Welcome to My Journey:
This year, 2024, I’ve started an exciting new chapter in my trading career. After 15 years of trading with my own money, building wealth through different businesses, and investing in private capital, I decided to try something different—a social experiment in prop firm trading.
I know that not everyone has large funds available to trade with right away. That’s where prop firms come in. They offer a great opportunity for traders to access significant capital without risking their own money. This can be a game-changer, and I wanted to see just how far I could go with the right strategy and mindset.
April / Prop Firm Trading
In April, I opened an account with Topstep, one of the top prop firms out there. My goal was to test my trading strategy, which I’ve fine-tuned over the years, and see if it could pass their strict evaluations. Could I succeed using my order flow techniques? Could I turn this opportunity into real profits?
What happened next was amazing. I quickly reached the maximum allowed by securing five funded accounts, each with $150,000, totaling $750,000 in trading capital. Over the next four months, I was able to withdraw over $500.000 dollars in profits. This wasn’t just about making money; it was about proving that with the right approach. Anyone can succeed in funded trading.
But this journey wasn’t without its challenges. Trading with someone else’s money brings its own set of pressures—strict rules to follow, the need to stay disciplined, and the emotional ups and downs. Yet, these challenges make the journey even more rewarding. Every high and low, every win and loss, teaches you something valuable.
Prop Firm Trading
I know that starting with large funds isn’t possible for everyone. That’s why prop firms can be such a great opportunity—they allow you to start trading, gain experience, and grow without risking your own money. If you approach it with the right mindset and strategy, it can lead to great success.
This isn’t just a personal challenge for me; it’s a social experiment that I’m running alongside managing a large network of private capital in my hedge fund. Which handles between $200 million and $500 million. I want to see if the principles I use in my larger investments can also work in the more restricted world of prop firm trading.
As I continue this journey, I’m not just focused on the profits. I’m motivated by the chance to learn, adapt, and share. My experiences with others who might be thinking about taking the same path. Prop firms offer a unique chance to break into the trading world, and I’m here to show that with the right tools, strategies, and mindset, you too can succeed.
