Hello, my friend!
Emailing you my early morning thoughts.
I usually write to you on Mondays with templates and structure, but today I’m writing for a different reason.
👥 A lot of you have asked for a place to connect with other traders who actually get it - people dealing with the same pressures of prop trading.
🤝 I’ve been listening, and I’ve decided to build that space carefully.
🧩 The biggest challenge I see (and still catch myself falling into) is overtrading once the plan has already been met. That moment when discipline starts to slip and the urge to “just take one more” takes over.
So I’m creating a small Discord Community focused on helping each other stay in control of those impulses.
Here’s how it will work:
Live channels will only be open a few hours each day so conversations stay focused and high-quality.
Every member will complete a simple daily Impulse Score review after their trading session. We’ll acknowledge those who stick to the process.
There will be a dedicated space to openly discuss prop firm experiences - the good, the frustrating, and everything in between.
No signals. No P&L screenshots. We’re deliberately removing the dopamine traps that pull so many of us off track.
The goal for is to stay locked into our own process, while having a calm, safe place to check in with other serious traders for a short window each day.
If this sounds useful while I finish setting everything up, just “reply” to this email with the word discord and I’ll add you to the waitlist.
🌱 No pressure. Just an open door if you want it.
Purdia Streams
Purdia streams are heating up and if you can, jump in when we go live.
Bring any questions you have about Purdia or the prop industry in general - nothing is off the table.
Talking everything out loud with Henry has become one of the most useful parts of my own process. It keeps me from feeling isolated and helps me stay grounded when the day gets noisy.

One reminder that continues to help me is to keep the setups boring and simple. The simpler it looks, the quieter my mind stays.
