Meet my gym rich trainer. 😂 This guy has been flattering me since Day 1. I always had a feeling he might eventually ask me for money, so I kept my conversations with him to a minimum. He constantly tried to portray himself as rich and wealthy in front of me. Even his Instagram is full of luxury cars, expensive lifestyles, and endless show-off posts. Initially, he kept calling me randomly, but I never picked up. And today, he finally asked me for ₹300. 😂😂 Think about it: people who look rich on Instagram, or desperately try to appear wealthy, sometimes don't even have ₹300 in their pockets. stay away from people who build completely fake images of themselves just to impress others. I go to a reputed gym, so this behaviour was genuinely unexpected. Tomorrow, I'll raise a complaint with the management and ask for a different trainer.

13 Weeks of Consistent Payouts, 3 Weeks of Losses The 5 Mistakes That Cost Me My Funded Accounts A week ago, I purchased five 50K Lucid Flex accounts. I traded them properly and managed to pass all five evaluations within just two days. One account breached during the funded stage, but I still had four funded accounts left. However, I've been going through a pretty tough losing streak for the past three weeks. Otherwise, for the previous 13 consecutive weeks, I had successfully requested payouts every single week. The problem is that current market conditions have been terrible. My setups aren't performing the way they used to, and my trading system isn't delivering the same results. As soon as I started trading those four funded accounts, all four breached on the same day. On November 5, I stacked five new accounts again. Four of them breached during the funded phase, but I managed to secure a payout on one account. Interestingly, I'm still clearing evaluations very consistently. My current evaluation passing rate is around 80%, which is pretty good. Most traders get stuck at the evaluation stage, but in my case, I'm able to clear evaluations. My biggest problem right now is converting funded accounts into consistent payouts. After analyzing my recent trading activity, I identified five major mistakes that I need to fix: 1. Trading funded accounts immediately after passing evaluations I used to start trading funded accounts almost immediately after passing them. But given the current market conditions, this isn't the right approach. Gold isn't offering enough high-quality setups consistently, so I need to be more patient. 2. Copy Trading Earlier, after getting funded, I would take my time and trade each account individually. That approach worked well for me. But after watching other traders, I also started copy trading. As a result, whenever I made a mistake, all my accounts were exposed to the same risk and ended up breaching together. 3. Over-Risking Contract size should always depend on market conditions. We cannot trade the same number of contracts regardless of volatility or setup quality. Risk management needs to adapt to the market. 4. Risking the Entire Drawdown My approach was to secure both my buffer and payout in a single trade. To achieve that, I was putting almost my entire drawdown at risk. Given the current market conditions, this is a terrible approach because high-quality setups have become much less frequent. I need to focus on protecting my drawdown rather than trying to achieve everything in one trade. 5. Trading Under Pressure As soon as my payouts stopped coming, I started doubting myself and questioning why I wasn't getting payouts anymore. That pressure started affecting my decisions. Sometimes, I was taking trades without even having a proper setup. When you've been on a 13-week winning streak and suddenly find yourself in a prolonged losing streak, self-doubt and pressure are inevitable. But that's exactly when discipline matters the most. These are the five major mistakes I've identified, and I'm actively working on fixing them. I know my ability to pass evaluations is still there. Now I need to improve my funded-stage execution, risk management, and patience. Hopefully, I'll soon get back to consistently making **$10,000 in weekly payouts Back to the process.

This Sunday, I bought 5 Lucid Flex accounts. This week is all about passing evaluations and securing payouts. Hopefully, we’ll see some futures payouts coming in next week. Let’s see how many evaluations I can pass and how many payouts I can secure despite these terrible market conditions. I could have secured payouts last week as well, but I was trading with a perpetual prop firm, which affected my focus and prevented me from trading futures properly. Now, my entire focus is on one goal: $100K in futures payouts. Let's see how this week goes ✔️

