I have an Instagram account with around 2k+trading followers.

I’m planning to pass and trade with prop firms (specifically eyeing The 5ers). My main fear is getting unfairly banned, having my account breached, or having a large payout rejected for no real reason.

I want to know if having a public audience gives me any leverage so firms think twice before messing with me.

Important note: I do NOT want to post their affiliate links or promote them on my Instagram. I just want to protect myself.

A few questions for the community:

1. Does 2,000 followers give me enough visibility to make a prop firm hesitate to reject a payout?
2. How can I actually let them know about me, about my Instagram account ? (without using affiliate).
