Chris shares the real story behind his $250K win in small caps, how a brutal $25K loss forced him to rethink risk, and why prop firms like Top One Futures became the path to long-term consistency.


We go deep on:

Building his VWAP Wave System and how it simplifies trade selection

Why most traders stay stuck in the “almost phase” and how to get through it

His favorite risk tactic: build a cushion, then size up

How streaming his trades daily made him more accountable — and more profitable

The underrated role of fitness, family, and self-discipline in trading success


Whether you're trading one account or managing multiple funded accounts, Chris’s story will remind you what it really takes to survive this game: discipline, patience, and a system you trust.
