I'm gonna be honest, most people don't fail prop firms because they're bad at trading. They fail because they don't understand how prop firms are actually meant to be traded. So in this video, I'm going to show you the easiest way to trade prop firms, even if you're a complete beginner. Now look, it's important that you understand that trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It took me honestly over 3 years of trial and error to get to where I'm at today. But in this video, I'm going to break down the exact approach that I would use if I was starting from zero today, with limited experience, with limited capital, but I still wanted to be able to make money day trading. So by the end of this video, you'll not just understand what prop firms are, you'll also understand how to trade prop firms the right way. We're going to dive into my favorite strategy to use with prop firms. We're going to go over how to use the strategy, a bunch of examples of it, so you know exactly what to look for, the setups to take and the setups not to take. We're also going to go into the data of this strategy that proves that this is an absolutely amazing strategy that I've been able to use with prop firms. I'm just going to make sure that fully understand the strategy and see not just why it works, how it works, but the fact that it actually does work with real data. We're also going to go into why most people fail prop firms and how to actually stay funded long enough to get payouts. And the most important thing is I'm going to give you guys the absolute best prop firm to use today. So with that being said, grab yourself a notebook, grab some water, a little snack or something, and let's dive right into this. So first of all, what even are prop firms and how do they work? So essentially, a prop firm or a funded account is a company that allows you to pay them a small fee, and in exchange, they'll give you access to capital to trade with. Meaning, for example, you can pay this funded account or this prop firm $500, and when you do that, they'll give you a $100,000 account to trade with. Now, there's rules. Usually with prop firms, you'll pay that $500, they'll give you a $100,000 account to trade with,, and usually that's like a trial account or a challenge account, meaning this is where the prop firm or the funded account actually checks to see if you know how to trade or not, because you'll pay that $500, you'll get the account, and they say you have to make $5,000 on the account without losing $3,000 first. And if you're able to do that, then they would then give you a real $100,000 account to trade with, and the profits that you make on it, you're able to keep a high percentage of it. Usually the percentages is like 80 or 90% of the profits that you make. So for example, if you pay $500 and get access to a $100,000 account and you pass the challenge, meaning you prove to them that you know how to trade by making a certain amount of money without losing a certain amount of money, they then give you that $100K account. If you make $10K on that account, you can withdraw $8,000 or $9,000 and that money goes straight to your bank account, meaning you can spend it on a watch, some sneakers, You can pay rent, maybe put a down payment on a Lamborghini or something. I don't know. But that's essentially how prop firms work. And the cool part about it, though, is let's say, for example, you pay that $500, but you lose $3,000 on the account. You don't owe the prop firm $3,000. You don't owe them anything. The only money out of pocket for you ever is that initial fee that you paid to take that challenge or to get that account. So if you paid $500, the most you're out of pocket is $500. You're not going to— they're not going to come knocking on your door or send some crazy person to your your house to collect $3,000 or $10,000 or $50,000 that you lost on their account. The only money out of pocket, as I said, is that initial fee that you paid to purchase the account. So as you can see, it's an amazing way to leverage your money if you don't have a bunch of money to start off with. Like I said, these accounts can just cost a few hundred bucks and they give you access to hundreds, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars to trade with. But it also limits your downside. Because no matter what, the only money you're out of pocket is that initial fee that you paid. No matter how much you lose on the account itself, you don't have to pay them that money and you don't owe them and you didn't lose $3,000. So it's a great way for traders to be able to leverage the knowledge that they have from learning how to trade and then use that knowledge and have it backed by other people's money so you can actually make a good amount of money trading. Because honestly, if you have $1,000 in your account to put into a trading account,, it's gonna be very hard to make $5,000 or $10,000 a month. But if you're trading a funded account and let's say you have a $100,000 funded account that you bought for $500, well, it's a lot easier to make a few thousand dollars if you have $100,000 than it is with $1,000. So that's really one of the main benefits and the main perks of using a prop firm. Now, I'll be honest, there are some pitfalls. There are some bad things about prop firms. I know you might be thinking, oh, this sounds too good to be true. What's the bad side? So one of the bad sides is that you really have to make sure you choose the right prop firm when you're starting off, because there are a lot of like bad prop