How is this another step back? This is rich coming from someone who pretty much abandoned their prop. You literally have a prop firm and shill a different firm what directional step is that?

You can fix this in about 30 days. That's about how long it takes for a full physiological reset. Here's what I'd do: 0. Start with a 48 hour cold turkey detox. No electronics. No music. Only allowed books, writing and movement. 12 hours in you'll be climbing the walls. 24 hours in you'll unlock forgotten levels of creativity and imagination. 1. Delete anything off your phone that allows scrolling of any sort. Install an app blocker that blocks anything except phone, messaging, Uber, banking etc. Have a friend set a password, you need to beg them to unlock it. 2. Change all screens to greyscale. 3. Find 2-3 fiction authors you enjoy, and buy their whole catalogue. That's 30-40 books without thinking. 4. Sleep on the floor, not on the bed. For at least 30 days. 5. Do hard hill sprints 3 x weekly. Lift hard weights 3 x weekly. 6. Find and join a club. Any club. Ideally something you have a curiousity in, but that also makes you uncomfortable. Reading club, running club, rock climbing club, whatever. 7. Join an evening class. Coding, martial arts, history, whatever. 8. In bed by 10:30pm every night. Only exception is if you're either doing exercise of some sort, or physically with friends. 9. Initiate one (non transactional) conversation with a stranger every day. 10. Fix your posture consciously. 11. Maximise your time out of the house. Want to work on something on your laptop? Go to the local library. Go sit in a college campus. Go sit in a coffee shop.

@PropFirmMedia Sounds like he breached the terms. You should do proper due diligence before posting “SCAM”. It massively downplays the effect of if an actual rug pull/scam occurs.

🚨Instant Funding EXPOSED AGAIN🚨 A trader from our community just got scammed by Instant Funding. $10K account +$1,000 profit No daily DD breach No overall DD breach No rule violations Yet they STILL denied his payout. Their excuse? A made up “50% max risk rule” even though his drawdown never touched 1% and the trade was fully within limits. They literally invented a violation after he made profit. This is not a prop firm. This is a payout refusal operation. We will keep calling out this behaviour. STAY AWAY FROM INSTANT FUNDING. #propfirmmedia📈

Traders waiting 2–3 months for payouts is beyond insane 😂 @wannabechamp MF , just shut down that pathetic excuse of a firm @ckcapitaluk_ already. You’ve scammed half the community and the moment anyone speaks the truth, you ban them like a coward 😂😂 You’re running a full-blown scam in the open and still pretending it’s legit. Anyone thinking of buying from this firm -don’t. It’s straight-up robbery. @fundproptraders btw this is also a scam 🤷🏻

The movie Wall-E came out in 2008. It took us less than 20 years to become slaves to the screens, staring at them 24/7. This is absolutely bizzare and terrifying for the future once robots and AI actually take over jobs. Would everyone just float around on their mobility scooter everywhere?

🚨 If you did not know already, please read 🚨 This is straight out of @FTMO_com new T&C There will be 2 completely different entities / firms (FTMO Challenge and FTMO Trading Global s.r.o.) Passing, without breaking any rule WILL NOT guarantee the access to a FTMO Trader account. As per 5.19: This does not guarantee your acceptance into the FTMO Trader Program. We are not responsible for you not being admitted into the FTMO Trader Program for any reason. So, at the sole discretion of FTMO Trading Global s.r.o, even if you succeed & didn't break any rules in the FTMO Challenge you may or may not receive an FTMO Trader Account. At their sole discretion. So you pay X $ for a Challenge, and even if you have succeed, you may not be accepted into the FTMO Trader Account, at their sole discretion. Pretty crazy if you think about it, but I know this is going to be the new stage of Prop Trading. @MTradingX @ScamsScram @salmanmunir96 @PropJoshD @SaroTrades @stoploss_ @SheikAlgo @trades_sage @Shubhankan007 @lukasstibor @CEO_of_Prop_BS @MrNick_Buzz_ @AbdobeX

You can beat 50% of traders if you literally just don't risk more than 1% per trade. It really is that simple.

Another scam PropFirm that was previously exposed for flexing 'Fake Payout Certificates' is now scamming traders with 'Hidden Rules'. This trader passed his account after 3 month's but @AeonFunded banned him using a hidden rule and a false excuse. This firm is a well-known scam. They flex 10k fake payout certificate without giving any real payout – and now they've started the hidden-rule game.
xxde@xxde260618

@AeonFunded I bought this account in August, when your CEO was busy calling out Fake prop firms on X. Saying he will launch his own prop firm with no hidden rules!!! .....

Lol. From humiliation ritual to outright lying... Imagine falling from grace face first onto concrete. There is no coming back from this now unless everyone at Funderpro gets fired and Gary actually takes over and takes accountability for this low IQ marketing spree. BTW I am being nice here trying to provide solutions. Edit: I checked the internet for the so called awards, doesn't even exist... Holy shit...
FunderPro@FunderPro

@propfirmwise @TradingLucid The CFD prop firm model can 100% be sustainable. The issue is that the space has been in a race to the bottom for so long, and firms have over exposed themselves. If firms brought back time limits, monthly withdrawals etc, it would be more stable. But traders don’t want this

Prop Firm Wise
Prop Firm Wise@propfirmwise·
This is why we have been stating for a long time that the CFD prop-firm business model is not sustainable over the long term. Traders must either transition to futures or continue facing recurring payout challenges. Futures-based firms, such as @tradinglucid, move consistently profitable traders to live accounts after a certain number of successful payouts. This structure is essential for maintaining long-term sustainability. In contrast, most CFD firms do not implement such transitions, which is why their current model will inevitably reach its limits. Shifting to futures is the only viable path for long-term stability.
Mathe Wieme@MatheWieme

I just had my account closed by @funderpro for one of the craziest reasons I’ve ever seen: - I bought 3 × 2-step 200K accounts - Passed 2 of them - Received $20K in payouts - Have another $8.5K pending Great results to say the least. But FunderPro still closed down my account for a policy that appears nowhere in their FAQ or TOS: Some of you might have to read that twice, so did I. But it comes down to this. You're only getting paid if you either: 1. Spend more on challenges than you earn (so they still profit from you) → meaning you lose money. 2. Make at least 5x your drawdown before losing a funded account. If not you have to either settle for a 30% profit split, or close your account. I can't stress enough how crazy this is so let me itterate again. You have to either lose money overall, or consistently make 500%+ returns. To make it even worse, I got on a call with them to discuss. We agreed that they would just pay me out at 80% for this account, and ban me after this account. But two weeks later, right before my next payout, they forced another call and completely reversed their previous promises. So I decided to take my current payout at 100% and close the account, because I don't trust them with my money at all. This is not the behaviour of a healthy firm, and it's not just happened to me but to plenty of other funded traders. So everyone, stay away from FunderPro. *Proof for eveything in the comments.
