My real results with futures prop firms
I don't make a living from trading. I buy evaluations, I lose most of them, and once in a while I get paid. These are the exact numbers, pulled from each firm's dashboard, with no rounding in my favour.
331
evaluations bought
78
reached a funded account
3
payouts collected

| TakeProfit Trader | 14 | 3 | 0 |

How I counted this
A number without a method is worthless. These are the rules I followed — the same ones that make the figure lower than it could have been:
- Bought is what came out of my pocket. Funded is what I got afterwards. They are not added together: a funded account exists because I bought an evaluation that is already counted.
- Failed payment attempts don't count. If the card was declined, there was no account.
- Account packs I buy to give away to my followers don't count. Those accounts aren't mine.
- Activation fees don't count as new accounts: that account was already counted.
- Firm-run tournaments don't count, since I enter those for free.
- My affiliate income doesn't count. Some firms mix commissions and trading payouts in the same wallet; I only count what I made trading.
- Where a firm lost my history after rebuilding its site, I say no record. Never zero: I did have accounts, I just can't prove them.
Every figure comes from the firm's own trader dashboard or from a document (certificate, receipt, bank transfer). None of them come from memory.
