The Big Story
Last month, we told you August was the biggest payout month in Breakout history at $7.1M. September took that personally and crushed the record by a ludicrous 29%.
- Traders got paid a combined $9.27M, the largest month ever (again) by over $2 million.
- 240+ traders took home $10,000 or more: it wasn’t just a handful of traders having the best month of their lives.
- We issued another payout effectively every five minutes around the clock.
You know it’s an insane month when our biggest single payout ever doesn’t even make the headline: $190.4K in one go. Where else can that happen but Breakout?
(We’ll spare you a Google search: the answer is ‘nowhere.’)
Let’s zoom in on some of the other mind-melting stats this month.
The Tape
- $9.27M+ went out to traders in September, ripping this years’ total past $38 million.
- We funded 10,000+ new accounts, nearly 1,500 of which went to traders getting funded for the first time.
- Over 1,029 traders made $1,000 or more, with 240+ snagging $10K.
- 500+ traders made between $100 and $500, a nice supplement to their incomes, or enough to cover a bill or two. It’s not all about the massive paydays, after all!
- Traders moved quickly and passed quickly; the median pass time of an eval shrunk to just 0.5 days.
Of course, we’d be remiss not to mention one trader who turned into a frequency monster, taking 115 payouts in a single month. Prop firms fear this person.
Except Breakout. We put ‘em in our recap.
The Map
September saw our traders in India finally crack the top 5 countries by payouts:
- U.S.A
- Türkiye
- United Kingdom
- India (new)
- Germany
While the U.S. still held the top spot, their margin was slimmer than usual. The rest of the world is surging; the map is growing.
With over 160 countries supported on Breakout, the opportunity is as global as it gets. Just show up and trade well.
The Board
On the profit leaderboard, Breakout’s top traders absolutely cooked:
- PRISM: $211,587
- G4 Trades: $159,093
- DraftTrader: $113,039
Scope the live leaderboard for yourself.
- 7 traders cleared over $100K in profit, an impressive lineup of six-figure earners
- 4 of the top 10 traders cracked the leaderboard for the first time, rocketing to the top in their debuts
- $190.4K became the new highest payout ever, surpassing last month’s $186K to claim the record.
Another month, another leaderboard, another chance to seize the top spot. Will it be you?
The Spotlight
Eric is a former Wall Street market maker who helped train traders to win both their trades, and the mental game that comes with trading.
He’s also taken over 60 payouts in just 6 weeks on Breakout, trading part-time as a hobby.
He literally learned crypto so he could come trade on Breakout after looking for a firm that wouldn’t get in the way, and would let him trade the way he wanted to.
In this one-on-one interview with Trader Mayne, Eric shares invaluable insight into how the game is played and won, how new traders should shift their approach, and why pros are ‘trading people,’ not trading price.
