Final post i promise:
Why multi million, profitable businesses use vercel AI design on their sites?
For small businesses, sure it makes sense? But when youre making millions, vercel AI design and claude is fucking disgraceful.
No more posting for the week.

AMA To all prop firms, please ban VPNs for the love of god.
Then no excuses to ban people and no excuses from traders of sharing same IP.

Another Weekly break from Posting for me.
My feed is filled with so many different prop complaints on payout delays, random breaches etc, it's about to get super fun next week I reckon, will be in the sidelines watching.

Here is what I would do if I was a large prop firm, given the market:
1) Review all paid partnerships, affiliates and retainers. Look at their performance over the last 3 months, is their ROI positive or not? If not, end partnership, unless engagement is high
2) Review all products, what sells and what doesn't and why
3) What regions are the most profitable for your firm and why
4) Dissect overall marketing spend, especially if paid ads watch costs over 100k a month
5) Have a human designer or ideally a team that can push marketing on demand and be adaptive ( this one is more important than you think )
Thats 50% of the way to recovery already, the other 50%, well get those full time employees to use their heads to come up with proper solutions, or hire an external resource.

Hot take:
Moving traders from prop to broker is not a good idea.
After reviewing the risk parameters, I think its wise to keep traders within the prop ecosystem as there is a high chance once they get on the broker, they will leave your prop and go with someone else...
Especially if you do not have perfect support, trading conditions or else.

The prop market especially in CFD, has a ton of potential, especially in the Demo sphere.
After reviewing the current legislations, it may very well take up to 2030 - 2032 until we see some global regulatory movement regarding the space.
I do know that the regulators are actively discussing how props should be classified but there is no agreement and cant even get past a draft for now.
I think any serious player, should have their own licences, own tech, own IPs and most of all in-house staff.
Time to be a PAAS sellers and become something more than just temu casino shops.
If anyone is looking to upgrade their payout or challenge structure let me know, i got something interesting cooked up (focus on 1 step for now)

Further brain dump and more of a market question:
If a prop firm is on - chain or not, will that ever sway you from purchasing an account or not? Or will just a on-chain proof of reserves should suffice?
Question to prop firms, let's say you have 80% profit split which is defacto the standard, why do you not reinvest the other 20% split to your reserves for a rainy day / month / year? Then have that money built as a "reserve" for volatile periods? You can have it automated too, so it directly leaves your Bank account / wallet into a public wallet people can track on your site?
We are getting too much technology bloat, will an average joe care how cool your tech is no? For me, Yeah cause I am a Nerd, so be it.
Sacrificing just a little more of your wallet to have a stable and growing business is way sexier for an average individual than going balls deep, spending 6 / 7 figures on tech, most won't give a flying toss around.

If the business is slowing down in revenue for whatever reason, in this case we talk about Prop firms, should they pivot and change their product?
Yes. BUT...
A product should change that benefits both the customer and the business.
Current customer should NOT be impacted by any changes with the product that they own.
What you do is turn the current product into a LEGACY product and release an updated product.
However, only do this once, everything in the backend and in the development mode is fully completed, tested and pilot studied.
Props should only do this as a resort.
ALTERNATIVELY, if a prop firm is doing extremely well and see the market has change, should they pivot too?
Possibly. But why?
In this industry being ahead of the curve is much more beneficial than being reactive.
Given that the average client maturity rate happens at around month 6th whereby they either stay for life or permanently move to another business, it takes time to plan, test and design new challenges that NEED to sell.
I always say be proactive rather than reactive, or risk becoming part of the Prop Graveyard.
Hint, Majority of the current top prop firms will have or are already having liquidity issues based on their current plans.
All you need to do is check for extended payout delays, retroactive rule changes, or bans for the dumbest reasons.

For individuals / businesses who are reaching out to me, please:
Do not ask for all the systems up front or specifically ideas how to stop payouts from reaching customers in a legit way
Do not jump on calls without having an actual company set up, strong backing/budget
Do not offer full time positions
Do not offer equity
Do not put anything regarding non competes in your NDAs or otherwise.
Always happy to have a chat over a call, but it needs to be beneficial for us both.
I have been working as a consultant for multiple years now and it has served me well.
Side note: A CFD Broker is looking for a head of marketing / Marketing Manager with prop experience (do not have much more details than that)
It's completely NDA, so if you are interested, send over your skill set and experience (names redacted please)
and I will pass you over to them for review, for the individuals they are interested in, they will let me know and you can formally exchange details with them.

Statistically getting to funded is already difficult for most people: circa 13% and then getting a payout from the account drops to around 3 -4% (these numbers can highly fluctuate dependant on vol of sales / volume of passing)
I think i found a solution to an equitable payout system, whereby everyone get paid no matter what, without completely breaking firms
Frankly, you could even have instant automation without doing manual checks.
Currently in final prototype testing.

