Before Vincere I was doing the prop…
Before Vincere I was doing the prop firm thing for about two years. Passed evaluations at three different firms, got funded at two of them, and cumulatively made decent money but dealt with all the nonsense that comes with it — trailing drawdowns, sudden rule changes, payout delays, one firm that quietly restructured their scaling plan in a way that cost me. I got tired of it. I wanted my own capital in my own account with no one else's rules hanging over me.
Moved to Vincere in December 2025. The adjustment was smaller than I thought. The NinjaTrader environment was already familiar, and the algos run on futures I was already comfortable with. Q1 2026 I finished just over 10% on my allocated capital. The bigger shift wasn't strategy — it was finally trading my own money in my own account with nobody else's rules breathing down my neck. If you're in the prop firm cycle and burned out on it, there is another way.
