Summary
This was one of the best firms I have ever used, but unfortunately it is no longer in operation.
I started using them in May 2024 and received a total of 15,770 USD in payouts. Payouts were approved within just a few minutes. At the time, they offered a plan called “MAX,” which limited both daily profit and daily loss to 2%. This plan helped me develop a much deeper understanding of the importance of risk management. I am truly grateful.
Timeline
May 30, 2024
I purchased my first challenge account.
I had been using prop firms since January 2024, but I only started taking them seriously around April 2024, so My Funded FX was one of the very first firms I used. At that time, my risk management was extremely poor — I was risking 3% to 4% per trade. Naturally, I blew through accounts very quickly. It is hard to believe now, but within a span of about 10 days, I purchased 15 accounts from Fintokei and 14 of them were disqualified almost immediately.
After that, I discovered the “MAX” plan offered by My Funded FX (later renamed Seacrest Funded) and decided to try it. This plan was incredibly helpful in teaching me the importance of risk management. Even when I felt frustrated, my account would be temporarily paused, which forced me to cool down before I could trade again. I believe this is when my trading skills and mental discipline truly began to improve.
They also sent notifications when a payout date was approaching. ATFunded offers a similar feature, and I find this kind of proactive communication very appreciated.
Their payout approval speed was remarkable — requests were approved within just a few minutes of submission. This may be hard to believe, so I am including some evidence below.
It is truly unfortunate that they have shut down. But the profits I earned through them, and more importantly the mindset toward risk that I developed, continue to shape the way I trade today.
Thank you.
