## Questions about this video

What is the key to making consistent profits trading prop firms?

The key is understanding the prop firm environment, focusing on speed and multiple trades per day, realistic win rates, and managing risk according to prop firm rules.

How much starting capital do I need to make $30,000 per month trading prop firms?

JJ Simon recommends starting with $20,000 in evaluation fees and accounts, which allows scaling through multiple funded accounts and realistic pass rates to reach $30,000 monthly.

Why is speed more important than win rate in prop firm trading?

Because taking multiple trades per day with a smaller edge can reach profit targets faster than waiting for a high win rate with fewer trades, optimizing the time to payout.

Speaker A

I've taken $1.6 million worth of prop firm payouts, and 10 of my students are now past $30,000 a month. And here's the thing: none of them are better traders than you. They just understand the prop firm environment and how to trade within it. This environment rewards something completely different than a live account, and in this video, I'm going to break down the exact math, account stack, and strategy that we use [music] to create over $30,000 per month in profit. I'm going to start with the math, go over the exact account stack, and then we'll focus on the charts and the strategy to go over exactly how you can replicate this every single month.

00:10

Speaker A

So, let's start with the math. First, you need to be realistic with yourself and be realistic with the prop firm-specific environment. Lots of people are going to extremely overestimate their win rate. For example, if you had a 50%

00:21

Speaker A

win rate with a 1.5 risk to reward, where the breakeven is 40%, then using optimal sizing, you would turn $5,000 into $857,000 in a year with one trade per day.

00:29

Speaker A

Obviously, that is not possible, and no one is going to do that. So, first be realistic with your win rate, be realistic with your simulations. Next, speed is more important than win rate, especially on a prop firm. Here's a

00:39

Speaker A

little example of where you have a 5% edge but take one trade a day versus a 1% edge with 10 trades a day. Obviously, you have a lower win rate, and this is still assuming a 1.5 risk to reward,

00:50

Speaker A

which isn't optimal for the prop firm evals. Then, obviously, larger edge, larger pass probability, even double, but takes much longer time to get there because you have to risk a lot less, meaning you're going to get to your

01:00

Speaker A

profit target slower, and you're risking less because your edge is higher. So, it is going to get you to your accounts cheaper, but it's going to take six times as long. So, basically, when you get something for double the cost, but

01:09

Speaker A

you're getting it about six times as fast, there is a slight advantage to doing it this way. So, multiple trades per day, getting to your desired result much faster. Now, a few ways you can find these results specifically for you

01:19

Speaker A

and your strategy or my strategy if you'd like to test that one. All you have to do is simulate in the prop firm environment, what is going to be my pass rate? What is my payout rate? And then,

01:28

Speaker A

obviously, would payouts be larger than expenses? Now, what most people do wrong is they go into backtest, and they'll just keep track of their win rate, or they'll keep track of their equity curve, their account balance saying, "Okay, did I make money in this low

01:40

Speaker A

amount of sample size backtest?" Maybe yes, and then they'll run it on a prop firm, and then they'll be surprised, "Why is it not passing the accounts?" Anytime you hit a max drawdown, you're going to lose your account, right? So,

01:48

Speaker A

you have to make sure that your strategy performs in the prop firm-specific environment. So, when you go to backtest, pretend you have a prop firm account. Start with a 50K balance, and then if you ever lose $2,000, that means

01:59

Speaker A

you hit the max loss, and your account is gone. See how many times you can hit 53K before minus 2K, just the standard eval rules, trail your max drawdown, make sure you respect the consistency rules, minimum winning days rules,

02:08

Speaker A

whatever rules the prop firms have, and then you can just find your pass rate just by backtesting for it. Same thing with your payout rates. Or, I'll explain in this next phase exactly how you can find your payout rate if you know your

02:17

Speaker A

pass rate. So, now that you know a little bit more about realistic versus unrealistic math, and how speed is more important than win rate, I'm going to show you exactly how to replicate this to make $30,000 per month on prop firms.