These lessons cost me $4,000. 14 weeks ago, I started a challenge to road to 1CR For 13 consecutive weeks, I consistently withdrew payouts every single week. But in Week 14, I failed to secure a single payout from futures prop firms. Although I’ve withdrawn $2K from Vest Markets, my main goal has always been to secure payouts from futures prop firms. Here’s what went wrong. 👇 Everything was going well with my two $50K Lucid Flex accounts. I only needed to complete my profitable days to unlock payouts, and I had already completed 3 profitable days. But Gold had been ranging during the Asian session for several days, with very little movement. I thought, instead of trading micros, why not take one mini contract? If Gold moved 30 pips in my favor, I could complete my profitable days and secure my next half payout. That decision was my biggest mistake. My first trade hit a -$600 loss. Since I was copy trading both accounts, I took the same loss on both. Losing $600 was a big deal for me. I only needed to make $150, but instead, I was down $600. Now, I needed to make $750 just to get back on track. Instead of stopping, I made the same mistake again and opened two mini contracts. Another loss. Now, both accounts were down around $2,200 each, even though I still had a $4,000 buffer in both accounts. Then came the overtrading. Two minis turned into four minis, and in a single moment, I blew both funded accounts. Weeks of consistency, discipline, and hard work were destroyed in one week. What did I learn from this $4,000 mistake? 1. Protect your profitable days. When you're working toward unlocking a payout, set a fixed risk limit on your trading terminal. Never risk too much just to complete a profitable day. 2. Don't force trades in unfavorable market conditions. If the market isn't giving you your setup, stay away. And when you're completing profitable days, avoid minis altogether. There's no need to take unnecessary risks. 3. Never increase contract size after a loss. If you're trading micros, stick to micros. Never switch to minis to recover losses. After a loss, locking your terminal is often the best decision you can make. The market isn't going anywhere. If it isn't giving you a good setup today, it might give you one tomorrow or a few days later. These lessons cost me $4,000. I hope I never repeat these mistakes again. 🥲

How Trading Can Turn Your Life Into Hell. It starts with social media. Everyone wants to become a profitable trader. Beginners see influencers flexing profits and start believing they can turn $1 into $100,000 overnight. But the reality is very different. A beginner enters the market with $100–$200, buys a prop firm challenge or deposits money with a broker, despite having zero trading experience. They don't understand why prices move, how the market works, or how to manage risk. They trade randomly and lose money. Then comes YouTube, Instagram, livestreams, and paid signal groups. They start trusting their favorite influencers and YouTubers, hoping to recover their losses. They borrow money, blindly follow signals, ignore risk management, and lose their capital again. This cycle can continue for years. Eventually, the person who entered trading dreaming of financial freedom may find themselves drowning in loans, interest payments, and debt worth ₹10–20 lakh. The next 5–10 years of their life may be spent trying to repay that debt. I'm not saying becoming profitable is impossible. But trading is extremely difficult, and consistent profitability takes years of learning, discipline, and experience. You need to work on yourself brick by brick, develop one setup, build one system, and master it over years. Genuine mentorship can help, but no mentor can guarantee your success. Trading is one of the hardest ways to make money easily. A job or a legitimate business may offer a more predictable path to financial stability. Trading isn't for everyone. If you're a beginner, don't enter the market just because social media makes it look easy. Learn first. Protect your savings. Never borrow money to trade or blindly trust anyone with your capital. The goal should be to build a better life through trading, not destroy the life 🙌

If anyone thinks my payouts are fake or edited, check the Instagram link in my bio. I’ve documented every payout there by opening the withdrawal portal and showing the process. Everything is explained clearly, so check the proof before making accusations. instagram.com/adarsh.sharma_… tumhri reach ke bahar ka banda hu jo bhi Allegations lagana soch samjh kr lagana💀🙌

CFD vs. Futures Prop Firms — Which Is Better? I get asked this question a lot lately. My take? Before choosing between CFD and Futures prop firms, understand your own trading exposure and budget. Here's the approach I personally follow 👇 1️⃣ Build Trading Experience First If you've never made money trading with a broker using your own capital, jumping straight into prop firms without sufficient trading experience isn't a good idea. Build your skills and gain real market exposure first. 2️⃣ Choose Based on Your Budget Budget of $5K or more? Futures can be a good option. Lower budget? CFD prop firms can be a better starting point. But your experience matters just as much as your budget. 3️⃣ If You Choose CFD Prop Firms • Focus more on $10K–$25K accounts initially. • Don't jump straight into $50K or $100K accounts. • Keep a buffer of at least 5–7 accounts. The goal is to manage risk and stay consistent rather than chase bigger account sizes. 4️⃣ If You Choose Futures Prop Firms • Focus on ROI relative to your risk. • Understand payout caps. • Compare $50K–$150K accounts based on their overall value. • Maintain a buffer of around 10–15 accounts if your budget allows. Why? Market conditions change. Every day won't offer the same quality of setups, and poor conditions can lead to account losses. A buffer can help you manage that uncertainty, but it doesn't guarantee profitability. This is the approach I personally follow.
