6 figure Futures trader with $850,000 payouts since May 2023. looking to make $300k in 2026 and cross $1,000,000. I am also a Porsche and sports car enthusiast
It’s crazy how social media has made making $300 while trading seem like nothing.
Today i Have a bunch of errands to run and projects to get done, so I barely have time to trade.
But I ended up making $332 on my TPT Pro account during a short Uber ride.
I think people have a really unrealistic idea of what day trading looks like because all they see online are people claiming to make $500K a month.
There’s nothing wrong with making a few hundred dollars, closing the charts, and going about your day.
We need to normalize realistic trading expectations again.
@ShourTrades@rraytradess@Tradeify@fnfutures With small size that they allow on lives there’s often better fills.
Heard this tune many times that I traded on live and sim by copy trading and with a stop market order entry system the mice always filled with better price.
@MihaiOrha I’ve done the skin in game. Doesn’t change much. People still blow up love capital.
I think problem with props is that now it’s become a different approach to trading. And people yolo a lot
Let me make something very clear for everyone to understand.
And this is the raw real reality of trading.
If your finances are fucked up and you are struggling and thinking trading is going to be your saving grace.
I got news for you pal it’s about to strip you of your dignity next.
You will not and i repeat will not succeed or see any progress if things outside of your life in trading are not in order. Let me tell you why.
You will be clinically attached to every trade, the fluctuation of every single dollar in that trade, the outcome of every position. You will not succeed trading under this mentality whatsoever.
You need to be FULLY DETACHED.
Thats the real reality of trading. The truth stop believing these fairy tales.
@TheH0n3stTrader Because they can make 400-1m a month in course sales. Lol
But yeah majority don’t make that a month consistently however there’s way more money in selling courses than there is in trading itself.
I’m sick of the performative BS from people on this app who call themselves traders.
Every day it’s a new person to talk shit about or another “expose” to farm engagement. You’ve got time to break down everybody else’s business. How about breaking down a damn trade?
Show your entries. Explain why you cut a loser. Teach somebody something they can actually use in their next session!
But that would require some of you to know how to trade in the first place.
This is why the industry is so damn toxic. Too many people come into this space looking for attention, and they’ll keep stirring up drama as long as it gets them clicks.
Enough with the gossip and the daily “exposes.” Post a chart. Teach a lesson. Help somebody improve for goodness sakes!
Grow up!
@OkalaNQT@VestExchange 🤣🤣 they’ve been doing nothing but taking shots at opposition for last or two Instead of focusing on their own business. Probably still feeling the pain from the metals
what I meant the entire time is that the rules are too easy. I been around props long enough to know what is too good to be sustainable. People tried to paint it like vest makes money when traders make money…and we’re seeing that is not the case. Rules are already being changed. Still no Kyc.
You can setup alt (multiple) accounts etc.
Milk them all you can while you can tho I got nothing against that.
⚠️ We will never ban event or news trading on @VestExchange.
We will always try to give you the most leverage and trading opportunity we can, while staying sustainable so we can keep doing payouts.
That's why Temporary Leverage Limits (TLL) now also apply to Vest Capital accounts around major market events.
Events and limits:
→ Nonfarm Payrolls, CPI and FOMC: $ES, $NQ, $RTY and $YM at 5x, $GC and $SI at 3x
→ Single-stock earnings: 1x on the reporting stock
Each limit runs from 15 minutes before the event to 15 minutes after it.
When a limit starts:
→ You can still open or add to positions, up to the reduced leverage
→ Limit orders more than 2% above the reduced leverage are cancelled. Reduce Only orders stay, unless the position is reduced or closed
→ Positions more than 2% above it are reduced to the limit. Margin stays in the position and its size shrinks. Fees and any loss on the reduced part come from that margin
→ If your account is not in drawdown and covers the new margin, nothing is reduced
→ If your account is more than 1% below starting capital, those positions are closed in full
→ Take Profit and Stop Loss orders stay active. Fixed-size orders shrink with the position, so check them afterwards
When the limit ends, normal leverage returns. Cancelled orders are not restored and reduced positions keep their new size.
To avoid an automatic reduction, reduce or close your positions before the window starts.

Three years ago, Prop Firm Match launched. Two traders saw a gap in the market for a platform providing simplicity and transparency for prop firm traders. We developed new features not seen before: verified reviews, payout tracking across all payment methods, live spreads, rule overviews, simple ways to compare prop firms, and prop firm expos.
Three years in, PFM has had over 25M website visits, reached over 370,000 members, and has given out free challenge accounts worth over $1,400,000 to the PFM community. Over 100 firms apply to be listed each year and go through one of the industry’s most rigorous compliance processes.
We also got something wrong. Until yesterday, when someone clicked on a firm or a code on our site, a new tab would open the firm’s site through our affiliate link. This should not have happened. We take full responsibility for it. We have reached out to each of our partners to review this together and reconcile any inaccuracies. We respect any decisions firms have made based on this.
We truly appreciate the partners and traders who value the relationship we have built together over the years. We promise you that we will learn from this, hold ourselves to the highest standard, and come back stronger and better.
Following our team's investigation, we will be taking the following actions effective immediately.
PropFirmMatch's code will be disabled due to confirmation of cookie stuffing.
Under normal circumstances, earned commissions at Vest are always paid.
In the case of PFM, their commissions undeniably include siphoning commissions from others, which impacts other good actor affiliates. Since it is impossible to determine the extent to which other affiliates were affected, their commissions will be distributed to the community as an additional prize pool for our upcoming November trading competition.
We appreciate the community's patience as our team determined the best course of action with the accrued commissions.
Prop firm match. How greedy can you be for few more clicks!? You must’ve been making so much money 🤦♂️
Glad props stepped in and did the right thing. Only way to avoid that in future. @PropFirmMatch
After a full investigation into PropFirmMatch’s cookie practices, we’ve decided to throw a live event in Miami, January 2027 on the same weekend as them effective immediately.
Affiliate links and codes tied to PropFirmMatch should use Code BDM and attend my live event which will be 100% free
If you know how we roll during our live events, then you know what time it is.
