Four firms, no payout
Gareth did not start here. He spent a year on other firms and never saw a payout. He says the rules only became clear when the money was already gone.
He was not looking for a secret strategy. He wanted a payout that actually arrived.
The colleague at work
A friend at work showed him an A-Book Funded dashboard and a payout history, then explained the model.
100% A-book: the firm is not on the other side of the position, and the rules are not built to make the trader fail.
That is when he bought the Builder 100K.
What the 100K changed
- Static drawdown. He could hold through pullbacks without a trailing line climbing up behind him.
- The exact minimum profit still needed, on the dashboard, at all times.
- A consistency score updating live, instead of a rule he discovers at payout.
- The payout itself, in under 48 hours once he hit the numbers.
First payout, then a second account
13 September 2026: $5,187. The first payout he has ever had from trading.
Fees refunded with the next one. He is putting the money into a second account and building from there. That figure is self-reported, on this firm only, and it is not a forecast.
