The Trading Industry Is About to Change Forever After This

16 hours ahead in Melbourne. I don't

even know what's going on back on the

street.

>> What up? What up? What up?

[music]

Got ran over two times because the roads

ARE

>> This is the question that everybody

wants to know and the main reason why I

came here. When traders pass their

funded account and they are [music]

funded, are these traders actually being

backed with real funds or are they not?

[laughter]

>> [ __ ] man. Ladies and gentlemen, has it

been Oh, actually, no. I actually have a

really big superstition. I don't like

being in the room as soon as we just we

just got here from the airport. Let's go

over here. I don't like laying in the

bed right after the airport. We're all

dirty. We were with other people.

>> Yeah, we were with other people in

economy. Actually, you were in economy

[snorts] cuz it's your fault, bro. It

took us [ __ ] 3 days to get here, bro.

>> After missing two flights where I'm in

first class, we go on the only flight

that I have to be in economy.

>> Guys, let me explain to you what we're

doing right now in Australia. First of

all, beautiful view right now. It's

Dude, what day is it, bro? Dude, we left

the States Monday. It's Thursday.

[laughter]

>> Well, this is our beautiful view right

now of uh fog. Not much really not much

to see right now. But let me give you

guys a little bit of what has just gone

down. We left Jake Paul's ranch on

Sunday actually

>> and it's Thursday.

>> Seas on his drive to Atlanta where we I

got Seas $20,000 tickets to be in first

class to come to Australia. He decided

to take his time, listen to music, was

in his feelings, stopped gas, stopped

and ate a sandwich,

>> and we missed our flight. To be fair, I

told you this was the world's biggest

airport.

>> Uh-huh. Uh-huh. And you got lost four

times and we missed

>> the world's biggest airport.

>> And and and we missed our flight. I lost

$40,000 in our flights, right? No big

deal. Alex paid for it, right? Who gives

a [ __ ] Cool. No problem. No issue.

Sleep a day in Atlanta, wake up the next

day. We get on our first connecting

flight to go to LA. And then from LA, we

come to Melbourne. We get on the flight

cancelled,

nerfed. We're kind of missing the fact

that we went to Minianapolis.

>> Oh yeah, that's that's we got on like a

wrong flight, made it to a different

state, then from that state to the other

state. When we tried to go to LA the

second day, flight cancelled. There was

no hotels nearby, so we had to sleep in

the airport. Yeah, long story short, we

left Sunday and we just made it to

Melbourne Sunday. I mean, we made it

here Thursday. Dude, I don't even know

how I'm functioning right now. Moral of

the story is we are on a [ __ ]

mission. We are on a mission to find the

best prop firm for traders. And this is

almost like if it's almost like if the

Matrix doesn't want us to do this, bro.

They have Bro, it's taken us 4 days to

get here. Bro,

>> we literally missed our first flight by

2 minutes.

>> Missed our flight first flight by 2

minutes. Our second flight got cancelled

and our third flight we got sent to a

different state. Like, dude, what the

[ __ ] I say, "Oh, Alex, you're rich. Pay

for a jet." I thought about it. It was

like $300,000. Not the smartest

financial decision when you're

rebuilding a Bugatti, you're building a

compound and uh yeah, just just not

smart to do that. But I was this close.

If we would have missed our last flight,

I it was going down. But moral of the

story, we are here in Australia because

I am on a mission to find the the most

trustable, reliable prop firm. And I

feel like the the Matrix doesn't want me

to do that. I have been speaking to I

say dozens, but realistically like eight

different prop firms. And I've been

offered all different types of deals.

I've been offered six figure a months

with crazy commission. I've been offered

equity in different prop firms. I've

been offered the most creative formats

these different businesses have done in

order for me to get involved with them.

I have said no. I don't want to do this

for a personal gain. It all makes sense

now why all these other trading

influencers push five different prop

firms because they're making an extra 23

$400,000 a month, which is great for

them. I don't need an extra $2 $300,000

a month. Thankfully, I do very well in

what I do, but I really want a reliable

prop firm that I don't have to worry

about my traders trading on. I didn't

realize how profitable prop firms were

until the other day where I called out

what was it like 100,000 traders. I'm

like, if you could [ __ ] out trade me,

if you can out trade me, you got my

respect. [music] If you can't outrade

me,

respectfully, not respectfully, don't

[ __ ] talk about me. A lot of people

claim that they couldn't out trade me

because they have a lack of capital. And

I I got to thinking, I'm like, well,

that's very true. I've been so

disconnected from the value of a dollar

because I've just been trading my

personal money for so long. So, I didn't

really understand that a lot of traders

struggle to become profitable because

they have a lack of capital. They have

to either do very aggressive flips or

they're very restricted to the amount of

trades that they could take because of

these prop firms with these hidden rules

and just basically set out for you to

fail. So, I went on on the hunt, talked

to a bunch of different prop firms, and

I really had a top two, right? After

every other prop firm, I didn't care

about the money. What I cared about is

the actual prop firm process that goes

for the traders. I was left with two,

FTMO and ACAP. So, FTMO, great company,

has been around the longest, probably

the most replicable prop firm in the

industry, but they lack a lot of

modernized updates. They lack a lot of

community aspects. They lack a lot of

communication with the user, right?

Because you're just big, they're

corporate, they're just established,

right? When it comes to AAP, AAP has

custom day trader challenges. They have

actual community aspect in their events.

I have a full notepad of things. Like I

can't show you my Give me a second.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I

can't Can I show you what I got here?

Hold on. AAP actually has five

regulations. They're the only prop firm

that is connected with Trading View. So

you could trade on Trading View for the

prop firm. No hidden rules. They have

the exact same consistency rules as

FTMO. So basically the exact same

challenges. I like this one that they

are partnered with the largest bank in

the world, Chase. So all of your funds

are in a regulated bank. Depending on

the challenge that you get, you have a

free retry and you don't have to buy

another platform account. It's called

like a reset or something. Moral of the

story, they have a couple of more notes

that I wrote down here. And it really

made me be the most interested in

working with them to the point where

they're like, "Hey, why don't you just

come out to our office and you have a

chat with us? You can see our risk team.

You can see our reserves. You can see

our back end, and if you feel

comfortable, then you can work with us."

And I said, "You know what? No other

prop firm has offered me something like

this. They're all super shady. I never

talked to the founders directly. I'm

always talking to a project manager, a

COO, D. I'm never talking to the guys.

So, I am here. I traveled 26 hours,

technically like 72 hours [laughter]

to come meet these guys here in person.

I've never met other executives at this

level in the space. So, it's very cool.

I'm going to get a lot of insights.

We're going to see the back end of a lot

of things. So, that's what we're here to

do and uh bringing you guys through the

journey. And I feel like I'm getting

jetlagged now. Dude, when was the last

time we showered?

