I failed 17 evaluations before I figured this out.
It was never the strategy.
It was me taking a third trade after two losses.
It was me sizing up after a green day.
It was me thinking I was different.
I wasn't. Neither are you.
Follow the rules.
Blew multiple accounts. No excuses. Took 7 accounts from Lucid Trading, 3 went live, 2 were near payoutโฆ still lost them. Reason? Greed & breaking my own rules.
Now it changes. 5โ6 backup accounts ($50K each). One account at a time. $500 fixed risk (same for eval & simulated).
My complete prop trading story along with @Abhiishek45 โ every month, every win, every brutal blowup, no shortcuts. This is exactly how it went down.
From 9-5 employee โ quitting the job โ heavy debt โ account bans โ repeated blowups โ scaling into five-figure months.
2023 :
July 2023: I started trading futures while still working my full-time 9-5 job, learning the ropes every single evening after work.
November 2023: I saw real potential and consistency building, so I quit my stable job completely to chase trading full-time.
December 2023: Passed my first Topstep evaluation, make $1,800 in fundedโฆ then blew the entire account on the last day of making 200$. Completely fucked up. One of the hardest lessons ever.
2024:
Jan-February 2024: Discovered Apex Trader Funding. Started passing evaluations one after another, but still had zero payouts coming out at this stage.
May 2024: Went back to Topstep and finally took my first clean real payout of $800. Small win, but it felt massive after all the struggles.
July 2024: Got my second payout โ $1,800 from Apex. Momentum was finally building.
Sep-Dec 2024: Another $2,000 payout from Apex. Even with these wins, I was still buried under $10,000 in debt from earlier mistakes. The pressure was real.
2025:
January 2025: Returned to Topstep and had my biggest run yet โ took $10,000 in a non-consistency PA and then another $6,000 shortly after.
But right after that, Topstep banned my account accusing โcredit card scamโ. The ban lasted all the way until the end of February 2025. Absolutely devastating.
March 2025: Restarted fresh with Apex again. From March till July 2025 I grinded extremely hard and pulled out a total of $40,000 in payouts โ my biggest breakthrough so far
July 2025: Added Tradeify to my setup and cashed out an additional $7,500 in total payouts.
Aug-Sep 2025: blowing up all my accounts again, learned a lot by mistakes, again loss 10,000$ in evals in this 2 months.
October 2025: I hit reset mode completely โ reviewed every mistake, tightened my rules and mindset.
Started fresh with just 1 TPT account and began taking daily payouts consistently from that day forward. Took 5000$ payouts in only 1 accounts of TPT and 1500$ from tradeify and 2000$ from apex.
December 2025: Started Apex evaluations again and successfully took a $3,000 payout.
also took 3000$ from MFFU in 2025.
2026:
January 2026: Took $11,000 from Apex. Momentum returning strong.
February 2026: Pulled $13,000 from Apex + $4,000 from Lucid.
March 2026: Added $10,000 from Lucid + $3,000 from Tradeify.
