Alex went from touring the world as half of the hit UK DJ duo Tough Love to becoming a full-time futures trader and educator. When COVID shut down his music career, he pivoted from small-cap short selling into futures, developing his “Flowzone” strategy — a system built on EMAs, anchored VWAPs, volume profile, and tape reading with Bookmap. He primarily trades NQ during New York mornings, focusing on location and momentum to find high-probability entries and moving stops to breakeven quickly when momentum confirms.

Alex’s advice for consistent payouts: master one setup, trade small to learn firm rules, and avoid leaderboard-chasing mentality. He stresses that traders need to understand market conditions, keep their timeline realistic, and protect both financial and time freedom. Trading is as much psychological warfare against yourself as it is against the market. Social media can push traders to overtrade, so stay process-driven, not outcome-driven.

💰 Top Highlights:

- James shares how he’s stacked nearly $10K in instant funded payouts in his first month of using instant accounts across Top One Futures and CFDs. He discusses his strategy shift from overtrading and challenge accounts to copy trading three 150K Top One Futures accounts—aiming for long-term live funding.

- James reveals how hiring a performance coach (not a trading coach!) has leveled up his consistency, mindset, and business planning.

- James coached Peter, a West Coast trader, who wanted to make just $500/month. After a small red month in June, Peter cut his losing days and is now green in July, tracking toward his goal—a huge win for real-life traders.

- They unpack the pros and cons of instant funded vs. evaluation accounts, copy trading, and how most traders don’t keep accounts after payouts. “If you can’t make $500/month, what makes you think you can manage $50,000/month?” James says. Focus on building a solid base.

James talks about his goal on ASFXTV streams—helping traders actually take money out of the market. He streams every Tue–Thu at 10 a.m. EST.

Peter, Randy, Rebecca, Tanner, Dwayne, and others are crushing it. James and Austin shout out recent big payouts and key growth stories.

Chris shares the real story behind his $250K win in small caps, how a brutal $25K loss forced him to rethink risk, and why prop firms like Top One Futures became the path to long-term consistency.

We go deep on:

Building his VWAP Wave System and how it simplifies trade selection

Why most traders stay stuck in the “almost phase” and how to get through it

His favorite risk tactic: build a cushion, then size up

How streaming his trades daily made him more accountable — and more profitable

The underrated role of fitness, family, and self-discipline in trading success

Whether you're trading one account or managing multiple funded accounts, Chris’s story will remind you what it really takes to survive this game: discipline, patience, and a system you trust.

Jen talks about her trading routine, strategy, the importance of small wins, managing 7 Top One PRO accounts, and how hiring a trading therapist helped her regain control over her mindset.

This episode is full of real talk on prop firms, trading psychology, scaling copy trading, being a woman in a male-dominated space, and the emotional toll of balancing parenting with trading.

This episode features a deep dive into trading psychology, strategy, and lifestyle with JP from JPO Capital. He discusses how taking partial profits in 2023 was the turning point from break-even to profitable. He emphasizes the importance of trading as a scalable side income, not as an all-or-nothing career, especially for those with families or financial responsibilities. JP shares that he trades both prop and personal accounts, sticks to three instruments (gold, oil, euro), and avoids overtrading by capping himself at three trades a day.

He talks about the dangers of strategy-hopping and how consistency and backtesting built his edge. Risk management, discipline, and taking breaks are key themes. JP also explains why he doesn't dynamically size trades—he prefers fixed risk, trusting data over feelings. He highlights revenge trading as his biggest flaw and shares how he avoids burnout with structured time off.

The conversation also critiques social media's "go all in" trading culture, discusses prop firms, and why trading personal capital may be better long-term. They explore gold's bullishness, mean reversion strategy, order flow, and even asteroid mining for gold. The episode closes with predictions for gold and equity markets and a shared appreciation for trader Burns Skurupinski’s macro approach.

In this Home Team episode of The Day Trading Show, James Bruce and Evan Dyer join me to break down how one of our students just had a $113,000 day trading with prop firms. We unpack exactly what led to that kind of result — from smart account scaling to clean VWAP-based execution and total detachment from the P&L.

We also dive into the mindset differences between traders just getting started and those taking consistent payouts, plus how to build confidence, avoid overtrading, and actually treat this like a business. You’ll hear us share real wins, real losses, and the behind-the-scenes of trading funded accounts at scale.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Home Team episode without a little trash talk and debate — we get into which sport produces the best athletes (spoiler: it’s not basketball), and kick around ideas for a future Europe or South Africa content trip.

In this episode of The Day Trading Show, Austin Silver sits down with prop firm traders Thomas Kello and Randy Bains to unpack their journeys to consistent payouts, the importance of mindset over strategy, and how to navigate the noisy world of prop trading.

They discuss the power of detachment from P&L, avoiding scarcity-driven trading, and the value of returning to what works instead of chasing shiny new challenges. The conversation also dives into managing multiple funded accounts, mastering the VWAP, and building simple, repeatable trading rules.

Plus, they introduce their new podcast, Behind the Charts, focused on real trader conversations beyond surface-level education.
