I made $19,656.56 in payouts from prop firms this month.
Everyone saying risk management is important
Let me show you what my real risk management with prop firms actually looks like with all the numbers and proof
I’m closing September here.
I don’t really like the market right now, so I’m going to sit out and wait for October.
Here’s the full breakdown
September Recap
Total payouts: $19,656.56
HyperNova: $5,802
BrightFunded: $13,853.98
Total spent: $3,505.98
FundingPips 200K: $844
BrightFunded 200K: $1,285.09
BrightFunded 200K: $1,376.89
(Prices were different because of different promo rates.)
Breached challenges: $1,285.09
Only one of the three 200K challenges was breached.
The other two 200K accounts are still active, although currently in drawdown.
So basically:
$3,505.98 spent → $19,656.56 in payouts.
That’s roughly a 5.6x return on the money spent, or around +460% for the month.
And this is where I think people misunderstand risk management.
Everyone says:
“Risk management is important.”
Yeah, obviously.
But what does REAL risk management look like with prop firms?
Who cares how much % you risk on a funded account if you completely ignore the money you actually spend to get those accounts?
For me, the important numbers are:
How much did I spend?
How much did I receive?
How much did I actually keep?
I see people spending huge amounts to generate huge payout screenshots.
For example:
$30K spent → $35K payouts.
Then they post:
$35,000 PAYOUT
But conveniently leave out the $30K they spent.
Their actual gross difference is only $5K yet the marketing makes it look like they generated $35K out of nowhere.
It doesn’t affect me personally anymore, but I know how this looks to someone new:
“Damn, this guy is making $35K. I need to buy his course.” 😂
Anyway, September was worse than I expected Could’ve been much better, but that’s trading.
I’m happy with the numbers, I know what I need to improve, and now I’m moving on to October.