02:26

Speaker A

All right, let's look at the account stack math. We are going to start with 20K. I know it probably seems like a lot, and it definitely is, but the same thing applies with $2,000 to your end goal, and the same thing applies with

02:35

Speaker A

$20,000 to your end goal. Uh, so, it's the same return on investment, you're just getting more accounts. It's not going to change your expected value by giving you more accounts. It's the same exact edge, just more capital at play.

02:46

Speaker A

So, obviously, a larger return, but the same percentage return. And the reason why I wanted to mention earlier, don't be unrealistic, is because lots of people are being extremely unrealistic with prop firms. They're trying to spend $500 and get back 10K. They're trying to

02:57

Speaker A

go for extremely high returns, which are very improbable. If you were that profitable, then you should just trade your own live accounts, and again, you'd make a million dollars in a year. The next year, you'd be at a billion, but

03:06

Speaker A

obviously, that's not possible. So, remember, be realistic, and we have to treat prop firms like a business. So, doing something like 20K to 60K is an extremely profitable return, but some people will look at this and be like,

03:18

Speaker A

"Why are you spending so much money?" Well, you just tripled your money, right? Like, that's an insane investment. What if I was

03:26

Speaker A

to put 20K in my stock portfolio, and I'd expect 10% over the turn of a year? But, if I'm

03:36

Speaker A

doing this in a month, everyone looks at me like I'm crazy, and they're like, "Why are you spending 20K on evals?" Well, I just made $40,000 a month, right? So, understand that prop firms are a business, they should be traded as

03:46

Speaker A

so, and let's go into exactly how 20K is going to create you easily 30K per month on prop firms with basically no optimizations at all. All right, so we're going to assume evals cost about $100, so then you'll get 200 evals for

03:55

Speaker A

this specific return that we're going to look for. 200 evaluations definitely seems like a lot, but your pass rate is expected to be about 33% if you're following the strategy that I trade.

04:07

Speaker A

Now, it might seem like a pretty low percentage, but the reason why I'm taking these lower pass rate percentages is because I can pass the accounts much faster, so I can get my return much faster. I would rather have a lower

04:18

Speaker A

return on a higher amount of money in a faster period of time. That is exactly how to make money the most efficiently on a prop firm environment. So, with a 33% pass rate, you are going to get 66

04:27

Speaker A

new funded accounts because you got 200 and then you passed one-third of them. And in order to pass the accounts, remember you have to reach plus $3,000 in balance before minus $2,000. Now that you're on the funded account stage here, just

04:37

Speaker A

assume we do the exact same thing. You trade the funded the exact same as you trade the eval, which obviously is not optimal. But for sake of video, just assume that you trade the funded the exact same as you trade the evaluation.

04:48

Speaker A

Funded has the same max drawdown, but the thing about the funded accounts is they don't have a profit target, which is obviously why you don't need to optimize for your chance of hitting exactly 3K.

04:58

Speaker A

You'd optimize for your expected value, which I go over in different videos. So, we'll just assume for sake of discussion you're going to maximize your chance of hitting 3K on the eval and then do the same thing on the funded. So, if you

05:05

Speaker A

have a 33% chance of making 3K on eval, transition to funded, you have the same drawdown, you have the same exact 33% chance of making 2K on funded. So, that's how we get from here to here.

05:14

Speaker A

Since you had 66 new funded accounts, 33% of them are going to pass or hit the plus $3,000 mark, which gives you 22 out of the 66 are now at $3,000 in balance.

05:24

Speaker A

So, that would be 3,000 times 22, gives you 66,000. $66,000 of sim capital, basically profit in your funded accounts. Now, remember you're in for 20K. Now you have 66K in your accounts.

05:35

Speaker A

How do we get out 55K in payouts? The reason why I have 55K is because the prop firms usually pay at a 90% split.

