📈 $7m in funding passed with propfirms
First time: I made around $8,000 USD, but my payout was rejected because they said I didn’t follow the 1% risk per trade rule (hidden rule) Second time: I traded very carefully and made around $5,000 USD, strictly keeping my risk below 1%. (Near to 0.8%) However, due to entry slippage, my risk was shown as 1.1%. You can clearly see this in the screenshots. That single issue completely destroyed my psychology. After that, things started going downhill. Because of the mental pressure created by these situations, I ended up blowing that account. The impact didn’t stop there it affected my performance on @Alpha_Futures_ accounts, where I was aiming for two max payouts. Instead, I lost what could have been $6,000+ more in payouts. Overall, because of this entire situation, I lost $10,000–$15,000 USD, which is a huge amount for me. Anyone who trades prop firms knows how much hard work, discipline, and mental strength it takes to make that money. Also, the slippage they applied was around 20 pips on 2 lots, even when gold was not highly volatile at that time. I want to be very clear: I have passed more than $5 million in total funding, so I understand prop firm rules deeply. This is not about lack of knowledge it’s about how rules are applied and judged. I’m not forcing any opinion on anyone. I’m leaving this story with you, my community, and with @FTMO_com to judge and decide.
FTMO DENIED MY PAYOUT: I got a 100k swing acc after first payout they restricted me to 1% risk… which I did Bt now here’s the issue… in FTMO 1% restriction rule, you’re not allowed to open a new trade until 1hr after the close of the current trade .. so to beat this, I only trade once a day with 0.95% risk so the 0.5 left would be for spread or fees whatever tf.. one day I had a loss of -1020$ as shown in the image… 20$ extra Bt now did I risk more than my 0.95%? Nope .. A THREAD ~~~~~
