Just requested my first ever 5 figure payout!! The biggest milestone in my trading career!!
The years of suffering I had to endure to get to this point, the debt I went into, the lonely nights locked in my room just backtesting, the mental breakdowns, the countless failed evals, the snarky comments from family and friends, the amount of tears shed trying to convince myself I can do it.
I can finally say, it’s worth it. Don’t give up, I know sometimes it looks bleak but truly giving your best everyday will pay off. I want to give a huge shoutout to @ExclusiveFunded. Without them, this payout wouldn’t even be possible. Highly recommending them and join their Discord too. I’ve made genuine friends in there. This journey is hard enough, don’t do it alone.
And to my girl who believed in me even when I couldn’t believe in myself, thank you. You stayed through the highs and the lowest lows. With this payout, I can finally get you the ring you deserve.
TLDR: 5 figure payout, my girl soon to be fiancée, I love exclusive prop

Update on @Topstep ban:
After tons of back and forth with @Topstep and begging them (literally) for proof of any wrongdoing, all I got is @dotjosh telling me I had "5 occurrences" where my trades matched with another user in either the same or opposite directions. ( not even consistent hedging or copytrading)
Also no trades, no timestamps, no account names. Nothing I can actually look at or respond to.
I've been trading props since 2021 and never had a problem with any firm. I put real time and money into these accounts and now it's all gone, and I still don't know what I actually did wrong.
@Topstep & @MichaelPatak was one of the firms I always respected and recommended. I never thought they'd be the ones to do this to me.
Apparently @Topstep can just accuse you of hedging and ban you anytime now without providing ANY KIND of proof.
I have been trading with props since 2021 and i was never banned from a prop before. I am not the type of person to come cry on X to abuse a prop because i worked in the industry before and i know how cheating groups operate.
I also never expected this from a firm like @Topstep
@MichaelPatak @dotjosh @AskTopstep can you have a second look at my case? I never hedged against myself or anyone else before.
The only hedging warning I got was for a trade that lasted 2 seconds back on August 11th, which happened because of a misclick, and I immediately hit FLATTEN ALL once the warning on the dashboard showed up. Again, this was a case of a misclick, so if that warning puts me in a group of sus people, that's just outright stupid because I haven't done anything bad after, even by mistake.
Again, i have NEVER hedged using my accounts and also NEVER hedged against anyone else...

In case you guys were wondering where I have been, for those who didnt know,

This was my alt. Im finally released from Jail though. added 800k to payouts during my jail time, sitting at 2.3m in payouts and 1.75m nett profits now 😎

Sorry AJ, but the amount of gaslighting is ridiculous.
We ain't scared of trading live environment. I have 0 complains being moved live with @TakeProfitLLC and @fnfutures because, they pay out whatever profits eligible before moving you live. This is also the biggest reason why I will always speak well of them as long as they continue to do so, because that is only the right thing to do.
If you are not moving a trader live right after payout, then allow him to continue trading SIM, only to tell him he is going live after he made another few thousands and be eligible for the next payout, and in the process forfeit whatever he has made in that cycle, it only means 1 thing
You are betting on them to blow up the account so they would continue purchasing evaluations. When they win, you move them live to avoid paying any payouts. That's not cool.
And when traders complain about what is obviously unfair or even immoral, you gaslight us by saying we are scared to trade live environment???
Just to prove I'm not all talk no action, I've actually purchased 5 lucidmaxx Evals myself, when I know it is straight to funded, even though it's much more expensive than the usual SIM evaluations. At least I know no more profits can be stolen from me if I made them on the live account, there's a 2nd or upgraded live account "congratulations, you are now upgraded to PRO live, you will now get better spreads but your profits are gone and you start with (much lesser balance) on the PRO live account" 🤣
As @TraderLe correctly points out, moving traders live should be a reward, not a robbery.
Our issues were never about being made to trade "live" , but rather the process that leads us to it. I hope you would take this criticism kindly and seriously, to make this space a better place, thank you
Also, the only ones who are coming with those comments "why do they hate being moved live?" are literally the ones who are unprofitable themselves to be even in the position to understand what is wrong about this whole process.
I wish you unprofitable ones, to become profitable one day yourselves, to experience and learn that making profits only for them not to count isn't right.
Maybe you have little to 0 payouts, so you don't understand why people like us take 5 figures and not be happy with it the live process
Imagine telling CR7, messi or mbappe that they aren't getting paid for that month even though they continued to train and play in games, because they have already made millions prior and should not complain? LOL

