Trading Strategy Won't Make You Profitable... THIS Will!
On The Day Trading Show, Austin Silver breaks down what actually drives sustainable success heading into 2026: capital protection, consistent execution, and building a professional trading mindset. The conversation centers on how disciplined VWAP-based trading, proper risk management, and repeatable routines create long-term consistency — especially for traders operating inside modern prop firm environments.Sponsor: 📊 Prop Firm Match 🧠 Objectively compare prop firms by rules, drawdown, payouts, and scalability💰 Use code MATCH to save with any firm listed🔗 https://www.propfirmmatch.com/?a_aid=asfx Randy’s evolution highlights the process in action. One year ago he had zero payouts. Today, he’s stacking consistent prop firm payouts by tightening his daily habits, eliminating emotional decision-making, and surrounding himself with high-accountability traders. The edge wasn’t a new indicator or flashy strategy — it was structure, confidence, and execution discipline compounding over time.The discussion also explores how today’s prop firms are reshaping trader behavior. With fewer artificial constraints, faster payout cycles, and scalable account structures, traders can focus on process instead of chasing profit targets. VWAP itself is simple; mastery comes from patience, sizing, decision quality, and emotional control.🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/futures101 🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/First🏆 Prop Firms – 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://www.asfx.biz/TZ 🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/bookmap 💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance💰 Use code ASFX for a discount🔗 https://www.edge.shop/ASFX

Why Most Traders Lose at VWAP (Brian Shannon Breaks It Down)
In this video, Austin Silver sits down with Brian Shannon for Part Four of their VWAP series ahead of Brian’s keynote at the Futures Bootcamp in May. We dive deep into a powerful trading strategy focused on reacting to market movement rather than forecasting — a core principle of using the VWAP indicator effectively in day trading strategies.Brian explains why he’s not interested in “buying the touch,” but instead prefers to “buy the bounce,” waiting for confirmation that a VWAP level is holding. They break down time frame trading across the 2-minute, 15-minute, and daily charts, showing how the same approach applies to beginners and experienced traders alike. What separates consistent traders is risk management, execution, and operating without needing certainty.The episode includes live trade examples, including Brian’s Qualcomm trade management and Austin’s ES execution, plus common trap setups around VWAP and a critical mistake traders make when anchoring VWAP on the wrong instrument.

Millionaire Day Trader Reveals The Secret To Future Prop Firm Success
Ace (“Ace of Trades”) joins Austin to break down one of the most extreme prop firm success stories in futures trading. He walks through scaling from a $2,000 account to six and seven figures, including a stretch where he generated over $300,000 in prop firm payouts in a single month by running multiple funded accounts in parallel. Ace details his performance across major firms like Topstep and Top One Futures, discussing leaderboard runs, max payouts, clean months, and how copy trading allowed him to turn consistency into six-figure months rather than one-off wins.Sponsor: Breakout PropLink: https://www.breakoutprop.com/ Code: ASFX Sponsor: Top One FuturesLink: https://www.asfx.biz/tofCode: ASFX for 50% offSponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfxCode ASFX for 20% offThe core lesson is clear and highly relevant for YouTube traders searching prop firm strategies: risk management beats strategy. Ace explains his “overs” framework—overleveraging, overtrading, overanalysis, overconfidence—and why avoiding them is what led to repeated payouts, not indicators. He breaks down why straight-to-funded accounts, end-of-day drawdown rules, and scaling through copy trading are the most realistic path for traders who already have proof of concept. This episode focuses on real prop firm payouts, futures trading psychology, funded account scaling, and how traders actually make money with prop firms, not simulated P&L screenshots.Connect with Ace - https://x.com/AceOfTradesss🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/futures101 🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/First🏆 Prop Firms – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → https://www.asfx.biz/tof🔗 Take Profit Trader → https://www.asfx.biz/tpt🔗 BreakoutProp → https://www.asfx.biz/BOP🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/TZ 🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/bookmap 💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance💰 Use code ASFX for a discount🔗 https://www.edge.shop/ASFX

How To Become A Profitable Trader In 18 Months!
Most futures traders don’t fail because they lack a strategy—they fail because they’re trading alone, overtrading, and blowing prop firm accounts with zero discipline. In this episode, Randy breaks down his path from struggling futures trader to consistent prop firm payouts, why your first payout doesn’t mean you’re profitable, and why dry spells between payouts are normal in the prop firm game.We talk real futures trading—VWAP, discipline, boredom, ego, and why the goal isn’t trading all day, but extracting money from prop firms without self-sabotage. We cover budgeting for prop firm challenges, trading from abundance instead of scarcity, and why most traders never make it past this phase. If you’re trading futures, chasing payouts, or trying to pass prop firm evaluations without structure, this episode will reset how you think about trading.This is about losing less, staying funded, and building real time and financial freedom through futures trading—not screenshots.Sponsor: Breakout PropLink: https://www.breakoutprop.com/ Code: ASFX Sponsor: TradezellaLink: https://tradezella.com?fpr=asfxCode ASFX for 20% off🚀 Level Up Your Trading with ASFX 🎓 Free Futures Course🔥 Start learning the basics with Futures 101🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/futures101 🎥 Join My Live Trading Streams💬 Watch me trade LIVE every morning – breakdowns, setups, and strategy!🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/First 🏆 Prop Firms – Save Up to 50% with code ASFX🔗 Top One Futures → https://www.asfx.biz/tof🔗 Take Profit Trader → https://www.asfx.biz/tpt🔗 BreakoutProp → https://www.asfx.biz/BOP🧠 Master Your Stats with TradeZella💰 Use code ASFX for 20% off🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/TZ 🧱 Save on Bookmap🔍 See the order flow like never before🔗 https://www.asfx.biz/bookmap 💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance💰 Use code ASFX for a discount🔗 https://www.edge.shop/ASFX

Finding EDGE In Markets & Health With Aaron Luce
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.💊 Edge Supplements – Fuel Your Performance💰 Use code ASFX for a discount🔗 https://www.edge.shop/ASFXConnect with Aaron: https://www.instagram.com/aaron.trades/?hl=enAaron also discusses the launch of Edge Supplements, a new performance-focused nutrition line built specifically for traders to improve focus, energy, and recovery.

Prop Trading's Dirty Secret: The Monopoly
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.

The conversation also touches on crypto prop firms, payout economics, and whether a new ProjectX–style platform could realistically be built.Sponsor: Breakout PropLink: https://www.asfx.biz/BOPCode: ASFX Sponsor: BlackShirtClub Group CoachingLink: https://www.asfx.biz/bscThey then shift into trading psychology and why most traders quit long before they ever give themselves a real chance.
