@The_FlowTrader @ATFunded @afconnor1 I haven’t been involved so cj is the authority on this. If you have been missed be sure to politely ask for assistance and likely received a positive outcome.

I am curious about something,
Did @ATFunded refunded and sent payouts to all the traders?
The process is still going on or already finished?

An aggressive short position in the FTSE.
Simply selling resistance.
Closed just below the low of the day.

I have changed my mind on how AI will impact jobs in America.
Previously, I believed AI would replace many entry level roles typically filled by young employees. The technology would then work its way up the organization and eventually reduce the total number of jobs in a company.
The data is saying something different, so when I get new information I am willing to change my mind.
The number of software engineers being hired has been increasing. The number of open software engineer roles is growing.
The number of new college grads who get hired has increased 5.6% over the last 12 months. The unemployment level for people aged 20-24 years old who have a college degree has fallen from nearly 9% to almost 5% as well.
The Wall Street Journal recently wrote “AI created 640,000 jobs between 2023 and 2025 in the U.S., according to an analysis by LinkedIn of job posting data, including new white-collar positions such as Head of AI and AI engineer.”
And I am starting to see companies throughout our portfolio aggressively hiring to keep up with the demand for their products and services.
If AI can make employees more productive, which is widely accepted as fact, then companies are going to want as many productive units of labor as possible. This is a key reason why I am changing my mind.
AI appears to be a magical technology that will make companies more productive and more profitable. The net result will be more corporations, more startups, and more jobs.
All three are big, positive wins for the American economy.

I hate to admit it… but in startups, marketing often matters more than building.
A great product that nobody discovers = failure.
An average product with strong marketing = a rocket ship.
Build the product, absolutely.
But learning how to market it is the harder part.

Thank you to @MartinN_CEO & his support team at @CTI_Funding for sorting my issue out. They have confirmed I was a false positive in their fraud detection systems. To address this, not only did they fix my issue, but they have also reviewed their business bottlenecks. They have now added in adjustments to their business pipeline for future traders to be able to escalate and raise concerns should you be caught in a web like I was 🙏 this is a great win for everyone trading at @CTI_Funding.
But also thank you to the community for backing me up when I needed it. I have always advocated for sustainability and transparency in this space, and I never knew if my words actually reached you. But today, with your overwhelming support, I really felt it. So thank you to all the legends here for helping me make this industry and community a better place 🔥
Since I have been rightfully acquitted of all charges, I will continue to trade at @CTI_Funding.
This is our proof as traders that we do have a voice and that what we do in this space matters 🙏
Alright, let's head back to the charts, Legends 🔥

Looks like it's finally happened to me, folks. Got hit with the most BS denial reason by @CTI_Funding 😂 I have never once been banned, or unfairly denied because I always believed that respecting the firm and their rules will prevent that from happening. Until today, I learnt the respect is not mutual. I gave @CTI_Funding a try as per a mate's recommendation. Using max 1.2% risk only and always setting an SL, @CTI_Funding has denied me a Phase 2 account after 1 month of trading, because they claim I was reverse hedging. What an absolute joke - firstly, I only have 1 account with you so reverse hedge what? Secondly, I am happy to provide full unredacted statements of all my other active accounts at other props to show I took the same trade or same direction trade on all correlated pairs on all my other accounts. Why the denial @CTI_Funding? I invite you to provide full proof, breakdown or any evidence of your allegations @CTI_Funding - but of course, your denial email holds zero evidence. Now I can finally join the ranks of traders unfairly treated by firms. I trade a lot of firms so I can be the guinea pig for traders. Those who have followed my journey also know that I am working on backend solutions for Prop Firms to attain sustainability. And as one of the strongest advocates for transparency in this space, it is almost ironic that I got hit with this. But this is actually why I stay anonymous. So that I can experience Prop Firms without influencer status - this way I can deliver to you trusted reviews and transparent experiences as a normal average everyday trader. But I am to blame as well, I was wrong to try a low-tier firm, wasted my time, energy and it negatively affected my trading psychology. But at least now, we all know to stay away from @CTI_Funding - added to the shitlist. The market is already chaotic enough. The Prop Firm industry is even more of an upheaval. But me? I will be calm. Full trade history provided. I got nothing to hide. @CTI_Funding, how can you identify reverse hedging if it doesn't exist? I know I'm clean and I never hedged, so shame on you - there's enough BS in this industry already, what a disappointment.

