{quote} why with your 100k prop wins you dont trade your own private account (at least additionally)? then 100% is your win, no rules that block you, just maximum win and maximum loss (what with consistent profitable over 1 month should not happen so easy), real trading.
I have a personal accounts as well which are in very good shape. Plus you're missing the point Prop firm is a business venture for me. If i net 100k in 9 months that means good business returns. So i should grow it more not the other way around stop it.
As i always say everyone has different goals, plans and mindset or if you dont have you should have one then you can progressively work towards your goal.

MINE IS CLEAR - I WANT TO BE MULTI MILLIONAIRE IN MINIMUM POSSIBLE TIME . I want Lambo now not when i am 60

{quote} Phase 2 - 5%ers - 5k - Lowest Balance Reached = 4,519 $ [Only 19 $ Drawdown Left] [Now Balance at = 4,787 $] Live Funded - Funding Pips - 5k - Lowest Balance Reached = 4,561 $ [Only 61 $ Drawdown Left] [Now Balance at = 4,936 $] Well, I am still figuring out... Why at first I go to drawdown & keep going into drawdown until hit the rock bottom May be because at first I try to over leverage to make quick profit and not slowly and take things lightly {image} {image}
I guess you answered yourself there buddy. Take it easy, one step at a time, slowly but surely shall win the race. Perhaps,review your performance and trades taken, and scrutinize every decision made and view it with the perspective of ,"if I had done it X way instead" X being a conservative approach, abiding to your rules of engagement, risk parameters etc, then see if your performance would be any different than it is now. Then test the theory on a demo, prove it to yourself and start over. Last thing I would say, "Think Big, Start Small." You'd get there, best of luck to you !

Regards.
I am, because we are.

{quote} ok, so now we will see if this is everytime fix 10 points deduction ...it would mean at rating score 85 we need to be breakeven for the month to get another 30k. I don't give too much attention to risk reduction. Mine is at 0.35 choppy account and 0.33 low DD account. Who cares, I just trade normally . I uderstand why they think rigid risk managent is the way to go, but not for me. Mkt is not rigid, why should our trading be then?!
You were born rigid inside; it's in your DNA. You have excellent self-control and skills. We don't. The Gung Ho Gamblers Party.

{quote} Thanks a lot, Yeah definitely, trading personal account is much better than trading prop firm accounts when we talk about rules: like drawdown, trailing drawdown, news rules, consistency rules, fixed lot size rule etc etc all these restrict us from maximum utilization of our strategy. I will start my personal account very soon when I gather funds like 1,000 $. This will be enough as a starting balance. If my strategy worked out and I withdraw nothing or very less for meeting expenses only. Then just these 1,000 $ can be converted into 1,00,000...
I sympathize with you. I don't want to be rude, but chasing any target in this world requires its own sacrifices, though clearly, everything has its limits. Get a job soon, man, and you can trade anytime with Darwinex. The monthly fee is relatively cheap, and it supports a long-term mindset. Also, don't forget to read this book. I think it will truly correct your understanding of psychology and psychiatry (you have a really messed up psycho jargon there, inside ur mind). Healing. Everyone has their own disorders, and sometimes that's completely normal. What needs to be improved is simply the gain from the disorders. Maybe, with Darwinex is not just about luck anymore. Different world. Maybe.

Goodluck

if you’re net profitable you’ll make good money with one tenth risking your actual money… pick the top firms in forex ftmo, 5%ers, alpha etc and in futures apex, topstep etc…

Look at this stat: I spent 40$ on apex eval + 85$ in activation fees(so in total 135$ at risk) and able to take out 2750$ in total 11 days. Not only that going to pull 2750$ every 10 days… risk is minimal and rewards are pretty high…

Apex having fun again I noticed on the nexusfi forum. This time they locked down a c++ developer trader who claims he did a 100k profit on apex. They required that he should provide evidence of his trading style, and he delivered too Shall be interesting how it turns out as he made his training vids available to public. Created his own indicators even and all.
I dont get it how people dare to request 20k payouts even from apex as if these bucket shops deluxe got infinite cash... But I cant blame them. Respect to the c++ developer aka the prop firm terminator 2 apart from monty the original prop firm terminator.

Sure https://nexusfi.com/showthread.php?t=60734 . Although according to him he did get $70k USD so far from Apex up until June. Now suddenly it seems they pull the breaks? Still $70k is not bad from a bucket shop deluxe. No idea however how they can sustain those kind of payouts to traders like that. So perhaps $70k is the sweet spot limit for some futures prop firms. After that one should be happy and go trade on personal account.

Im familiar with the chap. He was also recently denied a payout for DCA, which was resolved and was paid out. However this recent story seems odd. He says he's made previous payouts, but nothing of the sort is mentioned in any of his previous posts on Nexus. If he was already getting paid earlier in the year, then he wouldn't be asking how payouts work a few months ago. He also says he's a "mentor" with previous training videos that gets uploaded a few days ago?
Trade with confidence, trade without fear.

Hes a mentor to his friends and family only as I understand. Then due to this incident apex wanting video evidence, he then made some of it public instead of keeping it private only. Most likely thinking it will give him some advantage by releasing it to public not sure. But who knows, maybe more to the story.

It struck others odd as well. If you read thru his previous posts, none of this rings true or makes much sense. One can tell by his recent posts. He's relatively new to futures as it is.
