James Sixsmith, CEO of Take Profit Trader, returns to The Day Trading Show for a deep-dive on prop firm infrastructure, risk management, and what actually predicts a trader's success. He explains the difference between front-end platforms (NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Wealth Charts) and back-end order/risk management systems (CQG, Rithmic, Teton, CTS), and why building a fully in-house risk system has taken TPT two years and counting. Sponsor: Prop Firm Match Compare over 40 prop firms — rules, drawdowns, payouts, scalability.Code MATCH to save on any firm!Click here — ⁠https://www.propfirmmatch.com/?a_aid=asfxHe goes deep on CME Rule 575 (disruptive/spoofing practices) and why TPT enforces live-market rules in simulation too — because strategies that work in sim get carried into live, and TPT is on the hook with the CME regardless of account size. He teases the upcoming TPT Score (a multi-factor, AI-driven scorecard using 120+ data vectors from 6.6 billion filled sides) and confirms it's being held back until edge cases are reliable enough to avoid ranking mismatches. The conversation closes with his read on what separates winning traders — smaller size, longer hold times, fewer trades — and how prop trading fits into the broader boom in prediction markets, AI-assisted trading, and retail speculation.🔄 Sponsor: TradeSyncer — 30% off w/ code ASFX🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/ts 🎥 Trade Live With Me — Free 30-day trial🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/first 🧠 Sponsor: TradeZella — 20% off w/ code ASFX🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/tz 00:01:23 – Stanley Cup talk (Caps, Canes, Panthers, Rod Brind'Amour)00:10:10 – Pro+ program updates and platform landscape (Wealth Charts, Apex)00:13:00 – Front-end vs. back-end: CQG, Rithmic, Teton, CTS explained00:16:40 – Why building an in-house risk/platform system takes years00:23:20 – Strategies TPT won't fund; simulation exploitation00:24:40 – CME Rule 575, spoofing, and Aventus surveillance system00:33:00 – How TPT protects downside on live accounts using trade data00:38:05 – TPT Score explained: 120+ AI vectors, why it's not live yet00:52:00 – What makes an ideal trader: trade smaller and less often00:56:00 – Copy trading, leverage, and why "9010 rule" traders complain

Zach also explains why he shut down his free YouTube streams to launch a high-touch, four-month one-on-one coaching program (unlimited text/call access, weekly check-ins), and the two wrap with talk on futures trading competitions, in-person community at events, and the ASFX Bootcamp returning May 13–14 in Tampa.Connect With Zach  @RealDealFutures  Work with me + discounts on my favorite firms → https://www.asfx.biz/links

There’s no shortcut around that.From there, we break down:- Why the real goal isn’t “more payouts”… it’s spending less on prop firms- Funded vs. eval accounts — what new traders should actually be doing- Why chasing one payout and resetting accounts kills long-term ROI- The power of getting two payouts from the same accounts (10x ROI mindset shift)- Futures vs. CFDs (NQ vs. NAS100) and why contract structure matters- The psychological shift that comes with daily payouts — and why it can make you want to trade your own capitalZach also talks about:- His recent trading rut- December & January payout runs- The difference between streaming to thousands online vs. speaking live at Bootcamp- Blending ICT concepts with volume profile and developing your own identity as a traderThis episode is a mix of mindset, structure, risk management, and the evolution from prop firm payouts to thinking like a capital allocator.🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/futures101 ⁠🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/First⁠🏆 Prop Firms – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠🔗 Take Profit Trader → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tpt⁠🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/TZ ⁠🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/bookmap ⁠💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance💰 Use code ASFX for a discount🔗 ⁠https://www.edge.shop/ASFX⁠

