Anyone else notice that Take Profit Trader changed the reset fee to $199 for the 150K account?

And then they run a “50% off” sale like it’s some amazing deal… when before the sale the reset was literally around $100. So this “discount” is basically just the old normal price.

With intraday trailing drawdown already making these accounts hard enough in current market conditions — wars, global political issues, insane volatility — doubling the reset fee feels ridiculous.

TPT already makes a ton from people failing and paying for resets over and over. Now they want even more?

Honestly one of the worst deals among prop firms right now.

I got into an Ivy League school with a scholarship.

When I first found out and told my husband, he said nothing about it. Instead, he changed the subject and commented on how cute the new dog clothes were.

It made me wonder if he was someone who simply couldn’t share in my happiness, so this time I told my parents instead. They read my message and didn’t reply at all. Worried that something might be wrong, I called them, but of course everything was fine. Their response was, “Don’t do it if it’s going to cost money.” When I explained that my scholarship would cover almost everything, they replied, “But won’t you still have to pay for books?”

For context, my parents are retired, financially stable, and own their home. I paid for my own college education and have never received financial help from them.

Then there’s my best friend. Back when I told her I was applying to graduate school, she said that if I really wanted to study, I could just do it on my own and didn’t need a degree. Ironically, she already has a master’s degree herself and has talked about going to law school once her child is older so she can become a lawyer.

After showing little interest and acting like my goals had no value, she recently reached out again out of nowhere and asked, “What major were you applying for again? What kind of job can you even get with that?” When I told her I got into UPenn, her response was, “What’s UPenn? Anyway, congrats I guess, if it’s what you wanted!”

I wasn’t expecting grand praise or overwhelming validation. But not being able to share good news with the people closest to you is incredibly painful.

And this isn’t just about school.

When I was offered a high-paying job, they reacted the same way. Even when I paid off my husband’s student loans, he was indifferent. My parents didn’t even come to my college graduation—they said it wasn’t important. My husband came reluctantly, like he was being dragged to a slaughterhouse. He muttered a quick “congrats” and left.

Maybe this isn’t the right place to post something like this, but honestly... it’s just really lonely.
