Kamau Trades

@The_FlowTrader @ATFunded @afconnor1 @PropJoshD Got my refund via card with no issues whatsoever.

I am curious about something, Did @ATFunded refunded and sent payouts to all the traders? The process is still going on or already finished? @afconnor1 @PropJoshD

@atf_cj Awesome. I can confirm I received my refund for my 100k acc paid via card. This is the integrity the industry needs. Kudos👏👏

Today, we will start to email everyone who paid with crypto for your wallet to process the refund. We tried to run a script to automated however, too many were hot wallets which would have caused a mess. Once we get everyone's wallet they will be processed swiftly and that will mean all payouts and refunds are done 👌

@atf_cj Well noted. Thanks.

@MarketsSparrow The system doesnt send emails when refunds are processed. It should arrive within 7 working days.

98% of card refunds have now been processed. A small number remain which failed due to reasons such as expired cards etc. We will be contacting these people today/tomorrow.

@atf_cj Way to go. Awesome news🫡🫡

Around 80% of the refunds have been processed today for those who purchased accounts with debit/credit card. We will likely finish them off tomorrow and then move onto customers who paid via crypto. Please bare in mind that card refunds can take upto 7 working days to reach you.

@PropJoshD Interesting. If you have the lets say 50 consistently profitable traders, do you need to scale them internally to max out on them? Eg. Copy their trades internally and 5x their size but only when they are above the 1% zone.

All this time the last few weeks I have been focusing on taking an engine (a/b switch) and making a new program with it. I failed to actually model the two models that are already in the market. Initially whilst small, these models will be more profitable if you b-book everything. There are numerous reasons for this but only when you have collected a group of decent traders does things shift. If you have 50 (thats all it would take) consistent traders, who are buffered up and leveraged up they can completely destroy b book. I return back to my thought of "how can i make people more profitable". In order for a/b models to work better for traders, traders would have to trade better.

@atf_cj Great! Waiting for phase 1&2 refunds.

The payout button has been enabled for all funded accounts to request any profit they had. These will begin to be processed from the start of next week 🙏

@atf_cj Appreciate the update. Waiting patiently.

An update for traders.... Funded guys who have profit should be able to login to the dashboard and request payout tomorrow. Our devs are sorting it in the morning and I will make another post when it's sorted and we will email everyone. They will start to be approved from the start of the week. Data for the phase 1/2 guys will be reviewed over the weekend and then refunds will start rolling out next week. If we need any information from you such as crypto wallets or anything else we will be in contact via email.

@atf_cj @PropFirmMedia @ATFunded Thanks. Between refunds and eligible payouts which will be given precedent?

@MarketsSparrow @PropFirmMedia @ATFunded Refunds will start to go out from next week.

🚨 Didn't expect this at all.@atf_cj @ATFunded hitting pause is another reminder of how tough the prop firm industry has become. Wishing all affected traders the best and hoping everyone receives what they’re owed during this transition. #propfirmmedia📈

@atf_cj @PropFirmMedia @ATFunded Just bought a 100k acc 2 days ago. Hope they really stand by their words and issue a refund asap.

@PropFirmMedia @ATFunded All traders with active accounts will be refunded and funded profits will also be paid. It will start from next week after we calibrate data this weekend.

@atf_cj Yeah, this now would be it. And if a trader has real edge, it's game for them.

I am very surprised nobody was able to guess or ask what model on funded stage would allow you to have rules like this. Also, the 3% risk rule would only apply in evaluations. In the funded stage when on A book and have enough profit buffer, you could risk whatever you liked. The more you make, the better 👀 If you play your hand properly with a model like this, you really have an atm at the palm of hands 🤷‍♂️

@yavuzkaaa @PropJoshD 🤣🤣🤣

@PropJoshD OnlyFunds was a promising name, what a waste

"Purplepandapropmillionaires Exposed". Brothers and sisters, if you are buying from a prop with a stupid name, you aren't exposing anything, the name exposes it all before any purchase. Don't buy from stupidly named companies, some might come through but its easier to avoid them than to try them because of a discount code or random BOGO offer.

