Krista, known as Fit Mom Trader, joins me to break down her reported $165,000 in prop firm payouts, the strategies she trades, and how she balances trading with raising three kids.
We talk about her $62,000 payout month, what she spent on evaluations, and the mistakes she’s still working through. She explains why she prefers evaluations over instant funding, how she uses journaling to catch emotional patterns, and why chasing payout requirements led to blown accounts.