firms out there that will not just have those rules that I talked about where you have to hit certain profit targets without losing a certain amount of money, but they'll have like small rules that they hid in like a corner of their website that says you can't trade on a Thursday at this time, or you can't do this, you can't do this. And that caused you to just keep blowing the accounts or keep losing the accounts or failing the accounts. Now, yes, you can just, pay a small fee, like usually like $100 or $200 to reset the account and kind of try again. But that's not what you want to do. You don't want to keep paying money because you keep failing these rules that you weren't even aware of. So you have to be aware of the prop firm that you're choosing and aware of their rules. That's why I said later in this video I'll give you guys my recommendation of what I believe is the best prop firm out right now, because there's also other things you have to worry about. Because let's say you do pass the account and you make $10,000 in profit and you request to withdraw it. There are a lot of scammy prop firms out there that you'll request a $5,000 withdrawal, $10,000 withdrawal, and they'll deny it. They'll keep your money. They'll never send it to you. So you traded for no reason at all, and it was just a complete waste of time. That's just something you want to be very, very aware of, because that is something that can happen with prop firms. But like I said, later on this video, I'll give you guys one that is reputable, that actually pays out and things like that. But, but I just want you guys to be aware of all that when it comes to prop firms. So yes, it's amazing when you have a great prop firm and you're trading it the right way, but just be aware of the fact that there are bad prop firms. So you make sure you're vetting the prop firm that you're using and you understand their rules first before you start trading with them. Now, that being said, you understand what prop firms are, you understand the benefits of them, and you also know what to look out for. Now let's hop into the strategy that I use to generate profits like this trading prop firms. Yes, this is real money that went straight to my bank account. Like I said, we're not just going to go over the strategy. I'm going to make sure you guys completely understand this strategy, how to use it, but we're also going to go into the data. I'm going to show you guys 2 weeks' worth of data that if you had just taken this one strategy one time a day, you would have been able to pass any prop firm. And on top of that, I'm also going to go over my entire flywheel that allows me to have the right risk amount, because if you risk too much on prop firms, you can lose them before you start making money. So I'm going to give you guys my exact risk plan, and I'm going to give you guys my profit-taking plan because you can make all the profits you want on these prop firms, but if you don't withdraw it to your bank account, it's just numbers on the screen. So I'm going to give you guys my exact plan for risk that allow me to not blow accounts but also make a good amount of money where it makes sense to trade these prop firms. But I'm also going to give you guys when I take payouts, like what, what is my schedule for taking payouts? How does it work? How fast do I take them? How often do I take them? We're going to do all that inside that video, but the first step is going over this killer strategy.. So let's hop into it. All right. So here we are on the charts. This is my simple 4-step checklist for my London breakout strategy, which is the strategy that has absolutely killed it for me trading these funded accounts. Now it's a very, very simple strategy. And that's why I said in the beginning of this video that it's amazing, even if you're a complete beginner. So we're going to dive into exactly how to set up this trade, what to look for, what all this even means. So even if you're a complete beginner, you understand this. Now, first of all, we have to understand that there are different market sessions. There are different trading sessions. We have the London session. We have the New York session. We have the Asia session. And why that's so important is because during these different sessions, there are different banks or hedge funds that are in control. If you did not know, us as day traders, we don't move the market. If you're trading with $100,000 or $1 million or $10 million, you're not really moving the markets. It's these big banks, it's these big hedge funds, it's these conglomerates of people. I don't even know if I said conglomerate. I'm not even going to say it again. But there's these huge people that have billions and billions of dollars that are moving the markets. And just like you go to your day job between, let's say, 9 to 5, same thing with these bankers. They're working between 9 to 5 or whatever their hours are. So during those periods, that's when these big hedge funds or bankers are actually trading. And obviously we know there's different time zones all over the world. In London, they're working at like New York time, 3 o'clock in the morning, they starting work. So that's where you get like London session or Asia session or New York session. And the reason why it's so important is because What happens during these sessions usually affects the session after it. So what happens during London session usually affects what happens in New York session, and New York session usually affects what happens in Asia session, and Asia session