Hello, fellow trader!

It’s a late letter today, my friends.

I know many of you are reading from Europe, Australia, and different parts of the world, so I apologize for the later-than-usual update.

As some of you saw on X and in my audio with Wolf, I was tied up with some pretty intense trading today.

If you haven’t already, make sure to take the Impulse Check from yesterday’s letter. It’s designed to give you a quick read on your mindset before you put any risk on, and I’ll personally reply based on your score.

The check-in expires later today, and a fresh one will be available in next week’s letter. Don’t be a fly on the wall! 🥶

There have also been a few important prop-firm updates over the last 24 hours, so let’s get into what actually matters before you trade. 🔻

The 25% consistency rule is now lifetime on Accelerate.

Previously, the consistency calculation reset after each approved payout. That reset language has now been removed.

TDI check: Don’t force a “hero day.” If you want a consistency reset after payouts, Standard S2F works differently.

FTMO is highlighting its current Growth and Pro futures offering, with EOD trailing drawdown and different payout structures.

TDI check: Size around the drawdown mechanics - not the headline account size.

Alpha’s Creator Program help page has disappeared, while the APP50 promotion remains listed at 50% off.

TradeDay clarified its multi-account/copy rules.

Copying is allowed between 2–3 Funded Sim accounts, but you cannot have simultaneous open positions across Funded Live and Eval/Funded Sim accounts.

Partner offers I currently have available for TDI readers.

Four updates, but the bigger theme is simple enough to know the policy before you put the account at risk.

A small wording change in a help center can matter a lot more than another prop-firm promotion.

I always zoom out to gain better perspective - the same you would in your chart analysis, it all applies my friends.

Clint Brauer returned to his family farm after his father developed Parkinson’s. What began as a personal mission became Greenfield Robotics: robots designed to replace herbicides with mechanical weed control.

Investors in this round can qualify for up to a 20% bonus.
