💰 Top Highlights:

- James shares how he’s stacked nearly $10K in instant funded payouts in his first month of using instant accounts across Top One Futures and CFDs. He discusses his strategy shift from overtrading and challenge accounts to copy trading three 150K Top One Futures accounts—aiming for long-term live funding.


- James reveals how hiring a performance coach (not a trading coach!) has leveled up his consistency, mindset, and business planning.


- James coached Peter, a West Coast trader, who wanted to make just $500/month. After a small red month in June, Peter cut his losing days and is now green in July, tracking toward his goal—a huge win for real-life traders.


- They unpack the pros and cons of instant funded vs. evaluation accounts, copy trading, and how most traders don’t keep accounts after payouts. “If you can’t make $500/month, what makes you think you can manage $50,000/month?” James says. Focus on building a solid base.


James talks about his goal on ASFXTV streams—helping traders actually take money out of the market. He streams every Tue–Thu at 10 a.m. EST.


Peter, Randy, Rebecca, Tanner, Dwayne, and others are crushing it. James and Austin shout out recent big payouts and key growth stories.
