Just paid off the remaining balance on our home right before loading up the family and heading out on vacation. No lambos, no private jets. Just quiet freedom and peace for my wife and kid. This one hits different. Thank You, Jesus. 🙏

@SuzyKhimm Messaged you!

Hi everyone -- I'm switching beats to cover prediction markets and sports betting for NBC News. I'd love to connect with anyone involved in and/or affected by the industry -- traders, bettors, sports leagues, athletes, advocates, and the industry itself.

@Knibbs Sent you a dm!

Hey X! I'm a senior writer at WIRED and I'm shifting beats to cover the tech I'm most obsessed with right now—PREDICTION MARKETS. Eager to hear tips on the industry at kate_knibbs@wired.com

We’re building a new prop model that offers the best of both worlds. Pass the evaluation and earn awards that you can use to fund your own account. Trade what you want, when you want, and where you want. Keep 100% of the profits. No insane rules and restrictions. waitlist.catalysttrading.co

ok let me just say what everyone is thinking but nobody wants to admit the only reason sim prop firms worked for traders was hedging, that's it, that was the whole game you open multiple accounts, you hedge opposite directions, one wins one loses, you withdraw from the winner and reset the loser this is arbitrage against the prop firm's business model and guess what, it worked thousands of traders got paid doing exactly this the prop firms knew and some of them looked the other way because the 90% of people failing evaluations were funding the payouts now that metals are running 3-4% a day and hedgers are printing, suddenly it's "against the rules" they didn't ban hedging because it's wrong they banned it because it was working so here's the real question nobody wants to answer: if you remove hedging from prop firms, who is actually profitable? like genuinely, consistently, single-direction profitable on a prop firm account with their drawdown rules and their time limits and their restricted instruments almost nobody and if you ARE that trader, why are you giving away 10-20% of your profits to a prop firm when you could just trade your own $5-10K account and keep everything the whole prop firm model was built on two groups of people: losers who pay evaluation fees forever and hedgers who figured out the loophole remove both and what's left a subscription service selling hope when are you going to wake the f up?

@scalprrlabs @L2WTrades

topstep is shutting down let that shit sink in for a second this is a company that paid out over $100M/month to traders. the biggest prop firm in futures. the one everybody started with. now they're sending emails to traders claiming they were "hedging accounts" and using that as an excuse to not pay out funny how they found all these "rule violations" that didn't actually happen to most of the traders traders who did everything right. followed the rules. hit their targets. withdrew legitimately. now being told they cheated everybody went through topstep at some point. it was the entry point into prop trading for thousands of people. but here's what's crazy the same thing happened with education everybody in the trading space went through TJR's mentorship at some point it was "the" program. the one everybody recommended. the concepts everybody learned. ICT this. ICT that. smart money. displacement. order blocks. sounded good. felt like you were learning something. then you tried to trade it and realized half the shit was missing no clear entry criteria. no real risk management framework. concepts that contradict each other depending on which video you watched. you'd see a "setup" and take it. lose. go back to the videos. "oh i missed this part." find another setup. lose again. "oh it's because of this other thing." endless loop the concepts aren't wrong. they're just incomplete. it's like someone teaching you 60% of how to fly a plane and then wondering why you keep crashing built a following off being the guy who "understood" the market. made ICT concepts mainstream. but his students? most of them are still struggling. still trying to piece together a strategy from scattered youtube videos with 15 missing pieces. still blaming themselves for not "getting it" when the reality is there was never a complete system to get TJR's mentorship is collapsing in slow motion because the education model is broken. you can't teach people 60% of a skill and expect them to figure out the rest. one took your money the other took your time and honestly? the time is worse you can make more money. you can't get back the years you spent trying to make incomplete concepts work. the trading industry is a graveyard of things "everybody did" that turned out to be garbage the prop firms everybody used. the mentors everybody followed. the strategies everybody traded. most of it was broken from the start the people who actually make money figured that out early and built their own systems from the pieces that actually worked everybody else is still refreshing their email hoping topstep won't close their account or still watching TJR videos trying to find the missing piece that was never there different outcomes. same pattern. the entry points everybody uses are usually the ones that burn you the worst.

@notyrjo Sent a dm. We're building something new on Polymarket!

What can you build on Polymarket? The permissionless protocol exposes a large product surface. Here’s a practical breakdown of the real product categories Polymarket enables.

@TradingLucid 👏👏👏

Someone put out a hit piece on us. And honestly, most of it is true. Except the part about not being sustainable and AJ looking like Gary Vee.