05:47

Speaker A

So, 55 times 90% is going to give you 49.5. So basically 50K. So all we have to do from the 66K of sim balance is withdraw 55K. And since we have 22 accounts at 3,000, we have 22 accounts at a $3,000

05:54

Speaker A

balance.

06:08

Speaker A

balance. The withdrawal requirements on most funded accounts, like Topstep, Lucid, Gratify, whatever, the top prop firms, the withdrawal requirements are five winning days of $150. Now, based on your risk management approach, whatever you used to pass the eval, just assume

06:22

Speaker A

you're doing the same on the funded. But sometimes when you reach 3k, you will already have five winning days and you can just take your first payout. If you don't, let's look at a little simulation here. This is a $3,000 balance. Now

06:32

Speaker A

let's assume I'm a break even trader, right? I just flip a coin and I'm going to risk $150 to profit $150 and I'm a completely break even trader. I'm going to flip a coin, it's going to be 50/50.

06:42

Speaker A

50% of the time I lose, 50% of the time I win, so I get back to 3k, but obviously we are assuming a little bit of commissions that you can add but account for because your winner would be

06:52

Speaker A

slightly higher than 50% if you have just a slight edge. So basically most trading is going to be break even in the long run. Anyways, if you have a break even win rate, no matter what your risk to reward is. You could even risk a

07:04

Speaker A

thousand and go for a thousand. This one would be higher variance for sure. You could even risk 1,500, go for 1,500. You could even do minus 100 plus 200. And this is a one to two ratio, right? So

07:15

Speaker A

with a one to two, the break even rate is 33%. So 66% of the time you lose 100.

07:20

Speaker A

These are multipliers. 66% of the time you lose 100 and then 33% of the time you win 200. This calculation here equals zero. So basically, assuming that you're break even, in the long run, no matter what your trading strategy is, if

07:32

Speaker A

you're break even, no matter what your risk to reward is, you are net going to come back to break even if you are break even. If your edge is 0%. So basically, what I'm trying to explain through this

07:43

Speaker A

math is saying that a funded account in $3,000 of profit is worth exactly $3,000 because if you have no edge, you're flipping a coin every time you trade, then on average, you're going to oscillate up, down, up, down, up, down,

07:56

Speaker A

and you're just going to return on average to that $3,000 balance. But, every time you hit an upwards oscillation in the an upwards an upwards movement, you are gaining a winning day.

08:06

Speaker A

When you lose, you don't lose the winning days, you're just getting back towards your 3K balance. You don't lose a winning day. So, you're oscillating with a break-even strategy back to $3,000. At this point, you'll have five winning days, and then you can take a

08:16

Speaker A

payout for half of the balance, which is $1,500. Remember, we have 22 of these accounts. So, that would be a payout for 22 \* 1,500, which should be 33,000. And in order to do this, all you had to do

08:30

Speaker A

is pass the eval, get five winning days on your funded account. Now, the amount of time that it takes you to achieve this first payout is up to your specific strategy. If you're taking a higher win rate strategy, you are going to get

08:41

Speaker A

there faster just because you're more likely to win on a day instead of breaking even, right? If you're 50/50 on any of these, if you're 50/50, it's going to take 10 days on average to get five winning days, right? You have a 50%

08:52

Speaker A

chance of winning, it's going to be five winning days after 10 trading days on average. But, for your personal strategy, your personal risk management, maybe you get there faster. So, now that you've taken your first payout for a

09:03

Speaker A

total of $33,000, that's half of your balance, so now you have 33K left in your funded accounts. And since you had 22 of them taken out, half, now you have the same exact 22 fundeds at $1,500 worth of balance. From here, this 1.5K

09:18

Speaker A

in Sim Capital is the exact same as this 3K. If, worst case, you're a break-even trader, you're going to get some winning days, you're going to get some losing days, on average, you will return to $1,500 in balance. But, now you will

09:28

Speaker A

have 1 2 3 4 5 winning days, okay? Now, you can take another payout for another 50% of your balance on all 22 accounts, which would be a payout of 22 \* 750.

