A genuinely perfect album. Literally not one note out of place. If there has been a greater album ever recorded, I've never heard of it. Pet Sounds is the pinnacle of popular music.

I don’t drink or take drugs(anymore), but, honestly, Pet Sounds by candlelight, wandering about my room with my eyes closed, feeling the music, is pretty close to a high. I end up channeling Brian as I conduct the songs, bringing different parts in, wrapping the sound around me.

@t0mbfx May I ask what your risk size was to give a 9% DD out of curiosity. Basically what is that DD in terms of R. I note great results in your Darwinex 💪

Had a pretty bad drawdown at the end of November / start of December
Went -9% before I was able to pull it back
During that time I had a ton of people leave my Discord community
I understand why - but those people left at my worst, and are now missing the trades when I’m winning again
It’s like selling all of your shares in the S&P500 when it dips, that’s the best time to BUY
Is what it is though, I don’t blame them

@JessieJ on last nights Hootenany was one of the most incredible performances ever.

@ZamcoCapital FFS ! 🙈 You didn’t ‘clarify’ this in the original post. Clearly set out to scam people. Just didn’t have the brains to do it properly.

I’m old enough to get and appreciate this very good joke.

@saorman @john_mcguirk Not sure how any private investigator could have uncovered that info if Jim was determined to bury it
English

@TradingDuck @john_mcguirk They could have got a private investigator to go into his past. Vet him with Gavins permission. If gavin refused then dont run him, if they found something bad dont run him. Instead martin just powered ahead and assumed gavin would be a clear winner

@JohnnyBorgan I Just realised now upon listening that he did not do the 4 min intro on 'To be alone with you' in killarney. He just went straight into it. But he did it in Swansea as per @nightly_moth post from Nov 12th which I had already listened to. Interesting.

@JohnnyBorgan Fantastic. I was at it. I think ‘to be alone with you’ was a highlight. Lovely 4 minute intro. Pretty sure I never heard him play that live before.

@TradingDuck I was there, too. Fabulous. And that beautiful ending with Lakes of Pontchartrain!

@JohnnyBorgan Tremendous. I just realised I’ve never heard any version of that song outside of the original. Looks like they had a lot of fun.

A brave cover.

The other side of the story- having a reasonable chat and asking Mathe to adapt his trading style to be less volatile. He rejected.
We are willing to work with traders who respect our capital, but we can’t allow traders who gamble at our risk to continue.
It breaks the whole spirit of what prop trading is meant to be- funding safe and consistent traders.

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.
