$799 → $12,665. How Farit Recouped 15 Years of Losses in 2 Months

Farit is a 35-year-old business developer from Tatarstan who now lives in Malaysia. He launches fintech projects in different countries. Trading, for him, was a hobby. But over 15 years, this hobby ate up about $15,000 — and never once delivered stable results. Until Hash Hedge.

For $799 he got $100,000 under management, withdrew $12,665.46 net, and keeps trading. All in two months. Farit made it on his third attempt at $100K — and covered 15 years of previous losses with just a few payouts.

Farit was born in the small town of Bugulma in Tatarstan. He now lives in Malaysia and launches fintech businesses around the world for work. Trading has been part of his life for a long time, but always as a hobby.

He first encountered charts as a student 15 years ago, when forex companies were just appearing in the CIS.

Then — a long pause. Work, studies, career. And COVID.

Sitting at home during the pandemic, Farit started thinking about alternative income sources. About a safety cushion to ride out any storm. That’s how he came back to trading — but this time seriously.

He describes the last 4–5 years not as a trading period. But as a period of learning.

$15,000 is not collateral or loans. It’s his own income that went into the market. But the main problem wasn’t the money. It was that Farit knew exactly why he was losing it.

Here’s what he figured out about himself over those years:

Always he same pattern. Small size, big leverage. It worked once. Worked twice. Worked three times. And on the fourth — you’re sitting with nothing.

This isn’t just Farit’s story. It’s a systemic problem of small accounts. When capital is too small, any working strategy breaks — because the trader has no way to earn with reasonable risk. 1% of $500 = $5. Nobody trades for that. And the acceleration kicks in: leverage, inflated risks, “winning it back.”

The Barber and Odean (2000) study of 66,000 retail accounts showed: active traders with small accounts underperform the market by an average of 6.5% per year precisely because of elevated risks taken in an attempt to “pump up” the deposit. This is exactly what Farit had been fighting for 15 years.

Farit came to prop trading logically. Two options: borrowed capital or a prop firm.

He rejected borrowed capital immediately and categorically:

That left prop firms. But they used to exist only on Forex — and by that point, Farit was already working in crypto.

Why crypto:

• Accessibility. Register on an exchange — and you’re trading in 5 minutes.
• Innovation. Crypto is the future, you want to be part of that trend.
• Extended opportunities. Beyond trading — staking, liquid staking, airdrops. The same capital can be used in different scenarios.

Farit learned about Hash Hedge from a podcast with one of the best-known crypto influencers in the CIS — a platform ambassador. For Farit, that was enough to put Hash Hedge on his shortlist.

Despite trusting the platform, Farit started cautiously — with a $5,000 challenge.

The result — a couple of days later.

This is an important point. A lot of traders think small challenges are a “safe start.” In practice, it’s the same trap as a small personal deposit. The psyche reacts to the numbers the same way, regardless of whose money it is. Learn more about what a funded account is and how crypto prop trading works.

Farit abandoned the $5K challenge and moved straight up to bigger ones: he took two $100,000 challenges in parallel.

The idea was this: on one account trade only Bitcoin. On the other — only Ethereum. Compare the results.

The idea didn’t work. Not because the strategy was bad, but because focus matters more than strategy.

Blow-up #1: forgotten stop-loss on ETH

Blow-up #2: the global dump on October 10, 2025
Farit lost his second attempt during the global market crash on October 10, 2025. One day — and the account was closed. These two blow-ups are classics: losing focus between instruments and getting caught in a “black swan” without a protective stop — typical mistakes covered in detail in the guide prop firm challenges: how to pass them and get funded.

Third attempt: passed
Farit passed the third challenge by sticking to one hard rule: one instrument, one focus. Only Bitcoin. Stops are set before entering a position, not after.

It sounds like a small detail. But these small details are exactly what separate the ones who pass from the ones who blow up.

No complex indicators. No exotic systems.

• Instrument: BTC
• Timeframes: working with levels and zones of interest
• Indicators: only MA 50 and MA 200
• Logic: waits for price to come into a zone of interest, looks at candle patterns, determines who’s in control — sellers or buyers
• Risk per trade: 1% (working to bring it down to 0.5%)

This is backed by PipFarm data (survey of 2,777 prop traders, 2025): 37.8% of traders themselves name lack of discipline as their main problem, another 37.5% — emotional trading after losses. A simple strategy plus a strict focus on a single instrument is exactly what removes both of those traps. And that’s exactly what Farit achieved, but only on the third attempt.

• Entry: $2,397 (three challenges at $799 each)
• Capital under management: $100,000
• Withdrawn in 2 months: $12,665.46
• Return on investment: ×5.3
• Net profit relative to entry: +428%

Several payouts combined covered Farit’s 15 years of previous losses and left +$10,000 on top. And that’s on the third account, after two blow-ups.

Farit is one of the few who honestly talks about something most people keep quiet about.

Farit is fighting this pressure right now — aiming not for super-profits but for stability with lower risk. This is what Jared Tendler works on in “The Mental Game of Trading”: greed, impatience, and the urge to force results after the first wins are not character flaws but signals about gaps in approach that need to be worked on just as systematically as strategy.

That sentence is the core of his approach. Even if you have $100,000 of your own capital — it’s mathematically more profitable to put $799 into a challenge and get $100,000 under management than to trade your own deposit at the risk of losing everything.

Your maximum risk in prop is capped in advance by the cost of the challenge. Your potential earnings are not capped.

Farit keeps trading on Hash Hedge. His goal is to reach a stable equity curve and start withdrawing profits on a regular basis. He plans to reinvest part of his payouts into less risky crypto instruments, building up personal capital. But the main trading volume is through prop.

Farit’s story isn’t about luck or a magic strategy. It’s a story about a man who for 15 years knew exactly what his problem was but couldn’t solve it on his own. The problem wasn’t lack of knowledge or laziness. The problem was the size of his account.

A small deposit breaks the psyche — and breaks any system. Large capital removes that pressure and gives the trader back the ability to work by the rules. Hash Hedge provides that capital for $799. And the very first payouts covered 15 years of previous losses.

The next case study with Farit — when his equity curve stabilizes. For now — $12,665 withdrawn in two months, one working strategy, and large capital on which trading has finally started to bring in money.

Get funding up to $150,000 and trade like a professional.
