Profitable trading is just being patient enough to be boring.

Years in and this is what it comes down to for me. Curious where other people have landed.

Toys R Us didn't die because of Amazon. Private equity firms bought it, loaded it with $5 billion in debt, charged it management fees while it collapsed, then paid themselves dividends before filing for bankruptcy. 30,000 workers got nothing.

Curious to hear real timelines from people who’ve gone through it.

  • How long have you been trading with prop firms?
  • How long did it take to get your first payout?
  • And more importantly… how long until payouts became consistent and stable?

Not looking for “I passed in 2 days” type answers — more interested in the real journey, mistakes, resets, blowing accounts, etc.

Feels like there’s a big gap between first payout and actual consistency.

Would appreciate honest answers 👇