In this episode, I sit down with Dan Cooke to unpack one of the most honest conversations we’ve had about what trading really is — and what it isn’t.Sponsor: 📊 Prop Firm Match🧠 Objectively compare prop firms by rules, drawdown, payouts, and scalability💰 Use code MATCH to save with any firm listed🔗 ⁠https://www.propfirmmatch.com/?a_aid=asfx ⁠ Dan drops a line early that sets the tone: “Trading is an excellent money accelerator… but a terrible money generator.”We dive into:- Why trading should not be viewed as a guaranteed 9-to-5 paycheck- The dangerous mindset of “I hate my boss, I’ll learn to trade in 3 months”- Why full-time trading doesn’t have to be the goal- Using trading as supplemental income instead of a pressure cooker- How chasing consistency the wrong way destroys expectationsDan shares his wild origin story — discovering trading while locked down in Shanghai during the 2022 COVID restrictions. What started as boredom and excess savings turned into a deep dive through YouTube University, indicator strategies, and eventually the painful realization that “easy systems” don’t work. One of the biggest shifts for him? Watching real traders execute live. Seeing the trades happen in the moment — not hindsight screenshots — brought strategy to life and gave him the conviction to finally start. We also talk about:- Fear of losing money causing “perpetual learning mode”- The moment his wife told him to stop studying and start trading- Why most traders delay execution because they’re avoiding discomfort- The importance of realistic expectations around payoutsThis episode is about maturity. It’s about understanding that trading can amplify capital — but it’s not a salary replacement machine. It’s about building skill while keeping pressure manageable. And it’s about recognizing that the path to consistency requires execution, not endless preparation.🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/futures101 ⁠🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/First⁠🏆 Prop Firms – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠🔗 Take Profit Trader → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tpt⁠🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/TZ ⁠🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/bookmap ⁠💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance💰 Use code ASFX for a discount🔗 ⁠https://www.edge.shop/ASFX⁠

Austin Silver sits down with Chris Drysdale for a tactical VWAP Wave breakdown built on auction market theory: markets are either in balance (rotation/value) or price discovery (trend), and the edge comes from matching the setup to the condition across timeframes. Chris explains how he uses VWAP (Globex/weekly/monthly), deviation bands, volume profile/value areas, and POC to find high-probability zones, then executes with defined max risk and targets the next logical level.Sponsor: 📊 Prop Firm Match🧠 Objectively compare prop firms by rules, drawdown, payouts, and scalability💰 Use code MATCH to save with any firm listed🔗 ⁠https://www.propfirmmatch.com/?a_aid=asfx ⁠They also hit the real reason traders don’t get paid: overtrading. The payout guys keep it simple—one or two instruments, one or two favorite setups, hit them in an hour or two, then stop. Chris shares practical discipline “hacks,” plus the biggest mistake he sees: calling breakouts too early—wait for acceptance before labeling price discovery.Connect with Chris - https://traderdrysdale.com/ 🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/futures101 ⁠🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/First⁠🏆 Prop Firms – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠🔗 Take Profit Trader → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tpt⁠🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/TZ ⁠🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/bookmap ⁠💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance💰 Use code ASFX for a discount🔗 ⁠https://www.edge.shop/ASFX⁠

On The Day Trading Show, Austin Silver breaks down what actually drives sustainable success heading into 2026: capital protection, consistent execution, and building a professional trading mindset. The conversation centers on how disciplined VWAP-based trading, proper risk management, and repeatable routines create long-term consistency — especially for traders operating inside modern prop firm environments.Sponsor: 📊 Prop Firm Match 🧠 Objectively compare prop firms by rules, drawdown, payouts, and scalability💰 Use code MATCH to save with any firm listed🔗 ⁠https://www.propfirmmatch.com/?a_aid=asfx⁠  Randy’s evolution highlights the process in action. One year ago he had zero payouts. Today, he’s stacking consistent prop firm payouts by tightening his daily habits, eliminating emotional decision-making, and surrounding himself with high-accountability traders. The edge wasn’t a new indicator or flashy strategy — it was structure, confidence, and execution discipline compounding over time.The discussion also explores how today’s prop firms are reshaping trader behavior. With fewer artificial constraints, faster payout cycles, and scalable account structures, traders can focus on process instead of chasing profit targets. VWAP itself is simple; mastery comes from patience, sizing, decision quality, and emotional control.🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/futures101 ⁠🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/First⁠🏆 Prop Firms – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠🔗 Take Profit Trader → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tpt⁠🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/TZ ⁠🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/bookmap ⁠💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance💰 Use code ASFX for a discount🔗 ⁠https://www.edge.shop/ASFX⁠

In this video, Austin Silver sits down with Brian Shannon for Part Four of their VWAP series ahead of Brian’s keynote at the Futures Bootcamp in May. We dive deep into a powerful trading strategy focused on reacting to market movement rather than forecasting — a core principle of using the VWAP indicator effectively in day trading strategies.Brian explains why he’s not interested in “buying the touch,” but instead prefers to “buy the bounce,” waiting for confirmation that a VWAP level is holding. They break down time frame trading across the 2-minute, 15-minute, and daily charts, showing how the same approach applies to beginners and experienced traders alike. What separates consistent traders is risk management, execution, and operating without needing certainty.The episode includes live trade examples, including Brian’s Qualcomm trade management and Austin’s ES execution, plus common trap setups around VWAP and a critical mistake traders make when anchoring VWAP on the wrong instrument.

