In this episode, Ilan chats with full-time algo trader Samuel Jackson about his journey from losing money in crypto to building profitable trading strategies with EA Studio and FSB Pro. Sam shares how he moved away from prop firms to focus on live accounts, what tools and risk rules he uses, and how he manages 10+ trading accounts with minimal stress. They talk about the ups and downs of trading, what makes a good robot, and why patience and real testing matter more than chasing quick wins. If you're into algo trading or want to learn how to build and run bots the smart way, you’ll get a ton of value from this one.
