Prop trading is booming in 2025… but it’s also messier than ever.
In this episode, I break down:
- The reality of the top firms and their business model
- The rule changes designed to stop both trader and firm scams
- Why payouts get refused (and how to avoid it)
- When prop trading makes sense… and when you’re better off going solo
Whether you’re thinking of taking your first challenge or you’ve been trading prop for years, this is the no-BS take you need before risking another penny.
