I have spent about 14k on props... This year I have withdrawn 36k. All that matters is a return on the investment

[saulataani]

I do the same, good setup I’m risking 5 contracts with TP at $1500 usually 2 to 3 days to pass then now.

[SmartPhotoVault]

Good advice. I agree with the scaling risk once funded.

The section at the end about account size is excellent too. I remember your previous video on this.

Yehhh the leverage on 50k futures is plenty, pass it with half the target and then just build a buffer to increase max drawndown once funded. It’s set up this way to make us better traders.

[TRADE-RUNNER]

Thank you Cam. Your videos are always laced with common sense!

[deanemarsden]

Thanks for sharing your prop firm journey bro!....much appreciated

[Pjblabla]

Thanks Cammy

Appreciate the transparency and genuineness

[MrGrannyStylez]

In the discussion between personal and funded account you might want to include the difference tax wise. In Europe you have to pay 50% on income tax for all profits from a prop firm and only 27.5% on personal account profits.

I’ve spent 15k with Apex alone this year and withdrawn 75k and have 42k pending with apex. I been trading for 8 years and love props and I love futures over FX. I use ICT concepts. This is my breakout year honestly. Prior to this my highest payout was 2k with FX props. Now I get 2k times however many accounts I have. I currently have 40😅😂

Great video Cammy, I've gone down the Forex route myself and I've been scammed multiple times with prop firms shutting down while waiting on a payout, it sucks. Happy to have moved over to Futures earlier this years and getting the payouts that I deserve. It takes skin in the game, but it will happen if traders are patient, disciplined and just play the prop firm game. Recently started my 5K personal account and it's a breath of fresh air not having to close out positions early out of fear of breaking some sort of consistency and trailing drawdown rule. If you're a profitable trader, definitely start up your own personal account and diversify. My question for you; Do you copy trade your personal account along with your prop accounts or do you just trade the personal separately? Also, do you trade your prop accounts in groups of say 5-10 accounts at once or just copy trade all your accounts together? I'm personally finding that by bundling a group of accounts together I'm able to minimize the impact of a bad day across all accounts.

Could you break down how you would go about "trying" to become a profitable trader if you where to start again today...
thanks mate.. hope you drop the vid.

[ravahuja]

Nicely explained but add that there some restricted countries like Philippines even if u pass the combine u will not be able to take the Xfa. Just putting it out there so newbies can watch out. Cheers everyone

[rsteeled]

I really love your videos. The honesty is refreshing. In your video “How I Treat My Trading Like a Business” you share a scaling plan. Is this the current scaling plan you use? If not, could you please share your current scaling plan?

[TillyTheDon]

I use Apex. Just got my 3rd funded. Gonna size down now.

[YusufEbr]

Most people don't know if their strategy has an edge. They lose and jump. You need backtest and forward test enough to know if your strategy works. Back it up with data before you go do challenges. Albeit discretionary or a step by step thing you got going on, order flow or ICT or SnD or Snr. Props aren't going anywhere just yet. The best have playbook or years behind them in daily work. Why rush?

[tick-collector]

Can you help to increase the number of XFA's per person from to maybe 5 or even 10. So we can use the art of leverage and compounding.

[waharley]

excellent video! keen to hear you who suggest as a broker for a personal account trading futures. Based in AU, and wondering where to look for reasonable margin requirements. thanks again

[carlosturner]

How do you know how much to risk on contracts it’s kinda hard and different from forex, with forex you can just set a dollar amount or percentage and set you stop Loss and that’ll be it with futures not so easy..

[Seli]

How much do you trust topstep ? I’m tired of these scam forex props . Any recommendations on what future to trade ? I trade GU now only, if I move to topstep I want to trade 1 smooth asset
