Congratulations on taking the next step. This is where action begins.
You just did something most people never do.
You stopped watching. You stopped waiting. You stopped making excuses.
You took action.
That single decision to step into the arena, instead of watching from the stands, is what separates dreamers from builders.
I’m going to be blunt, there will be losses, there will be wins, there will be moments of doubt.
And there will be moments of breakthrough.
Through all of it, I’ll be right there beside you because we’re doing this together.
So this is your moment. Step forward. Follow the process. Commit to the journey. No more waiting for the “perfect time.” It doesn’t exist.
Step forward. Follow the process. Commit to the journey.
Because the finish line isn’t just $1,000,000…
It’s freedom. It’s control. It’s becoming the person who actually follows through.
This page walks you through everything you need to run the $100 to $1M Challenge alongside me.
There are some specific resources you need to participate in the challenge.
They are straightforward to set up as I guide you step, by step.
And once they’re in place, your system will be ready for running automated algo trading bots.
Let’s begin…
This is a structured automated trading system designed to grow a
$100 starting account into a $1M scaling portfolio.
Everything runs as one continuous system and plan, where each component (accounts, VPS, strategies) plays a specific role in the overall growth process.
Nothing is separate. Everything is connected.
This is the foundation of the system
VPS Server 1 (Testing/Early Execution Layer)
Initial VPS Server
To run Cent Account strategies
Keeps system live 24/7
Supports testing and early scaling
VPS Server 2 (Scaling Execution Layer)
Higher performance VPS
Runs ECN strategies only
Activated during scaling phase
Built for speed and stability
ECN Account (Scaling Layer)
ECN Accounts will run on VPS Server 2
Main growth account
Standard dollar account (non cent)
Funded once Cent reaches $2,000+ profits
Used for scaling proven strategies
This is where compounding accelerates
Everything runs as one continuous engine:
Cent = build + test + evolve
ECN = scale + compound + expand
VPS 1 = early execution layer (Cent account)
VPS 2 = scaling execution layer (ECN account)
Strategies = Ideally 5 diverse strategies to cover all market conditions.
Each part has a role, but all serve one goal: scaling toward $1M
These are the 5 core strategies we will be ideally sourcing robots for:
These strategies cover a range of different market conditions.
As part of the challenge game plan, I’m not relying on a single market, single strategy, or single type of price movement.
The goal is to build a diversified trading portfolio designed to reduce correlation, spread risk, and improve long-term consistency across different market conditions.
The selected assets each behave differently, which helps create stronger diversification across the portfolio.
GOLD (XAUUSD)
Gold is known for strong volatility and momentum.
It is ideal for:
Trend-following systems
Breakout strategies
Momentum-based trading
Because of its larger price movements, Gold can create strong trading opportunities during high-volatility market conditions.
GBPJPY
GBPJPY is another highly active market with powerful momentum and fast movement.
It can work well for:
Trend trading
Intraday momentum systems
Breakout setups
Its volatility can provide larger opportunities, but also requires solid risk management.
AUDNZD
AUDNZD typically moves slower and more steadily compared to high-volatility pairs.
This makes it attractive for:
Lower-risk systems
Range trading strategies
More controlled trading conditions
This aligns well with my preference for lower-risk portfolio components that can help stabilise overall performance.
USDCAD
USDCAD offers different market behaviour compared to many other major pairs.
Benefits include:
Good intraday movement
Unique price structure
Additional diversification across the portfolio
Adding markets that behave differently is important to avoid overexposure to the same market conditions.
EURCHF
EURCHF is a lower-volatility pair that can help smooth overall portfolio drawdowns.
It may provide:
More stable movement
Reduced volatility exposure
Better portfolio balance alongside higher-risk systems
This can help create a more balanced risk profile across all strategies.
BTCUSD
BTCUSD is an asset that simply cannot be ignored.
Bitcoin is one of the most powerful and active markets in the world, creating huge volatility and strong momentum moves.
It can work well for:
Trend-following systems
Momentum trading
Breakout strategies
High-volatility opportunities
Bitcoin also adds another layer of diversification outside of traditional forex and gold markets.
