In this episode, Austin and KV break down the chaos surrounding ProjectX pulling out of nearly every futures prop firm, leaving Tradeovate/NinjaTrader — now under Kraken — as the dominant platform. They discuss how this shift impacts traders, why platforms struggle to match ProjectX’s simplicity, and what the future of prop trading may look like in a more monopolized ecosystem. The conversation also touches on crypto prop firms, payout economics, and whether a new ProjectX–style platform could realistically be built.

KV shares data showing that 73% of traders in his free community took zero action, prompting a discussion about why people don’t value free resources, the importance of embracing boredom in trading, and the discipline required to stay consistent through both winning and losing streaks. The episode wraps with updates on the Tampa Bootcamp featuring Brian Shannon and a reminder of the power of in-person community for traders who usually grind alone.
