This is educational material, not financial advice. Trading futures, forex and funded prop-firm accounts carries a substantial risk of loss, and the income figures quoted here are the speakers' own unverified claims.
Most pages draw on transcripts of one prop-firm trader's videos (Z_NASD) and two ICT lectures. Prop-firm plans, rules, fees and payout terms quoted from them are as of early 2026 unless a page says otherwise; they change often.