@mbiti_mwondi kelkamxs@gmail.com Thanks doc.

Today being Sunday and given that I am feeling born again,I am giving The WiFi Economy Playbook for free. Just drop your email on this TL each of you will get the book for free. I hope in our next space we shall all objectively give our feedback on this. Those interested just reply with your official email address! Next week I release a psychological book “The African’s Man Identity Crisis” for men,the real masculinity talk ignore what you see on the TL!!

@PropJoshD Very interesting. Even more appealing than the pool model I would say. First because I doubt cheaters would be able to have their way through such a model & 2nd coz the firm seems adequately protected so no monkey business.

There are a few things i would like to "add" to this model really. For example, minimum trades like the rule i put at AT originally. The volume will help lower the prop risk but also potentially the trader makes more. I would like a buffer before payout rule but when you have made the buffer you get rid of daily dd and risk per trade rules and allow the trader to go for it. If the interest is in the trader being profitable, then set it up to be like super potential profitability. Its like the ultimate position scaling, similar to what people have done on futures but without the payout caps and trailing DD and all that jazz.

I will take a moment to give an example of how a high commission on this A/B model is good and bad at the same time. The bad first as its the most obvious. If you trade with multiple positions per day and your commission is marked up significantly, you are less likely to have a positive outcome. A $20 per lot (rt) commission means you are giving up almost all the retail alpha that potentially exists as a whole (if you measure the entire participation in prop, the traders are positive but by less than spread, thus spread means the net is negative). Users who may utilize correlations or divergence in pairs will be severely punished by this mark up as there will be more trades. On Index CFD's the commission is actually nuts. The good, as a prop owner perspective, I will try to break it down. Since the trades are supposedly A-booked from day 1 and the risk mitigated via a circuit breaker, anything that is above break even becomes beneficial to the firm. If you have a high commission, you are not only benefiting from the profits, but you are benefiting from the losses as well if the user is in profit net. With the trade on A, the commission is kind of an additional piece of profit split. When the user loses, they lose their trade + comm, where as you only lose the trade and a little execution fee. When the trader wins, you get the win and the commission pre split. If a user is profitable and has relatively high volume on these server settings, you can actually make quite a bit of revenue so long as the trader is diligent and gives themselves a profit buffer to play inside of. The users who go up and down to the circuit breaker are the bad customers. If the marketplace would accept this commission, there are many many ways you can make this model better AND execute a lot of volume, the core mindset to have as the operator is to play the long game and not get too greedy. Actually, if everyone gave me permission to run a prop with a $20 comm per lot and promised to buy, I could do some interesting models utilizing an A/B switch but I think that this commission won't be widely accepted. For the A/B switch, i think this is just the beginning, currently its not as friendly as it could be but its a good start.

@salmanmunir96 What do you think of ATFunded?

Seeing plenty of vibe coded sites in the suggestions. Seems like innovation is dead in CFD space. For now I'll stick with Fundingpips, 5ers and Alpha. No bullishit excuses, get paid on time, no silly rules.

What an incredible English gentleman. He stood up to shake hands at the age of 90.

@KinyekiKirangi @_Nimo1 Ok. Here I am from the ground itself. You'd be surprised that what you actually see is not all. He's actually performing better by far than what you guys see on these socials. And why do you not want to be told that he's better than his predecessors when he is?

@_Nimo1 Too many praises heaped on this Murang'a governor. I need a second opinion from the people on the ground cuz politicians move funny. What if he's also just PR and things are different on the ground? Also, don't you dare tell me that he's better than his predecessor(s).

murang’a residents truly got it right. they have a selfless governor with no theatrics, just serving the people and getting things done

@PropFirmMatch @AlphaCapitalUK Have traded with them. A good prop all round. No games. I'd recommend.
