What would you do with $100,000? It’s a pretty amazing question. There are a lot of fun answers—I wouldn’t mind a new Ford F150—but the real answer is straightforward. I’d invest it. And that was just the opportunity I got when I signed up for Try2BFunded. Try2BFunded is a funded, at-home prop trading service that lets you use $100,000 of the company’s money to build an investing portfolio. Using their impressive and easy interface, I was able to research and track stocks in order to build the portfolio that was right for me. The part I liked most? I got to keep 60% of the profits. When I compared Try2BFunded to other prop traders, I found it to be the easy winner. The reasons were simple. One I tried was unnecessarily convoluted. Another had a terrible user interface. And two others offered bad splits—25% or even 15% of the profits. That meant for my hard work, I was seeing a minimal amount of money. I’m not into free labor. Once I’d signed up for Try2BFunded, I realized I had a lot to learn. It’s not that trading is too complicated to understand, it’s that I didn’t have much of a financial background. I’d taken Econ in high school, but that was the last time I thought seriously about what the stock market had to offer. Ok, when I said I liked the profit split the most earlier, that was a lie. The part I really liked most? Try2BFunded taught me how to trade. And as I was learning, I didn’t have to use any of my own capital. That meant I was able to make mistakes. And, like learning any new skill, making mistakes was all but synonymous with learning. However, I was able to cut down the time dedicated to making mistakes by making multiple accounts. Multiple accounts meant multiple strategies to try to make it past the qualifying round. At first, I’ll admit that I found the qualifying round frustrating. I wanted to get on with it already, to access the $100,000 and get to trading. I wanted to earn my fortune. But, after a few days with Try2BFunded, I realized the qualifying round was a blessing. It was built to keep me protected. By making sure I wasn’t exceeding certain loss rates, the qualifying round let me make those mistakes without spiraling completely. It took me about 6 weeks to get past the qualifying round. That might sound like a lot, but that also means it took me about 6 weeks to really learn how to trade. That education was worth as much as the $100,000 to me. Once I’d made it past the qualifying round, I was able to access the full $100,000 for a small monthly fee. If you’re a smart trader, the service pays for itself quickly. So not only did I get $100,000 to trade with, I got a crash course in finances. Not bad.