affects what happens in London session, and so on and so on and so on. So with that being said, understanding these different sessions allows us to understand and be able to predict what will happen in the next session. And that's what this strategy is. This strategy, as I mentioned, is called the London breakout strategy. This allows us to catch a breakout of when New York session breaks outside of the London session highs and lows. Now I'll be completely honest with you, this 4-step checklist right here really simplifies things very drastically. And I have another tip for you guys because London session starts at 3:00 AM Central Standard Time, so that's 4:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, and actually goes all the way up until 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. But we're looking at the price that's happening from when London session starts, which is at 3:00 AM Central Standard Time or 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. But we're looking at what actually happens from the start of London session, which like I said is 4:00 AM Eastern Standard Time, all the way up to the start of New York session, which is at 9:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. We wanna see all the price action that's happening in between this time window. Now I know you guys can see this little yellow line on my chart and this white line. The yellow line signifies London session start, and the white line signifies New York session start. And it makes it very easy to trade this strategy. So I highly suggest everybody to be able to put this indicator on. It's called Kill Zones. So if you go to Indicators here and go to type in Kill Zones, you'll see Kill Space Zones. You'll see this one pop up by Oscar VS. You'll want to click that on your chart. Now for you, it might look a little bit different. Um, but you can come over here to your settings and actually press settings on the indicator, and you can copy my settings here because usually you'll have like a bunch of lines and stuff like that. I don't really like all that stuff on my chart. I just want to see when London started and when New York session started. So I'll just take all that off because I don't really want that. And then also under style, you can change the settings as well so it can match mine. Uh, you could just literally match exactly mine that I have here if you want your charts to look exactly like mine. Because as I mentioned, I just care about when London session started and when New York session started. So once you have that on your chart, it makes it very simple to see, okay, this is the high of London session, and then this is the low of London session. Because as I mentioned, we want to see the highest point and the lowest point during London session. That's step one. It's marking off the London high and the London low. And obviously you can do this without having the indicator on, but the indicator just makes it so much easier to see it. What I like to do is I'll take my rectangle tool right here.. And I'll just draw a box from the highest point during London session, the highest point after the yellow line started all the way to the lowest point after the yellow line started before the white line started. So this is exactly what it would look like. Let's rewind here. So this is exactly what it would look like right here. This would be what a marked up London high and London low looks like for me. Now, the next thing we're waiting for is our entry. I mentioned this is a London breakout strategy, meaning we're waiting for a breakout of the London high or a breakout of the London low, whichever one happens first. If it breaks the London high and then breaks the London low, we're only taking the setup that happened first. We're only taking one trade a day. This is not a, a strategy where if it breaks the high point, you'll take buys. And then let's say it comes back down here and it breaks the low point, you'll take sells. That's not what we're doing. We're only taking one trade per day and we're walking away happy with either a win or a loss that we have. Once we get a break of this after the white line, we're just simply waiting for the white line to happen and a break of it to happen. Let's fast forward a little bit and see if we get a break of it. As soon as we get price break it, which is right here, we'd enter for the trade and we're putting our stop loss below the most recent low that is created. The most recent low is right here. If you don't know what highs and lows mean, it's simply like this. We know price never just goes straight up and we know price just never goes straight down. It'll go up, down a little bit, up, down a little bit, up, down a little bit, right? And then obviously when it's selling down, it'll go down, up a little bit, down, up a little bit, down, up a little bit. During this uptrend, price is creating all these lows, right? And then during this downtrend, price is creating all these high points. These are, um, just high points that are being created as the market is selling down. So for this strategy, if we enter for a buy, we're placing our stop loss below the most recent low. So if we look in this example here, the most recent low is down here. If we're just drawing it up on our charts We have a low created here. Price just really bought up here. Some people would argue that this little hesitation right here is a low, but I want to see the overall low. I want to see a major low, not a small little one candlestick, uh, retracement. And