[laughter]

>> So, fun fact, there's actually nothing

to do in Melbourne.

>> Oh, super fun fact. I put all my guys on

a mission. And I'm like, "Yo, I want to

do something fun in Australia."

Everyone's like, "Dude, there's nothing

to do in Australia. It's winter."

>> I was talking to the lady next to me.

I'm like, "Yeah, I'm going to Melbourne

for the first time." She's like, "Why?"

[laughter]

>> I'm like, "What do you mean why?" She's

like, "There's nothing to do cuz it's

cold."

>> We'll find some We'll figure something

out.

>> At least we get to see penguins,

>> dude. Remember in Africa when the

penguin came up to me and almost grabbed

it?

>> Well, this time we got to grab the

penguin.

>> No, dude. I'm going to [ __ ] choke

this.

>> So, moral of the story, I am looking for

one of the best prop friends to work

with. I believe I have one of the best

strategies andmies right now. I'm

building my trading floor. So, I'm

hosting an event where traders are

coming to trade at my trading floor and

learn how to trade. But I didn't realize

that they lack capital. So, this is

where we're going to finalize this final

piece of uh the trading floor that we're

missing. It's almost like what's that

guy's name? Thanos. So, it's like you

got the trading floor, you have the

strategy, didn't have or you have the

broker, and then you don't have the prop

firm. So this is the the final ring.

>> One more. What could it be?

>> Oh, why Thanos has five.

>> Yeah.

>> Trading floor, strategy, broker, prop

firm

people, the traders.

>> I got to find some traders.

>> That's coming soon. So Oh, dude. Is are

these real? Oh, dude. This is nice.

Oh, dude. They're real. I mean, oh [ __ ]

that doesn't [ __ ] matter.

Dear Alex, welcome to the Ritz College

in Melbourne. May you

vin it. I mean, this is what you get,

bro. I paid $20,000 for this [ __ ] bro.

Bro, we already spent like 60 grand. We

haven't even been here for an hour.

Hopefully, this prop is not a scam.

Would have wasted a [laughter]

hopefully would have wasted a week of

our [ __ ] life, dude.

>> You couldn't find a closer prop firm,

>> dude. No, bro. Literally, no prop firms

have an office. No prop firms invited me

out to their space. No prop firms give a

[ __ ] about the traders, bro. All they

care about is sign up, 50% discount.

Give me your money. Give me your money.

100% discount, bro. 100% profit split,

bro. It's like, dude, chill. You know,

like what type of business are you

running, dude? This is an ugly ass gra.

>> Kind of funny, right? Cuz that is really

how the outside looks right now.

Cuz that that is kind of scary, bro. I'm

not going to lie. No one makes you just

want to stay at the top, you know.

[music]

>> All right, ladies and gentlemen, we are

less jetlagged. Our sleep is scheduled.

We're extremely late to our meeting. So,

we're on our way to AAP's office right

now. It's Friday. I hope there's still a

lot of people there right now. It's 2:00

in the afternoon. Did you know they had

a 100 employees or something like that?

>> Are you sure they're not overseas?

>> No. No. Like 100 employees just at this

office or No,

>> it has to be a really big office.

>> I don't know. Like I

>> we're going to need a lot of more rope

to interrogate them.

>> Yeah. I have a lot of very interesting

questions in inside of this right here.

Well, this is my notepad of all the

questions that I have to ask the CEO and

the team. I want to talk to the risk

team. I want to talk to the strategy

team and get to know the reality behind

the scenes of how they run the business.

Do they actually back traders? Do they

not? If they're so about helping

traders, why charge for a challenge?

Make that make sense. I think I know

why, but I want to hear from them. So,

we're going to try and not get lost here

as we go to the office and see what

they're about. 21 hours ago, I posted

that I was in Australia. And these stats

right here are out of the normal when it

comes to the type of engagement. There's

700 shares and 269 replies. This is only

20 hours ago, right? 20 hours ago, I

posted this one that I'm in Australia. I

had over 500 people tell me to meet them

in Australia. But it's like in the mix.

A

>> lot of Aussies,

>> dude.

I didn't know how that many Australians,

bro. But it's like a mix. It's between

Sydney and Melbourne. So, I might do a

meet and greet here in Melbourne

potentially just to meet the Aussies. I

don't really know. So, we're on our way

to the office and let's see what they're

about. If they actually have 100

employees, that'd be crazy. You know, I'

I've never really met an executive like

this in person. So, quite excited. But

you have talked to one.

>> Yeah. I mean, yeah, we've gone on dozens

of meetings for sure.

>> Yeah. Like the owner of

[ __ ] that guy.

>> Are we stuck? The Matrix doesn't want us

to meet these guys.

>> Hey,

>> what's up, man?

>> How are you?

>> Nice to meet you. Welcome to Melbourne.

Welcome to Australia.

>> Pleasure.

>> How you enjoying our beautiful winter so

far?

>> Uh, yeah, I know you told me it was

cold, but I didn't think it was this

cold.

>> I know. I tried to warn you. I tried to

warn you.

>> Yeah, our our trip here was quite

extensive for sure. We had a little bit

of a bumpy path.

>> I heard the team are super excited to

have you here.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're super pumped.

>> Is there any other tra come out here

like Everyone's been talking about it.

You are coming this way. Oh,

>> here we go.

>> Can't believe you have 100 employees.

>> I can't believe how big it is. I can't

believe the office, the facilities, the

size of the team.

>> How many to show you around?

>> How many guys do you have on the team?

>> I think we got about 150 here in the

office.

>> In this office?

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

>> And then we got teams in like Cyprus,

UK, Philippines,

>> Bulgaria. So, this is just

>> All right. Here we are. Level 37, my

friend.

>> All right. So, thank you very much. It's

>> actually my office. This is very nice.

This is our um this is our kitchen

breakout area.

>> This is where we do like monthly town

halls. We got next week we got a monthly

town hall. We do like all the updates,

all the all the sort of the team

anniversaries, news, etc. And then

obviously like breakout room, drinks on

a Friday, view of the city, view of the

water.

>> It's a pretty nice pretty nice place to

be.

>> You know how to play chess?

>> Definitely don't take it for granted.

Not very well. No,

>> I'm a very bad chess player.

>> I'm very good, actually.

>> Yeah, I'm very skilled.

>> He shits on my trading forum. [laughter]

>> No, we're pretty lucky. I'll show you

where the team is.

>> Still here.

>> Hello.

>> yeah. Our jet lag got us through.

>> Exactly. You can't you can't film this

wall. This is this is like all private

>> motivational quote wall. So if you want

to add in a motivational quote, feel

free to write something.

>> I I I could add a motivational

quotation.

>> You're

not cheating.

>> You're not trying. My handwriting is not

the best, you know, but [laughter]

>> nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

>> How are you?

