I had permanent pro+ about a month back(passed evals go straight to pro+) but I had tilted and blown a few pro+/evals and my permanent pro+ got revoked. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this and got brought back to permanent pro+ and how long of "good trading" it would take.
CAN ANYONE answer why sometimes when I’m logged out I be in a trade I didn’t place . Like I place a sell last night and put my buy limit so It’ll hit where my buy limit at but i woke up and I was in a buy like wtf I thought it’d stop right where I put my buy limit not reverse it to buy order . Pls help because has happened to me 3 times now . Like I hit 500 on gold lastnight on a sell by putting my buy limit but when I woke up I was up 3k on a buy I didn’t place . This been happening to me a lot lately
I drove Lyft every try night after work for a whole week. Recently for 5 days (100 dollars a night) straight in a row and to buy my new set of five 50k evals and copy trade them. Blew them all this morning on the second day.
It’s been an 8 month journey for me so far. About 22,000 dollars spent on evals and account resets.
I’ve passed evals I’ve taken payouts but I’m back at square one.
The $1114.26 you see from my Lyft driver earnings I pretty much spent most of that buying evals and resetting them.
Not giving up though.

Goodbye TPT. You were a good firm once... It's been going downhill for a long while. Holding people when moving to PRO, the new shitty DEV program, restricting sizing, reducing drawdown, giving people something different than what we paid for... been an absolute mess. And the withdrawals in PRO+ are not even close to same day processing. So at best, it's just one more firm now... goodbye.
Hey everyone,
I'm writing this right now feeling completely crushed, frustrated, and honestly lost. I just needed a place to vent to people who actually understand what this feels like.
Trading literally changed my life. After taking home some big payouts, everything felt different. I was so happy, and for the first time, I felt like I was building a real future through the markets instead of being stuck grinding at my day job.
Then came the waiting game. It took the prop firm a whole month to finally set up my live account. The anticipation built up, and when I finally got the keys... I blew the entire thing in just two days.
I don't even know how it happened so fast. Maybe it was a lack of patience, maybe my execution fell apart, or maybe the pressure just got to me after waiting so long. Standing right now between the reality of making real money through trading and going back to the exhausting grind of my regular job is breaking me mentally.
Has anyone been in this dark spot before? Do prop firms usually let you buy another account right away after blowing a live one, ?
I received an email today from TPT that I'm blocked from buying any more exam accounts. I withdrew $110,000 from TPT this year. I think there's no chance of getting the block lifted. Graduating from TPT with only $110,000 is really a bit early.
Has anyone of you also experienced this: TPT closed one of my live accounts without initially telling me which account number it was and what the exact breach of the rules was. Upon investigation after several email requests they finally gave me the account number, but still didn't give me proof of the supposed breach of the daily drawdown rule (at least I assume that’s it). When Iooked at the account data the dd rule was not breached at all, the more because I have put a daily drawdown limit on all my live accounts.
I think the way they treat their customers is very disrespectful and they only very reluctantly clear things up once asked to do so.
Shortly I will be looking to trade with another propfirm that values it’s customers a little more.
Good run, comes to an end doesn’t look like they will lift this
Honest thoughts, been in pro, pro+ moved back to pro (start of this year silver shenanigans) then put back into pro+ then pro+ development.
Great firm hands down is what it is.
Edit: title meant soft block

Hello, I’ve recently bought 5x TPT accounts, however I’ve noticed they are very strict about their contracts. When I messaged their support of the updated gold contract they said it’s GCV6, however we both know it barely has any volume compared to GCZ6. Now I told this to the support and they kept telling me to use GCV6, has anyone else experienced this and use GCZ6?
I've been on Pro D+ for a month, took two little payouts. I think they said they put me on Pro D+ for 60 days. I wish they move me to PRO+ $1250 MD on 50k sucks.
Hi I am in evaluation and is it just 1 round trip considered a trading day or is there a minimum profit to be made ?
could have taken out 800 last night or 1500 by closing the pro account but today i blew the pro account again...gotta do better from now on!!!!
