From the Desk of Aaron Korbs
Currently trading while traveling the world...
December, 2024
Born in a cult, no high-school diploma, from nowhere Arkansas.
Not the best setup by most peoples’ standards.
Spoiler-alert: Definitely not a Wall Street guy.
Blue-collar worker, pressure washing windows in my local town, trying to make ends meet. Scraped together my first $10,000, put it into trading, thought it was my ticket to freedom.
Lost every penny of it.
Later learned I could get funded with institutional capital. Burnt over 109 funded accounts. This is where most people would have quit. And to be clear, I could have convinced myself to do the same. But I didn’t.
I hated how I was living. Forced to stay at my parents' basement because I couldn't afford to rent a place on my own. I wasn’t living at all.
Waking up to an alarm that always seemed to ring out in the best part of my sleep, stumbling to my car half asleep to slave away at something I had no passion for.
Barely any time to spend with the people I love who brought me joy. Not taking care of my health the way I wanted.
Each day I despised what my life had become more and more. I had grown to feel like the game of life was rigged against me.
But I still knew there were people that came from nothing just like me, out there living a life of freedom for themselves and their loved ones.
I was determined to get a piece of it.
So I peeled back the onion and got to the root of what I was doing wrong.
To be clear, peeling this onion took me two years, countless sleepless nights, and over $30,000 in debt, mostly paid to gurus making empty promises. But in those empty promises was the truth I was looking for.
The truth is that most retail traders fail, and they fail hard. But why?
On the cusp of failure myself, what I learned changed my life forever. Most of us fail at trading not because of the market but simply because
we’ve been taught to pay attention to the wrong things.
During one of my final late-night browsing sessions, barely able to keep my eyes open after a full day of manual labor in my pressure washing “business,” I found an intriguing tool that had been used by hedge funds on Wall Street.
They claimed it was the reason these hedge funds are known for beating the market no matter what’s happening in the world. I was skeptical, but as I dug deeper, it finally clicked.
Enter, The Volume Profile.
The only trading strategy that looks at real-time information and not past information trying to predict the future.
At my fingertips, I now had a tool that empowered me to finally explain why I was winning and why I had been losing all this time! I felt like a blind man regaining sight.
Because of this, I could now learn from my mistakes with pinpoint accuracy. No longer just a guess or more trial and error that had already cost me many thousands.
I found I could now manage my trading account like the business I always wanted it to be while actually knowing how much money I would make in a given month.
No guessing, no wishing, no hoping. All those feelings disappeared.
I no longer needed them.
The feeling was liberating.
I finally felt in control.
I finally felt empowered when I lost a trade because I knew why and how not to repeat my mistake twice.
I finally felt deserving of my wins because, again, I knew why.
I was now able to replicate my wins and, of course, confident to grow them bigger.
Fast forward to today, as I’m writing this to you now, reminiscing on this
crazy journey, I am certain that whether I am in the Unites States or Mexico or Thailand, I will average $10,000-15,000/month any given year year.
I’m also certain that after my 2-4 hours trading session, I’ll still have time to do what I’m truly passionate about these days, which is no longer just trading, but seeing more of this beautiful world we live in, places I had never heard of growing up in nowhere USA.
But also seeing the look in my students’ eyes when they finally have their own lightbulb moment in trading that changes their life and family’s life forever just like it did mine.
If you’ve read this far, chances are you’re something like me.
You know there’s more for you in this life, and you’re determined to go out there and grab it.
If my story hits home like it has for so many of our students, book a time to speak with me or my team below, and we’ll see if we can possibly help fast-track you to a life of freedom with trading.
Sincerely,
Aaron Korbs
Aaron Korbs is a self-taught full-time professional futures trader with eight years of experience in the markets using order flow, auction market theory, and his specialty – the Volume Profile.
At Tradacc we will teach you everything you need to know to grow a thriving trading business. No stone is left unturned even if you are brand new to the markets.
We trade Futures markets, specifically the S&P500 Futures Contracts (ES minis and micros). These products offer high liquidity and leverage, allowing efficient capital use and quick market access. They also provide opportunities for hedging and speculating in both rising and falling markets.
Absolutely. Even if you don’t know what a futures contract is, we explain everything in our training from A-Z. All we ask is that you come with an open mind and put in the work required to absorb the information.
Yes! One of our clients’ favorite features of our Profile Method training program is the inclusion of regular LIVE ZOOM CALLS with Aaron himself! You can ask questions, see the trades he is placing in real-time, and let him know what you are doing if you have a trading idea you want to run past him.
Realistically you can’t expect to be an amazing trader within a week or even a month, but with our highly structured training, we ensure your progress is as rapid as possible, with some clients’ becoming consistently profitable after only a few months of trading. A more conservative estimation would be 6-12 months if you are not studying daily.
No. The beauty of the markets are that they are open most of the time so all you need is a time period that suits you. Korbs usually trades 2-3 hours/day and earns an average of $1,000/day.
We don’t use low-level free indicators designed to make retail traders lose money. We focus on real institutional tools that give an edge, such as footprint, volume profile, order flow, and auction market theory.
No, you don't need a lot of capital to start trading with our method. We guide you through stages starting from simulation mode, progressing to a funded account provided by a Prop Firm, then moving to a small real-money “micro” account, and finally to a larger real-money “mini” account. This structured approach allows you to prove your trading edge and significantly reduce the risk of ruin.
Institutional Capital refers to funds provided by Prop Firms, which are third-party firms that fund traders based on their performance. This means you can trade larger amounts without risking your own capital, as the Prop Firm provides the funding while sharing in the profits.
Our trading style is short-term intraday. We place trades during regular US market hours and ensure no positions are left open overnight. The US market hours for the S&P 500 Futures are from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM EST. This approach allows us to capitalize on daily market movements while managing risk effectively by closing all trades before the market closes.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
