What could be the last three words of a trader on his deathbed?

Mine would be:

“Buy the dip.”

What would be yours?

I read something interesting recently - poker is often used to train traders.

At first, I laughed it off. But then I thought about my own trades.

In poker, you can make the right decision and still lose.
You can make a bad decision and still win.

Trading feels the same.

I’ve had trades where I followed my plan, stayed patient, did everything right… and still got stopped out. It felt frustrating.

And I’ve had trades where I entered badly, got lucky, and made money. That felt good for a moment, but honestly, it was more dangerous.

Because losses hurt, but lucky wins can quietly build bad habits.

I’m starting to realize a winning trade does not always mean I traded well, and a losing trade does not always mean I failed.

Maybe the real question is not, “Did I make money?”

Maybe it is, “Did I make the right decision with the information I had?”

Is it just me or can anyone else relate to this ?

I’ve been researching The5ers recently, and I’m honestly a bit confused.

On Reddit, I’ve seen quite a few negative comments from traders claiming that their payouts were delayed for weeks, and in some cases, denied at the end after a long wait.

But when I checked Trustpilot, the picture looks completely different. The reviews there seem much more positive, and it doesn’t really match the kind of complaints I’ve been seeing here.

So I’m trying to understand which platform gives a more realistic picture.

For traders who have actually used The5ers recently:

Did you receive your payouts on time?

Were there any delays or extra verification issues?

Did the Trustpilot reviews match your real experience, or did Reddit feel more accurate?

I’m not trying to spread hate or target any firm. I just want to make a better decision before putting time and money into a prop firm.

Would appreciate honest experiences.
