48% of traders moved live blow up on Day 1.
Prop is great at measuring payouts, but terrible at measuring traders. And most traders barely track themselves.
Gross payouts aren’t a track record.
I wrote about what the industry is missing.
First payout locked in with @TradingLucid last week for $10K
Took a total of 6 minutes to hit my bank account from the time of request, by far the fastest of any prop firm I’ve tried so far 🫡
Great way to end Christmas week! 5x150K @Tradeify Select added to the stack. Was able to pass these on a shortened holiday week mostly trading Gold
I'll be going the 5 day payout path and aiming for max payouts
Solid start to the week
+$5.5pts on $GC during Asia and +$5.5 on $ES this morning
Setting up for another 5 figure payout this week from @fundingticks@Khldfx
When it comes to timing my entries with little DD I'm pretty damn good
But that means I almost always leave a ton of bread on the table. In this case over $1500 per account. $GC on a mission to kick off Globex
My goal with these accounts is to take out 5 figures 3-4 times monthly
$400/day across 6 accounts will get you a $10.8K payout after fees with @fundingticks
However if I can make another $700 this week it'll be a $18K payout. Being patient and stacking base hits adds up.
Welp, I messed up today chat.
Caught a 100+ pt banger on $YM but realized I was only sized at 1/2 for some reason (1 con instead of 2). Closed out of frustration since it woulda been a $1000+ bagger and I essentially got the LOD.
Oh well, green is green.
Received a $7500 payout from @fundingticks this morning in a few hours bringing my total to $12K over the past 3 weeks
Got my daily base hit on Gold and done for the day. When your DD becomes static you really shouldn't be blowing accounts often!
Today was almost a disaster 😂
Closed a Gold long during Asia for $5 that ended up running for $50 😐
Longed $YM during NY and was underwater for almost 4 hours. Need to be way more patient and stop anticipating moves before they happen. Happy to end green lol @fundingticks
Going to close it out here, +$500 across my 6 50K @fundingticks accounts
Tough day mentally. Missed the optimal entry for longs, chased, got stopped out B/E a few times, bad entries overall. But we live to trade another day!
Took a $3600 payout as well from the top 2 accounts!
Solid first trade on the new funded accts with
@fundingticks
Woke up a bit late so missed the optimal short entry. Waited a while to catch a possible temp reversal on price Took it on $NQ and caught a little over 40 pts in 6 minutes for $850 * 6. Base hit god!
@Khldfx
Got those 4 50K evals passed with @fundingticks
Now max allocated with the firm once they finish the onboarding process
Time to show you guys how to really run it up focusing on base hits. No need for home runs!
Decent day on the @fundingticks accounts
Made $600 on the funded 50K Pro+ Masters and caught overnight Gold longs on my evals totaling $960
Hopefully I'll be able to pass the evals today!
$YM vs $NQ
Which would you rather trade? Which has the cleaner price action?
I'm not sure why retail traders force themselves to only trade NQ. YM made a 250pt move up and retraced the entire thing. Much more opportunity to catch a huge runner on YM IMO.
Took a decent payout last week on my two Master @fundingticks 50K accounts. Should be able to take out a few K on Wednesday
Added 4 more evals to the stack. Going to take these slow. With 6 accounts you really never need to go for home runs
+$1500 on my @fundingticks Pro+ accounts
Overall very frustrating trading conditions. Volatility is low and you get random spikes based on Tarrif news. Might have had like 6 BE stop outs
I've been sized down looking for displacement quickly from my entry. Hasn't been happening
