Live Session: Traders Of Our Times – What Elite Prop Traders Actually DO

How’s your trading going? Are you where you thought you’d be by now? Do you ever wonder why some traders seem to crack the code while others work just as hard but keep hitting the same walls?

We’ve got Bogdan Stoichescu joining us on June 4th 2025 for a live session that might shed some light on this. Bogdan spent 3 years sitting on the AXIA Futures trading floor in London, basically being a fly on the wall watching how 10 prop traders consistently pull in 7 and 8-figure incomes.

What he found was pretty eye-opening. These traders aren’t doing what most of us do. While we’re all focused on perfecting our entries and managing trades better, they’re solving completely different problems. They call them “upstream issues” – basically the stuff that happens before you even think about taking a trade.

Bogdan wrote it all down in a 500-page book called “Traders of Our Time.” Think of it as a modern-day Market Wizards – real stories of today’s elite traders and how they actually operate. This session is a chance to dig into what he discovered. This is the first in a number of incredibly valuable sessions we’ll be hosting with Bogdan.

We’ll talk about things like:

  • Why trading is a skill of navigation, not problem-solving 
  • Contamination: how beginners confuse pattern with strategy (a mistake that plagues even experienced traders)
  • The Trader’s Resource Dilemma – why it’s so hard to learn and perform simultaneously (and the structural solution prop firms use)
  • The illusion of progress – why traders get stuck asking reductive questions that lead nowhere
  • What complexity actually means in financial markets 
  • Why successful traders prioritize observation before optimization

We’re keeping the group size reasonable, so everyone can actually get their questions answered.

IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK OF ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR TO ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT TRADING RESULTS.
