To the trader still figuring it out.
I've been paid from trading before.
And I want to get paid again.
But I still need to eat
while I'm figuring this thing out.
You probably do too.
So please, don't stop learning
how to make money outside trading
because you want to trade full time.
Learn a skill.
Find people who need it.
Do the work and get paid.
Some of that money can support your trading.
You don't have to put everything
you earn into challenges.
And keep doing the trading work too:
- Backtest your strategy
- Review your trades
- Work on following your rules
That's what I'm doing now.
I've gone back to three $6K challenges
to test what I've been working on.
I want one payout before the year ends.
I'm still learning. I'm still trying.
I pray we get there.

700 of you here now.
you probably met me in the replies
arguing about trading
or asking how you got your first client.
i’m justice.
i’m a product manager and i swing trade.
i used to write on linkedin.
i got to over 9,000 followers there.
i’ve received over $7k in prop firm payouts.
i failed 24 challenges.
two of those i paid for and never even traded.
i went through 8 months of back-to-back losses.
so i went back to demo, backtested
and got my rules together again.
now i’m trading three $6k challenges.
i want one payout before the year ends.
i believe you should learn how to make money
while you’re still learning to trade.
my salary paid for my challenges.
i could take a loss and still eat.
i also believe there’s a lot more
you could be doing with AI than you think.
i use it to talk through my trades
before they go into notion,
and to figure out which replies
are bringing people to this page.
so you’ll see me talk about
• the trades i take and how i manage them
• how to get paid for a skill you have
• how i use AI for work and trading
• what i’m trying as i grow on X
and you’ll see me talk about God too.
i’ve tried a lot of things
and failed at plenty of them.
my identity is in God.
that’s how i ground myself through all of it.
if we’ve never spoken, come say hi.
tell me what you do.

One Payout Before the Year Ends
I was once funded with over $175K.
Now I’m in week 2 of three $6K FundedNext challenges.
I'm 8 months into a losing streak.
I didn’t have a rule for when to stop and look at what was going wrong.
Last weekend a performance coach gave me a simple rule.
3 losses in a row?
Stop and check what’s going on.
I’ve spent weeks on a demo account, backtested my setups and worked on how I manage trades.
Now I want to see if I can actually follow my rules and manage my trades on a challenge.
I picked $6K challenges because I wanted 3 accounts I could rotate.
I wanted to trade them without getting too emotional every time I won or lost.
One trade idea on one account.
Win or lose, the next idea goes on the next account.
I want to get funded and get paid before the end of the year.
I’ll keep a record here as I go.
I want to be able to come back and see where each account stood, what I did and what I thought about it after I went over the trades.

My parents always told me the path to success was pretty straightforward. Get a great degree, land a corporate job, climb the ladder for 40+ years, and maybe 1 day you'll become CEO.
And don't get me wrong, I always wanted to be the CEO part...but waiting 40 years to get there??? Are you kidding me? I'm going to have grey hair and wrinkles by then.
I was/am a youngin. I wanted to build something now. I wanted to make an impact while I was young, not wait until I was 60 years old to finally start living the life I'd been working toward.
So, the summer of my sophomore year of college, I did what I was supposed to do. Landed an internship at a Fortune 500 company, showed up every morning, did my work, collected my paycheck, the whole nine yards, etc, etc, etc.
And man, I was MISERABLE. I dreaded waking up each morning and clocking in and out of my job.
I was super thankful for the opportunity and for my boss, but the work didn't match my personality at all. I'd come home every afternoon and tell my parents the same thing. There's absolutely no way I'm doing this for the next 40+ years.
but there's a catch...
every day I'd get home around 5PM, open my laptop, and work until 1AM on an e-commerce business I was helping build. I was basically working a second shift, except this was the work I actually looked forward to doing. Fast forward, over the next year and a half, we went from 5 figures to 6 figures a month and eventually built a 7 figure business.
I don't say that to boost my ego. I say it because I was literally sitting in a corporate office during the day, wondering if this was what the next four decades of my life were supposed to look like, while simultaneously helping build something that would completely change my perspective on what was possible.
The business also ended up helping my trading more than I ever expected. It was a mutually beneficial relationship:) because having income outside the market meant I didn't have to force trades to pay my bills. I could sit through drawdowns, take a few weeks off when conditions were doo doo, and actually wait for my setups instead of treating every trade like my rent depended on it.
...but something else happened along the way that I wasn't expecting.
There was always another goal, number, and another milestone. I spent so much time chasing what I thought success looked like, only to realize that no amount of $$ was ever going to satisfy that hunger in me. My faith has taught me that my identity and purpose have to be rooted in something a heck of a lot bigger than my bank account (think bigger).
and that's a huge reason I continue sharing my journey on here. The wins, the losses, the stupid mistakes, the lessons I'm still trying to figure out.
I am nowhere near perfect.
I take more Ls than Ws in life.
I'm 22 years old. I've got a lot to learn, and Lord willing, a whole lot of life left to live...but one thing I wish more people understood, especially my generation, is that you don't need someone's permission to start building something meaningful.
And to the older folks, business owners + CEOs reading this, don't underestimate someone just because they're young. Some of the most driven, talented people I've met are barely old enough to rent a car.
I'm not saying everyone should quit their job tomorrow and start a business. Heck, there's absolutely nothing wrong with building a career in corporate America if that's what you're called to do. I'm saying don't spend the next 40 years convincing yourself that you have to wait for a title, a certain salary or somebody else's approval before you can make an impact.
start that little project, learn the high income skill, reach out to the person you admire, build something after work, and fail as much as possible + learn and try again.
You'd be surprised how much can change in a year or two when you stop waiting for the perfect opportunity and start doing something with the one you've already got.
You don't have to wait 40 years to start making a difference, and you sure don't need to be a CEO to do it.
Spitballin' what I'm currently wrestling with, thanks for coming to my TED Talk!
