Coinbase launching stock trading is a massive headline, but for prop firm traders like me, it’s a frustrating reminder of the golden handcuffs we wear. I've passed 12 challenges and received over $180K in payouts by learning one thing: the rules of the game are more important than the game itself. And the rules say trading a volatile stock like $CO...

The housing market is telling us a recession isn't coming, it's already here, and I'm positioning my funded accounts to trade the fallout. While everyone is glued to CPI prints, the real data dropped this week: a record gap of over 600,000 more homes for sale than buyers to purchase them. This isn't just a cooling market; it's a buyer's strike. For...

The Kalshi prediction markets are flashing a potential 'blue wave,' and for a forex trader like me, that means one thing: preparing for a major shift in USD volatility. I started trading in 2020 and got into prop firms a year later. I can tell you from experience—failing my first six challenges taught me that political events aren't for making hero...

So here's what nobody's talking about. Everyone on YouTube flashes their 'Challenge Passed' certificate, but they go quiet when it's time to talk about the first payout. Why? Because that's the final boss. Passing is one thing; getting cold, hard cash in your bank account is another. I started this journey in 2021 and failed my first six challenges...

The first time I passed an FTMO challenge felt a lot like my first profitable month back in 2021. It wasn't about one massive win. It was about a string of small, disciplined trades that simply didn't blow up. Everyone asks me how to pass prop firm challenge, and they always expect a complex answer about indicators or secret entries. They're asking...

Every central bank meeting, my feed is flooded with the same thing: breathless speculation about a 25 or 50 basis point move. Traders line up on one side or the other, place their bets, and then get chopped to pieces in the volatility. They think the game is about guessing the rate decision. They're wrong. The rate decision is almost always the lea...

So here's what nobody's talking about. Everyone on YouTube is selling you the dream of passing a challenge. They're obsessed with the 'how to pass prop firm challenge' question. But they never tell you what happens the Monday morning after you get your funded account credentials. The euphoria is gone. And it's replaced by a quiet terror. I know bec...

Let me be blunt: most of the forex trading strategies you read about online are, at best, distractions. They’re focused on lagging indicators, complex chart patterns, and proprietary signals that promise the world. But I'm here to tell you that the engine of the entire $7.5 trillion-a-day forex market runs on one thing and one thing only: central b...

Let's be honest. The consensus trade right now is to be short the Euro. Every analyst on TV is singing from the same hymn sheet: the Fed is hawkish, the ECB is dovish, so sell EUR/USD. It's simple, it's clean, and it's probably wrong. When a trade becomes this crowded, I get interested in the other side. My time at the ECB taught me one thing: cent...
