I've been able to retire from my job in my early 40s.
Chris Rose spent years serving his country, then years more in the oil fields. The shifts ran 12 hours, and some years he was gone up to 300 days. He has two teenage girls who barely saw their dad.
He had been trying to trade for four years. First an academy teaching retail strategy, then another teaching smart money concepts. He was never profitable. He blew prop firm challenges. Then one Tuesday morning, a free Telegram message told him to watch two levels. He watched it with his small accountability group, four unprofitable traders, and the market did exactly what the message said it would. He made more in that one week than he had in four years, and he had not even paid for anything yet.
Inside the program, the work got specific. One strategy, built around the 9:30 opening range. One trade a day, which killed the tilt days that used to wreck him. Most mornings he was in and out in 8 to 25 minutes. His first week, he made $4,000.
He kept his oil-field job the whole time. He traded alongside it until the numbers made the decision for him. On the plane home from his last trip out, he texted Marco. "I quit my job today marco." "I retired from corporate life homie." "It still hasn't really hit me yet." He retired in his early 40s.
Now his girls see him every day. The worry about bills is gone. He went to the dealership and bought two brand new Toyotas, a 4Runner for his wife and a Tacoma for him. When he wants to drive a Lambo, he goes down to Nashville and rents one for the day. Eight months in, he had taken about $84,000 in payouts, and there has been more since.

On August 27, 2024, Jasmine posted her first message in the community: "I'm new here still in week 1. Exactly at what point do we learn the strategies?" Brand new. No habits to unlearn.
Three weeks later she was posting her own levels in the wins channel: taking out the highs and lows of Asia and London, entering on the 5-minute, waiting for displacement. Week four. On September 24 she posted her first payout screenshot: $38,431. The next morning she wrote "moving to a live account with MFF. Keeping $20k for myself and moving the rest to live. I believe in myself." Then, still that morning: "Headed to Waffle House and getting double hashbrowns."
On December 4 she went live funded at Topstep, her name at the top of that day's call-up list with $33,500 in payouts behind her. Since then: a day up $8,700 across two live accounts, trading one contract.

Gates Adams started trading almost thirty years ago, and his first experience was losing a million dollars of his mother's money a few months after his dad passed away. He got in and out of trading multiple times over those thirty years without success. In 2022 he decided to really make a go of it, tried for another couple of years, and still never saw a single payout or any profitability.
He kept coming back to Jesse's free YouTube content because it made sense, and something finally clicked with the strategies and ideas being taught. He was still struggling on his own, so he got on a call with the team and looked at the mentorship, which was a hard decision given the price and what he had already spent on trading education. Inside the program, the training on price action and how the market works gave him a much deeper understanding, and the live sessions were what shaped his success. Hearing someone talk through an entry model in real time, while it unfolded, taught him to be self reliant, and he now trades outside the streams using what he learned.
About five months after starting the program, he put in his first payout request, for five hundred dollars. Five months after that, last week, he passed fifty thousand dollars in payouts. He has recouped the cost of the program many times over through his profits.

Hyuk Park runs a business full time. He started with STB in late June 2024, and trading had to fit around that. In his own words, the hard part was never reading the charts. He says it becomes a mental game, where you have to build the discipline to manage your trades, control your risk, and know when not to trade.
He kept showing up and did the work on himself. He got funded and now trades consistently, collecting his first payouts while still running his business day to day.
In August 2026 he paid his son's college tuition at Penn State, and the money came straight from his prop firm payouts. The receipt exists.

Ten months before February 2025, Jayden was still figuring out prop firm rules. That is where he started inside Smart Trading Blueprint, working through the same material as everyone else.
What changed was how he used his time and the resources in the community. Other members pointed to his work ethic as the difference, and he went on to trade a model built on liquidity sweeps, iFVG, and targeting opposing liquidity, the same concepts he later explained on community live streams.
His payouts since are over $600,000, and Jesse flew him out to Miami to shoot a video about his story.

A year ago Maneq was stuck between places. He was studying something he did not want to study and was headed toward a job he did not want. He found futures trading while looking for ways to make money online, and after trading for a bit he lost a lot of money, to use his own words.
He came across Jesse's videos through Jesse SMC and could tell right away the teaching was real. He researched the community and was skeptical at first, but had a gut feeling it was the right decision to join. The live sessions were the difference for him. He started trading solo during the sessions, then rewatched Jesse's trades afterward, and day by day he has been closing the gap between his results and Jesse's.
Seven or eight months after joining, Maneq got funded. He is nineteen years old. He credits the accountability partners, the psychology coaches, and Jesse teaching how the markets work, and he says joining changed how he trades, if not the best.
Watching him read price and commentate on what price is telling you live, as the candles print, has been invaluable.
Kirsty had been trading with her trading partner Krista for just over three years when she joined. They had seen some success, but it was inconsistent, with no real direction and no real strategy. They jumped from mentor to mentor looking for a fix, and she had picked up plenty of theory along the way: candles, trends, fib retracements, support and resistance. Other courses added more theory but never got her where she needed to be.
She had followed ICT's teachings but found them long and convoluted, and it was Jesse's simplified videos that hooked her. She held off on the mentorship for a while because of the cost, then borrowed money from her parents and joined after a weekend of weighing up pros and cons with Krista. The difference was having a real mentor reviewing her trades. She got to the point where she could trade that session on her own without holding his hand.
She says she knows she is a successful, profitable trader now, though not yet fully consistent. Jesse trusted her enough to make her a coach on his platform, and she trades live with a group Monday to Friday in London. She says she would have probably given up trading without STB.

Krista had been trading for three years before she joined. She calls it a roller coaster. She was getting payouts but had no consistency. Looking back, she says she was gambling. She could not have told you what strategy she was using or why she was entering trades. She was going in blind. She had also been copying strategies from YouTube gurus, and when they failed, she assumed the problem was her.
She had followed Jesse on YouTube for about six months before joining Smart Trading Blueprint. The way he explained things clicked for her. Trading live with him three times a week, she learned patience. She remembers watching him wait for confirmation while big bearish candles formed, wondering why he would not enter, only to watch the move turn into a big wick. She also learned to trade her own way, collect her own data, and go back and see what needed adjusting. That, she says, has been the biggest change.
She says she is now consistent and has data to back her. Her strategies are her own, not copied from anyone else. The anxiety she used to feel entering trades is gone, because Jesse taught her it is okay to lose as long as she followed her plan. She says joining the mentorship was her biggest achievement, and it changed her life.

Shane Csiszar understood plenty of trading concepts but felt lost when it came to building them into a system that made money consistently.
