How This Prop Trader Became a Golden Goose

In this anonymous yet deeply personal episode of The Trader’s Journey, Anthony speaks with veteran proprietary firm trader Goose, whose 12+ year journey has taken him from hopeful trader to becoming consistently profitable and eventually mentoring other traders.

Goose shares his full journey—early failures, pivotal trades, mental breakdowns, and recovery—along with the real mindset it takes to survive both the markets and prop firms. From trading earnings, to how he think about reading 'the box' to navigating drawdowns, Goose brings a refreshing, thoughtful take on what trading success really looks like.

This episode is filled with wisdom for traders at any level—especially those navigating setbacks or searching for structure.
