@JadeJMA Happened a lot to me bro no big deal. Just provide source of funds to your banker and will be resolved in 1-2 days

My bank froze my bank account today. All funds on hold. They don’t see that my funds from January until today can be legit . Straight labeled as fraud and under investigation by a fusion of all the legal entities related to finances in my country. I don’t have access to a single cent of my own who knows how long it’ll take to regain access . I can’t make any money either, since I’m not allowed to receive or send money. Already contacted all the brokers, prop firms, gambling sites etc. every single transaction needs to be recorded with reasoning and proof. I knew making a lot of money was gonna lead to problems, but not THIS.

@TritonTrades Pffft. My course is $8K and i'll teach you how not to trade that way

Tori Trades must be making bank today need to buy her $6k mentorship to learn how to trade this market

I only want one thing. And I got it

Man I don't have time for bs anymore I'm just about the charts, making my money

@DaveTradesOpts Agreed !

You will never become a millionaire with 20-30 point trades and taking 1-2 trades a day. That is a lie told by people who haven't even made a million dollars in trading. Notice how Lanto has pulled millions without trading like a squirrel? Use Higher Timeframes.

@Faizytofficial Seems fair

Just moved to MacBook from Windows. I feel like the winrate will increase

@elonmusk Thank you for exposing, @elonmusk

😑

What are you trading this week?

@defidarling Congrats?

just turned $1000 into $25

Show me a better source of income

I wish I knew this sooner

90% of traders fail their prop firm challenge. Not because markets are rigged. Not because the rules are unfair. Because they have no idea what game they're actually playing. 🧵 Thread. Save it before you start your next challenge.

Funded traders who STAY funded all have one thing in common. They stopped trying to prove themselves to the market. Built a process. Followed it without emotion. Treated consistency as the product — not the profit. RT if this hit. Reply with where you're failing.

Unpopular opinion: Prop firms aren't the problem. The people selling "challenge passing services" and guaranteed bots are. If someone else passes it for you — you still can't trade. You'll blow the funded account in 2 weeks. There are no shortcuts.

What actually gets traders funded: → Treat it like you're managing someone else's money. You are. → Set your own daily loss at 50% of the firm's limit. Buffer matters. → 2-3 quality setups a day. Not 15 mediocre ones. → Journal every trade. No explanation = no entry.

Hard truth nobody says out loud: Most people don't want a system. They want permission to keep doing what they're already doing. A funded account doesn't fix broken habits. It exposes them — faster, and more expensively.

Mistake #3: No written plan before day one. Not a vague idea in your head. Written. Rules-based. — Max trades per day — Max loss per trade — Which setups qualify — Hard stop time Without this you're not trading a system. You're gambling with structure around it.

Mistake #2: Forgetting the daily drawdown limit exists. Everyone obsesses over the max drawdown. The daily limit kills you first. One bad morning. One news spike. One "I'll recover this." Gone. Treat the daily limit like a wall. Not a guideline.

Mistake #1: Overtrading to hit the target faster. The profit target tricks your brain into deadline mode. You force trades. You size up. You enter setups that don't exist. The firm designed it knowing your impatience will beat you. Slow is smooth. Smooth is funded.

You didn't fail because of bad luck. You traded your personal account habits on a funded account. Those are two completely different games. Own account → reset, revenge trade, break rules. Prop challenge → one emotional trade. It's over.
