@duce99i @MichaelMOTTCM Only real traders will understand everything you just send. All the idiots on X saying this is the best market are just showing how bad they are at trading.

@MichaelMOTTCM It's a nightmare to trade. Gaps up on bullshit, won't retrace when it comes out as fake, so long is rough because you know it should come down, and we are floating in open air, so rr is skewed to hell. Can't go short because we are in clown world. Not a fun time.

Amazing how a BS headline moves the market, and then when more details come out, the market can't even move back to where it was.

@TheShadowIntelX This is so stupid

An anonymous poster on 4chan dropped what he claimed was the real reason for the Iran War.

@KobeissiLetter Remember folks Iran is desperate for a deal and has been every day for a month

BREAKING: President Trump releases a statement amid reports that a deal to end the Iran War is imminent. "Assuming Iran agrees to give what has been agreed to... Epic Fury will be at an end."

@GAndersonTrades Everyone I know who is a real daytrader with a real system feels the exact same way as you. This market rewards bad trading and gamblers

I have been trading for 6 years This is without a doubt the least enjoyable market I’ve ever witnessed We gap up and chop all day, the only strong uptrend moves exist on stocks with a 90 RSI We have headlines that not only create very quick V moves and leave uncertainty, but they are conflicting and dropped at very suspicious times Don’t let the memory and CPU rally fool you. This market is EGREGIOUSLY bad

@TradeToGlory24 Easy answer is trade your own capital. Put 1-2k in an Account and trade at most 1 micro. Withdraw every day that is green. Props are designed to leech your money and never pay you.

since i started posting here (Nov 20, 2025): spent: $11,414 on prop firms payouts: $0 Topstep: 9,129 FundedNext: 1,639 MFFU: 646 this is honestly worse than i thought not gonna lie… i feel drained like i’m right on the edge mentally and the smallest thing could tip me over it’s ruthless out here especially logging on and seeing people post 5–6 figure payouts every week i know some people will say “at least you had 11k to risk” truth is i didn’t i’m in so much debt and it just keeps piling on just pressure building and i don’t know how much longer i can keep going i’ve let family down if anyone’s been in a hole like this and made it out, how?😢😭💔

@farkas_leslie @CamUndefeated @EliteTraderFund @kanwal_etf Props learned they can move live instead of pay as a way to delay payment. The entire model is to not pay traders. They are all doing it now

@CamUndefeated @EliteTraderFund @kanwal_etf now the underlying question is why is this so commonplace with these so-called prop firms?

Welp! Looks like @EliteTraderFund won’t be paying my $5,500 payout request. I have never gotten a single payout with ETF in the 3 years I have traded with them and now that I make it to payout they are choosing to not pay and just send me to Live Account transition. Kind of sad.

@FinanceLancelot And people think they should fomo in to this lol. The math says short

Have you guys ever experienced an 11.7 sigma event before? Well you just did this week, exceeding the top of the dot-com bubble. The cross-sectional standard deviation of annual returns within the S&P 500 Information Technology sector, as of April 15, 2026, dispersion hit 392.93, which sits 11.7 standard deviations above its long-term historical mean (data going back to 1973). For context: The chart draws horizontal lines all the way up to +6 SD. The current spike blows well past the +6 SD line.

@NickDrendel This is a very unstable rally. A 0.01% tail event. Buying now before Iran deal is portfolio suicide.

Two bullshit market theories that I hope we can stop ever discussing after this rally: 1. Gaps have to fill. 2. Low volume rallies can't be trusted. Gaps through key areas (50/200SMA) that don't immediately fill are THE MOST BULLISH, not bearish. Low volume with strong price appreciation means LACK OF SELLERS, not lack of buyers. Anyone who's studied market cycles and have drawn thousands of gaps know this, and after the last two weeks I hope everyone does.

@DiveBomb321 So the Goldilocks zone for stocks is high inflation with stable job market and strong earnings. That always leads to insane rallies.

@DiveBomb321 So we have to ask ourselves is the worst with the war behind us? Honestly probably yes however the lingering effects are high inflation for at least the next 2 quarters. This equals higher earnings from companies who screw customers.

$spy so you are telling me it took months to grind up to this high in the first place and we went down because of the war and the looming energy crisis and the war isn't over and the looming energy crisis is worse and we shot back up in two weeks. That's some bullshit. 😂

@PropFirmMedia No firm can handle consistently profitable traders. They may pretend but they can't that's why rules are getting worse and worse

🚨 The prop firm industry isn’t evolving,it’s about to be exposed. 🚨 What’s coming next isn’t a “market shift” it’s a cleanup. Weak business models? Dead. Fake marketing? Finished. “Trader-friendly” narratives? About to get stress tested. Only the firms that can actually handle profitable traders will survive. This isn’t evolution,it’s a purge. 💀 And if this is already happening with reputable firm @FTMO_com just imagine what’s waiting for the rest. So let’s stop sugarcoating and ask the real question 👇 Do these firms truly want profitable traders or only traders who stay profitable within limits they can control? 💀 Because the moment a trader becomes: • Consistent profitable trader They don’t get rewarded,they get restricted. So be honest Is the problem the prop firm trader or a business model that can’t survive real consistency? What’s the truth? #propfirmmedia📈

@rquanchan @Topstep They deleted my account when I requested migration and say it doesn't exist now....

@Topstep whats the deal with the migration. Is this real? I sent an email, and AI told me I can trade both legacy and the new.

@MichaelPatak @Topstep @AskTopstep the email clearly stated after the accounts are closed I would have 30 days to migrate. Well I emailed on day 1 of 30 and they are saying they are closed and don't exist. Fix this please.

@MichaelPatak @Topstep @AskTopstep what's going on with legacy account migration. I had two funded accounts in good standing that were removed from my topstepx dash March 31st 2026. I reached out to support to migrate now they are saying the accounts don't exist. What gives??

@FURU_University Well said. This conflict is so much bigger than most people realize.

Some of you guys just don't get it. Listen to this man. Access to the suez canal (now being threatened by the Houthis) and access to the strait of Hormuz is so critical to modern day life. Blocking these two waterways WILL cause a global recession if it persists. The reason I called this Trump's biggest blunder is because these two areas are the easiest on the planet to defend against an overwhelming military such as ours (the United States). They are the ultimate global choke points and someone didn't explain this to Trump clearly enough before he launched his assault. Now we are stuck and at the mercy of our enemies no matter how many bombs we drop. That is why choke points are so powerful. Until Iran chooses to end this it will not end and this is the worst position for us to be in. My worry is the powers that be will get more and more desperate as time goes on and the bombs will get bigger and bigger. I hope we find some adults to put at the negotiating table and the white house PR staff fires whatever idiots are putting out these taunting social media posts. It would also be a good idea for Trump and hegseth to not insult Iran every single time they speak in front of a camera. This is not a game and the conflict needs to end asap. Also if I lived anywhere within 3-4 miles of Tehran I would evacuate until this conflict is over.

@FURU_University The oracle speaks. I listen.

Iran didn't ask Trump for a pause. They asked trump for a lot of things which they released publicly. Trump will invade Kharg Island to cut off Iranian oil money. He is bad with military timing and is just trying to get his troops in place. How do I know? I have two eyes, two ears and a big brain. #IranWar‌

@FURU_University By far some of the most accurate trading takes on this war I have seen. Thank you as always for sharing.

This is a public service announcement to WAKE THE HELL UP! $nq $es #ifvg #fvg #trading #IranIsraelWar #IranWar‌