09:40

Speaker A

This gives a payout for 16,500. And now, since you just withdrew half, which was 16.5k, you still have 16.5k in your accounts, right? Since you took out half. From here, we have done two payout cycles and passed the eval. Now, 16.5k

09:56

Speaker A

plus 33k for the total amount that you have taken in the form of payouts is equal to 49500.

10:04

Speaker A

This is almost the value that we want to achieve. Unfortunately, this value does not include profit split. So, we need 55k. Technically, there's a few different ways that you could achieve it within this desired speed of two payout

10:16

Speaker A

cycles. The first one, remember we had 3k and we took out half, then we had 22 accounts at 1500. You could take a slightly higher high risk high reward approach where 22 accounts at 1500 is 33k of sim capital. If, instead of just

10:28

Speaker A

doing small days on all of them, you take slightly more aggressive days on all of them, and you're still a break even trader, this is 33k capital, right?

10:36

Speaker A

If you're a break even trader with 33k in capital, no matter what your risk size is, with 33k in capital, on average, you're going to return back to 33k if you're break even, minus a little bit with fees and commissions, um but

10:48

Speaker A

hopefully you have like a 1% edge that accounts for those. Anyways, what I'm trying to point you at here is that 33k of sim in 22 accounts could become 33k of sim in 11 accounts. And the reason why I'm getting there is because imagine

11:02

Speaker A

you have 22 accounts at 1500. All of your accounts, you are going to do this, minus 1500 plus 1500. Obviously, don't do this. This is not This is probably not optimal. You're going to coin flip the entire account. 50/50 win rate. Half

11:14

Speaker A

of them are going to lose, half of them are going to win on average. Obviously, you can have good streaks, you can have bad streaks, but this is all averages because you want to have an average goal per month. You can have better, you can

11:23

Speaker A

have worse, but on average, you win 50% and you lose 50%. Now, 11 accounts are gone, but 11 accounts won this coin flip. And now, all 11 are at 3,000. And this is 33k in SIM capital, right? Which

11:35

Speaker A

is what I was just pointing back at here. Now, if you're 33k in SIM capital with 3k on 11 accounts, using this exact same thing over here with the break-even rates to get more winning days and then take more payouts, well, eventually all

11:46

Speaker A

of your accounts will have winning days, and then you could take out another 1.5k from 11 accounts. So, when you do 1,500 \* 11, that is 16,500.

11:55

Speaker A

Now, interesting to notice, this 16.5k is the exact same as this 16.5k. And the reason why is because we're not adding new SIM capital, and we are not going over the payout buffer, okay? So, this is a scenario in which there is no need

12:08

Speaker A

to take a higher variance approach. This, coin flipping the entire account, obviously, should be higher variance than just doing small trades to gain winning days, okay? Hopefully, that makes sense. Hopefully, you understand why I would reduce my risk as my funded

12:21

Speaker A

accounts grow in balance. Obviously, it's completely up to you, but when the EV is the exact same, if you're a break-even trader, if the EV is the same, your goal should be to reduce variance as much as possible. Now, there

12:30

Speaker A

is a scenario in which this would become a little more valuable, or this would become a little more valuable, and that has more to do with the payout caps and the move to live requirements on each site. Uh, but I will not get into that

12:39

Speaker A

in this video specifically. Anyways, from here, two payout cycles in, we are at 49.5k in payouts. Now, we'll just do a third payout cycle. Same exact thing as the first ones, right? Now, remember we took out half, so now we have 16.5k

12:50

Speaker A

in accounts again. Same exact thing here, just do more winning days and then take out half of that balance. So, it's pretty much just the same thing over.