While volatility is much higher, the opportunities in this market are too powerful to ignore, which is why I want exposure to it within the portfolio using controlled risk and strong strategy selection.
I don’t want to depend on just one market.
Instead, I want to build a strong portfolio of systems that can handle different market conditions over time.
That means building quality strategies with controlled risk across multiple assets, including Bitcoin, which enables us to take advantage of different market conditions and opportunities.
Combined with the 5 core trading strategies, these carefully selected assets are intended to create a diversified trading ecosystem rather than relying on one approach alone.
The aim is to build a portfolio capable of adapting to:
No system wins all the time, and no market behaves the same forever.
That’s why diversification, uncorrelated exposure, and strategic asset selection are at the centre of this challenge plan.
We run one system that scales step by step:
Phase 1 → 1 strategy → $20
Phase 2 → 2 strategies → $40
Phase 3 → 3 strategies → $60
Phase 4 → 4 strategies → $80
Phase 5 → 5 strategies → $100 full system
At this point, the full system is active on Cent Account
This is a phased funding approach where capital is added step by step instead of using the full $100 at once. Each strategy starts with $20 so it can be tested in real market conditions on live accounts before adding more capital or introducing the next strategy.
This allows each system to prove it works, behaves correctly, and stays stable before scaling. Once a strategy is validated, the next $20 is added and a new strategy is introduced, building up to the full 5-strategy system with $100 total.
This approach reduces risk, avoids full exposure at the start, and protects against strategy failure, market changes, or broker issues. It ensures every stage of growth is based on real performance, not assumptions.
Once Cent Account + profits reach $2,000+, we begin scaling into ECN.
ECN starts at $2,000 capital
Same strategies and logic as Cent
System is mirrored step by step
Strategy Mirroring Rule
– For every $2,000 in additional profit:
– We mirror one full strategy from Cent → ECN
– This continues until all 5 strategies are active on ECN
– Full System Deployment Point
Once ECN reaches $10,000 trading capital:
All 5 strategies are fully active on ECN
Cent account continues running in parallel
At this stage we have:
– Cent System = testing + validation + refinement
– ECN System = scaling + compounding + growth
Both systems are identical in logic, but different in scale.
If triggered:
– We halt system immediately
– Capital is preserved (~80% of peak equity)
– Challenge considered failed.

According to our game plan, we start with Trading account # 1
Your trading account is where your trades live. It’s the place your automated system connects to, executes orders, and manages positions, all without you needing to lift a finger.
Earn a passive income on every trade, even losing ones! Here’s something most beginner traders never find out about until much later.
Before you open your trading account, read the section below first.
There’s a trick that lets you earn automatic cashback on every single trade, including losing ones, and it takes two minutes to set up. Don’t skip it.
There are cashback services that act as a middleman between you and your broker. When you sign up to a broker through one of these services, a portion of the spread or commission from every trade you place gets returned to you as cashback, automatically, into your account.
It doesn’t matter whether the trade wins or loses. You get paid either way:-)
Think about what that means over hundreds or thousands of trades. Every single trade generates a small rebate back in your pocket. Over time, that adds up to a meaningful amount, effectively reducing your trading costs and adding a layer of passive income on top of your trading activity.
This is completely legitimate. Brokers pay introducing commissions to these cashback services, and the cashback service passes a portion of that back to you. It costs you nothing extra and takes minutes to set up.
How to use it:
Important Note #1 : You must open your broker account through the cashback portal for the rebates to be tracked. If you open your broker account separately and then try to link it, it won’t work. Do this step first.
Important Note #2 : Not all Forex Brokers support the cashback feature.
Account #1 – The recommended Broker for this challenge (Or choose your own similar)For the $100 to $1M Challenge, I’m personally using the following broker and account type:
Broker: RoboForex
Account Type: ProCent Account – MT5 (Cent Account)
Swap Setting: Swap-Free
Leverage: 1:500
This is well established, regulated broker suited for automated trading.
You can of course use your own Broker as long as your account has same specification as above.
What is a Cent Account – and it’s benefits. For this challenge, we are going to be starting with a Cent Account. If you’ve never heard of a cent account before, this is one of the most powerful advantages available to beginner traders and for traders starting with smaller capital, such as in our case of $100. Let me explain it simply.