we'll go over a bunch of examples here so you guys understand it fully and know what a low looks like and what a high looks like. So we put our stop loss below the most recent low, which is right here. Our entry was right here.. And as I mentioned with our checklist, we are going for a TP of a 2:1 risk to reward ratio, meaning whatever amount of money we're risking, if it hits our take profit, we're gonna make 2 times as much as that. The reason that's important is 'cause when we're trading these prop firms, we want to be able to risk a small amount of money while making a lot of money. So in this example, if we're trading a $100,000 account and we're risking $500 per trade, Every single trade we lose, we're losing $500, but every trade we win, we're winning $1,000. And that's the type of risk to reward that we want. And that's why this strategy is absolutely amazing when you're trading prop firms, because like I said, you risk a small amount, but you make a lot. So we'll drag our long position tool here until it gets to a risk to reward ratio of a 2. And that's simply it. So we're in the trade now and we can fast forward and see if this trade actually ends up playing out. So as you can see, this trade is going to the upside and right here, it ends up hitting our full take profit. And this trade would've ended up allowing us to win this trade. And depending on how much we were, we were risking, we made 2 times as much as we were risking. Now we did this simple strategy by following the same 4-step checklist. We marked off our London high and our London low. We waited for a 1-minute break of the London high or low. Keep in mind, this strategy is done completely on the 1-minute timeframe. You don't need the 5-minute, you don't need the 1-hour, you don't need the 4-hour, you don't need the daily. You can stay on the 1-minute timeframe for this strategy because we're marking off the high and we're marking off the low on that 1-minute timeframe. And then once we entered, we placed our stop loss below the most recent low since we entered for a buy. If we entered for a sell, we'd place our stop loss above the most recent high point. Um, but in this example, we entered for a buy. And then once we have our stop loss in place, Then we're putting our TP at a 2:1, which is exactly as we did right here. Now we can go over multiple examples of this. You're gonna notice that this strategy and setup happens multiple times. You're gonna see multiple different opportunities for you to be able to hop into this trade. Most of the time you'll get a setup at least once a day. So this is the previous day. As you see, we have London session started right here with this yellow line. So we'd mark off the high point of London session. Let's actually start with the low right here. Which is the low, and then the high point, as you see, is right up here. So now we have our London high and we have our London low, and you'll see the white line started and we didn't instantly get a setup. Price kind of went up and down for a little bit right inside of here, and then we finally got an entry when price broke above it right here. Once price broke above it right there, we entered into the trade. We put our stop loss right below the most recent low, which is right here, And then we just allowed price to hit our full take profit after we, uh, dragged our TP to a 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio. And as you see, this trade ended up hitting beautifully and then reversing down. That's perfectly fine, we already got outside of the trade. Now let's go over a selling position here. Right here we have another opportunity for sells to the downside. You can honestly just scroll back, and I highly suggest for every single person watching this video Don't just take my word for it. Look at this strategy, go over this checklist and backtest it. If you don't know what backtesting is, I've made at this point 4 videos on backtesting. If you just search Juvier backtesting, that'll show you exactly how to backtest, but backtest and test out this strategy for yourself. See, practice drawing off your London high and low. Practice waiting for your entry. Practice finding your stop losses. Practice hitting your take profits or putting your take profits at a 2:1 risk to reward ratio. I wouldn't suggest for any single person to just watch this video and start trading this. Straight on their live account or straight on their funded account. Practice the strategy for yourself. Get the data for yourself. Yes, we're about to go over the data that I've had over the last 2 weeks trading this one strategy, but I want you guys to see the data for yourself. Never take anything I say as 100%. Go test it for yourself and let me know how it works out. So like I said, we have another example here where we have the low of London created. Uh, we can mark it off with a line as well if you want., or we can mark off the high as well over here. So we waited for price to enter us into the trade, a break of the low right here, stop loss above the most recent swing high, targeted a 2:1 risk to reward ratio right here for a simple, smooth trade for sells. So as you guys can see, this is an extremely repeatable process. We're simply just waiting for breaks of the London high and low. The main thing that we have to be aware of is just being patient enough to wait for our entries. Be patient to wait for a break of that London high. Now we're entering as soon as it breaks it. We're not waiting for the candlestick to close above it or close below it. If we're