    $34,000 in 30 Days: The Case for Negative R/R with Zach Arbucci

    Zach returns after shattering his ceiling: $34K in prop-firm payouts in one month. He explains the flip that did it—moving from high-R/low-win models to negative risk-reward scalping on NQ (5–10 points, limit entries, fewer trades). We dig into how prop rules shape strategy, why high win-rate models fit prop better, platform preferences (Tradeovate vs Project X), Topstep for quick payouts vs bigger buffers on Tradeify, and the real cadence of payouts (they arrive in waves). Zack also shares his counter-intuitive risk curve (start aggressive to build buffer, then size down), how teaching his course sharpened his edge, and practical budgeting so hot streaks become income—not lifestyle creep.

    Quitting Corporate to go ALL IN as a Futures Trader with Josh Wills

    In this episode, I sit down with Josh, a recent Black Shirt Club graduate who’s gone all-in on trading. After leaving his corporate job in London, moving back to Cambridge, and becoming a new dad, Josh committed fully to the markets. He shares what it’s been like transitioning from steady paychecks to relying on prop firm payouts, how he handled the pressure of trading as his sole income, and the mindset shift that changed everything. We dig into trade management, why going “all in, all out” helped him improve consistency, and how backtesting on Tradezella built his confidence. Josh breaks down his approach with VWAP, account sizing, and risk management, while also sharing hard-earned lessons on detaching from emotions, sticking to one strategy, and finding strength in community. If you’re navigating the move from part-time to full-time trading—or you just want to hear the real behind-the-scenes of a trader building his career—this conversation is packed with insight.

    From Ibiza DJ Booths to $10,000 Months Trading — FlowZoneTrader's Journey

    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.
