Prop Firm Insights: What Actually Works for Traders

In this session, Brett Simberkoff pulls back the curtain on how prop firms actually operate and what separates consistently profitable traders from those who struggle to pass or maintain funded accounts.

He will break down how different prop firm models work, including evaluation structures, funded account pathways, payout mechanics, and risk rules - and how each of these impacts a trader’s ability to succeed long-term.

Going beyond theory, Brett will walk through a real trading strategy he uses, showing how he approaches market structure, trade selection, and risk management on live charts. The focus is on practical execution - not indicators or shortcuts - but the decision-making frameworks that experienced traders rely on.