>> Very well.

>> How's it going?

>> Alex,

>> pleasure. How are you?

>> Pleasure. Very good. These are our data

gurus. So these guys are like building

all our backend systems so that when

we're like analyzing trades in real

time, all the insights around pass rates

and payout rates and like which which

challenges are popular, which add-ons

are popular, all that all that stuff

we're getting in real time with

dashboards and

>> so you guys are responsible for the day

trader challenge. Is that you guys?

>> Yeah.

>> Y okay. Okay.

>> I have some questions for you guys

later. [laughter]

>> We're also responsible with some of the

automations helping with uh the report

on that and getting all the numbers for

for your revenue and then also all the

payouts. Okay, cool.

>> Yeah.

>> So, these guys these guys make our life

like 10 times 10 times [laughter]

easier. Otherwise, we're just like

scrambling in the dark,

>> I would imagine. Now,

>> and then and these guys kind of bring it

all.

>> So, you guys understand the challenges

more than anybody?

>> Well, we we we want to think so.

>> We want to think so, but like not the

rules in particular, but uh the data

side of it, how the orders work, life

cycle of an order, how account breaches,

but not the rules like how they breach

or

>> the rules is more technical.

>> Okay. the risk team there team

>> uh and the product team these guys are

more just looking at what's actually

happening

>> right so they don't really necessarily

know why it's happening just telling us

what's happening

>> so basically the data will be able to

help the product team and the risk team

their data and say what would happen if

we did if we change this you know what

would happen if we change the profit

split or the draw down from 8% to 9% or

9% to 8% that [music] say your pay

rate's going to go up by 3% or 4% or

something like that

>> okay

>> right so they kind of they kind of give

us all that data.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> So you guys make it you guys give the

data to the product team to let them

know if they could make it

>> correct

>> harder. Correct.

>> Exactly. Yeah.

>> So those guys give the information we

need to make the decisions about

product. Basically that's the

>> simple in in very simple terms. That's

what that these guys are helping us sort

of with the the insights the insights

that we need.

>> Raman Alex

pleasure pleasure. So these guys are

building the website like updates

>> front end of the website.

the chatbot, making sure that's current,

staying up to date with, and then just

dealing with stuff as it comes in,

of our like all of our systems, all

automated systems to track trades real

time.

>> Mhm.

>> Mhm.

>> My payout gets denied. Is this guy's

fault?

>> Okay, cool.

>> Exactly.

>> So, making sure traders aren't breaking

everyone's got the same rules and

conditions applying to them. And yeah,

>> this is my favorite room.

>> Oh, this is my favorite room in the

office. It's got a comfy couch.

welcome here.

>> Yeah. I did not expect you guys to have

this many people.

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> And that's the thing. It's like people

don't realize until they come here.

>> Yeah. Of course. [music]

>> Like the size of this business and like

the the strength and stability

>> of this business. And I think seeing is

believing, right?

>> For sure.

>> So,

>> even for me, I I thought it was AI until

I got here.

>> These people are real. And it's not just

the people here. Like we've got these

other offices as well. So it's a it's a

global team. So

>> and everybody here is W2 full-time 9 to5

or what what's the schedule?

>> Yeah. Yeah.

>> But they only work during the day or is

there like a team that comes at night as

well?

>> No. No. It's just the day. So people

office is empty.

>> But then our Bulgaria team is online

they work through to midnight. and also

London, UK, Cyprus. So, we got basically

>> I am responsible for asking questions.

These are the hard questions.

>> All right. I'm ready. I'm ready.

>> We're basically interrogating you.

>> Yeah.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah. So, we're going to Don't Don't

mind these questions.

>> Okay. So first question is what type of

regulations do you guys have and how

does this benefit the trader in [music]

any way like what do these regulations

do?

>> Perfect. So what these regulations mean

AAB is globally regulated and it's a

globally trusted brand. AAP's globally

regulated by ASICH in Australia, FCA in

the UK and SCIC [music] in the EU. We're

we're governed by those rules. Our

traders get the benefit of that trust

and the credibility that brings. So

basically you guys have to report to

these regulators like once a month for

>> everything that we do as a business is

governed by the rules of those

regulators.

>> Okay. [music]

>> So

>> so if you guys do something unethical or

something wrong, the regulators come

after you guys for whatever reason.

>> Yeah.

>> Correct. Everything's got to be kosher.

>> All right. Next [music] question. Is AAP

Challenges really the only prop firm

that has Trading View as a trading

option?

>> Yeah, we are super excited about Trading

View. Um, and we've just we've [music]

just integrated Trading View with Adap.

We're the only CFD prop firm that offers

Trading View as a direct integration,

which means you come to checkout, you

want to use Trading View, all you do,

you just select Trading View and you

directly integrate it with your through

the AAP tile on Trading View and away

you go.

>> Also, you don't have to go through

MetaTrader, Trade Locker, none of that.

>> No, just direct on Trading View using

the AAP tile. We're directly integrated

and there's nothing else you need to do.

>> Pretty cool.

>> The only prop firm CFD that has that.

Perfect.

>> All right. This next question is very

common nowadays in the industry. I was

not familiar with this, but there's

something called hidden rules.

How many hidden rules do you have? And

what are your exact rules as to why

somebody wouldn't get a payout?

>> Sure. Hidden rules.

>> Yeah.

>> We don't have hidden rules,

>> right?

>> No.

>> I mean, we have rules. Yeah,

>> we have rules, don't get me wrong, but

they're not hidden. I want people to

know what they're actually buying. All

our rules could actually fit on one

page.

>> Can we see Can we Can we see that?

>> Let's print it out.

>> Okay. Um, but it's very simple. Like our

rules are on our website and our FAQs.

Our chatbot has the rules. Like we have

a rules and conditions document which

has like everything. But it's ultimately

is very simple.

>> There you go.

>> Awesome. Thank you. This is literally

this is our rules on a page,

>> right? If if a trader looks at this and

and follows this, they're going to get

paid.

>> Okay. Can I see these rules?

>> So this is every single rule that you

guys have.

>> Yeah. Summarized version, but yeah.

Okay. Profit distribution. No single

trading day profit can exceed 30% or 35%

[music]

of the total reduced profit. Why?

>> Profit distribution basically just means

you can't fluke. You can't just luck

your way into one big trading [music]

day. We actually want to test and prove

that traders are skillful.

>> So this is basically to avoid people

that come in

>> one lucky trade,

>> make a big profit and then that's it.

>> But they haven't actually proven any

skill.

>> Okay, fair enough.

>> Minimum trading days pretty standard.

>> Yeah. payouts. So up to 90% profit share

profit cap 5% on one phase, 10% on two

phase. What is this [music] profit cap?

