One community. One goal. Funded.

Get your life back.
Get funded.

I'm Adrian. Father, former automotive business owner, and now a full-time futures trader. For nine years I was successful on paper but absent where it counted. Trading gave me my time back. After three years of finding what worked and becoming consistently profitable, in February 2026 I knew this was it. The way to be present, and to build a better life for my family.

Now I'm building what I wished existed when I was in that position. A real process for traders who are serious about the markets, and serious about being present for their family too.

The Journey.

From your first evaluation to a funded account. This is what Combine 2 Funded is built around. Not just passing the combine, but staying funded and building the habits that make it repeatable.

The path

Seven steps. One community the whole way.

1

Express interest

Get on the list, connect, and step into a live futures trading community built around one goal.

2

Learn the setups

Two clean strategies: Momentum Break and Momentum Reclaim. No random noise to chase.

3

Trade live together

Daily live sessions with real-time chart discussion. You'll never sit alone wondering what to do with a setup.

4

Build better habits

Patience, discipline, risk management, and fewer impulsive trades. The foundation before any funding.

5

Review and improve

Chart markups, trade recaps, and honest lessons from every win and loss, including the ones that hurt.

6

Pass the evaluation

Most traders don't fail on strategy. They fail on the rules. We stay inside those limits together.

7

Stay funded

Getting funded is a milestone, not a finish line. Protect the account, stay consistent, let the payouts follow.

What you'll learn

Two strategies. One community. Zero guessing.

Strategy 1

Momentum Breakout

Trade with the strength of the move. We identify high-probability breakout points where price has built energy and is ready to push, entering when momentum confirms, not before. Clean setups, clear entries, defined risk.

Strategy 2

Reclaiming Momentum

When price pulls back and reclaims a key level with conviction, that's the signal. We wait for the market to show its hand and re-enter with strength. One of the highest-quality setups in futures trading when done correctly.

Community

Live Daily Sessions

Every day we're in the markets together: pre-market prep, real-time chart discussion, and post-session recaps. We work through it as a group, every single session.

Mindset

Discipline & Patience

The strategy is only as good as the person executing it. We build the habits that keep you out of bad trades as much as we focus on getting into good ones. No clean setup, no trade. That rule alone will save most accounts.

The mindset

  • No clean setup, no trade
  • Protect the account first
  • Process over hype
  • Payouts follow discipline

Mind first. Markets second. Results last.

Meet your mentor

I'm Adrian.
Former business owner. Absent father.
Until I decided to change — and trade full-time.

Adrian, your trading mentor at Combine 2 Funded

For nine years, I poured everything into a business I built from nothing — and it took me that long to realise what it was costing me.

Long days, physical work, and the kind of grind that can leave you exhausted before the week is even halfway through. I had a business, I had income, but I was missing the thing that mattered most. I was missing my daughter growing up.

My wife and daughter are everything to me. And I was spending the best years watching from the outside, too tired to be present, too locked into the day-to-day to ever think about a different way. I needed to change something.

The idea that I could build something that gave me more control over my time instead of consuming all of it. That's what pulled me toward trading.

The reality

I didn't just discover trading and immediately go full-time. It took three years.

Three years of on-and-off effort, the same cycles repeating: make progress, give it back, question everything, start again. I kept looking for the edge that would change things, when the real problem was that I was overcomplicating it.

What changed wasn't a new strategy. It was simplifying. Picking two clean setups, learning them properly, and actually following the rules I set for myself. In February 2026, I went full-time.

"Trading improved when I stopped trying to make money on every move and started trying to execute well."

Why I built Combine 2 Funded

Not to sell a shortcut. Not to promise everyone will get funded. And not to create traders who rely on me for every entry.

I wanted to build what I wished I had. Someone who would show their real process, not a highlight reel. Someone who would explain the reasoning behind every decision, not just post the wins.

Someone who understood what it means to have real responsibilities, a family, a career, limited time, and still build something serious in the markets.

What I trade

NQ & Gold

Nasdaq 100 and Gold futures. Two markets with clear character and strong intraday momentum.

Two setups

Momentum Break and Momentum Reclaim. Clean, repeatable, and built around top-down analysis from higher timeframes.

Full transparency

I share wins, losses, missed trades, and no-trade days. Because that's what real trading looks like.

Who this is for

If you have a career, a business, or a family, and you're trying to build something serious in the markets without losing everything else in the process: this is built for you.

People with real responsibilities and limited time don't need more noise. They need a clear process, the right tools, and someone who's been through it.

What I believe

Getting a payout doesn't make you a good trader
Getting funded is a milestone, not a finish line
More trades does not mean more opportunity
Risk management matters more than any setup
A losing trade can be a good trade. A winning trade can be a bad trade.
No setup, no trade. Patience is the edge most traders skip.
The goal is your independence, not your dependence on me

FAQ

Everything you
need to know.

If you have a question that isn't answered here, reach out on Instagram or shoot us an email.

We focus on TopStep. All strategy, risk rules, and session content is built around TopStep's evaluation structure and rules, so you know exactly what you're working toward.

We trade primarily MNQ (Micro Nasdaq) and MGC (Micro Gold). These are micro contracts, which means they're well suited to trading inside evaluation risk limits without overexposing the account.

We run two live sessions every trading day:

  • Asia Session: 10:00am to 12:00pm AEST
  • Pre-London & London Open: 4:00pm to 6:00pm AEST

All sessions are recorded, so if you miss one you can watch it back on our private YouTube stream archive.

No problem. Every session is recorded and uploaded to our private YouTube stream archive, available to all members. You can catch up at any time that suits your schedule.

Combine 2 Funded is best suited to traders who already have some experience with futures trading. This is a live mentorship where we trade together, follow the same strategy, and hold each other accountable. If you're brand new to trading, we'd recommend getting familiar with futures basics before joining.

Mentorship pricing and availability will be shared directly with interested traders. Use the form on this page to express your interest and you'll be the first to know.

Everything happens inside a private Discord server. That's where the strategy, chat, accountability, and session links all live. You'll get access as soon as your membership is active.

Not necessarily. You can join the community while you're preparing to start your evaluation. Having the strategy and live sessions behind you before you press "go" on your combine is actually a great way to approach it.

We focus on two setups: Momentum Breakout, entering when price breaks with conviction and momentum confirms the move, and Reclaiming Momentum, entering when price pulls back and reclaims a key level with strength. Both are built to work within TopStep's risk rules.

We're currently accepting expressions of interest. Express your interest here and I'll be in touch to see if it's the right fit.
