Why The Best Traders Don't Care About Risk/Reward Ratios

Why The Best Traders Don't Care About Risk/Reward Ratios

Author: Austin Silver March 7, 2026 Duration: 42:50

Austin sits down with Forex Ike to talk about prop firms, scalping, negative risk-to-reward trading, and why so many traders overcomplicate the path to profitability.


Ike explains how he keeps trading simple with basic support and resistance, quick NQ scalps, and a mindset built around taking consistent payouts instead of chasing huge wins.


The conversation covers part-time trading, evals vs. instant funded accounts, copy trading, social media’s impact on trader expectations, and why too much information can actually make you worse. Ike has taken futures prop payouts from firms like Top One Futures, Topstep, and more!!
