- 20 Accounts stay
- 100% Profit Split Stays
- Low cost of entry (80-90% Discounts Stay)
- One-time fee for Evals (no more rebilling, expires in 30 days
- Still 1-day to pass on evals
Cons:
- Tight DLL (See attached)
- Max 6 Payouts per account, then evaluated for live or back into Sim. (Max Payout on (20) $150k account is still $410k)
- Removed $250k & 300k accounts
- Increased Minimum Daily Profit required (to count as a traded day)
Legacy (old) accounts are not affected (everything stays the same).

Today, you don't need my trading strategy.
Use these 5 CHATGPT prompts and see the magic:
The only advice you need if you are in your 20s.
If you’re in your 20s, here’s something men over 30 usually wish they understood earlier: this decade is not about being comfortable, impressive, or “figured out.” It’s about building a strong sense of self through action, friction, and failure. You don’t discover who you are by thinking harder but you discover it by committing to things fully and letting life push back. Pick pursuits that scare you a little. Work on problems that feel slightly above your current ability. Put your ego on the line. The confidence you want later doesn’t come from success alone; it comes from knowing you survived your own doubts and kept going.
Pursue things with all your might, not halfway. Half-effort is the fastest way to stay confused. When you go all in on something - a career path, a craft, a business, a sport, a creative pursuit, you get clarity fast. Either it works and compounds, or it fails and teaches you something real. Both outcomes are wins. What hurts you long-term is drifting, constantly hedging, always keeping one foot out so you can avoid embarrassment. Embarrassment is cheap. Regret is expensive.
Fail big while the cost is low. Your 20s are the safest time to make mistakes that feel catastrophic but aren’t. Start things that might not work. Move cities. Say yes to opportunities you don’t feel ready for. Take risks in love and relationships instead of playing it safe to protect your image. Heartbreaks will happen, and they should. They teach you emotional regulation, empathy, boundaries, and humility in a way nothing else does. A man who has never been broken a little tends to break others later.
Develop character, not a persona. Stop trying to look successful and focus on becoming capable. Learn how to sit with discomfort without running to distractions. Learn how to be alone without feeling empty. Learn how to lose without becoming bitter. Learn how to win without becoming arrogant. These traits don’t show up on LinkedIn, but they quietly determine the quality of your life in your 30s and beyond.
Finally, understand that time compounds more than talent. Small daily actions - training your body, sharpening your mind, building skills, maintaining friendships, working on something meaningful - add up faster than you expect. You don’t need to rush, but you do need to be intentional. The men who thrive later aren’t the ones who avoided pain; they’re the ones who faced it early, learned from it, and kept moving forward with clarity and self-respect.
And always know that there are people out there who walk the same road , they are great because they choose to do the same thing daily with feedback loops in place.
how to achieve financial freedom:
1. get a job
2. stack money, live smart, below your means, save money
3. health max, make sure you have as much energy as possible
4. don't waste time and energy, any extra time, dedicate it to learning new skills, building out side hustles, playing with passions
5. grow your side hustle until it becomes a business
6. stay grateful for your job, keep taking care of your responsibilities
7. keep going hard on side hustle until you see how switching one hour of work has higher roi on the other side
8. max out both, don't get sick, try not to burn out
9. finally make pivot, quit job, give everything to side hustle
10. keep expenses low, max profit, scale without losing quality
11. build out systems, hire the top talent, grow together
12. put extra money away at 3%-7% a year, $100k = $3k - $7k, $1M = $30k - $70k, $10M = $300k - $700k, etc.
13. keep growing business, evolve, level up
14. alongside savings and compounding, set aside $ for "higher" risk investments
15. make sure everything you aligns with each other
16. live off 3-7%, + continue being an extremely cash flow positive business and individual
17. have fun, keep taking care of your health
18. diversify into real world assets, real estate (if you want), and always into yourself
19. buy bitcoin, have some in CEX, some in cold storage
20. life max, improve health, make all systems more efficient
21. have fun x 100
financial freedom
also please be mindful that not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur and their own boss
this list is for those that are
The year is almost over…
A whole year where you probably said you were going to get your trading business in order.
Yet the year has gone by… and you’re still over-leveraging, over-trading, revenge trading, and not journaling.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results.
Input -> output
Profitability is found in the tasks you’re avoiding.
If you make a New Year’s resolution and it’s the same as last year… you have a problem.
Time to own 2026.