Ace (“Ace of Trades”) joins Austin to break down one of the most extreme prop firm success stories in futures trading. He walks through scaling from a $2,000 account to six and seven figures, including a stretch where he generated over $300,000 in prop firm payouts in a single month by running multiple funded accounts in parallel. Ace details his performance across major firms like Topstep and Top One Futures, discussing leaderboard runs, max payouts, clean months, and how copy trading allowed him to turn consistency into six-figure months rather than one-off wins.Sponsor: Breakout PropLink: https://www.breakoutprop.com/ Code: ASFX Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠Code: ASFX for 50% offSponsor: TradezellaLink: ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠Code ASFX for 20% offThe core lesson is clear and highly relevant for YouTube traders searching prop firm strategies: risk management beats strategy. Ace explains his “overs” framework—overleveraging, overtrading, overanalysis, overconfidence—and why avoiding them is what led to repeated payouts, not indicators. He breaks down why straight-to-funded accounts, end-of-day drawdown rules, and scaling through copy trading are the most realistic path for traders who already have proof of concept.

Most futures traders don’t fail because they lack a strategy—they fail because they’re trading alone, overtrading, and blowing prop firm accounts with zero discipline. In this episode, Randy breaks down his path from struggling futures trader to consistent prop firm payouts, why your first payout doesn’t mean you’re profitable, and why dry spells between payouts are normal in the prop firm game.We talk real futures trading—VWAP, discipline, boredom, ego, and why the goal isn’t trading all day, but extracting money from prop firms without self-sabotage. We cover budgeting for prop firm challenges, trading from abundance instead of scarcity, and why most traders never make it past this phase. If you’re trading futures, chasing payouts, or trying to pass prop firm evaluations without structure, this episode will reset how you think about trading.This is about losing less, staying funded, and building real time and financial freedom through futures trading—not screenshots.Sponsor: Breakout PropLink: https://www.breakoutprop.com/ Code: ASFX Sponsor: TradezellaLink: ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠Code ASFX for 20% off🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX 🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/futures101 🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/First 🏆 Prop Firms – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → https://www.asfx.biz/tof🔗 Take Profit Trader → https://www.asfx.biz/tpt🔗 BreakoutProp → https://www.asfx.biz/BOP🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/TZ 🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/bookmap 💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance💰 Use code ASFX for a discount🔗 https://www.edge.shop/ASFX

In this episode, Austin interviews Aaron, a seven-year trading veteran known for his consistency, liquidity-based strategy, and long-standing relationship with Topstep. Aaron shares how he went from blowing his first account following hype signals to developing a disciplined, reactive trading approach focused on simple liquidity levels and quality over quantity. He emphasizes that consistency is not about winning every day—it’s about being a good loser, eliminating low-quality trades, aiming for repeatable $100–$200 days before scaling, and avoiding the emotional spiral that wipes out weeks of progress.💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance💰 Use code ASFX for a discount🔗 https://www.edge.shop/ASFXConnect with Aaron: https://www.instagram.com/aaron.trades/?hl=enAaron also discusses the launch of Edge Supplements, a new performance-focused nutrition line built specifically for traders to improve focus, energy, and recovery.

In this episode, Austin and KV break down the chaos surrounding ProjectX pulling out of nearly every futures prop firm, leaving Tradeovate/NinjaTrader — now under Kraken — as the dominant platform. They discuss how this shift impacts traders, why platforms struggle to match ProjectX’s simplicity, and what the future of prop trading may look like in a more monopolized ecosystem. The conversation also touches on crypto prop firms, payout economics, and whether a new ProjectX–style platform could realistically be built.Sponsor: Breakout PropLink: https://www.asfx.biz/BOPCode: ASFX Sponsor: BlackShirtClub Group CoachingLink: https://www.asfx.biz/bscThey then shift into trading psychology and why most traders quit long before they ever give themselves a real chance. KV shares data showing that 73% of traders in his free community took zero action, prompting a discussion about why people don’t value free resources, the importance of embracing boredom in trading, and the discipline required to stay consistent through both winning and losing streaks.

