Cole Hendrix

Funded futures trader at VettedProp. Based in Chicago, US

Cole Hendrix started trading the ES in a Chicago prop shop and went out on his own when the firm closed its retail desk. For the last few years he has traded almost entirely through funded accounts, which means he has lived inside the rulebooks: trailing drawdowns that ratchet against you, consistency rules that quietly fail you on payout day, activation fees buried in the fine print. He keeps a spreadsheet of every firm he has funded with, what the eval actually cost after resets, and which rule bit him. VettedProp is that spreadsheet, kept current. He does not post screenshots of green days and he does not promise you will get funded.

Experience

I have funded accounts with more than a dozen futures prop firms and tracked the real cost and rules of each.

• Nine years trading futures, several of them on funded accounts
• Has passed and failed evaluations across more than a dozen firms
• Tracks real eval cost after resets and activation, not the headline price
• Reads the payout and drawdown rules line by line
