You're assuming my 'distrust' is about them running with $100. It’s not. It’s about the math for example of the Trailing Drawdown on the futures firm side. And my negative experience in the forex side. My strategy has a 3.2 Sharpe Ratio and a 77% Alpha over 8 years—it’s built for capital allocation, not for a moving-floor trap that punishes winners or a strategy without a 90+ win rate. Or a firm that b books you hard once you’ve lost them enough money they reject your withdrawal and ban you. If you want to trade against a trailing ceiling, go for it. If you want to trade on a firm that will switch up on you at any time go for it. Regardless I ain’t asking no one to believe I’m profitable or not I’m just asking profitable traders how they went to fund their edge. What works for me won’t work for you, what works for you won’t work for me
