6 months? For most, it’s years. The worst part is you probably won’t breakeven or become net profitable years later. This is a craft that takes years of losing over and over with nothing to show before it finally starts to compound
"put me on bro"
For the next 6 months, you’re going to spend more time staring at charts than with your friends and family. You’re going to backtest setups until your eyes burn, journal every loss, and sit on your hands when there’s nothing to take. You’re going to wake up before the session, check the news, and go to sleep replaying the trades you got wrong. You’re going to blow a demo, then fail your first prop firm challenge, then your second, then question whether you’re even built for this. Then, after all that, you’re going to pass an evaluation and risk a funded account on a setup you’ve seen a thousand times, knowing one bad day can breach it. You’re going to watch other people post payouts while you’re down on the month, grinding through a drawdown nobody sees. And after all of that screen time, all of that discipline, all of those reset fees, you’re still only a fraction of the way to becoming consistently profitable.
@Fetworg@fundingpips No just make sure you read the rules thoroughly and try not to do anything worth being flagged for. Nobody has ever got a payout denied from them
This argument is dumb. Your lot size shouldn’t determine how much you make since it’s relative to the size of your SL and how much you’re willing to risk on that setup. And to support your argument, there’s no telling how much exposure your lot size has because not every broker/firm uses the same contract size per asset
@thesoheibTradez@fundingpips@avikkfp Didn’t get a payout till my 3rd year. Don’t be too hard on yourself just submit to time or else it’s gonna take longer. trading is a paradox
@Khldfx I’m having an issue with you guys but don’t want to voice my concern online. I’ve contacted support via email & discord but each agent is giving me a different response. Can I DM @avikkfp or someone with higher authority to sort this professionally
@ZamcoCapital Yeah bro the cfd market just doesn’t have good price action. On the other hand “features” is where’s it at. They’re not as choppy as the cfd market
The reality of social media trading is that only a handful of people treat it like the business it actually is.
Most people treat this shit like a video game they log in, play for a few hours, and hope to win.
To be honest, it’s pretty sad to watch.
If you’re in your early 20s and have a couple thousand to your name
WHAT ARE YOU DOING PUTTING THAT IN THE S&P500
I don’t encourage gambling
But when you’re young and don’t have much, you need to be high-risk
Putting $5k into the S&P500 when you’re in your 20s, cool that’ll be $25k by the time you’re 40
But if you’re more risk-aggressive and put that $5k into something that has the potential to 5-10x in a year?
Now you’re sitting on $25-50k and actually have capital to DO SOMETHING with
You could start a business, start day trading with that money, continue to invest it in specific stocks with more upside than the S&P500
But at least you have something to work with
Be risk-aggressive when you’re young
You only need 1-2 right plays to set you up for success later in life