You could have moved trader "live" right after his last payouts.
Instead, you continued to sell him SIM accounts, with the plan that should he make it to more payouts, you would rugpull on him and move him "live" to avoid paying a single cent.
If he failed and continued purchasing SIM evaluations, you would just happily take all his fees.
You chose to sell the evaluations to the trader. You lost on your gamble of him failing to reach payouts. Dont be acting like a sore loser
"Bro took over 175k in payouts so he has no right to be upset"
Imagine hosting a poker tournament, Daniel Negreanu buys in for 10k and wins top prize for 2 million dollars. Try not paying him the money and say this to the public "Bro took over 50million dollars in tournament winnings and is upset"

The reason is hidden in TOS.
I actually wasted time with @tradeifycrypto thinking it's a cheaper alternative to @breakoutprop
Guess what, the accounts that are promoted with static DD actually don't give you static DD when you request first payout. It moves up to initial balance.
Same gimmick, payout lock is nowhere on the payout section, just hidden under 1 step evaluations guide.
Guess we find out why some firms are cheap afterall.
Anybody taking tradeify's side on this one is not thinking straight btw, the 175k payouts weren't a donation. The trader earned it. If it was 0 payouts or 500k in payouts it shouldn't make a difference.

If I see another email of a prop firm that I never signed up for show up on my shit, I’m throwing hands on sight 😤😤😤

Been a while since I did any value posts, so here's one for my followers.
There is alot of misconception about consistency rules, and we are going to talk about it today
Before I start, I wanna be clear that this is not against any firms who has consistency rule in their plans, I understand that it is crucial to make the business model sustainable, and also acts as a good deterrence to hedgers/cheaters
What I don't like being said about the consistency rule is the narrative that it is supposed to help make you a better trader. This is 100% bullshit. We can argue for the case if the consistency rule is built around losses, since that reinforces sound risk management, but not around profits which we all know to be based on
To explain this, you need to understand that having an edge, doesn't mean to be consistently profitable every day, or even over a short period of time. Having an edge means that, over a large sample size of trades, over a long period of time, you are ultimately able to come out as a winner despite the ups and downs on your equity curve. Variance is inevitable. Market conditions are never the same. To be trying to make similar amount of profits across different days is just plain retarded.
Millionaires and Billionaires all have their breakthrough moments, and it certainly isn't built on "consistency"
George Soros broke the bank of England for 1 billion profits in a day. You don't see him making 1 billion everyday. The top Poker pros go through periods of insignificant profits/losses , before winning a poker tourney for 6 or 7 figures occasionally. They amassed millions with inconsistent results.
Elon Musk amassed most of his wealth in the shortest period of time over the last few years.
People who don't understand edge will call them lucky for hitting that 1 big day or a good run of winning streak. But true edge means this, STAYING IN THE GAME LONG ENOUGH till you have your edge show up for a few big wins and repeat over the next few years. And thats the difference against the lottery winners. Many of them win 1 time, spend everything and go bankrupt without winning another lottery, because there's no edge, just pure luck
So if you decide to trade a personal account, where it is as real as trading is concerned, please don't force consistency rules upon yourself. There's a reason why they say : let your winners run and cut your losers short. The consistency rule is anything but that