Mike shares his wild early-crypto story — including holding nearly 1,000 Bitcoin during the 2013–2014 era — and how that journey led him from valuation investing, to arbitrage, to building automated mean-reversion and trend-following systems. He explains how Trader Post became the “Zapier of trading,” letting traders fire one signal and execute across dozens of accounts, brokers, and asset classes simultaneously.

In this episode, Austin reunites with Trader Nick for a wide-ranging conversation about Bitcoin, AI, and the markets. They open with the viral theory that Bitcoin could have been a U.S. government creation, exploring how control and transparency intersect in crypto. The two then debate the growing AI bubble — whether it’s overhyped, how it might replace jobs, and if universal basic income could become necessary as automation accelerates.Nick shares how he’s up 28% in 2025 by staying bullish on gold and equities, ignoring political noise, and focusing on macro data over headlines. He explains why bubbles often last longer than expected, comparing the AI boom to the dot-com era, and how discipline, not emotion, has helped him outperform the market.They wrap up with thoughts on prop firms — Austin calling them “the Ozempic of trading” — and the habits traders need to build beneath the surface. Nick also gives an update on his A1 Trading software, which helps traders analyze macro trends across markets. The episode closes with both agreeing that for now, it still pays to “stay with what’s working” until the data says otherwise.Connect with Nick -  @A1Trading   @TraderNick  Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠Code: ASFX for 50% offSponsor: TradezellaLink: ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠Code ASFX for 20% off🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX—🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 ⁠https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/categories/Futures101⁠—📊 Custom VWAP Indicator⚡️Get the exact tool I use to find high-probability setups!🔗 ⁠https://www.luxalgo.com/asfx⁠—🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!💥 Use code ASFX for 50% OFF your first month🔗 ⁠https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/catalog⁠—🏆 Prop Firm Discounts – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠   🔗 Take Profit Trader → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tpt⁠ — 🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠ —🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 ⁠https://bookmap.com/members/aff/go/thesilverinvestm?i=144⁠

Matt shares his nine-year journey from crypto and options to mastering order flow on the ES, explaining why resilience, discipline, and risk management matter more than any “get-rich-quick” prop firm pitch. He breaks down how he uses volume profile and order flow for razor-sharp precision and why most traders fail because they treat prop accounts like demo money instead of building good habits with real capital.Together, Austin and Matt dive deep into the mindset of a true professional — focusing on process over outcome, developing repeatability, and learning to win slow. It’s a raw, honest conversation about what trading really demands and how to survive long enough to succeed.Connect with Matt - https://www.youtube.com/@UChpET_QRv2MbCxGXtWRytHQ Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠Code: ASFX for 50% offSponsor: TradezellaLink: ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠Code ASFX for 20% off🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX—🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 ⁠https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/categories/Futures101⁠—📊 Custom VWAP Indicator⚡️Get the exact tool I use to find high-probability setups!🔗 ⁠https://www.luxalgo.com/asfx⁠—🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!💥 Use code ASFX for 50% OFF your first month🔗 ⁠https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/catalog⁠—🏆 Prop Firm Discounts – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠   🔗 Take Profit Trader → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tpt⁠ — 🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠ —🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 ⁠https://bookmap.com/members/aff/go/thesilverinvestm?i=144⁠ 

