Finding EDGE In Markets & Health With Aaron Luce
<p>In this episode, Austin interviews Aaron, a seven-year trading veteran known for his consistency, liquidity-based strategy, and long-standing relationship with Topstep. Aaron shares how he went from blowing his first account following hype signals to developing a disciplined, reactive trading approach focused on simple liquidity levels and quality over quantity. He emphasizes that consistency is not about winning every day—it’s about being a good loser, eliminating low-quality trades, aiming for repeatable $100–$200 days before scaling, and avoiding the emotional spiral that wipes out weeks of progress.</p><p><br /></p><p>💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance</p><p>💰 Use code ASFX...
Prop Trading's Dirty Secret: The Monopoly
<p>In this episode, Austin and KV break down the chaos surrounding ProjectX pulling out of nearly every futures prop firm, leaving Tradeovate/NinjaTrader — now under Kraken — as the dominant platform.
