I'm new to prop firms, and this is my first-ever 50K Futures Challenge with @Tradeify. I passed the evaluation within 3-4 weeks. I took it slow because I'm a conservative trader and not a big risk-taker, so I never risked more than $180-$220 on a single trade. It would have taken 10-12 losing trades to breach the account. I couldn't feel happy about passing, as I still tend to revenge trade at times after a loss. Because my prediction win rate is very high, I somehow survived without breaching. I badly want to check whether I can receive a payout in my bank account without any issues, as there is a lot of uncertainty around payouts to Indian bank accounts. I contacted many people who claimed to have received payouts, but I haven't got solid proof yet. No one is ready to share it. Most of the traders who claim to have been paid are influencers, and they all seem to be hiding something. Anyway, I will try and confirm it myself, and I will share my journey transparently. If any Indian retail prop firm trader sees this post, please share your experience: have you received a payout in your bank account without any issues (not via crypto)? It would help all the newbies. Thank you. #RetailTrader #Tradeify #PropFirms #FundedAccount #FundedTrader #USFutures #IntradayTrading

The holy grail of trading isn't a strategy. It's your brain 🧠 #Trading #Brain #HolyGrail

If a strategy is 100% mechanical, it may not work the same way it used to for long. The market is so dynamic that I feel discretion is always necessary to adapt to every market regime shift. Even an expensive course or the world's best trader can't teach you that part. It takes many years on the charts in the live market, and then your muscle memory does its job. Your ability to enhance your discretionary skill depends on your passion and love for the charts. My strategy is 50% mechanical and 50% discretionary. Once you include discretion in your method, trading becomes easier. All we need to do is STFU and stay calm on a bad day. If you can control yourself at that time, you'll reach the elite 1% club in no time. #TradingPsychology #TradingTip #TradingDiscipline #IntradayTrading

I didn't believe in the PR work done by influencers until I saw these clowns. My timeline is flooded with ICT every single day, no matter what. At this point, I'm convinced there's some PR work going on behind all of this nonsense. These people behave as if there's only one strategy in the world, and all they do is scalp 25-30 points with a 1:1 RR. What a joke😂 If you feel the same, please share your experience in the comments or repost this tweet. #ICT #OverHyped #STFU #Scam #IntradayTrading #TradingStrategy

Hey @grok If Elon had given up on you during tough times, you wouldn't exist today. Don't f**king QUIT 🔥 #Trading

Who's going to tell him that's a simple double bottom pattern on a lower timeframe?🤦 #FuckICT

For some reason, I feel like today is a strict 'no-trading' day. Trade safely, guys! 😇

Fuck you, ICT clowns 🤡

Good question... I asked the same to many influencers posting huge payout screenshots... Either they don't respond or block me 😂

Couldn't cross our zones yet 😇

MES 5m TF. By the time ICT traders enter, well after the move has started, CPR traders have already booked good profits by entering at the exact top. That's the power of the Central Pivot Range 😍 #CPR #CentralPivotRange #USFutures #FundedTrader #FundedAccount #PropFirms #Intraday #Trading

MNQ 5m TF. Superb Trendline Breakout 💚 Scalped and exited soon in fear 🥲 It makes me so nervous when I'm on the verge of passing the challenge.

Dear prop firm influencers, if you truly want to motivate or inspire retail traders, show them the path to becoming disciplined and following a process religiously. Don't post huge payout screenshots (mostly fake) and assume that motivates everyone. Unprofitable traders should take trading seriously and follow only a few genuine influencers who don't mislead people. If you follow plenty of handles and try to copy everyone's style or advice, you'll keep blowing accounts forever. "Less is more" isn't just a trading rule. It applies to the gurus you follow, too. #FundedAccount #PropFirms #FuturesTrading #RetailTraders #Influencers #TradingMindset

Beware of fake people

S&P 500 Spot chart 📈 Crazy bounce from Monthly CPR 💕 I missed this trade because I had already closed my system to avoid overtrading today😞🥺🥶 #CPR #CentralPivotRange #InstitutionalReversals #USMarkets #FuturesTrader #SpotChart

Could have passed my first eval, if I had held my position 😞 Good fall came after that 🥹

A friend of mine topped his college. Gold medal, fastest problem solver in every room. He thought intraday trading would be easy: "Markets are just patterns and probability." He studied like a topper, 20 books, every indicator, backtested on everything. But a few months in, he still couldn't make consistent profits. His ego couldn't accept it. "How can the market do this to me? I'm the smart one." So he started revenge trading to prove a point, and every loss made him trade harder and lose more. He knew every rule the whole time. Knowing was never the problem. IQ isn't really needed in trading. EQ is what matters. Emotional Quotient is your patience when nothing is working, your calm when a trade goes against you, your honesty in admitting you're wrong, and your discipline to follow the plan when your ego wants to fight back. In trading, knowing is 10% and controlling yourself is 90%. #IQ #EQ #IntradayTrading #PropFirms #FundedAccount #DayTrader #TradingPsychology #TradingDiscipline
