My experience as a employe in a propfirm

Hello I've worked at 2 of the major prop firms that most of you traders are trading now today, I hope you understand 95% of you will lose more than you will ever make.

There are thousands of people taking payouts, but that have spent minimum 4x the amount to get paid once for that dopamine hit.

Just to share some analytics without giving too much away, my firm has paid out over 50m+ in the last year, and they profit at around 55-60% margins. And this only grows as they change their plans. Please understand that if you are trying to get rich quick all you do is make them richer. They are designed to seem helpful, but in reality if they were they'd give 1:1 drawdown. They tighten the rules. make things harder for an already difficult market. Please do not blow all your money on these firms.

If you have an edge, compound it. Stop going for those big accounts and trying to get paid at minimum pay days.
