Most traders only see the front end of prop firms—the dashboard, the rules, the payouts. Episode 1 of Tradeify's Funded podcast goes behind the curtain.
John O'Neill (GM, NT Technologies) and Brett Simberkoff (CEO, Tradeify) sit down with host Maryam Rushdi to break down what actually separates surviving prop firms from failing ones, why NinjaTrader green-lit only 10 of 200 firms last year, and the daily loss limit rule traders hate—and why it might be the most important habit you can build before going live.
Plus: where CFTC regulation is heading, what AI actually changes about trader behavior, and a major IB announcement that bridges the gap from sim to live. This is the episode the prop world didn't know it needed.
