HAVING GRACE IN TRADING

No matter what, trading is always a really tough job, psychologically and emotionally. I know of a lot of traders that had rough Julys or are in drawdowns or are really beating themselves up over how they traded the semi bounce trade.

Given the pressures and stresses of this job and how type A competitive most of us are, it can be so easy to be incredibly hard on ourselves. I'm not sure all of that is productive, and I'm certain that it makes for a far less pleasurable career.

A few years ago I worked with one of the top health programs in the world, and my Incredible coach, Dr. Chris Perry, gave me advice that has stayed with me ever since.

During that time, one of the hardest things I’ve ever experienced happened. as a result, my sleep was terrible, my health habits slipped, and I was frustrated with myself because I felt like I wasn’t living up to the standards I set.

Dr. Perry advised me to have some grace for myself. His point wasn’t that what happened didn’t matter. It was that I needed to recognize I was going through something difficult and treat myself with the same compassion I’d show someone else. That mindset is what allows you to recover and move forward quicker and more effectively.

I think traders need this reminder more than almost anyone.

When you’re in a drawdown, questioning whether you’re actually good enough, or replaying mistakes over and over, it’s easy to let one stretch convince you that it defines who you are.

It doesn’t.

Grace isn’t about lowering your standards. It’s about separating what happened from who you are. A bad month doesn’t make you a bad trader. Blowing up an account doesn’t erase your potential or your ability to build the skills needed to succeed.

Hold yourself accountable. Learn the lesson. Then move forward without endlessly beating yourself up over what happened.

@FTCustomerCare @StanFXTrading how the fk is your firm still alive
Scammed thousands of traders
Wasted thousand of hours
What the fk man

[TOP G @TENGGUI]

50% percent off any evaluation is a MAJOR RED FLAG. I REPEAT.
MAJOR RED FLAG
Doesnt matter if they have a good trust pilot review or if they really paid traders, all those reviews and certs can be faked easily. You could be the unlucky one to get denied payout with ridiculous excuse when their cashflow runs out.
And it applies to all prop firms.
Sadly and unfortunately , people in the prop firm space will have to learn it the hard way by wasting precious time reaching a payout only to get denied after purchasing these cheap and crappy evaluation accounts.

@fundingtraders random name generator and payout amount, no QR codes for verifications. Are you trying to scam kids or what? 😂😂😂
@StanFXTrading get a life bro. go do something else. Your shitty firm is going down in no time

[TOP G @TENGGUI]

If they want to pay you they would have already did, no interview or whatever bullshit reason needed.
FTMO and those top firms will NEVER schedule an interview with traders, they either pay if you stick to rules or deny if you didn’t. The interview is just a tactic to stall your payout and then deny it if you’re unlucky.
Thats what funding traders did to many traders using the bullshit IP address excuses all these while.
All the best bro, but I think you’re just another one the bit the dust :(

@StanFXTrading fking low life prick pay the traders and stop hiding behind your screen you idiot

❗️PROP FIRM SCAM TACTICS ❗️
@fundingtraders — since people deserve to know what actually happens behind the pretty marketing and “we believe in traders” slogans.

I went in already a bit skeptical. I saw the reviews on X and TrustPilot — traders saying payouts get delayed, accused of things they didn’t do, etc. But I thought, alright, maybe they’ve improved.
That was my first mistake.

I passed their evaluation cleanly, only one try(paid $500 evaluation fee for a 200k account)
Requested an $18,000 payout.
Every trade placed manually from my own iPhone — no copying, no mirroring, no automation. Just me and the charts

Then suddenly — ✨The Compliance Interview✨ appeared.

Apparently, they wanted to “get to know my strategy” and “work together long term.”
(Which is funny, because prop firms make money from challenge fees, not my personality.)

So I get on a 30-minute Zoom with their so-called “Head of Risk Management.”
I explain my system. Step-by-step.
Honestly I don’t think he understood even half of what I said 😂😂

Then at the end of the call, they hit me with:
“We found similar IP usage. We are investigating now.”

Right.
Of course.
The classic copy-trading accusation when the payout is big maneuver.
The industry’s favorite magic trick.

Thats not the end, as expected, I received first of the two email, saying I failed my funded account.
Failure Reason ? None ( as stated in the email hahaa) I wonder who is running these firms or maybe you should consider firing your staffs @StanFXTrading
And the second email came in , of course, “tangible and verifiable proof of coordinated trading behavior” attached with some random IP address generator and IP coincidences. 🤣🤣🤣

If they wanted to deny the payout, they could’ve just said it.
But no — they scheduled a friendly little interview to make the whole thing look professional and meaningful.
Like handing someone a gift-wrapped empty box. Wasted my time

And then proceeded to bann my account after sending those emails
Oh please like I really need this shitty firm to make money.

