Prop Firms EXPOSED: The Brutal Truth From Rod Who's Traded 30 Years!

Описание: Are prop trading firms a scam… or a legitimate path to becoming a real trader?

In this in-depth conversation, Eddie Z sits down with Roderick Casilli from Traders Dev Group, a veteran trader who started his career at Merrill Lynch in the early 1990s and has traded through market crashes, scandals, and seismic shifts in how trading works.

Roderick breaks down what most people don’t understand about funded trading programs, micros, drawdowns, and why so many traders fail before they ever get a real chance. If you’ve ever wondered whether those “$50,000 prop accounts” are too good to be true, this episode pulls back the curtain—no hype, no fluff, just real trading truths.
