The funded-account contest is live and nobody has a qualifying referral yet. First place is still wide open.

How to play:

1. Open Refer Friends in the academy

2. Copy your personal link

3. Send it to someone who's been asking how you trade

Every new member who joins through your link through September 30 counts. Old referrals do not.

Prizes:

🥇 1st — Funded account + 60-min 1-on-1 with me

🥈 2nd — $50K funded account + 30-min 1-on-1

🥉 3rd — $25K funded account + 30-min 1-on-1

You still earn the 30% commission on top of this. The contest is extra, not instead of.

21 days left. If you've been waiting for a reason to share — this is it. Go get your link.

Awesome question from a student in class tonight about what makes an OB "valid." Wanted to share some of the sauce with anyone who wasn't able to attend tonight's teaching. -Mark

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone had a great day. I wanted to share this visual to supplement your studies and our class discussions. -Mark

🏆 REFERRAL CONTEST — WIN A FUNDED ACCOUNT

Starting today through September 30, 2026, we're running a referral contest for the whole community.

How it works: Grab your personal referral link from Refer Friends in your whop. Every new member who joins through your link between now and Sept 30 counts toward your total. Whoever brings in the most new referrals wins.

Prizes:

🥇 1st place — Funded account + 60-min 1-on-1 with Mark

🥈 2nd place — $50K funded account + 30-min 1-on-1 with Mark

🥉 3rd place — $25K funded account + 30-min 1-on-1 with Mark

(Prop firm for the funded accounts will be announced closer to the end of the contest.)

Rules:

• Only new referrals from Aug 27 – Sept 30, 2026 count — existing referrals before today don't carry over.

• Your affiliate commission (30%, one-time) still applies on top of the contest — this is stacked, not instead of.

• Winners are verified against Whop's own referral tracking, so there's no way to game it.

‼️ Wanted to share this with you, fam — here’s an example of what a custom trading plan can look like when you schedule a 1:1 session with me.

During our session, we’ll break down every part of your trading — your strategy, execution, risk management, psychology, habits, and decision-making — to identify the specific areas holding you back.

From there, we’ll build a personalized plan designed to strengthen your foundation, sharpen your accuracy, increase your confidence, and help you become a more disciplined and consistent trader.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. We’re focusing on your trading, your weaknesses, and what you specifically need to improve.

If you’ve been thinking about booking a 1:1, I’d genuinely love the opportunity to work with you and help you take a deeper look at your trading.
