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.Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tof Code: ASFX for 55% off Sponsor: TradezellaLink: 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!💥 Use code ASFX for 50% OFF your first month🔗 https://asfxtv.uscreen.io/catalog—🏆 Prop Firm Discounts – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → https://www.asfx.biz/tof   🔗 Take Profit Trader → https://www.asfx.biz/tpt — 🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx —🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 https://bookmap.com/members/aff/go/thesilverinvestm?i=144

This episode features a deep dive into trading psychology, strategy, and lifestyle with JP from JPO Capital.

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.Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tof Code: ASFX Sponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfx Code: ASFX for 20% offHe talks about the dangers of strategy-hopping and how consistency and backtesting built his edge.
