In this class, you'll learn how to trade using proprietary (prop) trading firms—companies that provide funded accounts so you can trade with their capital instead of risking your own money. Discover how traders pass evaluation challenges, access accounts worth thousands (or more), and keep up to 80-90% of the profits while following strict risk rules. We'll cover the fundamentals of trading stocks, futures, forex, or other markets, including: Technical analysis and chart reading Developing and backtesting trading strategies Understanding market psychology and economic news. But this isn't just about trading—it's about building skills that will serve you for life. You'll practice: Discipline and emotional control — Staying calm during "losing streaks" (just like handling setbacks in sports, school, or career) Risk management — Never risking more than you can afford to lose, a principle that applies to money, time, and big life decisions Patience and consistency — Waiting for the right opportunity instead of chasing every trend, which builds better habits for studying, goal-setting, and long-term success Decision-making under pressure — Analyzing data quickly, sticking to a plan, and learning from mistakes without letting emotions take over Journaling and self-reflection — Tracking your trades (and your thought process) to improve performance, a powerful tool for personal growth in any field Through simulations, prop firm challenge practice, group discussions, and real-time market activities, you'll gain confidence in handling uncertainty, managing resources wisely, and thinking like an entrepreneur. Whether you dream of a career in finance, want to build wealth independently, or simply need stronger life skills for whatever path you choose, this class equips you with practical tools and a winning mindset. No prior experience required—just curiosity, a growth mindset, and willingness to learn from both wins and losses. Let's turn market knowledge into lifelong advantage. Parents are welcome to sit in and learn along!
