RAFAEL TRADING

INDEPENDENT FUTURES TRADER · FULLY ONLINE

We trade the market.
Then we teach it.

Futures on CME Group markets, traded every U.S. session with our own and program-funded capital — and one-on-one mentorship for traders who want to get funded too.

01 · THE CRAFT

Funded-account trading, done for a living

Rafael Luis Ribeiro trades futures full time. He qualified through the evaluations of funded-trader programs — Topstep among them — and now trades program capital alongside his own, session after session.

No client money, no signals sold, no promises of easy returns. Just the craft: reading the tape, taking the setups, respecting the limits. Screens on at the open, flat by the close.

The desk goes wherever the trader goes — all it takes is a screen and the U.S. session hours.

02 · THE METHOD

Survive first. Profit second.

Funded accounts are lost in a day and earned over months. Everything in the method exists to keep the account alive.

/01

Hard daily limits

Every session runs against a fixed daily loss limit. Hit it, stop — the program enforces it, and so does the routine. Tomorrow needs an account to trade.

/02

Sizing before setups

Position size is decided from risk, never from conviction. Small when unproven, scaled only when the day's context earns it.

/03

A repeatable session

Same preparation, same hours, same review — every trading day. The edge is not one great trade; it is the routine that survives the bad ones.

03 · MENTORSHIP

Learn it one-on-one

The firm teaches what it practises: trading education and mentorship, online, a few clients at a time. Sessions are built on live markets and real funded-account rules — not slides.

  • Get funded. Evaluation rules, targets, and the failure points that end most attempts in the first week.
  • Manage the risk. Daily limits, position sizing and drawdown control, applied to actual trading days.
  • Keep the discipline. An execution routine that holds when the market pushes back.
Ask about mentorship

Education only — no investment advice, no signals, no management of client funds.
