Badr Edge
About

Built from real trading. Refined through research.

Badr Edge is an independent futures research desk, built on more than three years of active trading and shaped by data, testing and disciplined execution.

Experience

I've traded futures actively for more than three years, mostly through prop firms. That has meant passing evaluations, trading funded accounts under each firm's drawdown rules and moving up to the live funded stage at three firms, with the work now progressing toward live trading at size. Alongside the prop accounts, I trade personal CFD brokerage accounts.

Execution is a discretionary candlestick price-action process, built over two years and traded mostly in gold and US index futures across the Asia, London and New York sessions.

The record

No P&L screenshots here. What I can show is that the process has been checked by the people with the most reason to doubt it: the firms that pay out on it.

VerificationOriginals on fileFirm-issued certificates, with personal and account details removed.

Prop-firm payouts are paid under each firm's own rules, often from simulated accounts. They are not investment returns, they are not an offer, and they don't predict anyone's future results, including mine.

Why it exists

The prop-firm world is loud: screenshots of wins, promises of fast funding, strategies sold on perfect backtests. Little of it answers the questions that decide whether an account survives. How big is my real cushion today? How many losses in a row can this size take? Does my edge still look like the one I planned with?

Every tool here started as something I built for my own accounts. The research is published in the open, and all of it requires forward testing.

The name

Badr is Arabic for the full moon: the night you can see the whole picture. The edge is the process, not a promise of results.