looking for sells, we're entering as soon as price breaks it. We're putting our stop loss right below that low and we're targeting that 2:1. So having gone through all these examples, let's dive into the data behind this actual strategy itself. So here you can see the data. This is if we had started with a $100,000 account. We made multiple examples of funded accounts that have $100,000 accounts, and most of the time for it to pass that challenge with a $100,000 account, you need to profit over $4,500. That's for most prop firms. They want you to hit that profit target, um, to then pass the challenge. As you can see, trading this one strategy in a matter of 2 weeks, we were able to not just pass the challenge, but even make more money by trading this one strategy, taking one trade a day that really probably takes 30 minutes out of your day. Now you can see here that the stats on it, as far as the win rate, the win rate is about a 66% win rate over the past 2 weeks or so. We've taken a total of 9 trades with 6 wins and 3 losses. We can actually scroll down here and look at our daily rate. So you'll see we're winning $1,400 most of the time, and we're risking about $700 per trade on each account. So that's why you see we're hitting these 2:1 risk to reward ratios. Every losing day is at about $700 or a little bit less than $700, and every winning day is 2 times as much as that. We had $1,400, $1,400, $1,400, $1,400. This trade right here, we had taken— the only reason it's not $1,400 is because we were in this trade for 10 hours, and usually I don't like to hold my trade that long, so I just closed it at whatever profit it was at. By the time the New York session was about to end, which is that I usually close my trades roughly around like 2 PM Eastern Standard Time. So that's why this one is not a full $1,400. I just closed my trade out early because the market was about to close because the trade was taking way too long. So as you can see, we're just trading this one strategy and not even having like a crazy win rate. This is a 66% win rate. It's nothing crazy, um, but because we're always hitting a 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio were able to profit over 5% on that account. And that's one strategy, one contract, one account. We'll get into later that you can actually have multiple of these accounts and link them all together. So this technically could have been a lot more money, which it actually was for me when I took these trades. But with that being said, that is the data behind it. Now, before we go into my risk parameters and my risk management that I usually suggest that you have, depending on whatever account size you're trading. And then also going over my profit taking schedule. Uh, let's go into what I believe is the best prop firm out right now. And that prop firm is The Edge Funder. Now I'll be completely transparent with you guys. This is my prop firm. I built a prop firm about a year ago and we launched it about a year ago. And the reason being is because I got honestly sick and tired of a lot of prop firms doing traders wrong. So me as a trader, I decided to build a prop firm that works amazingly with traders and has trader-friendly rules. Rules that allows for people to actually be able to make money trading. As I mentioned, there's a lot of scammy prop firms out there who are not owned by anybody that knows anything about trading. They're just trying to make as much money as possible. And so many things that they have inside of the prop firms and their rules and things like that are just not trader-friendly at all. And I got tired of a lot of my students or a lot of people that I helped learn how to trade continuously failing these accounts because of unfair rules. So I built my own prop firm with, as I mentioned, trader-friendly rules. Now, one of the cool things about my prop firm, The Edge Funder, is that we are an instant funding account, which means if you remember in the beginning of this video, I told you guys that most accounts or most prop firms make you pay a fee upfront, let's say $500. And once you pay that fee, then you take a challenge and you have to prove to them that you know how to trade. With my prop firm, we have no challenges. It's instant funding, meaning when you purchase the account and you make money on it, you can start taking withdrawals. And that was a huge thing that I wanted to be able to provide to traders because a lot of people can trade. They just kept failing challenges because the rules were like extremely strict. So with my prop firm, The Edge Funder, we decided to throw away that whole challenge aspect. You purchase an account, you still have rules to follow. Don't get me wrong, you still have rules to follow, but as long as you follow the rules, the money that you make, you can withdraw. We've literally never had a payout that was denied as long as they followed our rules. All of our payouts are processed on average in less than 2 hours, meaning when you request the payout, you're gonna get it sent to you on average in less than 2 hours. Most of the time, a lot quicker. We don't do any of that games where we hold your money or make you wait days and stuff like that after you've already earned the money. You've earned the money, we pay it out literally as fast as humanly possible. And also with my prop firm, we don't have any hidden fees. I mentioned to you guys, a lot of prop firms, when you pass the challenge, they make you pay these activation fees. That's like $200 where you have to pay that activation