>> It's consistent with the same principles

around building consistency, discipline,

maintaining your risk profile. This rule

eliminates [music] the incentive for

people to go and do like massive

gambling trades. So, so

>> question right if if I go and I [music]

take a 2% risk on a trade

>> and I catch a 1 to4 risk-to-reward

>> that's essentially going to be past that

[music] 5% on the one stage that means I

would fail I'd be breaching a rule

essentially

>> you wouldn't fail you'll just be

basically we we'd cap the amount that

you can make on a day

>> right

>> but there's nothing to stop you get your

5%

>> okay

>> and then you get your account reset and

then you go again

>> okay

>> right so once you pass Yeah.

>> And you get your payout,

>> your account gets reset and you you're

free to trade again. We want you to go

again.

>> I can make more than 5%.

>> But if I were to make more than that, I

don't get paid more. I don't

>> Correct. Correct.

>> You get Correct.

>> So, so then I just get reset back to the

starting balance.

>> Yeah. Okay.

>> Yeah. Yeah. So, that's it.

>> Okay. So, my account doesn't get

>> breached. I just start back

>> stop.

And that's to enforce consistency

>> and to build discipline,

>> risk, manage risk, manage good behavior.

>> Fair enough.

>> Yeah.

>> I mean, news trading, I could assume

basically it's because you I want to

avoid people just punting basically.

>> Correct. Very.

>> Yeah. Pretty standard. 10 minutes.

>> Okay. So, you have here permitted

strategies, scalping, swing trading,

EAS, weekend trading. So, yeah,

>> everything outside of this is not

allowed.

>> Correct.

>> Wait, so you guys allow HFT?

>> We allow HFT. We allow EAS. We allow

scalping. We allow swing trading

>> and day trading

>> and weekend trading. You trade over the

weekend.

>> So then these are your restricted

trading strategies.

>> So you don't have

>> money grid trading copy trading is a no

no.

>> Mhm.

>> Account management. You can't give I

can't give my account to you and say

Alex, can you manage my account?

>> Okay. But let's say if I have a 100k

account and a 50k account, I can't copy

trade. Or can I just ask you

>> copy trade yourself?

>> Right. You can copy trade your own your

own account as much as you want. Go go

go for your life. You can't be trading

for somebody else. Right. So, we can't

have you impersonating other people.

>> Is that it?

>> That's it.

>> That's it. There's nothing else. So, if

they break any of these rules, they will

have to start again.

>> Correct. Or they'll have their account

breached, right? They'll either be reset

back to the beginning. So, some of these

are a soft breach, some of them are hard

breach. Soft breach basically means you

don't lose your account, but your

account will get reset back to the

beginning and you'll get a warning. So

essentially it's like a yellow card and

then a hard bridge like a red card your

account you lose your account it's a

it's a no for people who really want to

get into the detail we have actually

have a document that like a like a legal

document that has everything written out

so people are welcome to read that we

want people to read the rules take the

time to read the rules right familiarize

yourself and then trade

>> so outside of this there's no hidden

rules

>> nothing sneaky

>> nothing sneaky

>> nothing sneaky [music]

>> so if everybody follows these rules you

essentially guarantee they're going to

get a payout

>> if people pass the challenges

legitimately and they haven't broken

[music] the rules, we want to pay them

out. That's the whole point.

>> So, as long as they don't break these

rules, it's a guaranteed payout,

>> right?

>> I mean,

>> yeah,

>> it's not it's very simple in my opinion.

Okay, cool.

>> Next question. This is the question that

everybody wants to know and the main

reason why I came here. When traders

pass their funded account and they are

funded, are these traders actually being

backed with real funds or are they not?

Are you paying people out out of the

signup money or is there real backing

behind these traders?

>> The traders who are operating in in the

payout stage are 100% operating in live

market conditions. But are we are we

backing their trades one for one, right,

in real time? No. But what we are doing,

we've got thousands of traders in the

live conditions and [music] we're

aggregating that data. We're looking at

data from a risk point of view. We got a

risk team that I introduced you to

before and they are hedging that based

on based on the data that's happening,

based on the trades that are happening.

They're hedging that data in real time

and [music] developing a quantum

strategy around that that we're actually

making profit on that from a aggregate

point of view.

>> Okay. So, for example, let's say I just

got funded on a two-step challenge. I

have 50K funded account. I put 10 lots

on gold, right? Like I click buy on

gold, whatever. Is that trade being

backed exactly as I just placed it on

that account?

>> No, it's not. But we have thousands of

traders as I said in aggregate making

those trades.

>> Okay.

>> Right. So, we can use that data to

actually assess what's happening at an

aggregate scale and supply strategies to

to make money from that.

>> Okay. So, so you don't make money

exactly off of each trader, but it's the

accumulation of all these traders that

lead you

>> to be able to make your own decisions as

to Okay. Correct. So you're not directly

making money from your from your trade,

but indirectly we are.

>> Okay.

>> Yeah.

>> So yeah. So you still technically need

those traders to take trades for the

business to function and for you guys to

have an edge basically.

>> 100% because we're using that we're

using the data that we're getting from

the thousands of traders that are that

are that are operating to inform our

risk management.

>> Okay.

>> So I mean yeah like that that does make

sense. Like you aren't making profit.

For example, let's say someone makes on

a 50k account they make 10% they make

5,000 bucks. Let's say they want to

withdraw 50% of that. Those 2500 bucks

weren't made exactly from their specific

account, right? Like so those 2500 bucks

that you're going to pay them out

doesn't come from their funded account.

It comes from the bigger strategy out of

all these traders. Is that what it is?

So my next question is running the

business model like this. Why won't this

business fail or what are the odds of

this business failing of running the

business model like this?

>> We're a business. I mean every business

has the risk of failing right but you've

seen you've you've walked around our

business you've seen the real people the

end to end of everything that we're

doing from risk operations marketing

product tech safet um security legal

compliance all those teams are real

they're here in the flesh but that

doesn't guarantee anything right we

still have to operate with with rigorous

processes follow the law apply good

business sense and if we fail it means

that our T1 banking partners our global

T1 independent auditors have missed

something. Our insurance, all of those

reputable global players, right, that

are working with us, our counterparties

have also missed something. So, we have

all the protections in place that anyone

could reasonably expect. And I challenge

any other prop firm in this space to ask

anyone else whether they have the same

infrastructure that we have. But

ultimately, we still need to run a

profitable business where we manage our

costs responsibly and we make sure that

we're at the end of the day making

profit for our shareholders. But we're

trying to be responsible corporate

citizens and put a great product out

there that people want to buy. There

would have to be something that goes

wrong.

>> Yeah.

>> For us to fail, right?

>> Five different regulators have to miss

something. Correct.

>> At the same time,

>> correct? You know, we've got the

regulation in place. We've got the funds

segregated with JP Morgan Chase. We have

all the reasonable steps to give this

thing the best possible chance.

