@jaycerifit Respect the patience bro 👏

It’s been a while so here’s an update: Just reached $2500 in payouts in 2.5 months from 1 $50k XFA. I’ve held this account for 6 months and took me 3 months to reach buffer & payout. My strategy isn’t to churn accounts. My goal has been to flip 1 $50k into $1M in prop funding. Currently up to $450k I plan to be active again so I will keep y’all updated 🫡

@TomTruslove @MAGNUS_FUTURES Well done 👏

@MAGNUS_FUTURES I play the same game….

Ah, been some time since I was accused of faking. I have zero incentive to fake anything. I don't sell a course or have a single affiliate code. So how do I profit from this if not from trading? Some more proof, $41,908.00 in gross payouts post split from Topstep alone in 2026.

@KorabiTrades Great work 👏

+$100,000 today. Across all accounts. Had the best buffer for New York, and I still couldn’t catch a trade today due to price making its move instantly off open.

@SithHaters @Leooweb3 Japanese get cultured 😭

@Leooweb3 Or they are Chinese... Get cultured

Whoever made these emojis needs to be fired immediately.

@TraderSumo1 @SithHaters Long dead thread activated 😭

@SithHaters @RichRational Brother, explain to me how you fake these, when you can go look them up publicly? The CME provides access to this if you want to go download it for yourself. cmegroup.com/markets/equiti…

“Patrick just makes money as an affiliate” I’ve made more money trading than any fucking loser stating that I make millions as an affiliate. I’ve never denied I make millions as an Affiliate btw unlike these other fucks claiming they do it all for FREEEEEE

@mrvrazz Well articulated 👏

Alignment in trading is not agreement with price. It is agreement between perception, timing, risk, and action. Most traders think they lose because they were wrong. No. They lose because one part of them saw the trade, another doubted it, another forced it, and another managed it in fear. A fragmented mind cannot produce aligned execution. That is why being right is not enough. If your read is right but your timing is early, you are misaligned. If your timing is right but your size is too big, you are misaligned. If your entry is clean but your management comes from fear, you are misaligned. And the market punishes misalignment more than ignorance. The deepest edge in trading is not prediction. It is internal coherence. When your bias, patience, risk, and execution all say the same thing at the same time, trading stops feeling like force. It starts feeling like permission. That is alignment. And that is why some traders make money with simple models, while others lose with brilliant ones.

bit of a off character post but i think it’s important you will not find success in this industry whether it be sim prop or real money without pain: pain from losing pain from constant mistakes pain from comparing yourself to others when that pain becomes frustration - and it will, everyone successful goes through it… do not let yourself take your flaws and mistakes and pain out on the people closest to you - whether it’s through agitated speech or shutting yourself out etc to become successful in trading or ANY industry you need a healthy relationship with failure and being able to overcome it without letting it take over the most important aspects of your life anyway essay over - let’s get back to shorting all time highs baby 🫡

It's not hard, it's just new.

@Saylor_lll @TopOneFutures

Payout hit. This will never get old. Time to celebrate! 🥳 Thanks @TopOneFutures

@rickytradez @TradingLucid @Tradeify @MyFundedFutures Nice job👏

Officially hit $200,000+ in payouts during my first year trading prop firms. Keep going, do not quit. Soon enough, you’ll see. It was all worth it. $62k in payouts (@TradingLucid) $54.5k in payouts (@Tradeify) $42.2k in payouts (@MyFundedFutures) $40.7k in payouts (@FundingTicks)

@AquilaTrader Thanks brother, valuable insight you've provided

Performance self-sabotage is real and no one is immune. Even experienced traders suffers from it. My fix would be : -Catch it in real time. Name the behavior. - Separate my identity from the outcome. If I failed, I failed and I’m not necessarily a failure. See failure as a tuition. -Build systems that make the right move the easy move ; a system that keeps you from self-sabotage and turns a potential blow into just a loss. Our brains are not wired for success in the market, but wired for survival. We need to outsmart it.

Performance self-sabotage is real. #Trading #discipline #mindset #Psychology

@skelton_apex How to reachout Apex support?

I am not able to tell you why people in comments make claims they do. As you see, social media here is full of false claims, schemes, fake trade gurus, gamblers and account churners claiming to be traders. STOP falling for it, demand proof!

@AquilaTrader @riseaman2 @ApexTradeFund @vedictrades @TraderAryan @Abhiishek45 Agreed 💯

@RichRational @riseaman2 @ApexTradeFund @vedictrades @TraderAryan @Abhiishek45 People don't realize how trading is hard actually. Firms like A..x make it even more difficult. We should blame influencers for that selling dreams. This industry is more and more disgusting

Can someone explain me what's this under review means? I always seen pending or paid status, didn't understand this under review 🤔 @ApexTradeFund @vedictrades @TraderAryan @Abhiishek45

@AquilaTrader @riseaman2 @ApexTradeFund @vedictrades @TraderAryan @Abhiishek45 Fr LoL

@riseaman2 @ApexTradeFund @vedictrades @TraderAryan @Abhiishek45 It means they are looking into something to potentially deny your payout

$40k approved (36k post split) Already up $54.9k this month in payouts Current eval spend ($9220) 🫡

@tamyok_trader GG🎉, my first ever payout was from FN CFD firm.

just requested my first max payout with Funded Next Futures. unfortunately rise denied my application so I have to withdraw through USDT crpyto which also has a further 3.5% service fee or smth. i've also been hearing about a few denials from this prop firm so curious to see what happens #fundednextfutures

Most beautiful message you will listen today. From a true legend.