I’m fine not receiving the payout. Yeah, $18k is a decent chunk — but I’m already max allocated with @FTMO_com and I trade my own capital.

To be honest I’d never thought I’d became a victim of prop firm scams, furthermore scammed by these guys using ridiculous excuses

This post is for the new trader who is going to grind for months, sacrifice weekends, obsess over charts, finally pass the challenge — only to get slapped with “similar IP” right when it’s payout time.

That’s the part that actually stings.
Not the money — the time.

What surprises me more is how @PropFirmMatch still features FundingTraders like everything is sunshine and transparency. I genuinely hope they take a proper look at what’s happening.

FundingTraders has been around since 2022.
Their CEO Stan is publicly active on X — which is… bold.
Imagine being publicly doxxed while running a firm where payouts suddenly become “issues” the moment they stop being pocket change.
I believe you can do better.
@StanFXTrading

Maybe small payouts are fine.
Maybe anything above a certain threshold triggers “IP investigations.”
I don’t know.
But patterns speak louder than their interview scripts and excuses

My following is small — but if this message reaches even one trader before they waste months of effort, then it was worth typing.

Do your research.
Protect your time.
Not all prop firms are actually here to fund anyone.

This shit needs to stop

FUNDING TRADERS DOESN’T TRULY CARE ABOUT YOUR SUCCESS..

Didn’t think this day would come but it appears it has..
I have been with this firm for over 9 months now and have received two payouts in the process(3+ years of failure/experience in order to do so). However, ever since partnering with this firm, they have made it a constant struggle to receive my payouts in entirety. My first ever payout with them was well over $12,000 and only managed to receive ~$8,000 after months of discussion through email with their Risk Team. My next payout they only managed to wire me 50% of what was made in which they were unable to provide me with a specified reason as to why 50% was their decided consequence for the “excessive risk” being made when they previously allowed for 2-3%(which I followed). As a result of my performance and the deductions that were made, this firm has profited over $5,500 because of my own trading knowledge and capabilities. Today I was informed that my two funded accounts have been deactivated which have over $13,000 of funds combined that have been realized on their live account so that I am able to be paid. But because they have banned me from the platform, they now have full access to these funds and are denying me both of these payouts that took me over 2 months to generate. The reasoning for the first termination was due to “excessive risk” and risking more than 1% of my account when under contract, I am allowed to lose no more than 2% at any given time. Therefore, there was never an infraction of Terms of Service within that account. Their other excuse for this termination was due to “Grid Trading” which means taking more than 3 trades at a time exposing the account to potential risk of breach and losses(this is assumed because they do not specify these terms in their guidelines). I managed to only take 2 trades at a time within this account so that this rule wouldn’t be breached. Also as an experienced trader there is no need for more than one position as you can simply adjust the lot sizing to match your risk/reward. I have given them evidence and have proof of abiding by every rule under contract yet they have decided that terminating my accounts as well as banning me was the proper way to handle this issue. I have responded back to this termination via email and am waiting for them to handle it with more reason but have continuously warned them that if they continue to falsely accuse me, I would bring this matter public. So if these accounts do not get reactivated and they do not figure out a way to pay me the profits I earned, I will expose them entirely with screenshots from our email messages(I am unable to now due to the legalities of our contractual agreement). Will keep everyone updated here with their response. Spread the word so that traders are aware of how this firm truly treats their traders. Especially ones who are profitable.

@ciaranceo @QtFunded Good luck bro 😎

[R1X TRADES (GER40) @1XRISK]

Payout Denied. Again.

This time, @FundingTraders denied my $1k payout, claiming I had “overexposed trades” and came close to breaching my daily drawdown even though I never actually violated it.

And that’s the real question:
👉 If a trader doesn’t hit the daily drawdown, why have the rule at all if you can still deny payouts for getting close to it?

Risk management is about respecting limits, not guessing intentions. I traded within the rules, protected my equity.

It’s confusing to call a strategy “profitable and sustainable,” yet deny payout because it’s aggressive but not violating. Transparency should be the foundation of every prop firm. Traders deserve clarity not moving goalposts. ⚖️

After my first payout was denied, I decided to stay calm and give them another chance. I started a new account, traded cleanly, respected every limit, and made another payout request yet here we are again, denied for the same kind of reason.

That’s my breaking point. I’ve now decided to step away completely and even close out my remaining Phase 2 account. There’s no point trading with a firm that makes payout approval feel impossible, no matter how disciplined you are.

I’m sharing this openly for every trader who values honesty and transparency. Protect your energy and your time always work with firms that respect their own rules and reward traders fairly.

Lesson learned. ⚖️📊
Avoid those scammers at all cost.