>> It's fair enough for me. You know, I

don't I'm I'm trying to be the haters

right now. [laughter] I'm trying to be

the haters in the comments.

>> At the end of the day, it comes back to

delivery. saying what you're going to do

and doing what you said you were going

to do and being boring in some ways.

Like I want to be boring. I want people

I want people to know what they're going

to get. No surprises, transparency

and trust what they're going to get,

right? Cuz ultimately it's about trust.

It's about repeatability. It's about

deliverability. It's about knowing what

you're going to get and just doing that

over and over again. But that's how good

business is run. Doing the basics well.

That's what we want to do.

>> So the odds of the business failing or

someone not getting a payout, very low

>> basically. I mean there's always going

to be people that don't get a payout,

right? But again, if you come back to

the rules, they've done something. They

either haven't read the rules, they

don't know the rules, or they haven't or

they've broken the rules. So, yeah, we

have a risk team that's in place to to

keep those people out because the rules

are there for a reason, but if you

follow the rules, you'll get paid. Next

question. Why do you guys charge money

for a challenge? If you make profits

from the strategy of the traders, what's

the point of charging people for a

challenge in the first place?

>> Sure. I mean, you've seen our business,

right? You've seen we got real people

here actually managing managing the

business. People cost money. The trades

are in real life conditions, right? So

that costs money. We got trading

platforms. We got bridge fees, got

operational costs. You know, we're

running a endto-end business. All of

those costs help us with essentially

covering the cost of running the

business and allow us to do what we do,

right? Which is basically bringing the

opportunity to people to trade our

simulator trading product across the

best platforms in the world. We got MT5,

got MT4, Trading View, and Trade Locker.

If you're in a country though where

where we allow traders, we're basically

giving you a premium experience to buy a

challenge that you know is going to be

backed by air cap.

>> So technically you don't use sign up

money to pay the traders out, right?

>> Yeah. So we use the signup money to

cover the cost of running the business

which is all the cost that I mentioned

before

>> which is our overheads, trading

platforms, everything like that to bring

the product to the customer.

>> Guys, I'm asking every single possible

question. Next question. So I have a

couple like flash bang out questions. Do

you guys have trading draw down?

>> Trailing? No. I hate trailing draw down.

I think it's deceptive and I and I

really don't like it. It's not good for

traders and so we don't use it.

>> Okay.

>> Why don't you guys have instant payouts?

>> Instant payouts. Again, I think I

mentioned earlier we have a risk team.

The risk team has a job and part of

their job is to actually check payouts

and make sure people haven't broken

rules. We need to allow 24 hours for our

risk team to do their job.

>> Make sure that everything

>> basically make sure traders are

following the rules. With instant

payouts, we can't do that. So I see that

you guys have some custom feature coming

called the revive feature, right? So I

know you guys were talking to me about

earlier. What is this revive feature and

what is it? What does it do?

>> Sure. Bridget, you want to talk about

revive?

>> Sure.

>> So now we're offering insurance that

allow clients to just try a reset when

they are on the phase one or phase two

during one phase and two phase

challenges. Revive is going to be for

funded accounts payout stage. So clients

are going to be able to reset their

accounts when they are on the live

stage. So that is going to give them

another opportunity to actually be close

to get a payout.

>> So if their account is in draw down on

the funded stage, they can revive it or

if they fail, they can pay to revive it.

>> No, they need to get the revive before

they fail.

>> M

>> so when you go at the checkout, you're

going to get this add-on.

>> So that's how you're going to get this

feature. You go to the payout stage and

you can use it if you fail.

>> So let's say that your account went to

draw down. You're lost, but you have the

revive. So, you're going to be able to

actually continue on your payout stage.

So, you don't need to get a new

challenge.

>> So, you could only get the revive before

you start the challenge essentially

>> at this point. Yes. But we have a

surprise that is it's going to come up

soon.

>> All right. That's pretty [ __ ] cool in

my opinion. [laughter]

Next question. What exactly is the day

trader challenge? I know you guys have

like this like hour challenge or

whatever. It's pretty cool. I don't know

what it consists of. Talk to me about

it. Yeah.

>> Yeah. So, we had people who wanted a

quick challenge, right? They want to do

a challenge on the way home on their

commute on the way home from work or at

the gym and and it suits the way they

trade, right? Same day challenge. So, we

created this challenge. It's the only

challenge like this in the market. It's

fully customizable. You can start as low

as $5. You can choose you can choose

your conditions and that's it, right? 1

hour, 2 hour, 4 hour, 8 hour, and fully

customizable challenge. Away you go.

Finish in one day, get paid the next

day. That's it.

>> Is it these same exact rules or does it

have its own unique rules?

>> It's not the same rules. There's two

rules. Basically, the first rule is

there's a time limit on it. So, if you

take a 1-hour challenge, the challenge

starts and it ends in an hour, right?

So, if you hit your profit target within

an hour, you win. If not, you don't you

don't you don't win the challenge. The

only rule I want to highlight to you is

what we call the profit allocation rule.

Basically means that you can't make all

of your profit on one single asset,

right? So, you have to trade at least

two different asset types and at least

three instruments. You can't win all

your money on gold, for example, right?

You have to trade gold and forex for

example.

>> So I would have to trade currencies and

then

>> and commodities

>> and commodities.

>> Yeah. Or currencies and crypto.

>> That makes it a little bit harder,

>> but it's still a fun challenge, right?

And you can still do it in in your, you

know, in your afternoon, right? You can

take multiple challenge in the same day,

and if you pass, you get paid the next

day. 100% profit split.

>> Oh, really?

>> Yeah.

>> Well, not bad.

>> I mean, yeah, it's a it's a little I

mean, it's a challenge. It's meant to be

challenging, right? So, it's not the

easiest.

>> But if I can tell you you can 10x your

money, right, in 1 hour, that shouldn't

be easy

>> for sure,

>> right? Equally, if you have the

opportunity to 2x your money in 1 hour

or even in 8 hours, you know, that

should be easier than making 10x your

money. But again, it's doable. And we

have traders currently who are doing

great, who love this challenge.

>> Do you have any questions, Sarah? I

don't know. I I ran out of questions. I

don't have any more questions. Like, I

have all I got have other basic

questions, but I feel like you answered

the hard nitty-gritty questions. Yeah.

You're welcome to ask more questions and

we can just do more stuff if you want or

I don't know.

>> All right, bro. What a long day. I think

it was great. Look, it's it's night

time. We've been here like

>> Yeah, we did a lot of talking and a lot

of interrogation. Yeah, honestly when

the cameras turned off is like where

they really showed us a lot of the

backend stuff because they don't want to

put on video stuff behind the business.

