The Secret Every New Futures Trader Needs to Know! Prop Firms, Payouts, & More!

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.
