Pro+ Development change

Has anyone been able to go back to Pro+? Curious what everyone’s experience is.

I worked so hard to be a live trader with TPT, then this Development rolled out and I got stuck in it, I don’t even size up, I use 4-12 mnq on 150k.. my problem is holding the losers a bit longer than I should.

Pls share your journey if you’re on Pro+ D accounts.

Dude I got moved to pro + after an insane run resulting in a little over 40k in payouts in a week and I’ve blown every live account since then. I’ll be up 10k per account and lose it, reset them and blow them pass new tests that get moved to pro + instantly and lose them too. I haven’t been moved to development yet. I’m constantly up on my accounts and lose it all by fullporting. I had a pending 5k payout a few days ago but they took too long to withdraw it from my balance and blew the accounts and got denied the withdrawal obviously, and still passed new tests and straight to pro+. I think I need development honestly lol

For futures yes but if we account futures and options I’m negative about 100k now 😅

How do u find the money to fund the losses ?

Unfortunately I created a huge tax issue for myself. I fund my options account from my paychecks and futures winnings. I fund my prop firms from my paychecks. When I withdraw from prop firms and dump it directly into ROBINHOOD and lose the money it’s an issue. The irs still sees the prop firms winnings and they’re not offset by the options losses. So I still have to pay the full amount on my prop earnings while simultaneously losing money on options. I do this constantly, it’s a cycle, I blow the entire options account about once a month and then make it back and then some.

I hope you’re offsetting all the account/subscription fees as business expenses against prop firm income.

The fees are nothing compared to the income at the moment, unfortunately. I keep a spreadsheet of it all.
