Trust has always meant everything to me. I know that when someone chooses ProPips, they’re putting their trust in something I’ve built — and I don’t take that lightly. That’s why I want you to know the person behind the business, what I stand for, and why I started ProPips in the first place. A little more about me 👇 propips.uk/meet-the-founder 💙

One good trade doesn’t build consistency. A process you can repeat does. Plan your trades. Respect your risk. Know when to step away. Discipline wins. #ProPips #TradingPsychology #TradingDiscipline

Not every trader trades the same way. So why should every trader have to follow the same funding model? At ProPips, we believe traders should have the freedom to choose a funding route that suits their trading style, experience and goals. That's why we've built four different funding options: 🔹 1 Step — One evaluation phase. One profit target. 🔹 2 Step — A two-phase evaluation with separate profit targets. 🔹 ProPass — Start for just $10 and pay the remaining activation fee after passing. 🔹 Instant Funding — Skip the evaluation and get straight to trading. But we don't want to stop there. We want to hear from YOU. 👇 If you could design your perfect prop firm challenge from scratch, what would it look like? ✅ 1-Step or 2-Step? ✅ What profit targets would you set? ✅ What would be a fair maximum drawdown? ✅ What daily loss limit would you prefer? ✅ Static or trailing drawdown? ✅ Which trading rules would you keep, change or remove? We're not interested in simply copying what every other prop firm is offering. We want to build funding opportunities that traders actually want. Your feedback matters, and the ideas you share could genuinely influence the future of ProPips. 💬 Let's hear it. What does your perfect challenge look like? 🌐 propips.uk 💙 ProPips | Built Around You

One thing I've learned building @propips_io: Getting someone's attention is easy. Earning their trust is a completely different challenge. The prop firm industry has no shortage of promises, discounts or flashy marketing. What it needs more of is transparency, accountability and firms that actually listen to traders. I'm not claiming we've got everything perfect. But I'm building something I'm genuinely proud to put my name behind. And I'll keep showing up, listening and improving it. That's the commitment. 💙

Sometimes when you’re in a bad place, you think you’ve been buried. But actually you’ve been planted!!

Been way too quiet on here lately. Truth is, most of my time has been going into building @propips_io. It’s been a mix of progress, mistakes, changes, setbacks and plenty of lessons along the way. I want to start sharing more of that here. Not just the wins or the polished stuff — the actual reality of building a prop firm from the ground up. What we’re working on. What’s working. What isn’t. Things I’d do differently. And my thoughts on the prop firm industry as a whole. Going to make a real effort to be more active on here. Let’s see where we can take this 👊

Most traders can tell you their P&L. Far fewer can tell you: 📊 Which setups actually make them money 🧠 Which mistakes cost them the most ⏰ Which sessions they perform best in 📉 Their real drawdown patterns 🎯 Whether they’re actually following their plan That’s exactly why we built the ProPips Trading Journal. And it’s completely FREE. 📊 Track your trades. 🔍 Review your performance. 📚 Build playbooks. 🧠 Analyse your habits. 🎯 Find your edge. No challenge purchase required. 👉 propips.uk/trading-journal Question for traders: If you could see ONE statistic about your trading right now, what would you want to know? Drop it below 👇

Building a prop firm sounds glamorous until you realise 80% of the job is solving problems nobody sees. The website, pricing and offers are the easy part. The real work is in the background — improving systems, dealing with support, fixing issues, speaking to partners, building trust and constantly trying to make the trader experience better. Some days it feels like you make huge progress. Other days it feels like you’ve spent 10 hours fixing things nobody will ever notice. But that’s part of building something properly. Still learning. Still improving. Still pushing ProPips forward. 🚀
