My biggest ever trading day got even better! Got the $300k login details and made another $20k on that account! $50k for the day on the funded accounts🥂

@JamesBruce131 Good luck💪

@isaacthequach I am saying that if you fail 3 accounts and then pass one and get a 5% payout, you are profitable money wise but not % wise.

I view prop firm accounts as a business and not like a trading account. As long as your payouts exceed your failed challenge fees, you have a profitable trading system for prop firms. You can be down 10% overall and still make money. This is not the case for personal trading accounts and that is why a lot of prop firm traders cannot provide a track record or trade their own money without blowing up. If you are able to do both and use the prop firm payouts to fund your personal account, you are winning.

I see too many traders trying to pass challenges but not taking into account commissions. Risking 1%, you can technically lose 10 trades before failing but this number is most likely 8 trades if you account for commission and spreads. Something to consider when choosing risk.

@TraderWarner Also, secure the borders and start deporting illegals and immigrants who don’t contribute or integrate.

@unbeatenTalent @Siamfluence @Popman98 Based on historical performance, I outperform the S&P 500😂

@Siamfluence @Popman98 @unbeatenTalent Based on that logic, I could return 50% next year in different market conditions…

I don't think you have done your research before commenting this. The S&P 500's average annual return since 1957 is 10.13% and the average drawdown is 14%. My return was 15.04% in 2024 with a max drawdown of 3.35%. If I multiply my max drawdown to match the average of the S&P 500, my return would be 62.85%. Therefore, from a risk stand point, my results are actually better than investing in the S&P 500 on average.

@slickLee7 @hydrafunding 1% risk

You can learn a lot from losing traders.

@tradernickfx Lovely!

Complacency can ruin your trading. You could perform well for 5 months, think you are the best trader in the world, increase your risk, hit a losing streak and lose all of your profits. Keeping the same level head when you are winning as to when you are losing is key.

@CapitalPundit I am mainly talking about the people who come out and say 'you can't be making money because you are trading ... strategy', those types of people. Also, the people selling something as if it is the only strategy to make money in the markets and everything else is wrong

Spending more time trading will not make you more money. However, Spending more time behind the scenes will. This could include: journaling trades, backtesting, collecting data or pretty much anything that will improve your edge! You can progress without entering more trades.

@sam_kb_ You are causing future PTSD😂

@MeetMattL You’d need to do this every single month though for it to be worthwhile, assuming you want to trade full time.