@robinf_x Are your aum with darwinex by any chance? If the case, how do you feel abt it?

Managing multiple prop firm accounts is all about controlling risk.
Since I trade the entire allocation of $6.9M + $400K Investor Money the same way, controlling risk across all accounts is essential.
Across all accounts I focus on:
• fixed risk per trade (0.5% - 0.75%)
• limited trades per month (4-6)
• protecting capital first
Scaling comes from consistency, not from bigger risk.
Most important part is don’t rush the process. Focus on proper risk management and sustainable scaling.
Gonna get to my specific Prop Firm Scaling plan in the next posts🤝Step be Step how I’ve done it.

One thing I'll say about the bear market is that CT still feels alive.
Speaks to the growth of the industry.
Even though we've traded 50%+ off the high, people are still here, stuff is still happening.
In prior cycles after the first nuke this place became a ghost town fast.

Stop overthinking trading.
You don't need another indicator.
You don't need a "secret strategy."
You don't need to watch 47 YouTube videos on candlestick patterns.
You need to do these four things consistently:
Cut losses fast
The second you know you're wrong, get out. Don't wait for it to "come back." Don't give it "one more day." Your ego will try to convince you to hold - don't listen.
Let winners run
Stop taking 8% gains out of fear and watching it hit 40% without you. If the thesis is intact and it's working, let it work. Profits feel good. Big profits feel better.
Size positions properly
If you're checking your phone every 20 minutes, your position is too big. If one red day ruins your whole week, your position is too big. Size for sleep, not for maximum gain.
Do nothing when there's no setup
This is the hardest one. Your account doesn't grow from activity - it grows from good decisions. If there's no clear setup, close the app. The market will be here tomorrow.
That's it. That's the whole game.
Master these four and you'll beat 90% of traders.
Ignore them and you'll join the 90% who lose.
The difference between winning and losing isn't intelligence.
It's discipline.

I genuinely think 99% of people should NOT get into trading
It’s not a side hustle.
It’s not easy money.
But that’s all people see…
They see the screenshots.
The lifestyle.
The “freedom.”
But what they didn’t see is
The Thousands of hours staring at charts.
Endless mental warfare, questioning if you’re even cut out for this
The markets don’t care about you and never will
They’re like vampires.
They’ll suck every drop of energy, every ounce of confidence… if you let them.
Trading will break you before it ever builds you.
Most will quit.
Most should.
Because surviving trading isn’t about money.
It’s about surviving your own mind
But the day will come when this all passes
The nights you cried yourself to sleep
The endless self-doubt
The “what if it doesn’t work out” playing in your head again and again
It’s brutal.
It’s lonely.
It feels like it will never end.
But one day… it does.
The fear softens.
The doubt quiets.
And you look in the mirror and see someone stronger than the pain that tried to break them.
Not just the markets…
You survived yourself.
You’ll look back and look at what it took to get where you are and you will be grateful for everything it didn’t just change the numbers in your bank account it changed who you are as a person

There was a girl I truly liked back in university. She liked me too.
But when I asked her out, she gently declined. She said she had sickle cell.
At the time, I didn’t understand why that should stop us. To me, it didn’t change anything. I really like her.
Two years after I graduated, I tried calling to congratulate her when her set was finishing. Her line was switched off.
I reached out to her classmates.
That was when I heard she had passed away just a few days after their project defence.
I was numb for days.
Then it all made sense. Maybe she was protecting me. Maybe she didn’t want me to carry the weight of hospital visits, pain crises, and uncertainty. Maybe she didn’t want to tie anyone to a battle she was quietly fighting.
Some people love you enough to walk away.
