Shadowing Practice: Hola Prime Payouts were Audited by Deloitte... - Learn English Speaking with Video

1
One of the most common questions that prop firm traders have is which firm is the most transparent?
2
Which one should I consider trading with?
3
Well, in today's video, we're going to be taking a look at a Deloitte audit that was done on Ola Prime,
4
who is also today's video sponsor, Full Transparency.
5
But I think that what they're doing here is pretty cool.
6
They've essentially had a third party,
7
in this case Deloitte, which is,
8
of course, a big four firm.
9
I mean, this is a huge company
10
that did a essentially a review of all of their activity for a couple of months.
11
So check this out.
12
The big four firm reviewed five months of withdrawals and found 98 percent processed within an hour and zero denied.
13
So Ola Prime brings in Deloitte.
14
So they are purposefully doing this.
15
They're also, like I said,
16
they're paying me to do this featured video where I showcase what they're trying to do here,
17
which seems to be offer a next level transparency.
18
I think this is really big because,
19
again, they're bringing in a third party to audit payouts as the trust gap widens across the prop firm space.
20
People are always wondering which firms are more or less trustworthy.
21
Most prop traders still verify payouts through self-reported dashboards or on-chain crypto transfers,
22
neither of which give traders a reliable picture.
23
So by having a huge,
24
reputable company like Deloitte to come in here.
25
It is an independent review of its payout processing.
26
And in this case, it's referring to Ola Primes,
27
between October 15th, 2025 and March of 15th, 2026.
28
The audit found that the prop trading firm cleared 98.35% of withdrawal requests within its one hour target
29
and rejected zero or none,
30
according to documents exclusively seen by financemagnates.com.
31
I do also want to mention
32
that we are going to be leaving the link to this full article for you to take your time
33
and read through if you would like in the description down below of this video.
34
And you always see these big numbers being thrown around,
35
like how much prop firms have paid out.
36
But I think having this audit is pretty cool.
37
The Hong Kong registered firm,
38
which runs its brokerage under a...
39
The Hong Kong registered firm says it has distributed about 3.2 million to funded traders to date,
40
with roughly 2 million of that processed in the first quarter of 2026 alone.
41
And the CEO told financemagnates.com
42
that the firm's approach is built around stripping ambiguity out of the process well before a withdrawal is requested.
43
So here's what the Deloitte review actually covered.
44
Deloitte looked at all payout transactions during the five-month window.
45
The review found that 98.35% of payouts were processed within one hour,
46
1.65% exceeded that timeline, and zero payouts were denied across the period.
47
Of the cases that ran past an hour,
48
they were tied to additional validation checks,
49
customer side delays, such as incomplete information and operational exceptions,
50
according to the report.
51
And I've never seen a third party review like this in what I've covered on prop firms in the last few years.
52
Most prop firms do not commission reviews of this kind.
53
When they do disclose payout figures,
54
the data generally comes from internal systems or from on-chain observers with their own blind spots,
55
which leaves traders and competitors relying on statements that are hard to audit.
56
And again, another quote from the CEO,
57
quote, our goal is to eliminate surprises.
58
And quote, by the time a trader reaches a payout request,
59
their trading activity has already been aligned with our rules.
60
Pretty cool.
61
And I think for a lot of traders,
62
one of the highlights of Ola Prime is their speedy payouts, right?
63
That one hour or less for most payouts,
64
again, audited by Deloitte, is pretty powerful.
65
And this is another cool quote,
66
quote, that's why we operate with a zero payout denial policy.
67
If a trader reaches the payout stage,
68
they can expect to be paid.
69
The firm separates hard rule breaches,
70
such as exceeding daily or max loss limits,
71
from behavioral patterns flagged through real-time monitoring,
72
with traders notified and guided before reaching a withdrawal request.
73
On this article, there's also some numbers by the book section,
74
which is pretty interesting.
75
The Deloitte-reviewed figures sit alongside operational data the firm has been publishing for months.
76
Ola Prime says its average profit split payout clears in 33 minutes and 48 seconds,
77
with the fastest on record at 3 minutes and 37 seconds,
78
and an average payout size of roughly $4,500.
79
It is worth noting, however,
80
that the figures refer only to traders who have completed the evaluation challenge
81
and been pre-approved for a payout rather than the firm's entire trader base.
82
Ola Prime told finance magnates
83
that compliance checks are conducted on a rolling basis to ensure all activity aligns with the rules
84
and that payouts are processed on fixed dates enabling rapid execution.
85
So personally,
86
I think this is pretty impressive taking this next step to
87
employ kind of a third party service for this in the trading land, right?
88
There's only so much that,
89
you know, someone like myself,
90
I'm just a YouTuber watching all these different firms.
91
Like I can do all the,
92
you know, look into this stuff,
93
but having this sort of a big four firm come in and review it from a third party is pretty cool.
94
Now, as always with Ola Prime and any prop firm that I talk about on my channel,
95
I encourage the viewer to do in-depth
96
research on any firm that you are considering trading with and
97
that you should do your due diligence before making any decision to check out a firm,
98
whether it be Ola Prime or another one.
99
That being said, if you decide that using Ola Prime is right for you,
100
your trading style, and you've done your due diligence on it,
101
then consider using the promo code that I have linked in the description down below.
102
It will get you a nice extra discount that you can find out more about in the description.
103
Thank you again to Ola Prime for this sponsored video.
104
And of course, Shout out to them for being,
105
I think,
106
one of the first to do something of this caliber in regards to trying to take transparency to the next level.
107
Thank you for watching.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
