Best Prop Firm Traders: How Justind9319 Made $9,028 With 38 Trades

What separates the best prop firm traders from the rest? It's not how many trades they take — it's how much each trade is worth.

Justind9319 took only 38 trades in a month and pulled in $9,028. That's $238 per trade — one of the highest per-trade averages on the DTR Trading leaderboard.

The Numbers

38 trades in a month. That's roughly 2 trades per trading day. Based on their trading data, Justind9319 is one of the most selective traders in the top 10.

Trading Style Analysis

Justind9319's data reveals a patient, high-conviction trader.

With only 2 trades per day on average:

• Extreme selectivity — most of the session is spent observing, not trading
• High per-trade value ($238) — each trade carries significant position size and conviction
• Low total trade count — suggests strict entry criteria that filter out marginal setups
• Strong risk-reward — likely targeting larger moves with well-placed stops

This is the "sniper" approach to trading. While scalpers like Chuck H (346 trades, $28/trade) profit through volume, Justind9319 profits through precision. Both work — they're just different expressions of edge.

The $238 per-trade average across only 38 trades also suggests low variance. If these were scattered wins and losses, the net average would be much lower. This kind of consistency points to a well-defined, repeatable process.

Key Lessons from Justind9319's Approach

1. Two trades a day can generate $9K/month. For traders who feel pressured to "be active," Justind9319's data is a reality check. Two quality trades per day is enough.

2. High per-trade averages come from patience. You can't average $238/trade if you're forcing entries. That number requires waiting for the highest-probability setups and sizing into them with confidence.

3. The best traders often trade the least. Look at the top 10: the highest per-trade averages belong to the lowest-frequency traders (Deanmain: $642/trade on 13 trades, Justind9319: $238/trade on 38 trades). There's a pattern here.

4. Less screen time, same results. With 2 trades per day, Justind9319 might only spend 30-60 minutes actively trading. The rest is preparation, analysis, and waiting. That's a lifestyle most traders dream about.

What Makes the Best Traders "Best"

• They have a defined style — whether scalping or sniping, they know what they are
• They're consistent — their per-trade averages hold up over dozens of trades
• They're part of a community — 111 traders, $395K in a month, $3.3M all-time

Justind9319 didn't need to reinvent trading. They needed a repeatable edge, the patience to wait for it, and the discipline to execute it 38 times.
