Met a trader last year who was doing $15-25k per month in prop firm payouts.
Seemed like he had it figured out.
Then I noticed something strange.
He had $2.8M in funding.
But he was only trading 4 of his accounts actively.
The other 8 accounts?
Sitting there. Untouched for weeks at a time.
I asked him why.
He said:
'I don't take the same trades on all my accounts. If I did and hit a losing streak, I'd breach everything at once.'
Smart.
He explained his system:
He'd rotate through his accounts.
Some days he'd trade accounts 1-4.
Other days accounts 5-8.
Never all at once.
This way:
If he had a bad trading day, only 3-4 accounts took the hit.
The others stayed untouched.
Safe from drawdown.
Meaning even if he went through a rough week…
He still had $1M+ in funding sitting clean.
Ready to trade once he regrouped.
I asked:
'Why don't more people do this?'
He laughed.
'Because they're greedy. They see $2M in funding and think they need to trade all of it every single day to maximize profits. Then one bad week wipes everything.'
He was right.
Most traders with multiple funded accounts treat them like one giant account.
Same trades. Same risk. Same exposure.
Then they wonder why they lose everything at once.
If you have multiple prop firm accounts…
Don't trade them all the same way.
Diversify your risk.
Rotate your trading.
Keep some accounts as a safety net.
It's not about trading more.
It's about trading smarter.
This is probably the most eye-opening chart of 2025. French pensioners have higher incomes than working-age adults. It’s mostly debt-financed, yet France has just lowered the retirement age to 62.
Do they expect the rest of Europe to bail France out when the debt crisis hits?
C’est facile de rester calme et confiant quand tu enchaînes les TPs
C’est quand t’es en drawdown, quand tu viens de fail un challenge, quand t’es dans le dur, qu’on voit vraiment si tu es fait pour ce taf
J’ai énormément focus mes comptes propres ces derniers mois.
J’ai laissé plusieurs comptes prop firms quasiment inactifs (FTMO, FN notamment…), j’ai fait des tests…
Je vais faire un vocal à ce sujet car il y a pas mal de choses intéressantes à dire.
Le meilleur edge sur le marché ?
Celui que tu peux exécuter même quand TOUT va mal. Fatigué, stressé, saoulé…
Si tu peux le faire dans le chaos, tu le feras dans les temps de paix.
Je préfère un client qui paye 10k€ que 100 clients qui payent 100€
Moins de support, plus de marge, plus de focus.
Le scaling ne passe pas toujours par « plus », parfois il passe par mieux.
