Jesse W. is a futures trader and creator of TradingWithJESSEW, a YouTube channel focused on futures trading, prop firms, and the realities of funded trading accounts. Known for sharing both his wins and losses openly, Jesse documents his actual trading journey from blown accounts and costly mistakes to substantial payouts and major milestones.

In 2026, after an exceptional stretch of futures trading and prop-firm payouts, Jesse used more than $90,000 of those proceeds toward eliminating the remaining mortgage on his home and ultimately becoming mortgage-free.

Through TradingWithJESSEW, Jesse focuses on practical trading, risk management, transparency, and providing traders with an honest look at both the opportunities and risks of the futures prop-trading industry.
