At some point you have to invest in getting better. Learn something. Get around other traders. Have conversations you’re not having sitting at home staring at a chart.

That’s why I push the bootcamp so hard. I know what being in that room can do for someone.

If you started trading through a futures prop firm, how much have you explored outside of ES and NQ?

My guest made an interesting point: the most money he’s made in his career has come from stocks and stock options.

He still likes futures for everyday scalping. Defined tick values, straightforward stop placement, and no options time decay make them appealing for that style of trading.

But he approaches a bigger move differently. In this clip, he explains why he wants younger traders to understand the opportunities in equities and options, too.

I trade futures every day, so I enjoyed hearing his perspective on when he chooses each market.

Do you only trade futures, or do you trade stocks and options as well?

Mine: wait until 9:45 ET for the opening range to form.

Here, I waited for the breakout to fail and price to close below NY VWAP before getting short.

That trade made $7,766.80 across my accounts.

Description: It’s hard to pursue trading when nobody around you takes it seriously.

His friends were talking about corporate careers and investment banking. When he brought up trading, they dismissed it.

He told me that if he’d been easier to influence at that age, he probably wouldn’t be here today.

What kept him interested was the possibility of building something for himself. He saw an opportunity worth pursuing, even without people in his circle who understood it.

I think a lot of traders will relate to this part of our conversation.

Did the people around you support you when you first started trading?

$4,800 from Futures Elite + $2,000 from Lucid.

Most of my accounts are instant funded. They cost more upfront, but I prefer skipping the eval and taking my time to reach a payout.

Once I’d proven I could take payouts, I added accounts and linked them through TradeSyncer.

Keep the size manageable. Stay patient. Give the process time.

He woke up the next morning with the trade up around $750K.

I asked him to walk me through his biggest trade ever—and why he put that much money behind it.

Would you hold a position that size through an election?

Options Prop with Vanquish - https://www.asfx.biz/vanquish - code ASFX

We talk about starting with penny stocks, trading around a full-time job, and the $30,000 SPY put trade that helped him build his capital during COVID. He also explains why he now prefers futures for everyday scalping while keeping options for individual stocks with a clear catalyst.

Then we get into position sizing, managing 0DTE risk, choosing contracts, and knowing when bigger size starts affecting your decisions. Desi also shares why trading his own money hasn’t automatically translated into passing prop firm evaluations.

We finish with selling options for premium, covered calls, building a long-term portfolio, and how he creates the supply and demand levels behind his daily watchlist.
