From my trading journey

Records from the journey.

Original certificates, payout notifications and archived milestones. Each record keeps its date, source and context.

These are selected historical records, not a complete performance history. Evaluation certificates, reward certificates, payout notifications and account results are separate types of records and are not added together.

FTMO.

The cumulative certificate and individual reward documents are separate views of the records, not amounts to add together.

Evaluation certificates9 documents · 2024–2026

Dated evaluation milestones, separate from reward and payout records.

Learning certificatesFTMO Academy · 2024

A course-completion certificate; it is not an account result or professional licence.

Funding Pips.

The cumulative certificate and individual reward documents are separate views of the records, not amounts to add together.

Evaluation certificates17 documents · 2023–2024

Dated evaluation milestones, separate from reward and payout records.

Topstep.

An evaluation milestone, separate from the reward and payout records.

Five Trading Combine Passed certificates are listed in Oz's Topstep dashboard, all dated 5 November 2025. Topstep issues the same certificate design for each account, so the image is shown once with all five original PDFs linked. The certificates contain no payout amount.

About these records

The three individual FTMO certificates total $26,712.23; the Overall Rewards certificate prints $26,712.22. The one-cent difference is retained as shown in the original documents. The cumulative certificate is not an additional reward.

Funding Pips’ three individual Performance Reward certificates total $13,155.20, the same amount printed on its 28 December 2024 All Time Rewards certificate. The cumulative certificate is not added again. The two Phase One documents dated 17 October 2023 have different QR images; no count of distinct accounts is inferred.

Original images have been reviewed; issuer verification links and bank receipts have not been independently checked. The Topstep total covers only the three displayed notifications. No lifetime payout total is inferred.

Historical records: an FTMO screenshot supplied by Oz and a still captured from Topstep’s official broadcast. FTMO and Express Funded Account results reflect trading with virtual funds within provider programs. These account results are distinct from reward certificates and payout notifications. Selected records do not establish a complete performance history. Past results do not guarantee future performance. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.
