The $2.5M payout certificates added to this list... I don't think I ever shared them.
No they don't make certificates for affiliate payments.. and no I wasn't an affiliate at the time of payout.
20 certificates representing the culmination of 14 years of experience in the markets.
One thing apparent with retail traders is they avoid journaling like the plague.
Itâs easy to journal your winners.
Itâs NOT easy to journal losers⊠but the losers are the ones you will learn from the most.
I know it hurts your ego to admit you were wrong, but the faster you kill your ego, the faster you become profitable.
2 hours of dedicated focus a day can change your life.
Cut the distractions.
Stop watching educational content with the live markets side by side.
Put your phone in the other room.
Read a book.
Journal your thoughts.
Turn off the noise.
Future you will thank you.
Dear traders..
I know many of you have half-assed your way to some career success.
Youâve been in your field for 5+ years, have gotten a few promotions, and doubled your salary in that time.
You clock-in..get your work done in 2 hours.. and the remaining 6 youâre just bullshitting on your phone or with your co-workers.
You canât explain with real conviction why the company canât just replace you with someone younger who makes 2x less than you by tomorrow. But they never ask, so you just keep showing up.
That approach DOES NOT work in trading.
You are trying to make a doctors salary with the same work ethic as a deadbeat.
You watch trading videos, and think you have a full system, but youâve never spent intimate time trading and refining each piece before you start risking real money.
Then you wonder why this isnât working for you.
Just admit that youâre fucking lazy right now so you can start using your brain again.. because we both know itâs been fried for years.
Between the brain rot and mundane job, youâve totally lost your critical thinking skills.
You canât make any independent decisions without consulting someone else⊠because thatâs how youâve been socially engineered by the corporate landscape.
Now youâre just another guy/gal down on their luck, spending their pocket change on lotto tickets hoping someone is coming to save them.
WAKE UP!
If nobody has come to save you by now⊠they never will.
Stop blaming the last course or mentor and take some self accountability for your own failures.
You donât backtest.
You donât journal.
You have less than 50 trades tracked using the same exact system/process.
Your emotions still control you even though you know itâs a problem.
Yet you do absolutely NOTHING to fix the problem and are confused why you get the same results?
That my friends is called insanity.
So please, do yourself a favor..
If you recognize the above is you and youâre totally unserious about trading and unwilling to change⊠just quit now and save yourself the headache.
Or lock in, take the 500+ hours of information youâve consumed, and actually start APPLYING it.
The choice is yours.
People love to speculate..
There was in fact a glitch on 6E during my big run at @ApexTradeFund
I was the one that personally reached out and notified them about the issue and they DEDUCTED the profits from my account.
All other trades during the rest of the 3-month period were taken by the book.
Replying to @jadecap_
Is this is STILL years later your only achievement in trading đ
And there's still speculation that you exploited things in order to get that payout.
Thanks for the Moet!
I donât even drink we might just pop it and pour it out for the lost ones @FundedMODS

I used to work as a support staff at Funded Engineer, which gave me access to see traders spend-to-payout ratio, I would look at influencers spend-to-payout ratio and it was negative until i found yours, it was like 10x at that time
You made me believe in trading. Keep going man
On this topic, if you ever find success in the market and have a lot of liquid cash..
Venturing into new business isnât always the best move. Thereâs risk whenever you have capital at stake. Not to mention the headache of managing various things.
I purchased a third property, not mentioned in the previous post which has been an absolute dud.
As soon as we closed, rents in the market dropped 20%, took 5 months to find a proper tenant, and then pipes froze over the winter which cost $6k, essentially wiping out any profit for 1-2 years.
Real estate is extremely romanticized in the finance world as a safe opportunity.
Yeah maybe before prices doubled and rents/COL were reasonable.
Wait til something breaks and you find out how much subs are charging for labor nowadays..
I spent less than $200k at Apex to make roughly $3M
5x payouts @ $60k each - $300k
6th uncapped payout - $2.55M
I bought a $2M 12 acre equestrian farm which is commercial to save nearly $400k in taxes after cost Seg.
I fully renovated my childhood home for $300k as an STR and also did a cost Seg.
I got a 2026 g wagon which helped me write off another $280k
I got a 2019 Ferrari 488 for $300k, didnât get to write anything off here
I still ended up owing $300k in taxes
If my spend were as large as my payout I wouldnât have these assets or that big of a tax bill.
I would just be paying down my debts.
Am I doing it right chat?

The FASTEST improvement in my trading came from isolating one concept at a time.
Most traders think they can watch a video on Fibonacci retracements and start using it right away as part of their system.
Half the time theyâre not even using a proper range high/low.
Once you strip everything down and focus, you finally start to learn the nuances of the tools youâre using.
I would love for nothing more than for prop firms to entirely abolish affiliate programs.
Thatâs why we have a marketing cesspool where attention gets paid instead of expertise.
Bring back the days where real traders built real audiences through their lived experiences in the markets.
Not any of this .. plz use my code bs
The weekend is here.
Markets are closed.
Your blood pressure has finally come down.
Use this time to reflect, learn from your mistakes, and how you can improve.
Do not just write off your losses and forget them.
They are there to help you grow.
This isnât a trading post...
Timeline is grim today.
They are preparing to crash the entire banking system and stock market. They will blame it on AI and before the world plunges into darkness they will offer the masses a new, restored system of programmable money that is AI-resistant. Only those who invested in systems that require no permission to use and operate will thrive and have a chance at a decent future.
Iâm actually amazed how TRIGGERED some of you are that Im investing into something SCIENTIFICALLY proven to increase performance (sleep).
Such broken mindsets roaming this app itâs astonishing.
