The Day Trading Show

In this episode, Austin sits down with TraderMayne — a decade-deep crypto OG, trader, and co-founder of Breakout Prop — to break down the evolution of crypto, the rise of crypto prop firms, and what it really takes to survive hyper-speed market cycles. They dive into Bitcoin’s institutional takeover, why altcoins can still explode while majors chop, and how tokenization is about to reshape everything. TraderMayne also gives a behind-the-scenes look at building Breakout Prop from launch to acquisition by Kraken in just 19 months — including the challenges of running a prop firm, managing risk during bull cycles, and why reputation is the ultimate differentiator. They unpack A-booking, paying seven-figure months to traders, and why crypto prop is becoming the gateway for everyday traders entering the space. If you want a raw, inside look at crypto markets, prop trading, and building real businesses in a noisy industry, this is one of the most valuable conversations you’ll hear.

In this episode, Austin sits down with Mike from Trader Post to unpack automation, prop firm scaling, and the future of retail trading tech. Mike shares his wild early-crypto story — including holding nearly 1,000 Bitcoin during the 2013–2014 era — and how that journey led him from valuation investing, to arbitrage, to building automated mean-reversion and trend-following systems. He explains how Trader Post became the “Zapier of trading,” letting traders fire one signal and execute across dozens of accounts, brokers, and asset classes simultaneously. The two dive deep into the prop-firm boom, how automation fits into scaling, and why risk management matters more than any strategy.

Mike breaks down the biggest mistakes he sees retail traders make, how to know if you’re a trend or mean-reversion trader, and why most people fail because they rush instead of collecting real data. They wrap with insights on diversification, long-term portfolio building, and why the next decade of trading will reward those who embrace technology, automation, and disciplined execution.

In this episode, Austin reunites with Trader Nick for a wide-ranging conversation about Bitcoin, AI, and the markets. They open with the viral theory that Bitcoin could have been a U.S. government creation, exploring how control and transparency intersect in crypto. The two then debate the growing AI bubble — whether it’s overhyped, how it might replace jobs, and if universal basic income could become necessary as automation accelerates. Nick shares how he’s up 28% in 2025 by staying bullish on gold and equities, ignoring political noise, and focusing on macro data over headlines. He explains why bubbles often last longer than expected, comparing the AI boom to the dot-com era, and how discipline, not emotion, has helped him outperform the market. They wrap up with thoughts on prop firms — Austin calling them “the Ozempic of trading” — and the habits traders need to build beneath the surface. Nick also gives an update on his A1 Trading software, which helps traders analyze macro trends across markets. The episode closes with both agreeing that for now, it still pays to “stay with what’s working” until the data says otherwise.Connect with Nick -  @A1Trading   @TraderNick  Sponsor: Top One Futures Link: ⁠https://www.asfx.biz/tof⁠ Code: ASFX for 50% off Sponsor: Tradezella Link: ⁠https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx⁠ Code ASFX for 20% off Level Up Your Trading with ASFX — Free Futures Course Start learning the basics with Futures 101 ⁠https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/categories/Futures101⁠ — Custom VWAP Indicator ️Get the exact tool I use to find high-probability setups! ⁠https://www.luxalgo.com/asfx⁠ — Join My Live Trading Streams Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!

In this episode, Austin sits down with Matt Owen, a former serviceman turned full-time futures trader and founder of Flipping Futures. Matt shares his nine-year journey from crypto and options to mastering order flow on the ES, explaining why resilience, discipline, and risk management matter more than any “get-rich-quick” prop firm pitch. He breaks down how he uses volume profile and order flow for razor-sharp precision and why most traders fail because they treat prop accounts like demo money instead of building good habits with real capital. Together, Austin and Matt dive deep into the mindset of a true professional — focusing on process over outcome, developing repeatability, and learning to win slow. It’s a raw, honest conversation about what trading really demands and how to survive long enough to succeed.
