Who is Casinator Trades?

Casinator Trades is the channel of a trader who introduces himself on camera simply as Casey. The channel description states the plan plainly: day trade futures with prop firms, and document the road to becoming a successful trader. He has kept to it since March 2024. Working on Pacific time, he trades Nasdaq futures on prop-firm accounts and films nearly all of it. That includes the payouts, the losing weeks and the stretches back on evaluations that he calls “eval jail”. The channel now has more than 9,000 subscribers and 1.7 million views across 742 uploads.

He came to futures the long way around. Before trading, he spent about three years reselling sneakers, which was his full-time job until 2023. That year he started trading stock options with his own money, and by his own account it cost him. By December 2023 he had stopped trading his own capital and moved entirely to prop-firm accounts. He credits their rules with making him a better trader, above all the daily loss limit and the consistency rule. “If you cannot be profitable with a prop firm, you cannot be profitable in live trading,” he said in 2024. He has said on stream that he found Apex by watching Trades by Matt and NuttyBar post their payouts there. In 2024, which he calls the year he became profitable, he rotated through stacks of funded accounts at Apex, Topstep, Take Profit Trader and MyFundedFutures.

The spine of the channel is the Road To series, a video diary of his payouts toward a running target. Season one ran weekly for 25 weeks, from July to December 2024. He closed it with a full accounting of what he had spent on evaluations against what he had been paid. Season two began in January 2025 and reached episode 46 in September 2026. The episodes mix trading with the rest of his life: gym sessions, fishing trips to the lake in a 2007 Honda Fit he calls “the humble Honda”, and two cats who wander into frame. In spring 2025 he spent two weeks in Europe, from Paris to Rome and Venice, and filmed a day of trading in Rome.

Around the diary sit the practical videos. His Tradovate group-trading tutorial, published in August 2024, is his most-watched upload, and he has followed it with guides for Quantower, Tradesyncer, Tradecopia and TradingView. Payout walkthroughs show the request process at Topstep, Apex Trader Funding, Take Profit Trader, MyFundedFutures, Tradeify, Lucid Trading and FundedNext. His comparison videos line up five firms’ account rules side by side. In early 2026 he also filmed three “MAX funded” runs day by day, each an attempt to fill a firm’s limit on funded accounts. The titles show him getting there all three times.

He is just as open about the tough stretches. After a difficult 2025, he opened 2026 with a video setting that year beside 2024 and naming what had changed. He has said 2025 brought him closer to God. On 5 January 2026 he went live for the first time, and he has since streamed more than 170 times on weekdays at 9 am Pacific. The chat he greets as “champions” gets regular account giveaways. In mid-2026 he added casinatortrades.com, which compares nine futures prop firms and offers consistency and drawdown calculators. His free Discord has about 1,200 members. All of it adds up to an open logbook of the prop-firm road, kept by a working trader for anyone setting out on it.
