I started this year with $900,000 in funding, $400,000 with FTMO, $300,000 with FundedNext, and $200,000 with Seacrest. I lost my FTMO and FundedNext accounts to a silly mistake, a weekend opening gap, and I was left with my $200,000 Seacrest account. Barely a week later, I got an email from Seacrest saying they were shutting down their prop firm to continue as a broker. I was up $9,000 on the account at the time. I had to close the trade and request a payout, and surprisingly, I was paid. My account was terminated right after since they were no longer operating as a prop firm. That was how I lost all of my funding. I went from $900,000 funded back to zero. I decided to purchase a $200,000 FundedNext account, started afresh, and got funded again. That’s even the account I’m currently requesting a payout from. As of last week, I got funded again, $400,000 with FTMO. Ending the quarter with $400,000 with E8 Funding, $400,000 with FTMO and $200,000 with FundedNext. Now, I’m back to being $1 million funded. This is a message to everyone out there. You can lose everything in one minute from one mistake, but as long as your skill is intact, you can always come back. Rock bottom is a trampoline for the skilled.