I wouldn't want to do it either. So very

cool to see the way the infrastructure

is in the back end,

>> but we at least know it's a real place

now.

>> Yeah, it's definitely real. And like how

how they manage a team of 100 people,

which is honestly insane. Um just

everything in general. they actually

have an advantage that they are here

technically in the future because they

get to work around the clock almost like

in advance. Like for example, let's say

right now for them it's Friday, but it's

still Thursday in the States. So they

can work on something while everybody's

sleeping in the States and when they

wake up it's already done. Very cool. So

yeah, had a great time. Now we're going

to head back home and get some rest

because I'm fried.

>> Yeah, I'm fried. [music] Yeah, I'm

fried. Yeah, I'm fried. Yeah.

Yeah. I'm f

>> Wait, are you the really rich guy?

>> Oh my god.

>> Really rich guy.

>> What? With the smash spaghetti?

>> Yeah.

>> Oh my gosh.

>> Matt Armstrong's fixing spaghetti.

>> Yeah.

>> Let's go.

>> What are you guys doing? You riding?

>> Yeah, just riding around.

>> You know how to wheelie or no?

>> Oh, yeah. I can.

>> You can?

>> Yeah. Okay. Let me see.

Oh.

>> Oh, your turn.

>> Oh, you're that guy in the group.

>> Okay. Okay. Oh. Oh,

>> yeah. That was good. That was [laughter]

>> I'm sorry.

>> Good. Good meeting you guys.

>> Thank you.

>> Yeah. Say y'all.

>> Are you that really rich guy? I've never

heard that one.

>> Yeah. He's not lying. I mean, yeah, he's

not, but there's a lot more to me than

just a meeting. Whatever. Point is,

we're trying to right now find the spot

for the meet and greet that we're going

to be doing tomorrow. So, I did not

expect to do a meet and greet here at

all, but I think I've received over

3,000 DMs. But the reason why I want to

do the meet and greet, not only is it to

meet all the Aussies, but I want to ask

the traders in person, like look, this

is what I found out yesterday. What else

do you want to know or come to the

conclusion before I sign this deal with

this prop firm? Maybe they have other

questions that I haven't thought of for

whatever reason and they helped me get

to the bottom of it. So yeah, we're

looking for the spot right now where we

can meet the Aussies mate here in

Australia.

>> You know, we can't leave Australia until

we see a kangaroo.

>> Oh, I mean are the kangaroos just like

anywhere? Are they

>> Yeah, they're like they're like roosters

in Helia.

>> Ooh. Hey mate, where where can I find

kangaroos?

>> Yeah, kangaroos like they're not close

to here.

>> No, we need to go into the bush.

>> How far is that?

>> Plenty road. Plenty. Uh George, we found

a lot.

>> How far is that?

>> How far? Oh, we need to catch a train. A

train?

>> Yes.

>> How far is that?

>> Uh about 1 hour.

>> 1 hour. Okay, that's not bad.

>> 1 1 hour. 1 hour and a half. We're going

to we're going to we're chefs, so we

want to cook a kangaroo. Will we catch

him or no?

>> Try.

>> Good luck.

>> Okay. Any advice?

>> Uh I never did, so I don't know.

>> I can't recommend. Okay.

>> This guy's like, "What the fuck?"

[laughter]

>> They eat them. What? Catch him. Eat

them. What the [ __ ]

>> We find ourselves at a park.

Seas thinks that he is stronger than I

am. Has a stronger grip.

We're going to put that to the test

right now. So, we're going to do a

hanging competition. Whoever can hang

the longest without falling wins. 100

bucks competition.

>> You lost 100 bucks, buddy.

>> I'll see you in an economy.

>> You're so cooked.

>> I'm ready whenever you are.

>> You ready? All right.

Is it

[laughter]

[music]

[music]

Oh, this showing, bro. Like, it's pretty

It's pretty bad, brother.

Yeah, my hands going to get really bad.

See that?

I I genuinely enjoy that, though. I was

having a great time. Yeah, that was

actually I wouldn't say fun, but

>> more enjoyable, but

>> I don't like working out with weights,

bro. Well, you know this. By the way, I

go to the gym and I do 15 minutes worth

of workout. All I like doing is just

pull-ups, dips, and push-ups. That's it.

All right. So, this is the spot right

here. So, we had the bright idea that

I'm going to bring my laptop. I'm going

to be right here.

>> I did not expect that.

>> Yeah, you shouldn't slam your laptop on

there.

>> Yeah. that that won't be a good idea.

Well, the point is we're going to have

another trader right here asking them

what questions do they have about

trading and what other insights do they

want about the prop firm? Like what

other doubts, what other concerns, what

other things do they want to see? And I

can be their voice and go speak to Adam

tomorrow and get more of these questions

answered. So, I think this is this Bro,

I'm just cold, dude. We got to come with

a jacket tomorrow. But imagine we come

here tomorrow and there's like two

Aussies. Oh, man. That'd be depressing.

At least we know two Aussies

>> and At least you know what? We'll take

those two Aussies out to a good time.

>> What if it's like a thousand Aussies?

>> Then that's an issue.

>> Then that then we just leave.

>> This is a good spot, right?

>> Yeah.

>> Am I overthinking it? Like it's pretty

cinematic, right? You got the little

bench.

>> It's like a bench for like only two

people.

>> Okay. That's all I need. All I need is

one person and then people could be

around ask you know supervising. All

right. So tomorrow 2 p.m. We're going to

be right back here answering any

questions from the locals. See you boys

tomorrow.

>> You look like a mermaid.

>> Very majestic on your part.

>> You know I used to swim back in high

school.

>> I had to make my Cuban as an ancestors.

This is how you know it's way too early.

My Cuban ancestors happy. We are

extremely jetlagged. It is currently

4:00 in the morning, bro. We We've only

been here for 3 days and we've done the

same thing every day. The Ritz where we

are here to the office and back. That's

it. Pretty excited for the meet and

greet later today. Hopefully, I don't

fall asleep in the middle of the day

like I've been doing every day. So, yep.

Pretty much this is going to be

essentially like our last day here

because we leave on Sunday night, Monday

morning back to Miami. 26-hour journey

back. And it's very important that I get

to ask people the question, what else do

you guys want to know? And what else do

you guys want to see from AAP side, the

platform side? What guys do you what do

you want to see from the trading floor?

Because in the trading floor, ladies and

gentlemen, I'm not going to lie, I got a

lot of more ideas from what I just saw

at the office. Very inspiring to me. I'm

very glad that I did that. Changed my

vision entirely. And I want to show you

guys some updates of how swing trading

lab trading floor is looking like. All

right. So, we've been getting some video

updates right here of just do this

of how this is essentially like the

parking lot in front of the warehouse.

How that's looking. That was 50,000.

How the basketball court is getting

painted. That was 25,000. This is

actually 40,000 and 40,000 each one.