In this episode, Zach Boyajian returns for a long-awaited Part 2 with futures trader Zach Boyajian. They dive deep into prop firm payouts, SIM farming, overconfidence, and the real cost of copy trading. Zach shares how he went from blowing SIM PRO accounts to balancing personal capital and live prop accounts. He explains why a $20K payout doesn't make you a trader if you lost $15K getting there. The conversation unpacks emotional tilt, overtrading, and the boom-bust cycles that trap most new traders. Zach now trades one high-quality setup a day, focused on risk control and longevity. He breaks down how he uses VWAP, volume profile, and CVD to make sense of the ES and YM chaos. This episode is brutally honest, packed with strategy, and a must-listen for anyone in the prop space.Connect with Zach - https://realdealfutures.com/ Futures Bootcamp Tickets - https://asfx.biz/bootcamp/ Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠Code: ASFX for 50% offSponsor: TradezellaLink: ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠Code ASFX for 20% off🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX—🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 ⁠https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/categories/Futures101⁠—📊 Custom VWAP Indicator⚡️Get the exact tool I use to find high-probability setups!🔗 ⁠https://www.luxalgo.com/asfx⁠—🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!💥 Use code ASFX for 50% OFF your first month🔗 ⁠https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/catalog⁠—🏆 Prop Firm Discounts – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠   🔗 Take Profit Trader → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tpt⁠ — 🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠ —🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 ⁠https://bookmap.com/members/aff/go/thesilverinvestm?i=144⁠ 

In this episode, Austin is joined by Jen Keter, Rebecca Loree, and Christine Letersky for an honest conversation about the realities of becoming a successful trader—especially for new and part-time traders balancing family life. The group covers where to begin (futures vs. swing trading), how to find your edge, and why the right strategy means nothing without discipline and rules. Jen emphasizes that trading requires sacrifice and focus, especially for busy parents, while Rebecca shares how her passion for finance grew over the years and why strategy shopping—not hopping—is key to growth. Christine offers insight into the emotional side of trading and why swing trading fits her travel-friendly lifestyle better.The group dives deep into key beginner questions: Is trading gambling? Are trading courses worth it? Should you copy trade with prop firms from day one? The consensus is clear—trading only becomes gambling when you lack a plan, mentorship beats courses due to accountability, and no one should start with copy trading until they’ve proven themselves with at least one payout. They also highlight red flags to watch out for with prop firms, including shady leadership and no payout proof. Overall, this episode offers a grounded, relatable look at what it really takes to succeed in trading—strategy, discipline, data, and the right mindset.Connect with Jen - https://www.instagram.com/jen.ketter/Connect with Christine - https://www.instagram.com/christineleterskytrades/ Connect with Rebecca - https://www.instagram.com/rebeccaatrades/ Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠Code: ASFX for 50% offSponsor: TradezellaLink: ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠Code ASFX for 20% off🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX—🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 ⁠https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/categories/Futures101⁠—📊 Custom VWAP Indicator⚡️Get the exact tool I use to find high-probability setups!🔗 ⁠https://www.luxalgo.com/asfx⁠—🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!💥 Use code ASFX for 50% OFF your first month🔗 ⁠https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/catalog⁠—🏆 Prop Firm Discounts – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠   🔗 Take Profit Trader → ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tpt⁠ — 🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠ —🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 ⁠https://bookmap.com/members/aff/go/thesilverinvestm?i=144⁠

We cover sentiment reads, crypto/tech correlation, metals at highs, and a full breakdown of his $10K overnight trend trade from a simple daily inside-bar break.

This week’s episode was all about how to scale your trading business with copy trading. We broke down why prop firms are the best starting point—you limit downside, learn rules, and can grow into bigger payouts faster. The key is proving yourself with one account and one payout first, then using copy trading to multiply small wins across 10, 20, or even more accounts.It’s not about trading all day; most green days come from one or two clean setups—when you scale that across accounts, a $200 trade becomes $2K. If you want to take your trading from “hobby money” to real business income, scaling with copy trading is the proven path.Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tof Code: ASFX for 50% off Sponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx Code ASFX for 20% off🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX—🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/categories/Futures101—📊 Custom VWAP Indicator⚡️Get the exact tool I use to find high-probability setups!🔗 https://www.luxalgo.com/asfx—🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!💥 Use code ASFX for 50% OFF your first month🔗 https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/catalog—🏆 Prop Firm Discounts – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → https://www.asfx.biz/tof   🔗 Take Profit Trader → https://www.asfx.biz/tpt — 🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx —🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 https://bookmap.com/members/aff/go/thesilverinvestm?i=144 

