Focus on what truly matters – Volatility and Volume.
Volatility and volume are the two key measures that matter in trading. Understanding how much the market has moved recently (volatility) and where market participants are concentrating their interest (volume) is crucial. Our strategies are designed to help you harness these elements effectively for successful trading.
We’ll teach you how to read and interpret volatility to gauge the market’s current state. You’ll learn to identify high-probability setups based on volume patterns, giving you a significant edge. By focusing on these two critical factors, you’ll be able to make smarter, more informed trading decisions.
Adapt and thrive in ever-changing market microclimates.
Situational Fluency is the ability to read the room—the trading room, that is. It means knowing when to press and when to chill, recognizing shifting volatility, volume, and behavior, and responding with the right play at the right time. At tradersdevGROUP (just “TDG” if you’re cool with us), we train traders to develop this high-performance skill so they can thrive across conditions, not just survive them.
We don’t just teach entries and exits—we teach adaptability. Our focus is on helping you think like a trader who trades what is, not what they wish would happen. With the right mindset and practical tools, you’ll learn to navigate real-time markets with confidence, clarity, and yeah… even a little fun.
Rock star vibes meets serious Trader Energy.
At TDG, we teach futures trading the TDG Way: trade smaller, smarter, and saner. That means right-sizing your risk, using micros (yes, on purpose), and never trading like your account size is a badge of honor. Our method is designed to protect not just your capital, but your emotional capital—because what good is a P&L if you’re fried by Friday?
We focus on real-time, structured practice that builds skill—not hype. No “show up and throw up” randomness here. Instead, we help you train like a pro and trade with intention. And yeah… we have fun while we’re at it. Futures trading can be intense, but with the right approach and the right crew, it doesn’t have to be joyless. Rock on.
Let’s be real—prop firms aren’t perfect. But if you know how to use them, they’re one of the best tools available for building skill, managing risk, and scaling up without putting your personal capital on the line. The key isn’t throwing all your effort (and emotions) into a single evaluation—it’s spreading your edge across multiple accounts and firms using trade copiers.
This is how we do it the TDG Way: instead of overleveraging one account (especially your own), we teach traders how to scale safely by stacking small advantages across funded accounts. You get leveraged potential without leveraged stress. It’s smart. It’s sustainable. And it works.

Our live, daily trade room is more than just a place to watch trades—it’s an interactive mentorship experience where you learn by seeing seasoned traders analyze the market, make decisions, and execute trades in real time. You’ll get insights, instant feedback, and a chance to refine your skills alongside a strong trading community.
But if you can’t make the live sessions regularly, no problem—you can still get involved. Start by joining the free portion of our Discord, where you can stay connected, learn, and get a feel for what makes TDG different.
Inspired by Hal Elrod’s book, The Miracle Equation, we believe that anything is possible with Unwavering Faith and Extraordinary Effort. Our community at TDG is dedicated to instilling this faith in traders, showing them that success in trading is achievable. Once you believe, all that’s left is to put in the extraordinary effort required.
We’ll help you build the mindset needed to succeed in trading. It’s about having the confidence to stick with your plan, even when things get tough, and the determination to keep pushing forward. With the right mindset, you can achieve more than you ever thought possible.
The Daily Risk Budget (DRB) is the cornerstone of risk management in trading. By establishing and adhering to your DRB, you can trade any strategy under any market conditions and stay ahead. Protecting your DRB ensures long-term success and prevents significant losses in a single session.
Think of your DRB as your safety net. It helps you stay disciplined and prevents you from making impulsive decisions that could wipe out your account. We’ll show you how to set a realistic DRB. This simple concept can make all the difference in your trading journey.
At TDG, we keep it simple and effective. You’ll learn how to manage risk, trade with clarity, and build a mindset that supports long-term consistency — no fluff, no gimmicks.
We don’t sell courses, indicators, signals, or bots. The only real way to build trading skill is through focused, deliberate practice — ideally while looking over the shoulder of someone who’s already doing it well.
That’s what the Pro Trading Room (PTR) is all about. It’s where everything comes together: live market prep, real-time trade planning, and skill-building in the moments that actually matter.
We’re not another trading “program.” We’re a group of active traders committed to improving together — with zero hype and a sharp focus on what works.
Learn essential techniques to protect your capital while you grow.
Build a disciplined approach to long-term success.
Gain the skills to adapt to market shifts confidently.
Engage with traders who share your goals.
