TICKER TRADING

Most traders who fail an evaluation never measured the rules that failed them. I teach you to, one to one, with the software my own prop accounts run on.

Video coming soon

The harsh reality of prop-firm trading.

Why most accounts fail, and what it actually takes to get paid.

The 1-to-1 program

What I teach you, one to one.

This is the process behind my own accounts, in 49 lessons. You learn how orders really get filled, how quant researchers decide whether an edge is real, how to size against a firm's exact rules, and how to scale on payouts. Then six one-to-one sessions apply all of it to your own strategy.

0001020304050607081-to-1

One column per lesson, grouped by part. Green: the six one-to-one sessions.

Phase 4 · Part 09 · one to one

Six working sessions on your own system.

Your strategy on screen, taken apart. You leave with a validated system, sized to one firm's rules, and a plan for the evaluation you're actually going to take.

The stack

Three tools. My own accounts run on all of them.

No signals, no copy-trading. You get the same three tools I run my own accounts on. They tell you which firm to pick, and they kill a weak strategy before it costs you an evaluation.

01

Trading Journal

Every account, every rule, one screen.

Import your trades from CSV. The journal tracks the buffer to the floor on every account, flags a breach the day it happens, and tells you which account can withdraw today.

  • Live drawdown buffer per account, trailing floors included
  • Payout Watch: what's withdrawable now, and what's blocking the rest
  • Prop Desk: fees, payouts, ROI and expected value per challenge
  • P&L calendar: every day, week and month, in dollars or in R

The real app, loaded with a generated demo book. Your own data never leaves your browser.

02

Prop-Firm Math Engine

Know your pass rate before you pay.

Set your win rate, reward-to-risk and size. The engine runs 800 simulated accounts through the firm's exact rules and gives you the pass rate, the days to a payout and the expected value of each challenge.

  • 22 accounts across 9 firms: MFFU, FundedNext, Lucid, Tradeify, GOAT and more
  • Trailing floors, consistency rules, daily loss limits and payout caps
  • An optimizer that finds the risk per trade that pays the most, in both phases

800 simulated evaluation paths between the profit target and the trailing floorEngine results: 27.9% eval pass rate, 60.5% payout probability, $117 EV per evalOptimizer answer: win rate, reward-to-risk and trades per day that price the account

Default run: MFFU Flex 50K at a 50% win rate and 1:1, a system with no edge at all.

03

Validation Engine

The test that killed my own EA.

Drop in a MetaTrader 5 report. Thirteen stages run on the real trade ledger: Monte Carlo, execution stress, walk-forward, Deflated Sharpe, overfit audit and 14 prop-firm rule sets.

KILLMy V3 FINALE EA: 1,543 trades from 2020 to 2026, a profitable backtest. At a realistic 0.05R of costs per trade the edge is gone.

Better to find that out here than on a funded account.

The indicators

Built from my rulebook, for my own chart.

I wrote these for my own chart. Each one is a separate script, so none of them runs out of drawing space when the chart gets busy.

01 · Position Tool

Your size, tick by tick.

Sizes the trade from the distance to your stop and shows the risk you're really taking after the contracts are rounded down.

  • Stop from a dragged level, fixed ticks, ATR or the last swing
  • Fixed dollars or % of account, with a hard contract cap for prop rules
  • Fires an alert carrying the order details, ready for a webhook to your broker

The strategies · included

Three profitable EAs, yours to run.

An opening-range breakout, a mean-reversion model and an intraday momentum strategy. Each one is backtested, stress-tested and optimized on 10 years of Nasdaq data, and coded as a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor. You get all three with the program.

The research

83 pages, every claim cited.

The research behind the method: the three layers a professional desk reads (order flow, options flow and macro), how an exchange's matching engine actually fills orders, and the standard of proof that separates an edge from luck. Every claim is cited and graded, from verified at the source to contested.

The call

Thirty minutes, your account on screen.

  1. 01

    You answer three questions

    Where you are, which firm, and what keeps breaking. Two minutes.

  2. 02

    I read them before we talk

    I run your firm's rules through the engine first, so we start with numbers.

  3. 03

    We find the leak

    Sizing, rules or the strategy itself. You leave knowing which one, and whether the program is worth it for you. If it isn't, I'll tell you.

Lifetime access

Pay once. Every update, forever.

The tools, the indicators, the EAs and the research live in the Discord. Every new build and fix lands in #updates, and lifetime members keep all of it for as long as I keep building.

FAQ

Before you book.

Is the call actually free?

Yes. Thirty minutes, no card. You tell me where you are, I show you where the account is breaking and which tool fixes it.

What exactly do I get?

The 1-to-1 program: nine parts and 49 lessons, then six one-to-one sessions on your own strategy. Plus lifetime access to the trading journal, the prop-firm math engine, the validation engine, the three indicators, the three EAs and both research documents, with every update to them. One payment, no subscription. We go through the price on the call.

How do the one-to-one sessions work?

Six video sessions, roughly every two weeks, each with work due before it. Your strategy is on the screen and we take it apart: build it, validate it, size it for one firm, pass the evaluation, then plan the scaling. Every session is listed here.

Do you sell signals?

No, and I won't. You get the tools and the method to build and test your own edge.

What markets do you trade?

Futures, mostly MNQ and NQ, on prop-firm accounts. The engine covers MyFundedFutures, FundedNext, Lucid, Tradeify, GOAT, FundedFuturesFamily, FundedTraderMarkets, Blue Guardian and FuturesElite.

Are the screenshots real?

The app is real; the accounts in it are a generated demo book, so nobody's private data is on this page. The validation screens are a real MT5 export of my own EA, and the indicator chart is a screenshot of my own TradingView.

I'm a beginner. Where do I start?

Book the call anyway. We start from where you actually are, and if the right answer is "don't buy an evaluation yet", that's what you'll hear.

Do I need to code?

No. Everything runs in the browser. If you want to go systematic, the EA work is taught step by step.