A cent account converts your deposit into cents rather than dollars. So when you deposit $100, your account doesn’t show $100, it shows $10,000 in cent units.
Here’s what that looks like in practice:
| Real Deposit | Cent account balance | What This Means |
|---|---|---|
| $100 | $10,000 cents | You trade as if you have $10,000 |
| $10 | $1,000 cents | You trade as if you have $1,000 |
| $1 | $100 cents | You trade as if you have $100 |
The Benefits of a Cent Account
Many automated trading strategies are designed to work with larger account sizes. They use specific lot sizes, position scaling, and risk management formulas that require a large account balance to function correctly.
With a standard $100 account, those strategies simply can’t run properly, the account is too small to support the required position sizes.
With a cent account, your $100 deposit behaves like $10,000. The bot can run exactly as designed, with proper lot sizing, proper risk management, and proper position scaling, all from a $100 starting point.
You get the full functionality of a professional trading setup, the protection of proper risk management, and access to strategies designed for larger accounts, all with a fraction of the capital.
Combined with 1:500 leverage and a swap-free account setting, the RoboForex ProCent MT5 account is purpose built for exactly what we’re doing in this challenge.
Important Note #1: Not all Forex Brokers support cent accounts.
A VPS (Virtual Private Server) is essentially a remote computer that lives in a data centre and runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even when your laptop is off, your phone is in your pocket, or you’re fast asleep.
For automated forex trading, this is non-negotiable.
The trading bot needs to be connected to the market at all times.
If you run it from your home computer and your laptop goes to sleep, loses internet, or restarts, the bot stops. Trades get missed and your could also lose money as open positions will be left unmanaged.
A VPS eliminates all of that.
With a VPS:
Your automated trading runs non-stop, no matter where you are No need to keep your laptop on or be glued to the screen Trades execute consistently, without interruption Runs your bot 24/7 without interruption No dependency on your home internet or power supply Access it from anywhere in the world Costs just a few dollars per month, a tiny overhead for what it enables and potential ROI. Remember this is the system that allows you potentially generate passive income on autopilot!
The real life changing benefits of VPS.This isn’t just about keeping your system running 24/7…
It’s about building something that works for you, even when you’re not working.
This is what enables you to live life on your terms.
You’re no longer tied to charts.
Your system is working in the background while you:
Important: VPS selection informationImportant thing #1: Choose the right operating system for your VPS
When setting up your VPS you’ll also be asked to choose an Operating System (OS). This is the software that runs on your virtual server. Think of it like choosing between Windows versions on a regular computer.
For this challenge, based on my research, Windows Server 2019
Here’s why:
Important thing #2: Choose the Right VPS Location for Maximum Performance
In our case, if you’re choosing RoboForex, RoboForex’s main trading servers are located in London (UK) Amsterdam (Netherlands) and Frankfurt (Germany)
The closer your VPS is to the broker’s servers, the faster your bot communicates with the market, and in trading, speed matters.
When setting up your VPS, here’s exactly what to do:
The right location = faster execution = better performance from your algorithm.
The VPS options to choose if using my recommended VPS Service (link below) The following
When you first get a VPS, it’s set up in a basic, one-size-fits-all way. VPS optimization is simply the process of tweaking it so it runs faster, smoother, and more reliably by removing unnecessary processes, reducing lag, and prioritising performance for your automated trading bots.
If you’re doing anything time-sensitive, this makes a real difference.
I’ve created a simple step-by-step VPS Optimization Guide in the RESOURCES section, which you can access here.
Download it here and get your VPS running properly.
The challenge starts with $20 and that’s exactly what I recommend you start with too as according to the game plan..
Remember, because this is a cent account, your $20 deposit will show as $2,000 in your account balance. That’s the beauty of the cent account, you get the full functionality of a much larger account from a small starting deposit.
Here’s how to make your deposit:
Once the deposit is showing in your account, In your Roboforex Portal, You’ll see $20 displayed, but on your Trading software (MT5) you’ll see a balance of $2,000 cents. That’s correct. That’s not a glitch. That’s your cent account working exactly as it should. ✅
