How Fast Could You Earn $100K From Prop ...

Austin Silver
About this episode

In this Home Team episode of The Day Trading Show, James Bruce and Evan Dyer join me to break down how one of our students just had a $113,000 day trading with prop firms. We unpack exactly what led to that kind of result — from smart account scaling to clean VWAP-based execution and total detachment from the P&L.

We also dive into the mindset differences between traders just getting started and those taking consistent payouts, plus how to build confidence, avoid overtrading, and actually treat this like a business. You’ll hear us share real wins, real losses, and the behind-the-scenes of trading funded accounts at scale.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Home Team episode without a little trash talk and debate — we get into which sport produces the best athletes (spoiler: it’s not basketball), and kick around ideas for a future Europe or South Africa content trip.