12:57

Speaker A

That'll give you 8250, and now just add this onto this, and now you are at 57, 750 in payouts. Now that you have taken 57,750 in payouts, that is more than the required 55k. When you lose 10% of this

13:10

Speaker A

to the profit split, you are above 50k. It's like 51 or 52k. So, from there, you have successfully turned 20k into 51 or 52k in your bank account. So, you just made $30,000 in a month with a 33% pass

13:24

Speaker A

rate. Zero optimization for the funded accounts in profit. Trading everything the exact same as you would the eval.

13:29

Speaker A

Obviously not optimal because they have extremely different goals, but that is an extremely easy way to make 30k in a month assuming you have a strategy that can do that at scale and assuming you don't go on tilt and blow your accounts

13:39

Speaker A

when they're in profit. Also, you would still have $8,250 in your SIM accounts, but worst case for whatever reason you're so bad of a trader that you lose $8,250 out of your 66k. You'd have to have a pretty pretty below average win rate.

13:55

Speaker A

Don't even know if that would be possible. Anyways, there's an easy way to make 30k per month on the prop firm environment. Now, one clarification I will make is how are you able to do 200 evals in a month? And also remember,

14:06

Speaker A

three payout cycles, 33, 16.5, 82.50 gets us to our total amount. So, three payout cycles and passing the eval. How do we get three payouts and one eval pass in a month? A month has 22 trading days and three payout cycles require

14:20

Speaker A

five winning days, okay? So, with 22 trading days, we need to spend 15 at least on the winning days and then that gives us seven on the eval. So, if you're able to pass an eval under seven days, then you would be extremely

14:30

Speaker A

aggressive on your winning days, meaning basically taking no losses. Obviously not probably not fully possible, but if you're able to reduce time from your evals to maybe make this like three days, four days, or two days. So, two,

14:41

Speaker A

three, or four days on the eval, then maybe 15 would be increased to 18, 19, or 20. Basically giving you more lenience, giving you a longer time to get those minimum winning day requirements. Or, you could just take it

14:52

Speaker A

as slow as you want and you get the same exact turn, but it would be over a larger period of time. This is just to show you that 22 days gives you easily enough time to pass if you are being

15:01

Speaker A

aggressive enough with it. But now, let's go over the strategy and how exactly we are able to do 200 evals in one month. First, 66 fundeds become 22 in profit. And then remember, 200 evals become 66 funded become 22 in profit.

15:15

Speaker A

You can have five funded accounts in profit on one site. Just five funded accounts at a time on one site. So, this is obviously meaning you need more than four sites. There's easily eight different sites that you could try this

15:25

Speaker A

on that have paid out a very large amount to me, but you need more than four sites. So, minimum five sites, you go all the way up to eight sites, right?

15:33

Speaker A

From 200 evals across eight sites, that is 25 evals per site per month. And with four weeks, that's basically like six evals per week on a site. Shouldn't be too hard to get through six evals in a week, assuming you are at scale with a

15:48

Speaker A

trading strategy that works. Just in general, 200 evals over 22 trading days is going to be 10 evals per day. You could obviously do more trades if you want to get there faster. You could do less trades if you want to get there

15:58

Speaker A

slower. Totally up to you, but let me show you exactly how I'm able to place more than 10 trades in one day. I could even just show you only the New York market, but my strategy works for all of

16:08

Speaker A

the sessions. New York, 2:00 p.m., 8:30 a.m. if there's news. It works for Asian session, London session, 6:00 p.m. open, all the sessions. Anyways, we are going to assume a 1.5 risk to reward for all the trades that I would give you an

16:20

Speaker A

example of in this video. 1.5 risk to reward, just because that is the most optimal one for the evals. And then for sake of the video, remember we're assuming same strategy on evals as funded. Obviously not optimal, but

16:30

Speaker A

nonetheless, might as well. Anyways, the strategy that I trade is going to use one continuation of a session open, meaning capitalizing off an unfair move with an influx of volume, and then taking multiple reversions toward my personal bias. The whole goal here is to

16:45

Speaker A

have biased entries, because that's going to add you a little bit of edge to every single trade you take. When you're taking 10 to 20 entries daily, that little edge is going to add up a ton.

