The Story

Discover how one trader turned six breached accounts into $17,000+ in payout share.

Cole is a full-time trader who had been at the markets for about two years before joining Traderscale on a recommendation in January 2026.

His first six funded accounts all breached. Nothing in particular went wrong, as he tells it. He was still following his system, he just never caught the right window. Being “‑7k at 17”, he says, was the moment that almost ended it: “too far gone to quit.”

The seventh account broke the run. Since July 2026 he has taken three payouts worth $17,488.80. They were $5,819.20, then $5,120.00, then $6,549.60, the last of them on an account that is still live today.

Every one went out as USDT on Ethereum, and all three transactions are linked below. On the payout process he is brief: “Requesting the payout and getting paid within 24 hours.” The money has gone straight back in, into live accounts and more props, to keep scaling.

Every account, in order.

The breaches are part of the story. They're what make the payouts mean something.

In his words

Six breached accounts, then three payouts in a row

  1. How long had you been trading before joining Traderscale, and how would you describe your experience level at the time?

    Two years.

  2. What were you doing for work or income before this?

    Full-time trading.

    Six.

  5. How many attempts did it take to pass each phase?

    One.

  6. If you failed any attempts, what went wrong, and what did you change afterward?

    Nothing in particular went wrong. I was still following my system, I just didn’t get good timing or a good winning period after purchasing the account.

  7. What account size did you start with, and did you scale up over time?

    $100K, and I bought a couple of $200Ks, but mainly $100K accounts.

  8. How many funded accounts are you currently trading?

    Three $100Ks.

  9. Roughly how long did each phase take you to complete?

    The funded stage, around a month to a payout being able to be requested.

  10. What does your trading strategy or approach look like?

    Sweep, fakeout, break of structure, retrace, fixed risk-to-reward. Tap and barrel.

  11. What almost made you quit, and what kept you going?

    Being ‑7k at 17. Too far gone to quit.

  12. What’s one specific moment from this journey that stuck with you, good or hard?

    Requesting the payout and getting paid within 24 hours.

  13. How long was it from signing up to your first payout?

    Four months, maybe.

  14. How much was your payout, and how did it feel to receive it?

    $5,120 USD.

  15. What did you do with it, or what does it mean for your life?

    Straight back into the game through my live accounts and more props, to scale.

  16. Was there anything about the payout process that surprised you?

    Nothing surprising. Quick payout on the chain, can’t complain.

  17. What would you say to someone who’s on the fence about trying this?

    Lock in, get a mentor, trade mechanically. Gameify prop firms, look at ROI on a longer-term perspective with props specifically. Do not quit.

  18. Looking back, what’s the one thing you wish you’d known when you started?

    Trade mechanically.
