Mo's strategy works in the sense that most of his calls close in profit: 67% to 68% of the 4,767 trades TTMT users have copied from his two channels finished green. It does not work in the sense people usually mean, because over the last 90 days only 5 of 27 trader-channel results on those channels were positive. The strategy and the outcome are two different questions, and the rest of this explains why the second one turns out the way it does.
The numbers themselves, with what each one counts, are in what 4,767 copied trades show. This post is about the mechanics.
What he actually trades
Three things, in combination.
Levels, not indicators. Support, resistance, and the trendline connecting the recent swings. He buys near the bottom of a range he considers valid and sells near the top, and he waits for price to break a level and come back to it rather than chasing the break itself.
A zone instead of a price. The entry is a band. A call reads as a range of several dollars on gold, which is his way of saying anywhere in here is a valid fill for this idea. That band is the single most important part of his format and the part most copiers throw away.
A stop that is wider than the targets. He gives the trade room to go against him before it works, and takes profit in pieces on the way out. This is the shape that produces a high win rate, and it is also the shape that concentrates the damage into the trades that fail.
The layering, and what it costs
Mo adds to a position as price moves into his zone rather than putting everything in at the first price. Done with a fixed total size, that is a layered entry and it improves your average fill.
Done as martingale, which is how it is often described, each added layer is larger than the last. The average entry improves faster, and so does the size of the position sitting in a trade that has already moved against you. Those are the same property seen from two sides.
The distinction that matters is not the shape of the ladder. It is whether the ladder is your whole position or a multiple of it.
If you decide your risk first and split that across four layers, a full fill is the position you intended. If each layer is sized as a full position, a full fill is four times the risk you agreed to, and nothing tells you that until all four are on. It is the most expensive mistake in this style and it is silent right up until it is not.
Our own data has a matching figure. The median trader on the VIP channel has, at some point, watched 36.5% of their gains on it disappear from a peak. Not one unlucky account. The middle of the distribution.
Why the win rate does not become a bank balance
Take a shape where wins are small and frequent and losses are rare and large. Nine trades: six winners at one unit each, three losers at two and a half. Win rate 67%. Net: minus one and a half units.
I am not claiming those are Mo's exact numbers, and the ratio varies by setup. The point is that a 67% win rate carries no information about profit on its own, and a channel posting one is not making a false claim when its followers are flat.
Then execution takes its cut on top. Enter at the top of a zone that was meant to be averaged into, and every target is further away while the stop stays where it was. Miss the follow-up that moves the stop, and a trade that was in profit closes red. That part is not the provider's.
What to check before you follow this style
Does your copier use the zone? If it takes one price, you are running a different trade from the one posted.
Is your risk defined as a percentage? His stop distance varies between setups. Fixed lots means your real risk per trade varies with it.
Does a full fill fit inside your daily limit? On a prop challenge, model the worst case where every layer fills and the trade goes to the stop. If that breaches your daily loss limit, the setup is too big regardless of how often it wins.
Are you following him and another gold channel? Correlated setups in the same session are one position, sized twice.
Can you see what your tool read? The original message next to the numbers extracted from it. Without that you are trusting software with your account on the strength of its marketing.
The honest answer
His method is coherent, it is taught rather than just posted, and the trade record we have from copying it is consistent with what he publishes. That is more than can be said for most of this industry.
Whether it works for you depends on the stop distance you can actually hold, the size you take, and whether you get his zone or the top of it. Those are all your side of the trade, which is the part worth working on, because the calls are already made by the time you see them.
Every figure here comes from executed trades on TTMT accounts, not from screenshots, and the methodology says what each one counts. Channel pages are in Explore, and gold channels ranked by executed trades put his two next to everyone else's.
