The multi-firm sequencing plan: start on $50K evaluations, pass one, and
let each payout fund the next account — never fresh capital after the first. One tested
edge, executed once, copied everywhere.
The architecture: one master, copy everywhere
Prove your edge on one master account first. Once it survives live, a trade
copier (e.g. PickMyTrade) mirrors every fill to accounts at other firms — one decision,
many payouts. Payouts recycle into more accounts.
THE CATCH A copier multiplies mistakes at the same speed as
profits, and every firm's drawdown rules differ (EOD-trailing vs intraday, daily-loss
policies). Run each firm's ruleset through the EV
calculator before its account goes live.
0 Start with zero (or near-zero) capital
Free-account giveaways exist in trading communities; if buying, never pay list price —
discount codes are everywhere. Stick to $50K evaluation accounts: the drawdown-to-
target ratios are the friendliest in the space and the whole playbook is built around them.
1 First firm: Tradeify Growth
Straightforward rules, flexible structure, and a $500 minimum withdrawal —
the fastest route to a first real payout.
ADVANCE WHEN Eval passed and first $500 payout secured.
2 Recycle into Lucid Trading
The first payout funds a Lucid Flex or Pro account. Goal: minimum payouts
from both firms simultaneously — the start of compounding.
ADVANCE WHEN Concurrent payouts from both; profits recycled
into more accounts — target 4–5 funded accounts running at once.
3 Add My Funded Futures Pro
Once several accounts pay consistently, MFF Pro's $100K SIM cap allows the
"home run" holds the smaller accounts can't carry.
ADVANCE WHEN $400–500/day consistent across max-allocated
accounts.
4 Veteran layer: Take Profit Trader
Excellent daily payout structure once you've built a buffer — the last piece
of the four-firm stack.
Risk rules (non-negotiable)
Risk per trade = max drawdown ÷ 10. On a $50K account with a $2,000
drawdown, that's $200 per trade — ten straight losers must not kill an account.
NASDAQ translation: 2–5 micro contracts with a 20–50 point stop.
One payout at a time: hit the minimum, withdraw it, fund the next account.
Compound accounts, not position size — sizing up raises bust risk as fast as reward.
