If I had to start from scratch with props..
Here's what I'd do:
• Pick an account size you can comfortably execute on
• Have the funds to buy multiple evals
• Diversify trades across accounts
• Get to a payout where new eval purchases are used with "house money"
What changes when you stop relying on copy traded funded accounts?
Everything.
Right now:
I have one account ready for payout.
Another one? Still pushing it higher.
So there’s zero pressure to overtrade.
Money is already secured.
Scale that to 10 accounts…
Now you’re collecting payouts weekly.
This is how you turn trading into cashflow.
Futures is by far better than FX.
FX is best if you want to look for HTF plays.
But if you are looking to scalp, there isn't a debate... futures is far superior.
$NQ
Over 400 points gap down 🩸
Over the weekend Iran & US were not able to come to a deal leading to this big gap down overnight.
Interesting to see how we trade off open and whether a deal could strike some time later in the week.
Most traders get this wrong.
They chase “huge” gains they see online and ignore solid $1.5k–$2k payouts.
Then they overtrade… and give it all back.
Truth: I’ve made ~$20k in 3 weeks just stacking small, consistent payouts.
Don’t fall for the hype.
Stack wins.
Get paid.