The CFD prop industry isn't really dying from less sales, as I think there is such a large population of traders that the prop industry hasn't touched yet.
The reason why it's slowing down, it's because the jackpotters are getting banned everywhere, which means that either that go and join a worse quality firm and/or leave the industry completely.
Solution is not to punish jackpotters, but to find a way to provide more consistent flow of payments coming in and coming out of the business, especially when it comes to cashflow.
Payment cycles were created as 30 days for a reason, I think 15 - 20 is the sweet spot of sooner payments without sacrificing your bottom line. 7 days and below it's a nightmare to control.
Few solutions thought of and built

Final PSA for the week from me:
Brokers, just because you can pump out the same shit as FTMO etc, and say you're broker backed, it no longer means anything.
The prop holdings are tied to a shell in MOST cases, so that if something goes wrong, you will come out unscathed for the most part.
Why do I think that, because I did my due diligence, and most of the so called broker backed props, are nothing more than props with a name attached to it for marketing purposes.
That gimmick worked in 2023, anyone with half a brain can get a broker licence in St Lucia / St Vincent / Seychelles etc.
It does not make you special in anyway, your product marketing does.

Seeing how everything can be generated with AI within seconds, unpopular opinion but original and creative designs and marketing will be worth a fortune soon.
After a boom, there is a fatigue and I think the society is getting to that stage.

So, On-chain props.
I think they are very interesting, not so much for the product itself, but the technology it can truly posses, which can be super fun from competition perspective, marketing and then of course challenge types.
I personally do not think either 2 step or instant funding is viable.
Also whilst on-demand payouts etc, are an interesting gimmick, I do not think it's a sustainable practice at all.
Additionally instant payment is nice, but again not ground breaking as other non on chain props have introduced it a while back.
On chain props do need substantial backing, which is a negative, and specific target on customer base.
So far I've seen some promising projects, but a lot of the explanations are too complicated and most likely will go over the audience's head.

Do you know what? I genuinely give up on this industry.
A report has been filed for deceptive marketing. Fortunately not me, but someone who has a bit more of a vendetta against the firm. It may take months for the investigation to start, so if anyone else would like to file the report as well to strengthen it:
ch.ch/en/safety-and-justice/…
You led people to believe this was real, there was no disclaimer to say it's a prank or staged or whatever else.
Absolutely grim behaviour.
If you honestly believe this was some amazing marketing, please give your head a big wobble.
Anyone that has active accounts with the firm, you can file a chargeback on the grounds of false advertising, deceptive marketing etc.
This is my final comment on this little stunt.
If anyone continues to buy challenges from this firm, this is on you. You have been warned.

I always found expos to be just a dick swinging contest and marketing.
News Flash, nobody will go there and spill industry secrets, yes some prop firm owners will naturally chat shit about competition only to go back to their hotel rooms/homes and copy each others ideas.
Real work happens behind the scenes.

Give this fella a follow, and if you're out there hunting for a free account, this is your chance to enter a legit giveaway.

I'm genuinely excited to bring the biggest giveaway, discount and a jackpot pool all together for the first time in prop history.
$1,000,000 in accounts.
60% off first purchase, 50% off repeated purchases.
Jackpot pool that will be distributed amongst 5 winners.
Everything has its own merit, qualification and reward.
As you all know my personal experience has been great with @fs_futures, I asked the owners to allow me to give back to the community in my own way. I don't usually acknowledge or recommend firms but this one I can truly get behind.
For the $1,000,000 giveaway, it will run from today for the next 4 weeks. All you have to do for a chance to win is repost this post, follow @FS_Futures and join and engage in discord here: discord.gg/fundedseat
10 accounts of 25k Flex 40% consistency will be given to 10 clients every weekend who have done the steps above and are active in discord. 40 accounts in total for the month.
For every purchase you make through the following link: fundedseat.link/jackpot or by using the code JACKPOT at checkout.
You are automatically given an entry in the raffle, more purchases = higher chance of winning.
This code and discount is active till EOD 14th June, 2026. First purchase will get you 60% off any plan, repeated purchases will get you 50% off.
Now the interesting bit, the Jackpot pool comes from nothing else but the 15% commissions affiliates earn from sales. In this case, I get to keep nothing and all the affiliate income earned will be distributed amongst 5 winners rather than going to me. Let's assume there's $100,000 in total sales with this code, the Jackpot pool will be $15,000 distributed equally amongst 5 randomly selected winners. There is no additional cost to you as a client but a huge possible payout with just a purchase.
For complete transparency, I will post the total affiliate income in intervals to provide an update on the pool till the offer expires.
Winners for the Jackpot will be selected on 15th June, 2026. The balance will be added to their wallet in dashboard which they can request via Rise like a usual payout. They will be requested to post on X for the sake of transparency and honest delivery of the prize. This will eliminate any chance of abuse as the winners will be KYC approved!
Another great news for my friends in Pakistan, @FS_Futures has finally lifted it's ban and are willing to run a pilot program for countries that can not go live due to exchange policy.
You are all welcome to join, thank you for raising voice and showing interest. There is a fixed number of maximum payouts one can achieve before the accounts are closed, in usual fashion client goes live but here that won't happen. For complete policy refer to the FAQs. It will only get better from here.
Now to address the elephant in the room, why do all this and what do I get out of it? Honestly, I don't get anything monetary. I may get some views and followers but that's all. I genuinely did all this and pursued the team at Fundedseat because I always want others to have a great experience if I have a great experience somewhere. As traders, we should always look out for eachother and hope for everybody to win. The owners of this firm operate with integrity and I 100% stand with them.
Go grab an account fundedseat.link/jackpot
Goodluck to everyone, God bless.