fee or they won't move you over to that real account for you to trade with. We don't have that. You pay the one fee that you see here. That's it. You pay it, you make money on it. You could withdraw. I've simplified prop firm trading as much as I could to allow as many traders as possible to be able to leverage our money to then make money. So that's one of the main reasons why The Edge Funder is the best prop firm that's out right now. You have a lot of restrictions and a lot of limitations removed from you. We have multiple account sizes, depending if you wanna start small with a $25K account, you have $50K accounts, we have $100K accounts, $150K accounts. So whatever stage you're at in your trading, or really how much you want to be able to leverage and make on your trading, we have the option for you to go about it. We have all our rules simply put on our website. We're not hiding any rules from you. You can literally find all of our rules on here. And another cool thing with the Edge Funder is that you can trade straight from your TradingView charts inside of our dashboard, meaning you don't have to learn a whole new platform. A lot of these other prop firms, they have these new platforms that you've probably never heard of, don't know how to use, and don't want to trade on. With our prop firm, it's not like that. You can trade directly from TradingView charts inside of your dashboard, so you never have to leave the dashboard. So it's super simple, super smooth. So if you want a reputable prop firm that's been consistently treating their traders right, since we've launched, the Edge Funder is the place for you. I'll leave a link for inside the description of this video, and you can actually use code START20 to get 20% off any account that you want to purchase. So that's a good little bonus there for you guys. Now, whatever prop firm you do end up using, regardless if it's the Edge Funder or another prop firm, you need to understand that risk management is key. And we just went over an absolutely amazing strategy that you guys saw the data on. You guys saw exactly how to use it, but if you don't have the proper risk management, that does not matter. So depending on where account size you're trading, we're going to run through exactly how much I usually risk when I'm trading those accounts. All right, so when I'm trading $25,000 accounts, I don't risk any more than $200 per trade. Now the reason I do that is because I need enough of a buffer away from the max loss limit, but I also need to make enough money where I can pass the challenge or get to a payout without waiting 30 years, right? So on a $25K account, the max I'm risking per trade is $200, and I'm never taking more than 2 trades per day. Now, if I win a trade, most of the time I'm always winning at least a 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio. So if I lose $200, that's fine, but every time I win, I'm winning $400. And as you can see, that will stack, and that will easily bring me to my either payout threshold where I can start taking payouts or pass my challenge. Now going on to a $50,000 account, with a $50,000 account, I'm never risking more than $450 per trade. That is the max amount that I'll risk per trade with a $50,000 account. Again, the reason being is because we want to risk enough where we're able to make more money when we're actually hitting our take profits. But if we go on a losing streak, we don't want that to completely blow the account. And I found that $450 is the sweet spot. For that account size. Now onto the $100,000 account. Honestly, I never risk more than $700 per trade. You guys saw with the tested results and the data that we just went over each trade, I'm risking $700 max. I'm never risking more than that on a $100,000 account because as I mentioned, if we lose $700, that's fine. Every time we win a trade though, I'm winning $1,400 or more. Depending if I hold the trade longer. So that allows me to risk a small amount where I'm not always gonna blow my accounts if I go on a 2, 3, or 4 losing streak, but it also allows me to quickly get over the payout threshold so I can start taking payouts, or it allows me to pass the challenge fairly quickly. So $700 has been the sweet spot for me. And then on $150,000 accounts, I'll be honest with you guys, I never go over $1,000 per trade of risk. With a $150,000 account. Most of the time though, I'm chilling at around $800 or $850 per trade risk. That's just what I like to be on the safe side because I can still make a good amount of money. Most of the time, if I'm risking $800, I'm going to make $1,600 or $2,000 every single trade I take, because I'm always taking a minimum of a 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio, like you guys saw with this strategy here. So that's why I'm okay risking that amount, because like I said, it also gives me a buffer where if I go on a losing streak, I don't blow the account and have to keep paying for more accounts. Now, all these account sizes, as I mentioned with the $25K account, I'm never taking more than 2 trades a day. If you're a scalper or somebody who takes more than 2 trades per day, cut that amount down that you're risking per trade, because overall the point of it is to be able to survive to get to the payout. Most traders, I promise you, they try and force it. They try and rush the process of getting funded. They try and get funded in 2 days or 3 days or 4 days, and that causes them to over-leverage. Leverage, and that causes them to blow multiple accounts, never getting funded and