Hey guys, I’ve been trading for a couple of months and have been using my own live account with around $3k–$5k. Recently, some people have been telling me that funded accounts are a much better opportunity and that I can get access to a $100k account pretty easily. Since growing a small account is really difficult, I’m wondering if funded accounts are actually a game changer or if they’re overrated. For those who have experience with both, what would you honestly recommend? Is funded trading really worth it, especially for someone who doesn’t have a huge amount of capital? I’d appreciate your honest opinions, including the downsides!
Finnish Licensing and Supervision Agency (LVV) on Tuesday issued a notice to Google subsidiary, Tuike Finland Oy, to suspend building work for data center projects planned for Muhos and Kajaani until the environmental impact assessments have been completed.
Here's his breakdown:
Burry shared a report from Wall Street lender Ares tracking $573B of AI financing from the last 12 months
All of it runs through just 8 companies: Meta, Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, OpenAI, Anthropic, Broadcom and Nvidia
They lend to each other, guarantee each other's debt and buy from each other, so one company's loan is backed by another company's promise to keep spending
Every deal depends on one thing: AI spending never slowing down
If AI revenue disappoints for even one season, the guarantees could all get called at once, right when the companies backing them are at their weakest
Burry says it's the same circular financing that turned the 2000 telecom fiber boom into a bust
Burry claims the stock market in the first stage of grief and the crash is soon

I failed twice with FTMO over a longer period, then on my third attempt I passed a $6K FundedNext challenge, and in the same month I passed a $15K FundedNext challenge. What kept me going was bigger than just wanting funding. Trading is one of the few things I have learned in my life that truly ignited a passion in me. It makes sense to me, and I believe it has the potential to give me the life I envision. Even when there were no results, I still knew the upside was worth pursuing.
The most expensive lesson I learned was getting scammed. During the forex boom in South Africa around 2015 to 2017 I was still early in my journey. Around 2018, a group of friends introduced me to someone who claimed to be an account manager...

Alpine Funded has cut 50% from its entire Instant range until September 30, taking the 100K account from $599 to $299, with no evaluation and no consistency rule. The term worth reading twice is the free second account of the same size after a trader's first payout, which is a retention instrument rather than a discount: it costs the firm nothing unless a trader succeeds, and it arrives at the exact moment confidence is highest. What the announcement leaves out is the drawdown allowance, the daily loss limit, the payout schedule and the conditions on the advertised 100% split. Those are the terms that decide whether $299 is a good price, and none of them appear next to it. Read the account rules before the deadline does the deciding.
Tradeify wins on checkable payouts and a CFTC-registered brokerage arm. FTMO wins on track record and ownership of the regulated broker OANDA. The gap between them is small, and each has a clear weak spot, which we explain in this article.
