Quitting Corporate to go ALL IN as a Futures Trader with Josh Wills

Quitting Corporate to go ALL IN as a Futures Trader with Josh Wills

In this episode, I sit down with Josh, a recent Black Shirt Club graduate who’s gone all-in on trading. After leaving his corporate job in London, moving back to Cambridge, and becoming a new dad, Josh committed fully to the markets. He shares what it’s been like transitioning from steady paychecks to relying on prop firm payouts, how he handled the pressure of trading as his sole income, and the mindset shift that changed everything.

We dig into trade management, why going “all in, all out” helped him improve consistency, and how backtesting on Tradezella built his confidence. Josh breaks down his approach with VWAP, account sizing, and risk management, while also sharing hard-earned lessons on detaching from emotions, sticking to one strategy, and finding strength in community.

If you’re navigating the move from part-time to full-time trading—or you just want to hear the real behind-the-scenes of a trader building his career—this conversation is packed with insight.
