Payout from 12/13/2025 not processed | Not reviewed. Payout Button not available for a qualifying week.
Dear Sean K and support. I have had an inquiry regarding my payout review for my two Gladiator accounts that are in good standing. I have a payout request still pending that has not been reviewed and this has already been sent to support since Noon on Friday and I have not been in touch with the appropriate support member to address this issue. It has been escalated but we are already getting on in the day and the Asian session is looming and I don't feel as though it is fair to me as one of your loyal Gladiators in the markets to have this issue not appropriately addressed as we start a new trading week.
*Update: while writing this this morning the payout request button has just become available for me in one account but not the other eligible account around 10:30 CST. *
I have the date and time on the second request so you can see it is current.
I have maintained consistency, followed my plan, trading within all the rules and all my trades in the traders dashboard are compliant and reasonable. My max MAE over the last two weeks is a mere 2% showing that I am having good consistent reliable and explainable returns. My plan is indeed to go pro and be a real funded live trader with a strategy and performance that is absolutely scalable in live markets. I am not here for fly by night, I did not show up with $200 and a dream. I am here to make this business work and partner with the very best firm which I still believe is PST.
In these graphs for my two accounts in question, you can see a smooth reliable return without any significant | repetitive jumps.
Here are some metrics and graphs from TB and from Rithmic to show that I am as consistent as I possibly can be and don't take days off unless there is something unavoidable or planned like Holiday, Doctors appointments, work or family etc. But just as I reliably show up to my day job I do show up to trade.
This is my metrics for the last two weeks showing my consistency in this payout window
And just as an aside. I work in healthcare in Physical Therapy as a therapist and director with deadlines, patients to assist with, meetings and paperwork etc. We do not get a retirement in the setting I work in with the elderly and this has been, since 2013, my plan for retirement, I take trading extremely seriously as it is the difference between me having a retirement or not having one at all.
I am grateful for the speedy responses I have been able to get prior to this issue but right now I would like some transparency please. I feel it is only fair that I know why this is happening and what is going to be done to prevent it from happening again in the future. I am still here for PST and the whole ride but this is a really important issue and needs to be addressed prior to the Asian open if possible and I would like some assistance on my payout review as I (my payout) was missed during the Friday review and I appreciate the celebration of the other traders that had positive outcomes, metrics and payouts, good on them, God Bless. At the same time I am here being loyal to your rules, being a supporter of the TB community (without any compensation or agenda) and I don't feel as though I am being properly respected as one of your Gladiators doing battle in the markets with real risk, real emotions, real daily challenges with work | life | trading.
As respectfully as I can possibly request. Can you offer some transparency as to what is going on in the backend to cause this issue, what is being done about it, and if I can still be allowed a payout this cycle as well as have a proper review for my pending payout and up coming payout.
Edit *At this time by end of day and start of Asian session Sunday evening. My payout option for one of my Gladiator accounts was never available and I did again miss being able to request for one of my accounts that was able to meet all the targets to payout eligibility.*
Thanks,
Christopher.
What prop firms can I connect to with Tickblaze in addition to prop shop trader?
Hi, new to tick blaze I use take profit and others on Ninja. Not sure what firms we can connect to on this platform. Is there a way to get more than one Rithmic attached since Prop shop is rithmic and I was using Bulenox? Thanks
⭐ Steven Is the Gold Standard of Support — The Reason Traders Trust PST ⭐
I’ve been trading with PropShopTrader for a long time, and I want to publicly recognize Steven, because support reps like him are incredibly rare in this industry. If there is one person who truly understands traders, respects their challenges, and consistently goes above and beyond to help, it’s Steven.
He has personally assisted me through countless reviews, questions, and appeal situations with a level of professionalism and patience that is unmatched. While most prop firms leave traders feeling like they’re on their own, Steven does the opposite — he makes you feel supported, heard, and respected every step of the way. He takes the time to look at every detail, responds thoughtfully, and ensures everything is handled fairly and with integrity.
What stands out most is that he treats you like a real trader, not a ticket number.
He listens… he understands the pressure we’re under… he communicates clearly… and he resolves things quickly. Every time I’ve needed help, Steven has been consistent, reliable, and genuinely invested in seeing traders succeed.
I’ve traded for decades and have dealt with support teams across multiple firms — and I can say with complete confidence that Steven is the best support representative I’ve ever worked with. He is a major reason PropShopTrader continues to grow and earn the trust of serious traders.
If you're considering PST, know this:
You will be in great hands with Steven.
He is one of the pillars of this firm, and traders deserve to know how invaluable he is.
Highly recommend — 5 stars without hesitation. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Will update post after I finish writing everything up on the props that I have tried and continue to trade with.
I decided to start documenting my trading journey
I got this message couple days ago and decided to start documenting my trading journey here starting with this Bulenox 50k eval.
I've traded prop firms for 3+ years now and have nothing to show for, besides:
dozens of evals blown (if I had to guess, it would be around 50).
several PA's blown in that "one more trade and I'm done for the day" scenario (6 PA's to be exact).
1 payout of jaw-dropping $1,000 reached with Apex and then blown that account in 1 DCA trade during next payout cycle.
deep 5 figures of real money lost in personal trading account.
So why would you follow me, since I clearly don't have a lambo, don't rent a private jet, don't have stack of dollars by my side and my name is nowhere to be found in prop firm leaderboards?
Because that's the reality of majority of traders, so you can relate.
Because you, just like myself, failed countless of times and wanted to quit.
Because I believe that there's a better way of playing this prop game.
How? I created Funded Guard to build the community that guards their funded accounts. If your account is alive, you can trade another day. If you can trade another day, you are getting closer to a payout. You are not alone!
I will post my PnL daily and my aim is to risk no more than 10% of available drawdown per day. And even if I lose 10% every day, I will be able to keep the account for 22 trading days.
Losses happen even to the best of us. I watched Patrick's video https://youtu.be/I0kI816xQl8 where good traders like Rina and Terri both showed their losing days (appreciate not hiding it) and I will deliver the same type of transparency.
So, if you could share this message, it may reach a struggling trader, who needs this type of boost in his journey.