These are all just like video updates

how that's looking. These are the in

front of the warehouse.

Let me find pictures of inside the

trading floor, which is what matters,

right? Oh, the other warehouse is

getting insulation done so it doesn't

get hot. All right. So, this is the gym.

You see this is the gym. Putting

insulation on all the walls inside of

the trading floor. The guys are watching

the World Cup.

>> That's the guy building our house.

>> That's the guy building the house, bro.

>> We're working on it. It's getting done.

Shit's getting done. And the main reason

why we're rushing things is because July

25th, I'm hosting an events there for

just my students. So, we have a hundred

students that have already confirmed

showing up to this event where it's

basically going to be a whole day thing.

It's only for my community because I

want to be able to have a one-on-one

experience for everybody that comes. And

this is not really a commercialized

property. It's not open to the public.

This is private. And I want to be able

to dedicate to people that actually care

to learn and want to really give this

100% of their efforts. I want to give

those people the time of day and

actually help them throughout the

journey. So, if this were to be

commercialized and available to

everybody, it takes away that value

aspect of it. So, this is only private

and exclusive to just my students. And I

do two events a year with my students in

person. And instead of going to go rent

somewhere, try to do it right there. We

could definitely accommodate 100

students. I wanted to do 200, but my

team told me, "No, only do 100." Just

the first one. We don't know if the

Starlink Wi-Fi is going to break and

nobody's going to have service. So, just

the first one to test.

>> And I know this sounds like a very cool

and powerful idea. This took me a lot of

time to really put together and I think

there's a reason why nobody's ever done

it because it's a very powerful idea

that gets executed correctly. If there's

someone that's going to execute it

correctly, it's going to be me. Like I

am very persistent. I take big risk.

I've been in jail two times for the

brand, you know, streaking the Super

Bowl and doing other crazy stuff. Like I

put my life at risk for the brand

multiple times and I don't have to like

I'm respectfully like the kid said that

rich guy you [laughter] know like I'm

good but I love the drive. I love

working towards something. So if at any

point the trading floor closes for

unexpected reasons it is not because I

did it. We got attacked by the matrix.

Just know that if I put together too

many successful people and uh we start

doing too many big things we might make

some people upset. But that's a lot of

information for this very moment. I'm

going to have a swim and uh go hit the

sauna or something cuz it's 4:30 in the

morning.

>> Are Australians usually on time to

things or are they typically late?

>> Yeah,

>> most of them they're okay.

>> Yeah,

>> most of them. But a lot of them can be

late as well.

>> Yeah.

>> Feel like it's a culture everywhere,

right? To be late to things.

>> It just depends how late.

>> Yeah.

>> Wow. There's a lot more I thought.

>> [laughter]

>> Nobody bought a kangaroo.

>> How you doing?

>> How's it going?

>> Oh, what's the honest?

>> I don't know if you had this many.

>> What up, boys? Good.

>> All right. Good to see you. What's going

on, guys?

>> You guys know each other or is the first

time you guys all meet?

>> It's kind of cool. You guys get to meet

other traders here.

>> Pretty cool. Pretty cool.

>> Well, Welcome. [laughter]

>> Got your little gift.

>> Oh, wow. Thank you.

>> Welcome to Australia.

>> Thank you very much. What is this

exactly?

>> Oh, these are like probably the famous

biscuits from Australia. Every American

generally likes them. So,

>> it's like a like a chocolate from here.

Like a local chocolate.

>> Yeah, I don't eat them. I'm too fat.

But, uh,

>> you sure you don't eat them? [laughter]

>> But enjoy them.

>> Thank you very much, brother. I

appreciate it. If

>> no one takes it, we're going to stash it

in here.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Now, would you ever do a 100 to a

million challenge again? [laughter]

>> I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't

know.

>> What broker do you use that allows you

to do big lot size like that?

>> Is that LK?

>> I use LQH1X. I use IC and OA. So, I use

like four different brokers.

>> But would I do another one again? Maybe.

I don't know.

>> That's right. That was crazy. I followed

you through that because one of your

students as well

>> and I literally just flipped an account

like I was seeing these numbers.

Couldn't even believe my eyes.

>> So you saw the whole journey of that?

>> Yeah, the whole journey and Alex take so

many so many

>> like balls of steel to put like

literally like 500k literally like

trying to double it.

>> I mean it was like a year and a half but

it it went down.

>> Insane. Insane.

>> How do you get rid of that fear of

thinking you're not going to make it or

not requesting a payout? How do you get

past that barrier? It's actually a lot

harder for me than it is for you guys.

Like when I got started trading, nobody

did this like at all. I did not meet a

group of traders. It was just me by

myself. So I pretty much have to believe

in myself. Like you have other people

around you. Like who here has made

profits from the markets like raise your

hand. So that should take away your fear

if somebody next to you has made some

type of profits. You know, I never had

that when I started in my journey. I was

just by myself.

>> Thank you very much.

>> I lost money. We lost money. [laughter]

Everybody's lost money.

>> Alex, um, if you would start again with

having that knowledge that you've got

right now and you would start from

ground zero, like probably most of us

from here, it takes money to make money.

>> How would you start from ground zero

building up that capital to then

possibly trading your life?

>> Yeah, definitely prop firms. No, I mean,

for me, I was two years unsuccessful

with personal accounts. I was just

constantly trying to chase that big

account flip in order for me to deem

myself profitable. And I was a

successful trader at that point and that

never worked. Came across platforms,

failed probably for six months. Then I

learned how to manage risk. I learned

how to follow rules when nobody was

looking. And then I figured out, okay, I

need to follow these rules, manage

larger amounts of capital. And then I

built my personal account. So I've been

in my personal account probably for like

four or five years now. I haven't traded

prop firms. I haven't had the need to.

But if I were have to start from zero,

build capital. Prop firms is definitely

the easiest way. sucks because you have

some rules, you know, that they are

meant to challenge you on purpose, but

that would be the best way possible for

sure.

>> Any prop friend that you can suggest us?

>> I mean, that's what I came here for.

[laughter]

>> Holy [ __ ] WHAT UP? WHAT UP? WHAT UP,

>> DUDE? Nobody brought a kangaroo, bro.

It's kind of disappointing. I'm not

going to lie. [music]

>> What you're doing with Bugatti is

actually mad, man. You know, you're

doing a big movement like

>> Yeah.

>> I know it's not trading, but I've been

working on Lambos, Ferraris for all my

life.

>> Okay.

>> And what they ask you to pay for like

>> No. Yeah.

>> You know, I the Bugatti should be done

next month, hopefully.

>> No, I'm going to show you guys how it's

going to look.

>> You got a picture?

>> Yeah. Yeah. I'll show you guys. I'll

show you.

>> Sick.

