 bill. I bought that funding account at Prop XP. Yes, that's great, I'll
[01:24] tell you a little about the screen. I bought that funding account here at Prop XP. This is the little you can see the full screen. This is the little account I bought. It's a $10,000 account. Today I had my first operation. I earned $209 with 1, as you can see
[01:40] below, but the commission has been deducted and I'm left with 10,180, that is, a positive 1.8% as I go towards the challenge. This was the little account I bought with those $100. If
[01:52] leave the link in the description. And to buy yours, you can do it from up here on the left where it says new challenge, and you should simply enter all the information to buy your account. The
[02:05] code will always give you a discount, usually 20%, but currently on this day, January 7, 2026, it will give you 50%. For example, a one-stage account, which is like the one I
[02:18] bought, with a 10% target, can reach $10,000, which is the one I bought. for $100. But as I said, if you enter the code and click discount, which, as I mentioned, is 50% today, so for just
[02:35] $50 you could also start with a one-phase $10,000 account . Yes, they reach 10% and are already funded. From then on, they can keep 80% of the profit they generate .
[02:49] Good. Uh, they also have Adons if they operate operations open on weekends, they can also get a higher percentage of the commissions when funding and so on. Here you have
[03:03] all the rules and everything according to my way of operating; this account works perfectly for me. I only risk 1% daily and aim for 2%, and I only trade once a day and on one pair only. So the rules below
[03:16] don't affect me at all because losing 3% is impossible for me since I don't risk more than one per day. And losing 6%, well, that's a possibility because I could have a bad streak and lose several times in a row
[03:30] and end up losing the account, but we're going to do our best to try and pass this challenge and keep accumulating money until we reach $100,000 in 2026. That's the idea for this year.
[03:45] 2026. That's the idea for this year. Perfect. Um, how are we going to manage? Well, or how you could do it with me. The idea is as follows. Every day, I upload a daily video to my YouTube channel
[03:57] where I basically tell you if I'm going to trade in buys or sells, that is, up or down. Yes, I uploaded it today, it's the billboard of the day, that is, the address of the day, where, well, I uploaded the analysis and told them
[04:09] that I expected purchases. Today the analysis came out excellent, so I already entered the first operation which is also documented, which was this one we have here. Luckily I was able to generate this 2 % return on this trade, obviously with my
[04:24] strategy, my direction, and all my applied concepts, which I don't teach on the channel, but it's true that you can learn it if you join my academy, but anyway, I'll tell you about that in a little while. The idea is basically to
[04:37] trade based on the direction of the day that I publish on YouTube. This means that if you watch my daily analysis that I upload to YouTube every morning, you'll already know whether I'm going to make buys or sells. Obviously, you won't
[04:49] exact point at which I have my stop loss or my take profit, because that's not the idea; this isn't copy trading, it's simply a challenge I set for myself and I want to share it with you this year. I hope I can do it and I hope I don't fail,
[05:02] but well, obviously there's always the option of failing, right? There's also the option to win, so that's why we 're here, to try to win. And well, basically every day I upload the address of the day and I'm going to
[05:15] complement it with the second- by-second story of how the operation is going, how it's coming, whether it was won or lost on my Instagram. Yes, today I uploaded Instagram. Yes, today I uploaded this reel where I showed you how
[05:29] the operation was going, which you can see if you want here on my Instagram, I also uploaded the video, well, precisely of 100 L that has 192, I thought it here. Okay, here, well, now presenting the
[05:42] challenge, buying the account with the $100, as I just mentioned, and the you want to see it, it's there. He also did a highlight story about a $100 challenge, which you can see out there. Okay, all of this, as I said, you
[05:58] can see and experience with me, okay? You can go to the addresses for the day where I will also share the results from the previous day, here, like now that I showed you the first operation that was won and the
[06:12] start doing it on a daily basis. So, tomorrow you will be but tomorrow you will see the address for the day. I'm also going to tell you that I won the trade for those who don't watch this video, and the day after tomorrow we'll see
[06:29] if tomorrow's trade was correct, if I made it, if I didn't, and if I won or didn't win, and we'll keep track of the results in each of the day's directions. That is the methodology and the goal for this year 2026, to make
[06:42] $100,000 with only $100. Making a living from trading is possible. I've been doing live training for over 2 years, almost 3 years, and you can find replays of all my real results from a lot of people who have followed me just by watching
[06:55] my live streams or who have generated profits just with the strategies I have published here on the channel. And also, obviously, my dear students who are here on the school platform already have results in a very short time.
[07:08] interact with the community, watch the recorded course, and also a live trading classes and live trading sessions that you can watch. So academy to learn my strategy and not only see the direction of the day,
[07:22] but also see the direction of the day, know at what exact point I am going to enter and so inside and also learn the strategy. They will know because I will tell them and also because they will learn the strategy itself. It has been
[07:35] exactly 68 days since I opened the academy. Not everyone got in on day one, it should be noted, and these are the results of my students. Emanuel, for example, has already invested $5,000. Here he sent a message of thanks. This
[07:49] is his funded account of $5,000, which makes him very, very happy. Excellent. This way , Manuel. We also have Luis Quiñones who passed the first phase, and Quiñones who passed the first phase, and Lorenzo who is also
[08:02] also have the first phase inside, which shared motivation from Hector Sepra, shared motivation from Hector Sepra, who not only passed the first one, but also the second, and has achieved a retirement in the third . We have Matías Jara who
[08:17] started at -7% and has already passed phase one, he is in phase two of a $100,000 challenge. We have Juan, who was the first to fund himself with $50,000 at the academy in the first few days he joined and has already withdrawn $193 for the second time.
[08:32] Raymond's first retirement. And well, as you can see, the results are there for all to showing them to you here, but because I do live trading and you have all the replays and it's all documented on the YouTube channel. I hope you like them and that you'll
[08:44] leave a comment, a like, subscribe, and activate the bell so you don't miss anything, neither the daily advice , nor the results, nor the videos that I'll be making to learn and improve in
[08:58] provide as always. I'm also going to do some live training sessions , operating this challenge live. It's not going to be the most common thing in the world, but it's true that I'm going to do it once or twice a week. So if you
[09:11] want to do business with me, you can do so without any problem. All you activate the bell, and if you want to join the academy, as I mentioned, I've included the link in the description: matinmadernam.com/academia.
[09:23] That way you can join the academy and learn real trading and start 2026 in the best possible way. The truth is that it's a challenge that makes me kind of nervous, but I also really like pushing myself to the limit to see
[09:39] also documenting it so that you can experience the process, the step by step, the day-to-day of how this challenge unfolds. Thank you all so much for watching this video. Don't forget to like, comment, turn on notifications, and if you
