Why this one is different

Most prop “courses” sell you a dream. This one hands you the map.

The usual prop course

Sells a “secret strategy” that prints
Promises payouts, life-changing income
Pushes the highest-paying affiliate link as “the best”
Never tells you which firm to avoid
Hype on the way in, silence on the way out

This course

Teaches the process — no strategy, no signals
Promises nothing; explains how it really works
Tells you which firms I’d skip, and why
Discloses every commission, up front
Built around the part that matters: getting paid

By the end, you’ll be able to

◆Read any firm’s rules and spot the trap before you pay — trailing drawdown, consistency caps, the fine print.
◆Pick a firm that actually pays using two questions instead of the loudest discount.
◆Pass the eval like a risk test, not a gamble — and know the exact sizing math.
◆Get your money out — how payouts really work, and what to do if one stalls.
◆Smell a scam firm in five minutes with a scorable red-flag checklist.
◆Stop re-buying failed attempts — the single most expensive habit in prop trading.

Who’s teaching this

I test prop firms with my own money — and show what actually happens.

I’m not a guru with a course to push. Proptradingvibes is built on real, own-money tested accounts: real evals, real payout attempts, real friction, and the firms I’d quietly walk past. This course is that experience, distilled — minus the parts that would sell you a dream.

Real-money tested — not theory, not screenshots from someone else
Affiliate-disclosed — I earn on some links and still name who to skip
Process over promises — there’s no income claim anywhere in here

Straight answers

Before you start

Is it actually free?

Yes. Drop your email to unlock every module — no payment, no card, no trial. The email is so I can send rule-change alerts and new payout intel; you can leave any time.

Will you teach me a trading strategy?

No — and that’s on purpose. This is the honest process of getting funded and getting paid: choosing firms, reading rules, eval discipline, and getting your money out. The “learn my secret setup” lane is crowded and mostly noise. This is the part nobody teaches.

Are you just trying to sell me a prop firm?

Proptradingvibes earns a commission if you sign up to some firms through our links — and I’ll still tell you which firms to skip, even when skipping them costs me. That’s the whole point of the site.

Do I need experience?

No. Module 0 starts from “what a prop firm even is.” If you’ve already traded a few evals, skip ahead — Module 2 (the rules) is where most experienced traders still lose money.

How long does it take?

8 modules, 26 short lessons. Read it in an afternoon, or one module at a time. Module 0 is open right now — no email needed.