never getting payouts. Just take it slow. It doesn't have to be too slow with the amounts that I just went over. You're still able to hit it in a reasonable time. Like I went over the data, we were able to hit past the challenge or past the payout threshold within a matter of 10 days or so, which is perfectly fine. But we just wanna make sure that you're not consistently blowing accounts and consistently having to pay for more accounts. Now the fun part is when you actually leverage to have multiple accounts with the Edge Funder, which is my prop firm, you can have up to 5 5 accounts at one time and you can link them all together. So when you take a trade on one account, you're also taking the trade on all of the 4 other accounts. So technically all the money you make is getting multiplied by 5. So in that example where we went over that $100,000 account and we're up about $5,000 on it, we would've not just been up $5,000, would've been $5,000 times 5. So up $25,000 trading that same strategy still only trading one account because when we taking the trade on that one account, it's instantly also taking it on our connected accounts. And that's how I've been able to leverage to be able to make six figures with prop firms versus just like high four figures or sometimes five figures just trading one prop firm. So that's a little tad bit, but if you're completely new, I wouldn't suggest for you to go and get five accounts 'cause you obviously have to pay for five accounts. And if you're blowing accounts still, I don't want you to keep having to reset five accounts at a time. But once you get more confident, That is an option that allows you to literally leverage and be able to make way more money with doing the same amount of work. Because like I said, the trade copiers are automatic. Now we've talked before about the fact that none of this matters if you don't actually take payouts. And I try and urge people with these funded accounts, don't get in the mindset of trying to build it up. Don't try and build it up and then take one big payout. Take consistent payouts. My payout schedule right now is every single Friday I'm taking a payout. The profits that I made on it during that week, I'm taking a payout. But I also like for new traders to take a payout every 2 weeks. That gives you a little bit of breathing room because sometimes you won't be profitable every single week. But after 2 weeks, if you're trading a good strategy and having proper risk management, you should be able to take some profits and some payouts every 2 weeks. Don't hold this account and try and build it up and take one big payout. Just take small payouts as time goes. Take it out, put into your bank account, pay yourself, buy yourself something nice. Trust me, you will thank yourself later, because if you don't, you're just going to end up thinking that it's just numbers on a screen and you're going to stop trading the right way. You're going to start disassociating with it with actual money versus if you took it out and you bought a watch or something like that, every time you look at the watch, you'd be like, oh, I made this with trading. I should probably wait for my right setup. I should probably trade how I'm supposed to trade, and it's just a reminder. So that's why I always suggest for every single person to actually consistently take the payouts. Don't just let it stack up. Like I said, I take it every week. Doing it every 2 weeks is great as well, but please just don't let it stack up because there's so many things that can go wrong with you losing the money to the prop firm not wanting to pay you out. Obviously you don't have to worry about that with the Edge Funder,. But if it gets too big of a number, it'll scare prop firms. And if you request a $30,000 payout, they're just not gonna pay you out. And then you lost all that time for no reason. Versus if you continuously took 3, 4, 5K payouts, they're not really worried about that. Look, I've given you guys the full blueprint today. You know the prop firms, you know how they work, you know what risk you should use, you know when you should take payouts, and most importantly, you know the strategy that has absolutely killed it for me. That's allowed me to consistently take payouts like this. But here's the cold hard truth: a funded account will not change your life if you're still trading like a gambler. As I mentioned, most people fail prop firms not because they can't trade, it's because they force the markets to pay them. People will get funded and then they suddenly think that they're some superhero or the next Warren Buffett. At that point, they start overtrading, they get emotional, and ultimately end up blowing their account before before their first payout even hits. So if you actually wanna stay funded and actually start withdrawing money to your bank account every single week, you need to stop overthinking and you need to strip away the noise. With that being said, I actually made my first million dollars day trading by becoming an extremely lazy trader, probably the laziest trader you ever met. And I stopped looking for 100 trades a day and I started only looking for one. Now with that being said, I've put together this video right here that shows you exactly how to execute my Lazy Million Dollar Strategy on the same exact funded accounts that we just talked about. So if you're tired of the stress and you want a strategy that is super simple, very much like the one we just went over, but it's stress-free, click this video right now. I'll see you there.
