About Us – The Shadow Trader | Your Futures Trading Guide

Welcome to The Shadow Trader, your ultimate resource for futures trading, prop firm funding, and professional trading strategies. My name is Shadow, I’m 39 years old, and I live in California. With over 8 years of experience trading stocks, futures, and cryptocurrency, I’ve built this platform to help traders like you navigate the world of proprietary trading firms, funded accounts, and futures market opportunities.

My Trading Journey

I started trading stocks and crypto in the early years of my career, but it was futures trading that truly captured my interest. Over the past 8 years, I have developed, tested, and refined multiple futures trading strategies, learning what works and what doesn’t in real-market conditions. Through my experiences with proprietary trading firms like Apex Trader Funding, Topstep, and Earn2Trade, I’ve gained deep insights into evaluation programs, profit splits, and risk management techniques that help traders get funded and stay profitable.

Why I Created The Shadow Trader
