About
Funded Mindset is about the part of trading most people skip: the psychology. Discipline, patience, handling losses, and not blowing up prop firm accounts.
Who I am
I'm Harout Mkrtchyan. I've been trading futures with prop firms for over six years, across multiple instruments including NQ, ES and GC (gold).
Over that time I've learned that the hardest part of trading isn't finding a strategy. It's following one. This site is where I share the rules and lessons that actually kept my accounts alive.
Why this site exists
Most trading psychology content is generic advice written by companies selling courses or brokerage accounts. This site is written from real experience on funded accounts: what actually went wrong, what fixed it, and the rules that stuck.
What you won't find here
- Trade signals or "buy this" recommendations
- Promises of easy money
- Generic tips that don't work when you're down $500 at 10am
How to use this website
Funded Mindset publishes educational articles about trading habits and decision-making. The examples and checklists are intended to help readers reflect on their own process; they are not trading signals or instructions to enter a particular position.
Personal experiences are identified as such. Examples are not independently verified trading results, and they should not be treated as evidence that a strategy will be profitable. Readers should independently evaluate any trading method, account rules, and financial risks before acting.
Questions or corrections

Nothing on this site is financial advice. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.
