Hi guys , was bored and wanted to test trading a 100k Evaluation Account with a Propfirm at cheap prices...... So I jumped onto these Pay after you Pass challenges.... They are cheap , bought from

-Atlas Funded(costet $1) 😂..... Another Account from

- FTUK Flex challenge 100k (costet $9) and last Account from -Atmos Funded Nova challenge ( costet $5).

I passed both of these 3 Accounts..... Trading a $100k account felt unreal .

Now I need to Pay the activation fees on both Accounts if I want to continue.... Am actually not interested in getting Live Accounts from these firms , so I'll let it pass. I was only trading the Accounts for the love of the game .

I didn't care spending $20 on these Challenges, only wanted to test my trading capabilities of a 100k Account.

What do y'all think of these firms ? Anyone with experience???

Is it worth it ??

Should I pay it ? Anyone wants to collaborate

Seems like everyone was right about Maven .... Although I successfully got 2 payouts from Maven in the last 2 months and have been also rooting for them and promoting them here on Reddit, while still skeptical (Check my Timeline), they decided to prove me right .... I passed a 1 Step 50k Account early this week , but during review ... Which took almost 4 days review , they decided to fail my challenge apparently I was gap trading .

Entry: On April 29th, I entered right after FOMC news and Tech earnings report (market open). Exactly at 00:01, I traded the first candle for momentum, not the gap itself. Risk was controlled with a stop loss ( Attached images).

This was a fundamental momentum trade, not gap-hunting, I entered as soon as the 1st candle printed , anticipation of a bullish momentun ....

However , they took 4 days to review my account and flagged it as gap trading violations. However, no explanation was provided.

Or perhaps I'm overreacting.

Stay away from Maven if you need peace of mind , learnt the hard way !

Stay safe !!!!
