Blown Accounts, Airplane Wi‑Fi & 42k in a Month?! | Ep. 11

Mike and Alex are back in the studio after their chaotic Christmas pub recording, kicking off 2026 with fresh trader confessions, blown accounts, and a brutally honest reset on trading discipline. From almost passing an FTMO challenge by 0.1% to getting trigger-happy on gold, they break down what really went wrong, how emotions creep in, and what has to change this year.​This episode’s anonymous confessions include:​🔴Losing $8,000 on a single trade because airplane Wi‑Fi died before a stop loss was placed.🔴A dad refinancing the family home after bingeing Michael Saylor to pile into Bitcoin.🔴Going from selling drugs as a teen to making $42k in a month from trading.🔴Turning £900 into £56k in four months… then losing it all in a week.🔴A 67‑year‑old mum down $8,000 after finding “gurus” on Instagram.The guys also dive into the prop firm Wild West: third‑party tech headaches, C‑Trader vs MT5, firms changing rules after the fact, and an insider confession from someone working at a CFD prop firm whose job is to look for reasons to block payouts. They talk about why many firms are really marketing machines, why transparency matters, and how some traders quietly spend over $10k on challenges yet still come out ahead on payouts over time.​If you have ever blown an account, chased losses after a near‑miss, or wondered whether you should just stick to the S&P 500 instead of trying to out‑trade it, this one will hit close to home.​👉 Share your own confession (completely anonymous): pippedoff.com
