I've been trading for 8 years. Here's a bunch of controversial trading beliefs I have. (Don't read if you're sensitive). 🧵

I lost more money in the stock market yesterday than my entire income 5-6 years ago. Feels both amazing and horrible at the same time lol

I received a payment of approximately $1,800 from Lark Funding within 24 hours. I have already received over $22,000 in payouts from this firm. Since I carried over an account from last year, my challenge fees this year have been less than $2,000, giving me a payout-to-cost ratio of approximately 12:1. I'm not allowed to disclose the name, but I was banned by another firm after withdrawing over $5,000 from a challenge that cost just $390. I was also banned by Alpha Capital Group after receiving $44,000 in payouts this year against approximately $4,000 in challenge fees. Lark Funding doesn't just claim to be a firm that supports traders. It proves it through its exceptionally trader-friendly rules, which genuinely set it apart from other firms, and through its payouts. I hope this continues for many years to come. I believe Lark Funding is one of the most underrated firms in the industry. Perhaps that's because many traders are still unaware of some of its benefits, such as three free retries, monthly salaries that can still be received during drawdown periods, news trading being allowed, and no consistency rule. Thanks to my posts, more and more people are gradually learning about these benefits and actually starting to use the firm. I'm not an affiliate or sponsored by them, so I don't receive any compensation for promoting them. Nevertheless, it makes me genuinely happy to see more traders discovering what Lark Funding has to offer. @larkfunding @PropFirmMatch

Getting a Cybertruck was my dream car. So sad. Anybody who doesn't like it is boring and lame. Life is too short to have a boring car.
Tesla will be winding down production of the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas around the middle of next year to make room for increased Cybercab production

The S&P 500 shed $2 trillion in value in barely 40 minutes, wiping out the entire post-midterm rally in one of the swiftest market collapses in history.

A $5K payout every month is $60,000 a year. From a challenge that cost you a few hundred bucks. You don't need a 7-figure strategy. You need to lock-in and start passing.

Something we'll never add: ❌ Consistency rules ❌ News restrictions ❌ Minimum trading days ❌ Trailing drawdown on challenges ❌ "Profit concentration" rules

My biggest regret in life, hands down, on my death bed, will be the amount of time I spend on my phone. It’s about 3 hours a day. Not bad compared to most people. But still absolutely pathetic. Toying with the idea of going phone free in 2027. But is it even possible?

27 rule changes across 13 prop firms. In one week. How is any trader supposed to keep up with that? If a firm changes its rules every week, they're in trouble.

Very interesting day in the prop firm world. Will be interesting to see what Prop Firm Match says.

Scariest thing I've seen this Halloween? A prop firm with a 15% consistency rule, a 3% trailing drawdown AND a lifetime payout cap. All in the same challenge 😂 😂

Some pretty insane market crashes after-hours. Might have to do some shopping tomorrow.

Some advice nobody wants to hear: If you can't pass a prop firm challenge with 1% risk per trade, you won't pass it with 3%. You'll just fail faster.

Spending over $300,000 on ads for a side business has been pretty fun.

You know a prop firm is struggling when they post a screenshot from Discord with a trader saying "Thanks for the payout! Even though it's 3 weeks late."

A consistency rule is just a lock on your payout. We don't have one. On any program 🔓
