From Ibiza DJ Booths to $10,000 Months T...

Austin Silver
About this episode

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.
