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 crypto world is buzzing about Hong Kong's RedotPay eyeing a US IPO to raise over $1 billion. The first question I see in trading chats is, "How do we play this?" Wrong question. Completely. After failing over 20 prop firm challenges in my career, I can tell you the right question is, "How do I prevent this headline from making me do something s...

Everyone's losing their minds over NEAR launching a super-app. That's great. But from where I'm sitting, watching my P&L on three different funded accounts, the only 'super-app' I care about is my risk calculator. I've seen more accounts blown up by chasing news than I've seen saved by a game-changing announcement. The announcement of NEAR launchin...

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...

The crypto world is losing its mind this morning over Trump's World Liberty Financial (WLFI) claiming a 'coordinated attack' on their USD1 stablecoin. Hacked accounts, FUD, big shorts. Sounds dramatic. Everyone's screaming about the next Terra/Luna. But me? I see it as a free masterclass in prop firm risk management. This isn't a crisis for the mar...

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...

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...
