🤑 Your Guide To Huge Prop Firm Payouts

The largest single payout we’ve ever processed at Lark was around $20,000.

That’s life-changing money.

What would you do if today, that $20,000 hit your bank account?

Your answer is your North Star. It’s what will help you keep going.

But more practically, how can we actually achieve this?

Well, a Lark Trader recently made massive progress towards this goal that’s accessible to anyone.

Let me explain.

1/ Start Small

Enter Oleg.

Oleg has been in our Discord spreading good vibes while absolutely crushing his $25,000 Lark Funded Account.

I mean, just take a look at this photo.

Every day Oleg has been posting photos of his consistent gains and it’s fair to say, he’s crushing it.

But rather than withdrawing those gains and calling it a day, Oleg is thinking bigger.

Remember, at Lark, we're not into the small-boy mentality.

We like to go big.

And that’s where Step 2 of Oleg’s genius plan comes in.

2/ Leverage, Baby.

Trying to make 20% a month is a fool’s errand.

It’s impossible to consistently do.

*enter angry gamblers*

And that’s why the great traders understand the following:

Capital > Returns

To make big money, you need more capital. Not returns.

The question is: how much capital do you need to live off a monthly return of just 1%?

For Oleg, we have no idea. Maybe he only needs $200,000 in simulated funding. Or maybe he has Lambo dreams and needs a few millions.

Either way, though, he understands the power of leverage.

And that’s why when he requested an early payout to purchase a $200,000 Evaluation, we gladly processed it for him.

And this is where the magic lies.

We all get sucked into these beautiful posts on social media of huge payouts. But how do we actually accomplish that?

Most think they need to start off with a huge challenge account.

They don’t.

If there’s one takeaway from today’s email, it’s this:

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with starting with a small challenge account. Build up your consistency and then use those payouts to scale up.

That’s the way.

And if you’re not in our Discord, you need to be. Click HERE and go say hi to Oleg.

🚀 Android Trading Is Back!

🥴 The Latest Influencer Drama

To traders, influencer drama is the equivalent of women watching the newest season of Love Is Blind.

*I hate to admit I loved the new season, though*

We just can’t get enough.

And over the last couple of days, we’ve seen a couple of the biggest names go at it.

Well, the “going at it” only came from one end.

But it’s still pretty juicy.

1/ SamKB Calls Out WillsFX

Will is a very well-known trading influencer with almost 80,000 YouTube subscribers and consistently showing payouts with multiple firms.

And his watch collection.

But this week, SamKB, another well-known trader, called out Will.

I honestly did a double-take when I saw this. From the little content I’ve seen from Will, it all looked legit to me.

I had no idea that, apparently, he used to have a track record but then removed it after having a period of losses.

Also, I had zero idea that Will sells a course. I thought his lifestyle was 100% funded by his trading and YouTube.

$1500? Ouch.

2/ Will Takes The High Road

Regardless of what you think of the situation, I was impressed to see Will not respond at all.

Normally, a callout like this creates a days long back-and-forth on social media.

While that’s good for popcorn sales, long-term, it only contributes to the bad reputation that the industry already has.

This brings us to an important discussion.

3/ Are All Courses A Scam?

Let’s cut to the chase.

Here’s the Official Lark Opinion on courses:

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with courses. There’s nothing wrong with selling or purchasing a course. The problem is flase expectations.

Read that last line again. It’s important.

If an influencer says “they’re the best trader in the world” or they guarantee you’ll make “10% a month”, that’s a huge problem.

It’s also a problem when a trader markets their flashy lifestyle and acts like it’s from their trading when it might not be. If it’s actually from selling courses, then that’s misleading.

When I launched my YouTube channel in 2021, I always said I’m a 4/10 trader helping traders that are between a 1/10 and 3/10.

It’s setting expectations like that that I think are so important.

✅ How To Actually Set Trading Goals

My favourite podcast is My First Million.

It’s a business podcast, and I literally don’t miss a single episode.

And this week there was an episode that applied directly to trading.

How to ACTUALLY set proper goals.

Here’s the thing about goals:

• We either set incredibly lofty goals that rarely get hit and then we feel like a failure.

• Or we set non-ambitious goals or none at all, which also makes us feel stagnant.

But as Shaan points out in the podcast, there’s a better way to set goals, and the key to achieving them is FOCUS.

Here’s a little secret about me: I have a real estate addiction.

No, I don’t own 10 properties.

Heck, I don’t even own a single apartment. I rent!

But about ten times a day, I hope on to the MLS to scroll through new listings and procrastinate for hours.

It’s terrible.

It’s terrible because it prevents me from ever getting into a flow state and doing actual, needle-moving work.

Considering the average daily screen time in the US is 7 hours (🤢), I’m not alone.

So, to jumpstart your weekend, check out the podcast. It’s given me some food for thought on how to fix my scrolling addiction and how actually to set real goals.
