In this episode of Prop Firm Trader, we’re joined by Brian Stonk, a trader who has taken over $2M in prop firm payouts.
Brian breaks down why most traders blow up after their first payout, why getting funded is only the beginning, and why prop firms should be used as a stepping stone rather than a casino.
We also discuss starting with one account, taking base hits, building accountability, backtesting vs forward testing, trading Nasdaq, gold and silver, and what it really takes to stay funded long term. We hope you enjoy this episode!
