The Big Challenge
It’s so easy to hit your loss limit when attempting to prop trade. John thinks this is the single biggest obstacle to getting started. The firms design it that way for a reason. If YOU don’t pass the test, the firm simply moves onto the next trader, making money in the process. Taking John’s advice can help you bypass this hurdle altogether.
Prop Firm Rules
We all think we know the rules, but we don’t. Yep, you guessed it – both John & Casey FAILED their first prop trading tests. Prop trading is a completely different beast, so the rules can be expected to be different as well. Until you learn and master them, you cannot trade well in this environment. If you want to learn, we can help.
Passing the Test
Spending $600 to get $100,000 to trade sounds like a pretty sweet deal, right? It sure is! But you must pass the test first and prove that you are capable of handling a large account. Once you do, however, the sky’s the limit. Prop trading has completely changed John’s life and he wants to help you learn how to do the very same thing.