16:53

Speaker A

Remember, you could always trade a strategy that has a pretty high win rate, but only gives you one trade a day. And remember, you're not going to get a 50% win rate because then you'd be a billionaire in 2 years with a 1.5.

17:02

Speaker A

It's just not possible. So, let's assume small edge with a bias. How am I going to replicate that every single day? So, here's the New York session open. I'm going to treat that as what I think to be a fair price. I will take one

17:12

Speaker A

continuation away, and then only look for reversions. Obviously on this day, it It extremely choppy with the first three candles. There was zero break of structure, so no continuations there until the first continuation we get here. And remember, I'm always doing

17:23

Speaker A

3825. Sometimes I'll size down, sometimes I'll size up, but you could always do 3825 and it's going to be the same. On the opening candle, if the opening candle is more than 25 points, you can size down, but 3825 is going to

17:33

Speaker A

be fine. So, there's the first trade. Then we have a displacement up, and then you get more entries off of this, off of this, which one would have lost, but lots of entries within this. The most important thing is to layer your trades

17:44

Speaker A

when it's going in your favor with the trend. So, there's one continuation, one reversion. After that, it's too close to revert here. You need to wait for another move down, which we would get here. And then I saw another entry here

17:53

Speaker A

off a displacement, just meaning the candle is larger than the previous one and it closes above it. Then we get a nice break of structure here. Structure here gets broken here. Uh so, that would be all of the trades for this little

18:03

Speaker A

percentage. Then we have another entry here off displacement. Then nope, no displacement here. Next one we get would be down here. So, you'd get another one there. After that, just waiting for another displacement, which you get here.

18:16

Speaker A

Let's just copy this one, get one there. Next one you're going to get is going to be here. And then these ones are winning. You get another one here because this is a break of structure here. Then you get another one here, and

18:25

Speaker A

then another displacement here. So, it is quite aggressive. You're able to get through a ton of trades all with your bias in the specific direction. And then it can lose a few in a row at a time, right? You can start two wins, lose,

18:37

Speaker A

lose, lose, lose, and then you win one, two, three, and then you lose two, right? Remember, it's 1.5. On average, you're going to win like 41% of the time, being realistic. Same thing for Asian session. Now, for another New York

18:47

Speaker A

session, this is a sort of a bad New York session. You have a bunch of consolidation, then take a continuation trade on the opening candle, break of structure, and then this one would not have won, barely, but that's okay, just

18:58

Speaker A

following the bias. After that, looking for displacement entry right there. That one would have lost. Another displacement entry right here, and then another one would be right here, and then the final one of of session would be here. Or not this session, final one

19:12

Speaker A

of this move up, and you lose one, two, three, four, five. So, you lost five, but no need to worry. As soon as it's trending in your favor, break of structure one, displacement number two, break of structure number three, break

19:23

Speaker A

of structure number four. That one would have lost. Displacement, another displacement here, and then another one here.

19:29

Speaker A

And this is how you're getting through a bunch of evals. Break of structure here.

19:32

Speaker A

And then on this day, you're incredibly winning, right? Incredibly winning on a day like this. Because you lost five, and then you're going to win what? One, two, three, maybe lose this one, four, five, six, seven, eight. So, you won

19:43

Speaker A

eight, and you lost five, six, seven. So, you won above 50%, with a 1.5, which is incredibly profitable. Now, let me just go over another day, and then we'll wrap it up here. You have a fair price at the pre-news price. You have a

19:55

Speaker A

session open right here, and then you get a nice trade to start off the day, with a continuation. Enter another one at the close of the candle, two back-to-back wins to start the day. But, after that, here's where it got

