SATO
Funded Futures Trader · Founder, SATO Trades
SATO is a real funded futures trader with over three months of live trading documented on YouTube. He founded SATO Trades to give the prop firm community an honest, no-fluff resource — based on accounts he actually trades.
What I trade
CME index futures — primarily ES, NQ, MES, and MNQ — across multiple funded accounts at the prop firms SATO Trades partners with. Strategy is orderflow- and structure-based intraday trading with strict risk management.
