Calling Out ALL The FRAUDS & LIARS In The Prop Trading Space | SIM FARMING EXPOSED

Calling Out ALL The FRAUDS & LIARS In The Prop Trading Space | SIM FARMING EXPOSED

Author: Austin Silver October 25, 2025 Duration: 1:00:32

In this episode, Zach Boyajian returns for a long-awaited Part 2 with futures trader Zach Boyajian. They dive deep into prop firm payouts, SIM farming, overconfidence, and the real cost of copy trading.

Zach shares how he went from blowing SIM PRO accounts to balancing personal capital and live prop accounts. He explains why a $20K payout doesn't make you a trader if you lost $15K getting there. The conversation unpacks emotional tilt, overtrading, and the boom-bust cycles that trap most new traders.

Zach now trades one high-quality setup a day, focused on risk control and longevity. He breaks down how he uses VWAP, volume profile, and CVD to make sense of the ES and YM chaos. This episode is brutally honest, packed with strategy, and a must-listen for anyone in the prop space.