>> All right. So, this is what it's going

to look like.

>> All right. Well, we can't wait.

>> No. No pictures. Yeah. No. Matt would

get so mad if I [laughter]

No pictures. All right. No, no. I see

your phone, bro.

>> All right, let me see your hands.

Everybody show me your [ __ ] hands.

[laughter]

>> That's [ __ ]

>> That look like

>> Yeah. Yeah. It's It's going to be way

better than before.

>> I'm one of your students that said I

forget.

>> Oh, thank you, brother.

>> I'm actually about to post you on there.

I'll be like, I have to see with Alex.

[laughter]

>> Thank you, brother. Thank you for

coming, bro. I actually got both of your

programs, set and forget and uh you know

no BS.

>> Fire. I haven't seen you in the no BS

yet.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm in there

because cuz I work full-time as well,

you know, trying to juggle between the

two. So I study at night time.

>> You've been on the calls with Maicio and

Sebastian or

>> Yeah. Yeah. Mauricio. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So, you know, uh Yeah, man. Loving it,

you know.

>> Brother, thank you very much.

>> Can't wait. I'm you know, trying to get

trying to get down to your, you know,

your new studios

>> for the trading floor. Yeah. We're going

>> I want to come, man. Yeah, I think you

should come. You know, the 25th.

>> Every all the students are invited.

You're welcome to come.

>> Yeah. Looking forward to

>> the tickets are inside of the community.

>> I I came here to say thank you for your

inspiration. I'm one of your student. I

move from New Zealand to here just

because of the trading. I left my

everything business house and everything

>> and I was following your 100 mill as

well.

>> Thank you very much. and your course I

received from for my one of the birthday

gift from my wife in my 40.

>> Okay, cool. She's a keeper.

>> I don't necessarily trade like your

style. [laughter]

>> I'm a crazy voice, bro.

>> I don't necessarily trade your style,

but set and forget has really helped my

psychology and just letting [ __ ] run and

like letting [ __ ] play out.

>> So, appreciate you, my man.

>> Thank you very much.

>> Traders, but you reckon I could get a

flip?

>> Sure. Your voice should be like on a

documentary or something, bro. People

were saying like podcast.

>> He should be at He should do your

documentary.

>> Yeah. Like a podcast or something.

>> Let me know. Let me know. [ __ ]

>> I was in a rush.

>> It's a crazy voice.

>> We look good.

>> Yeah, we look good.

>> Do we sound good,

>> boys? I wish I had more time. Thank you

guys very much for coming out. All the

support. Love every single one of you

guys. And I will see you guys soon. I'll

be back in Melbourne soon, boys.

>> See you, boys.

>> Have a good one.

>> I'll see you in Miami.

>> See you boys.

next time.

>> What do you think of ICT?

>> [ __ ] him. [laughter]

>> [ __ ] him.

[music]

[laughter]

What the hell?

Yo, [laughter] this guy is

>> Dude, you almost hit your car, bro.

>> Almost. [laughter]

>> Almost.

>> This limo is sick. You know, we um

What's your name, sir?

>> Gary.

>> Gary, you know, we just blew one up.

>> Is it?

>> Yeah. I bought one and I blew it up.

>> Oh my god.

>> This This was gangster.

>> This one's gi six wheel

>> chopping [laughter] up, bro. Why is that

back tire like that?

>> Ladies and gentlemen, finally back home

after a 26-hour journey, [laughter]

dude. We could have just signed

something through Docu Sign and like

that's really it, bro. Like, we didn't

have to go all the way over there. We

know we're not those guys. We're not

those guys. We do things differently

here at Swing Trading Lab. Clearly, like

take longer than we should to have the

trading floor open, ladies and

gentlemen. Now, I want to obviously give

you by the time you guys are watching

this video, I'm sure you already know,

but we have officially partnered up with

ACAP funding to bring challenges to

everybody that comes to the trading

floor. So, they're managing personal

capital. So, they're managing prop

capital and what we are scaling with our

own capital here at Swing Trading Lab.

So, so you want to get your AAP

challenges discount code down below. You

guys already know I went the extra mile

to make sure that they are regulated,

that there is people there in person,

that they're running a legitimate

business model. I asked all the hard

questions. I even did the meet and

greet, asked the people in the meet and

greet to give me more hard questions to

go back and speak to them. And uh I

mean, for me, I'm very happy. If you

guys have any other questions you would

like to ask them, feel free to reach out

to the support. but love the fact that

they're the only prop firm that opened

the doors to me and allowed me to go and

ask these tough questions and be able to

be as transparent as they were. So,

little update on trading floor.

Currently on the final stages, just

furniture is really what's missing. This

is the hangout area. That's the

educational side over here. Let me show

you guys. By the way, that wall right

there is actually going to be purely for

payout certificates. So, everybody that

gets a payout from AAP Challenges will

go on that wall right there. So, they're

going to get their own certificate that

goes on that wall. They're going to be

sending us a logo. The brokers that I

trade with are going to be on this wall.

So, anybody that has a successful

account flip is going to go on this wall

with their flipping certificate. And

then over here are the actual traders.

In my opinion, I think this is much

cooler, much cleaner, and I just think

it's better in my opinion. I have one of

these. Obviously, these are massive. I

don't think people like screens this

big, but I'm going to be providing this

for all the traders that come here,

desk, laptop, keyboard, and everything.

And ladies and gentlemen, that's pretty

much what this video consisted of, of

going the extra mile and seeing behind

the scenes of one of the largest prop

firms in the industry. It's a very

sketchy industry lately because a lot of

these prop firms just come up one year,

take everybody's money, and then run

off. And a lot of bad businesses have

been built on the backbone of a good

opportunity for traders. And there's

great businesses that sometimes don't

get all the attention that they should

because of the type of common issues

that the industry has like the ones that

we've already discussed. So yeah, I hope

you guys enjoyed this video. Really did

this one for you guys. This took a lot

of my time. This took This whole trip

was like $60,000 by the way. I know. I

know. You know,

>> I I did not feel that in the seat that I

was sitting on in the

>> Yeah, because we missed a flight, bro.

Cuz you [ __ ] drove slow, bro. From

[ __ ] the R. But, you know, it's okay,

man. It's a It's a team effort. But

aside from that, I had a great time. Got

to meet the guys, other like-minded

people. And I got a lot of cool ideas to

do here for this trading floor. So, if

you guys like this video, hit that like,

comment, and subscribe. And ladies and

gentlemen, trading floor. By the next

time you guys see the next video, we'll

be done. So, hope you guys enjoyed it.

I'll see you guys in the next one.

>> Other than Adam.

>> Oh, dude. That was [ __ ] Matt

Armstrong with his [ __ ] ads, bro.

Dude, [ __ ] this guy. I haven't finished

my Bugatti

and he's charging us ads.
