How a Real Prop Trading Desk Works (No BS): Inside the World of Professional Traders
Beyond the influencers and flexes — this is what actually happens inside a real prop shop.
It’s the trading classics that usually get all the love…
Market Wizards, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, Trading in the Zone.
But now and then, a lesser-known gem flies under the radar.
And One Good Trade is exactly that.
ONE GOOD TRADE
I bought it 15 years ago.
Now I’m listening to the audiobook again, and it’s still packed with gems.
Yeah, it shows its age in places. And I bet Mike would cringe at some of the old-school tactics… but hey, wouldn’t we all?! (some of my old YT videos ffs 
)
What makes it great?
It’s an honest look inside a real prop firm. It shows you the numbers, the personalities, the process. It pulls back the curtain on a world most retail traders never get to see.
If you love trading, it’s definitely worth a read (or a re-read).
Makes me want to open a trading office…