I’ve taken several many payouts with take profit trader but I’ve been curious to know how other traders go about taking their payouts with these intraday drawdown accounts.
I imagine there would be two main ways to do it
Or
Curious to know how you guys are doing it..
I have now had 3 compliance warnings within the span of a month. I trade on Tradovate on my computer, and NinjaTrader on my phone. I trade on a pro+ development account of 150k. For the record in this time span I have lost 3 pro+ accounts.
On Tradovate I do not open a position with an immediate SL or TP, and when I set those, I sometimes cancel the TP and change it based on set up. To avoid losing access to TPT I have asked there team multiple times to just move me back to pro, so I could have access to there platform as I enjoy using it and I want to make sure I leave the firm out of harms way, yet I got an email back from a support agent telling me that it’s basically unacceptable that I even thought that, that, could be a possibility. Wondering if anyone else has run into the same issue, if anyone has any idea how to get a hold of someone from upper management, to get moved back to pro. I’ve spent a lot of money on this firm and for me to get no help and told I’m basically about to lose my account due to spoofing and flashing, and all they send me as proof is a word doc with the time I placed an order (an order stamp) and no other notes. It’s sad. Also if you think legal action may be worth doing as well let me know guys.
Thanks.
Whenever I explain this system, one criticism comes up:
>
That criticism is valid if the only logic is: price fell → keep buying.
That is not what I’m trying to build.
Even genuinely high-quality companies can experience large short- or medium-term drawdowns because of sector cycles, temporary earnings pressure, macro conditions, liquidity, sentiment, or simply valuation compression.
And this creates a common problem for long-term investors:
You buy a good company → it falls 15–30% → most of your capital is already committed near the first entry → then you spend months or even years waiting just to get back to breakeven.
My L1/L2/L3 framework tries to handle the drawdown differently.
Instead of treating the entire position as one average price, capital is divided into separate legs.
The important part is that the lower leg does not necessarily need the stock to recover all the way back to your original purchase price.
Imagine:
Initial position: ₹100
Stock falls to ₹82
A deeper leg accumulates around ₹82–85.
If the stock rebounds to ₹90, the original ₹100 position is still underwater.
But the lower leg may already be profitable and can be released.
That capital becomes available again.
This is the part I care about: capital rotation rather than simply waiting for the entire position to heal.
Markets are also cyclic.
A fundamentally sound company rarely moves in one straight line forever. There can be multiple 5–15% waves inside a much larger drawdown.
Instead of ignoring those waves, the framework tries to harvest them.
So the objective isn't:
“Keep averaging until I am right.”
It is:
“Segment the drawdown so different parts of the position can recover independently.”
And diversification makes this much more interesting.
Suppose you have 15–20 carefully selected companies.
Some may be in L1.
Some may temporarily enter L2.
A few may reach L3.
While one company remains depressed, another may recover and release capital.
That capital can then rotate again.
So instead of depending on one stock making one huge recovery, you increasingly depend on many smaller independent recovery events.
Better diversification + better company selection + strict exposure limits should make the framework stronger.
Of course, none of this saves you from buying a structurally broken company.
If earnings collapse permanently, debt becomes unmanageable, governance deteriorates, or the original investment thesis is invalidated, adding more capital can absolutely make the loss worse.
So stock selection and maximum exposure matter more than the rotation algorithm itself.
I don't see L1/L2/L3 as a way to magically eliminate drawdowns.
I see it as a way to turn a large, slow, monolithic drawdown into multiple smaller capital-recovery opportunities.
The goal is:
Accumulate better → release profitable legs earlier → recycle capital → reduce capital lock-up → make recovery more systematic.
If the selection quality and diversification improve, this framework should have more opportunities to “zoom” capital through recovery cycles instead of waiting years for a single average price to come back.
The screenshot is from the working implementation I'm testing now.
Interested in criticism from people who manage long-duration CNC/MTF portfolios—especially cases where you think this structure would fail.
