📉 He Made $5,248 This Week

☕️ GM Munchers! Special Sunday edition because a UK trader just banked over $5,000 while markets burned to the ground, and we need to talk about it. Is my wife thrilled I'm working weekends? Absolutely not. But when prop firms turn chaos into five-figure payouts, the story tells itself.

🔥 The Week From Hell (And How One Trader Cashed In Anyway)
In case you overslept your alarm for like an entire week, here’s a quick reminder of what we’ve all been dealing with:
Bitcoin: Crashed from $84K to below $65K—down over 45% and approaching levels that trigger mass panic and my personal digestive issues.
S&P 500: Lost trillions in market cap this week as tech stocks imploded, earnings disappointed, and macro fears intensified.
Geopolitical Risk: There’s some nasty tensions rising between the US and Iran again.
Translation: This was the kind of week where most traders close their laptops, hide under their desks, and pretend markets don't exist until Monday.
But the trader we’re about to talk about, Mohammad? Yeah, he traded through the volatility and in just 15 days made $5,248.

💰 The Numbers: How to Earn a Monthly Salary in Two Weeks
Here are his stats:
Account: 1-Step $100K evaluation
Payout: $5,248 (90% reward split on ~$5,831 total gain)
Timeframe: 15 days (earned a monthly US salary in two weeks)
Win Rate: 70% (7 out of 10 trades profitable)
Instruments: USDJPY and GBPUSD (forex pairs, not crypto roulette)
The Biggest Trade: $2,803 gain on a single GBPUSD long—over half his total gain in one position. Clean entry, zero drawdown, perfect execution.
Why This Matters:
Mohammad wasn't gambling on Bitcoin's next move or YOLOing meme stocks. Leave that up to me. Instead, he was trading disciplined forex setups.
While retail panic-sold crypto at the bottom, Mohammad executed a 70% win rate strategy and walked away with five grand.
That's not luck.
That's skill + no longer trading your small personal account.


🚀 Why This Only Happens at Lark (And Why Other Firms Hate Us)

Here's what makes Mohammad's payout possible—and why other prop firms would've found a way to deny it:
✅ Almost 4 Years of Paying Traders
Unlike most prop firms, at Lark, we actually pay our traders. If we didn’t, we wouldn’t have been in business for so long. Mohammad hit his targets, managed risk, followed the rules. Money transferred. Done.
✅ No Consistency Rules
Mohammad's biggest trade was $2,803—over half his total gain in one position. Most firms would flag this as "inconsistent" and deny the payout. We don't care. Trade your strategy.
✅ No News Restrictions
Markets were chaotic this week with major news events. Most firms restrict trading during high-impact news to "protect" themselves (translation: prevent you from winning during volatility). We don't. Trade whenever you want.
✅ No Retroactive Rule Changes
We've been in business since June 1st, 2022. We keep the rules the same. What you sign up for is what you get. No surprises. No moving goalposts.
The Difference:
Other firms create hidden ways for you to fail and move the goalposts when you don’t. At Lark, we set the rules, make them sustainable from the beginning and don’t move them.
The result?
Mohammad’s $5,000+ payout.

🎯 February Promo: Buy Anything, Get $1K FREE
Liten, I know this is a break from our usual Monday-Friday morning email. Two reasons for that:
Bills exist. This newsletter is free. Lark Funding pays them. While I'd be fine with a small apartment and three roommates, my wife prefers our current setup. Fair compromise.
Prop firms unlock everything. Without them, you're stuck grinding a tiny account. Doesn't matter how good you are—$500 won't change your life. $100K in prop firm capital? Different story.
So, the February promo?
No catches. No fine print. Just a thank you for supporting us.
Why This Matters:
The Instant account lets you practice and earn Day 1 while you work on passing your larger evaluation.
Buy a $500 evaluation? Free $1K account.
Buy a $200 evaluation? Free $1K account.
Buy a $100 evaluation? Still free $1K account.
The Month of Love is here. We're feeling generous. You should feel funded.

The Bottom Line:
There you have it. While markets burn, Mohammad made over $5,000 thanks to prop firms.
The math is simple:
Your $500 account: 70% win rate = maybe $100-200 gain
Lark $100K account: Same 70% win rate = $5,000+ payout in two weeks
Same skill. 50x different outcome.
Mohammad didn't get lucky. He used a prop firm that let his trading skill actually scale.
We've got a February promo (buy any evaluation, get a free $1K account) to get you one step closer to doing the same. Not ready? Join our free trading competition on March 2nd.
