@PropJoshD Key is filtering out the cheats as early as possible. Ideally at the evaluation stage or even before. Creates far less friction than having to deny payouts.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

Safe for now.

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

I do love these physical certificates!

Who's going to be next payout? @FundedTradingP

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

Over the weekend, Modi urged India to stop buying gold. I’ve seen a lot of traders read that headline and immediately go short.
The result? The market ticked up and has now settled right back in the exact same price range.
Trading a headline without a technical setup is pure speculation. Global gold prices are driven by much bigger macroeconomic forces. At FT+, we want to see you succeed, which means trusting your strategy, maintaining discipline, and ignoring the noise.

@Iam74151982 More as boxing fan but will see if I am about for that!

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

@chimney1878 @Jonathan_Hinder This isn't true. You can actually do anything if you justify it. The IPOC looked at this matter and took no further action (the airport incident). We can infer they judged it as reasonable force in the circumstances.

Gold has broken a key support level and heading to re-trace more of the fib. Still lots of range and volatility to trade.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

@Iam74151982 I don't. Don't get time to game much these days. I do play Fortnite with my friend, his brother and son.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

Not shot in a while and it shows. Missed a few things 😅 clays only, no animals.

3 years to pass a prop firm challenge?! 🤯

Consistency really does look different for everyone.

He may have even been running multiple challenges at once, but either way, holding and managing a challenge for that long shows serious discipline and persistence.

Impressive. Claude is really powerful. Must be scary for devs, though.

[Nick @Rags2Tendies]

i built a trading journal with Claude.

not a todo app.
not a chatbot.
a real, shipped, production app.
live at https://t.co/YJijjP3QYp - free. (in beta)

here's what's inside:

→ csv import for 15 brokers
(IBKR, Tastytrade, Tradovate, TopStep, NinjaTrader…)
→ trade calendar with P&L heatmap
→ full trade logging
→ analytics across every setup, emotion, and mistake
→ public profiles + shareable trade cards
→ a real leaderboard system w/ ranks
→ risk guardrails (max loss, max trades, streak limits)
→ auth, avatars, seasons, share cards
→ fully rebranded top to bottom

no team.
no funding.
no bootcamp.

just me and Claude, night after night.

every trader needs one.
most will never use one.
the ones who do rarely talk about it.
now they have somewhere to go.

(in beta) https://t.co/YJijjP3QYp - free forever.

either you review your trades,
or your trades review you.

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

Who'd have thought we'd be looking at all time highs on the SPX a week ago. Last two April's we've had large pullbacks!

[Simon M @SimonMFTP]

Best friends reviewing traders.

🚨 NEW VIDEO DROP: Account Review 🚨

Simon & Jamie just broke down a trader who passed in 15 days

💥 81% win rate
💥 100+ trades in 2 weeks
💥 ONE trade made nearly $900

In this prop firm CEO review, we dive into:
• The one trade that carried the account
• Why high win rates can be misleading
• The psychology behind holding a big winner
• How he recovered after a major drawdown

If you're trying to pass or stay funded, you need to see this.