20:04

Speaker A

interesting. This day specifically, it was basically not moving away from the fair price. So, trades were very hard to come by, if you were just doing the standard 38 25. Because this is a 1.5, right? It's 1.5 risk to reward, which I

20:16

Speaker A

tell you always do that. But, there's infinite possibilities of 1.5, right? Like I could put this at 50, this would be 75. So, infinite possibilities of 1.5 risk to reward. I could even size down, make it what? 12.5, and then this one

20:27

Speaker A

would be 19. So, there's a ton of different possibilities for a 1.5 risk to reward. So, on a day like this, where it's not making large enough moves, you have to take shorter trades, because it didn't move enough in your favor. But,

20:37

Speaker A

same entry criteria, displacement, break of structures, whatever. 19 points. If you have 19 points in your favor, towards a fair price, then just perfect trade, something like this, like this. Anytime it moves away, you get a nice green candle back towards it.

20:49

Speaker A

Basically getting a lot of volume on a non-volume heavy day. So, that is to show you how I can get such a large amount of trades in, because remember, 200 evals is definitely a lot. But, remember, it's per month, and you are

21:01

Speaker A

across a ton of firms. And remember, please be realistic with your win rate. You could even go check. Maybe you think you have a 50% win rate, go ask AI. I have a 50% win rate, this many trades a

21:09

Speaker A

day, this risk to reward, how much do I make in a year? It's going to tell you a huge number because your rate is unfortunately unrealistic. If your rate is realistic, it's not going to make you as much as you want. In that case,

21:18

Speaker A

you'll be like, "Oh, yeah, I should probably trade on prop firms if I'm able to get this amount of volume." So, this second part of the table over here is what I'm really looking for with prop firms, and then obviously looking to get

21:27

Speaker A

as many accounts as possible so that this small edge plays out across a ton of accounts and a ton of sim funded capital. So, this should be a pretty basic way to make 30k a month using the 50k funded accounts, using a mediocre

21:40

Speaker A

eval strategy combined with the same funded account new funded account strategy as the evals, and the same funded accounts in profit strategy as the evals. Like, basically zero optimizations. Should be a pretty easy 30k per month as long as you obviously

21:52

Speaker A

follow all of this. And if you don't have 20k to start, that's fine because it's the same exact EV from 2,000 to 6k, right? Like, it's the same expected value. You're just trading less accounts, right? So, same return, just

22:02

Speaker A

less accounts. If you have less accounts, then you could obviously take better setups. I'm trying to get through a bunch of accounts every day, so I'm taking these slightly lower quality setups. Obviously, the strategy would prefer you to have quite a quite a few

22:12

Speaker A

more confluences, but any small edge, a small edge of 1%. You're like, "That doesn't mean shit." Well, it's 32% pass rate. Like I said, I assume 1% more, but that small 1% edge is going to give me 30k a month on the 50k accounts. Then

22:23

Speaker A

imagine what I do if I go to 150k accounts, and then I add even more accounts and more prop firms, right? So, if you have less accounts, definitely take the stronger setups for my strategy or your strategy specifically, but

22:32

Speaker A

realistically, you're not going to get too many of those, uh which is why it's hard to scale them. That's why I take sort of these lower quality based on a bias with any entry criteria that would trigger for me specifically. So, that is

22:41

Speaker A

the entire structure. That is the math, the account stack math, and the strategy, but unfortunately, the math is the easy part. Simulating all of this is the easy part. You would have to replicate it in practice. That is what

22:52

Speaker A

my mentorship is based on. I tell you exactly which prop firms to use, which accounts to buy, how much to risk, what trades to take, all that sort of stuff, pretty well rounded. If you are interested in applying, there should be

23:01

Speaker A

a link in the description. If there is no link, then the mentorship is closed, but if there is I would love to have you. So, book a call at the link below and we could talk more about your

23:08

Speaker A

specific situation, see if it is a good fit. If not, thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next one.
