He Made 80% On FTMO While Working FULL Time

In this episode of the Prop Firm Trader Podcast, Griff breaks down how he hit #1 on the FTMO leaderboard after making 80% on a $100,000 account. He explains why trading less improved his results, why he spent 17 months backtesting before going live, and why he believes full-time trading is a mistake for most traders. We also get into patience, self-awareness, journaling, process over payouts, and how he built a high-performance swing trading approach with very few trades. We hope you enjoy this episode. ____________________________________ SUBSCRIBE NOW & Like this video to help us continue to bring the BEST Prop Firm Traders in the world.
