HARBINGER INSIGHTS

Honest reviews of prop firms, brokers, and the trading industry — from someone who spent 12 years inside it.

Hi, I’m Daniel. I’ve passed prop challenges at FTMO, FundedNext, and Topstep. I’ve blown funded accounts. I’ve withdrawn profit splits. Before that I traded equity volatility for five years at a Chicago prop firm and ran a sleeve at a multi-strategy fund. This site is what I wish I had when I was figuring out which firms to trust.
