The $2.5M payout certificates added to this list... I don't think I ever shared them.
No they don't make certificates for affiliate payments.. and no I wasn't an affiliate at the time of payout.
20 certificates representing the culmination of 14 years of experience in the markets.
THE OFFICIAL PAYOUT MEGATHREAD.
I have made $1,187,415.34 across 218 payouts.
Because there are so many, and I want to share all of them for credibility, I have split this thread into individual threads.

I love to see the results here..
But want to add why a strict mechanical rule set sometimes isn’t the most optimal.
Too many rules - not enough setups
Too loose rules - too many mediocre setups
The balance for me is a hybrid.
Mechanical analysis, discretionary execution.
I backtested @jadecap_ strategy.... Check those results out!
I rate his strategy a 5/5

It surprises me that even "veteran" traders question whether some random guy they've never met online has an edge or not just based on what they see on their timeline.
I will NEVER pass judgement on another traders style or the tools they use. If it works for them on a consistent basis year over year... great for them.
Order flow, trendlines, volume, ICT, moving averages, RSI, bollinger bands, macd, can all work when in the right hands.
There are people out there using totally obscure things like moon cycles to express their ideas in the markets.
Just because other people fail at using it, doesn't mean EVERYONE will.
You shouldn't let ANYONE tell you your methods don't hold up.
Only you know how much work took place behind the scenes.

Some might think it’s a brag, but from my perspective it’s not.
The only reason I’m on socials from the beginning is to show retail traders what’s possible after years of dedication and going through all of the same struggles that many do.
I did it with all the odds stacked against me.
No institutional training.
No deep market insight from big players.
A shoestring budget trading account.
No one training me step by step.
Yet I still made it.
Could I have made my money quietly and been completely private? Absolutely.
Would that make an impact on other people’s lives? Selfishly yes for those around me.
For the hundreds of thousands of people following me across multiple platforms.. No.
You don’t have to pay me to learn from me. I teach for free.
But even if I change a HANDFUL of people’s lives through my reach and my content..
Then I will have no regrets when it comes time to pass on to the great beyond.

Lifetime I've spent less than $300K on evals and made over $4.8M.
The $300K spend was funded by payouts.
When I first stumbled on FTMO back in 2020.. I had less than $20K in my checking account.
Very insightful. What’s your current average eval-cost—payouts ratio? Maybe over the past year or so.
So for example, if, for every $100 you spend on Evals, you can expect to make roughly $200 on Payouts, the ratio would be 1:2, or 100% returns.

Bad news for indices but good news if you want to park your money in bonds..
🚨 THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD.
Entire US bond yield curve is going parabolic.
US01Y is at a 25-month high
US02Y is at a 28-month high
US05Y is at a 19-year high
US10Y is at a 19-year high
US20Y is also at a 22-year high
US30Y is at a 19-year high
Higher yields across the board mean higher borrowing costs for the government, businesses, and consumers, and that's bad news for both the economy and stocks.

Just so we're clear here..
If someone offered you $250,000 for a $15K investment and you get it wired to you in 30 days.. you would say no because of "tax efficiency" and "not real trading bro".
This is an honest question.
Who here would say no.
Comment below so I can bock u.
Yes it makes sense if you’re broke but you aren’t broke. You can’t withdraw all the money plus they deduct their 10-20% in fees plus taxes are worst when getting paid from a prop firm compared to trading your own account.

Ok since common sense isn’t so common.
Let’s talk about leveraged money and ROI.
I’ve spent $15k in eval fees and have withdrawn $250k in profits in one month.
A 1,566% return.
To achieve that feat in a personal account you need to size aggressively as the account scales.
So what happens to my liquidity if I run $15K up to $50K in profits, size aggressively, and lose the next trade?
If the next trade loses $10K, my actual liquid net worth is reduced by $10K.
If I lose $100K of the balance tomorrow in sim funded accounts guess what my liquid net worth is? The same as it started that day.
It takes zero effort to click a button on another account while trading personal funds on top.
If you ask someone who’s financially savvy that you have a max $15K downside risk on investment with that sort of upside ROI in under 60 days.. do you think he’s going to turn it down?
Please… use your brains
“Very large balances that probably can't be withdrawn but it is what it is.”
This is why it makes zero sense to trade propfirms when you have plenty of cash. Trade your own account and than if you want to trade more than 100 cons stack on 5 TPT accounts

Nice run the past 5 weeks.
$1M profits on Funded accounts with $250K in payouts.
Very large balances that probably can't be withdrawn but it is what it is.
This is my lead account so multiply the P&L by 45 funded accounts basically.
The P&L distribution by day is peak.

This is beating a dead horse but The Turtle traders under Richard Dennis experienced exactly this.
Winning strategy.
Some traders made millions.. others blew up.
With a MECHANICAL system and edge.
Why?
Because some of those traders IGNORED taking trades that the system triggered, took trades the system DIDN'T trigger, and DIDN'T follow strict position sizing according to the system.
Yeah, automation can fix human error..
But not every automated system is what the user is looking for as far as risk profile/return.
I wish I could automate my 15 years of experience into code.
I simply can't.
Because under automation.... the system would take trades that I simply wouldn't.
It has nothing to do with strategy… it’s the application of the strategy.
You can give a winning strategy to 100 different people and get 100 different results.
Tiger woods can teach his swing to 100 different golfers but are they going to get the same results as Tiger?
Absolutely the fuck not.
Only the ones that put in as many reps as he has, will have decent results.
I’ve shared many trade signals in real time with my community.
On winning trades.. somehow people will find a way to lose because they’re managing the position entirely different to what I’m doing.
Sizing up too big, stop loss in a different area, don’t take partials, don’t exit at the same time.
And then they blame the strategy.
It’s so easy to find a scapegoat rather than take full responsibility for your own performance.

The main problem is the "strategy" that they sell to people. Most strategies don't work and that's reality BUT if you combine multiple MEDIOCRE "strategies" that's where the real edge lies. You advertise one strategy and one only that's the entire problem in itself
