Prop Firm Leaderboard Results: Blair S. Made $7,518 With Just 29 Trades
Prop firm leaderboards don't lie. They're cold, hard data — profit and loss tracked across every trader, every trade, every day.
Blair S. sits at #10 on the DTR Trading leaderboard with $7,518 in monthly profit from just 29 trades. That's a $259 average per trade — and proof that you don't need high volume to compete with the best.
The Numbers
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total P&L | $7,518 |
| Total Trades | 29 |
| Average Per Trade | $259 |
| Leaderboard Rank | #10 of 111 traders |
29 trades in a month. That's roughly 1-2 trades per trading day. Based on their trading data, Blair S. is one of the most selective traders in the entire top 10.
Trading Style Analysis
Blair S. is a patient, selective trader with strong conviction per position.
The numbers tell a clear story:
- Very low trade count (29) — only the ultra-patient Deanmain (13 trades) took fewer
- High per-trade average ($259) — second-highest among the "patient" traders
- Strong total — $7,518 from 29 trades requires near-zero wasted entries
- Quality-first mindset — every trade carries meaningful weight
At 1-2 trades per day, Blair S. is likely:
- Trading one primary setup they've mastered
- Waiting for specific technical or order flow conditions
- Sizing up when conviction is highest
- Spending more time analyzing than executing
- Finishing their trading day early most sessions
This is the approach that maximizes income per hour of screen time. If Blair trades for 30-60 minutes on active days, that's potentially 10-15 hours of total trading time in a month — for $7,518.
Key Lessons from Blair S.'s Approach
1. Top-10 results don't require top-10 trade volume. Blair took 29 trades — that's 12× fewer than Chuck H (346). Both made the top 10. The leaderboard rewards profits, not activity.
2. $259/trade enables a low-stress trading lifestyle. Two trades per day, $518 in expected daily profit. That's enough to hit monthly targets without marathon screen sessions.
3. The second-lowest trade count still beats most traders. 111 traders participated. 101 of them made less than Blair S. — including traders who likely took hundreds of trades. Selectivity is a superpower.
4. This style is the most replicable. Taking 346 trades per month (like Chuck H) requires exceptional speed, focus, and screen time. Taking 29 trades per month? Almost anyone with a defined edge can execute at that frequency. The barrier to entry is patience, not skill.