Bruce Pringle of Bookmap shows how to see confirmed stop runs and iceberg orders, revealing who’s actually in control of the move and why futures’ centralized order book gives retail a transparency edge. He introduces a hands-on Pilot Program that focuses on one setup using Replay + the Bookmap Journal to prove an edge with stats before scaling. The MBO bundle surfaces factual stop/iceberg transactions; filters (including standard-deviation thresholds) and cumulative sub-charts help separate signal from noise and spot regime shifts. They walk through a cascading stop-run example, the common “vacuum” rebound after sellers are washed out, and how icebergs often absorb flow on the other side.Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tof Code: ASFX for 50% off Sponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx Code ASFX for 20% off🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX—🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/categories/Futures101—📊 Custom VWAP Indicator⚡️Get the exact tool I use to find high-probability setups!🔗 https://www.luxalgo.com/asfx—🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!💥 Use code ASFX for 50% OFF your first month🔗 https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/catalog—🏆 Prop Firm Discounts – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → https://www.asfx.biz/tof   🔗 Take Profit Trader → https://www.asfx.biz/tpt — 🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx —🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 https://bookmap.com/members/aff/go/thesilverinvestm?i=144 

Zach returns after shattering his ceiling: $34K in prop-firm payouts in one month. He explains the flip that did it—moving from high-R/low-win models to negative risk-reward scalping on NQ (5–10 points, limit entries, fewer trades). We dig into how prop rules shape strategy, why high win-rate models fit prop better, platform preferences (Tradeovate vs Project X), Topstep for quick payouts vs bigger buffers on Tradeify, and the real cadence of payouts (they arrive in waves). Zack also shares his counter-intuitive risk curve (start aggressive to build buffer, then size down), how teaching his course sharpened his edge, and practical budgeting so hot streaks become income—not lifestyle creep.Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tof Code: ASFX for 55% off Sponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx Code ASFX for 20% off🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX—🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/categories/Futures101—📊 Custom VWAP Indicator⚡️Get the exact tool I use to find high-probability setups!🔗 https://www.luxalgo.com/asfx—🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!💥 Use code ASFX for 50% OFF your first month🔗 https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/catalog—🏆 Prop Firm Discounts – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → https://www.asfx.biz/tof   🔗 Take Profit Trader → https://www.asfx.biz/tpt — 🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx —🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 https://bookmap.com/members/aff/go/thesilverinvestm?i=144 Timestamps:02:30 From $10K ceiling to $34K: what changed05:45 The mechanics: NQ +5–10pts, limit fills into FVGs08:00 Trade frequency and copy-trading across firms10:40 Platforms: Tradeovate vs Project X execution12:45 Fast payouts: why Topstep is “easiest” first check15:30 Buffer math with Tradeify 150Ks & consistency rules20:10 Why prop rewards high win-rate, low R models23:20 ICT as framework + volume profile & VWAP crossover27:30 Trading at ATHs: scalping internal liquidity31:45 Common ICT pitfalls (top-calling, timeframe alignment)36:30 Industry talk: payout caps, static DD, personal capital41:00 Payout reality: budgeting for waves, not salaries44:30 Risk curve flip: front-load size, then tighten46:30 Final advice & course tease (ASFX TV, target October)

Alex went from touring the world as half of the hit UK DJ duo Tough Love to becoming a full-time futures trader and educator. When COVID shut down his music career, he pivoted from small-cap short selling into futures, developing his “Flowzone” strategy — a system built on EMAs, anchored VWAPs, volume profile, and tape reading with Bookmap. He primarily trades NQ during New York mornings, focusing on location and momentum to find high-probability entries and moving stops to breakeven quickly when momentum confirms.Alex’s advice for consistent payouts: master one setup, trade small to learn firm rules, and avoid leaderboard-chasing mentality. He stresses that traders need to understand market conditions, keep their timeline realistic, and protect both financial and time freedom. Trading is as much psychological warfare against yourself as it is against the market. Social media can push traders to overtrade, so stay process-driven, not outcome-driven.Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tof Code: ASFX for 55% off Sponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx Code ASFX for 20% off🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX—🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/categories/Futures101—📊 Custom VWAP Indicator⚡️Get the exact tool I use to find high-probability setups!🔗 https://www.luxalgo.com/asfx—🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!💥 Use code ASFX for 50% OFF your first month🔗 https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/catalog—🏆 Prop Firm Discounts – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → https://www.asfx.biz/tof   🔗 Take Profit Trader → https://www.asfx.biz/tpt — 🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx —🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 https://bookmap.com/members/aff/go/thesilverinvestm?i=144