Unlike these scumbag course sellers who restrict you to charts and psychology here's the exact blueprint to becoming a prepared trader.
Not profitable, but prepared and rational.
A bit of a long thread.🧵
1. Understand global economics, start off with basic economics lectures like supply and demand to grasp the concept of change in market demand and supply. This will help you understand order matching as well as pricing. Go a bit deeper into how deficit and surplus, GDP, currency reserves and banking works.
2. Learn the history behind USD, how it came about to be the reserve currency. Your whole perception of money and value will change, helps you think outside the system you're raised in. Cash has no value. Basics of Economics definitely needed to fully grasp this.
3. Pick an asset based on the difficulty of your choice, there are infinite number of gambling sites and trading platforms willing to sell you on anything and everything. You can trade Gold on a broker but also buy/sell options or just bet on the price using prediction markets. Find your comfort with what you truly understand before finding your 'edge' in the market.
4. Stick with your asset, even similar assets in the same class can have entirely different macroeconomics driving them. For example Gold and Silver. Study the origin of your asset, how it's extracted or created. The purpose behind its existence and how it's actually used, external impacts of economics will help you here.
5. Learn about the players in the market as much as you can, which Entity/Govt/Banks/Individuals take interest in which asset. You will be prepared and will understand who your counterparty is, someone is always willing to match your orders (take opposite trade) you just have to know who it might be. Your broker, their LP, their LPs LP, the bank, a Nation or you're just matching against other individuals on a real exchange. This is an important aspect, this will help you factor in the amounts of slippage and liquidity you can expect. Your demo profits are not affected by this, your live positions will be. So be prepared.
6. Understand the laws of your country, stay within legal bounds. If something is banned in your country it's ideal not to tread that territory, you'd have no protections as a client. Preferably work only with registered and regulated brokers, otherwise you risk being denied your profits at their will (all brokers T&C cover this). You can't do anything to them. Laws will also help you estimate your real income after it's brought in and taxed. Everything has a cost, factor it in!
7. Study price history of your asset extensively, do not restrict yourself to charts that's only one way of presenting the information. Dig up all you can from the past, every macro decision that affected the price. Learn the trends that form in the long run on monthly, quarterly and annual basis because of those macro decisions (the more you'll dig the more you'll find). Price is determined by the sentiment of the market, charts display price history not the market sentiment. You need more than charts to identify major change in trends and reversal points. Charts do assist you in finding a reasonable price for entry and exit.
8. Apply the findings you've made onto a demo account first, test it thoroughly and make it stand the test of time through news, wars and other unexpected events. A simple bet yeilds you a 50% chance of winning without any bias, you just need a clue to pivot the odds in your favour even if it's marginally small. That is your true 'edge'.
How it feels still fighting idiots who are defending TJR after @imantradingYT called him out. Stop believing all these larptards ffs
Either @CTI_Funding has an ai bot that fked up somewhere or someone who is working there has a personal agenda against by homeboy @Market_Emotions. Fix this shit, it’s hella embarrassing that you’re trying to call out the most honest trader in this space.
Looks like it's finally happened to me, folks. Got hit with the most BS denial reason by @CTI_Funding 😂
I have never once been banned, or unfairly denied because I always believed that respecting the firm and their rules will prevent that from happening. Until today, I learnt the respect is not mutual. I gave @CTI_Funding a try as per a mate's recommendation.
Using max 1.2% risk only and always setting an SL, @CTI_Funding has denied me a Phase 2 account after 1 month of trading, because they claim I was reverse hedging. What an absolute joke - firstly, I only have 1 account with you so reverse hedge what?
Secondly, I am happy to provide full unredacted statements of all my other active accounts at other props to show I took the same trade or same direction trade on all correlated pairs on all my other accounts.
Why the denial @CTI_Funding? I invite you to provide full proof, breakdown or any evidence of your allegations @CTI_Funding - but of course, your denial email holds zero evidence.
Now I can finally join the ranks of traders unfairly treated by firms. I trade a lot of firms so I can be the guinea pig for traders. Those who have followed my journey also know that I am working on backend solutions for Prop Firms to attain sustainability. And as one of the strongest advocates for transparency in this space, it is almost ironic that I got hit with this. But this is actually why I stay anonymous. So that I can experience Prop Firms without influencer status - this way I can deliver to you trusted reviews and transparent experiences as a normal average everyday trader.
But I am to blame as well, I was wrong to try a low-tier firm, wasted my time, energy and it negatively affected my trading psychology. But at least now, we all know to stay away from @CTI_Funding - added to the shitlist.
The market is already chaotic enough.
The Prop Firm industry is even more of an upheaval.
But me? I will be calm.
Full trade history provided.
I got nothing to hide.
@CTI_Funding, how can you identify reverse hedging if it doesn't exist? I know I'm clean and I never hedged, so shame on you - there's enough BS in this industry already, what a disappointment.

Here’s my dilemma on posting tweets
1) Regulate my posts and grow on this space while providing value to the community and maybe eventually partner up with a project in the prop firm space that actually brings in helpful insights
2) Shit post and stay banished in the shadow realm
I like option 2
Planning a wedding is way harder than trading. I don’t have enough underwear if I shat myself 16 times in a row on my big day but if I took 16 straight losses on my funded account, I know all I had loss was just the cost of the eval
Some of y’all need to go back to school and learn some critical thinking. Why do you think your favourite gurus are hiding their full acc names on their trade copier and always stuck in eval jail. Ding ding ding it’s because they suck and make their money from discord subscriptions/affiliate deals with props
