About Franca
Franca Kraut is the COO and co-founder of SFX Funded, and runs the side of the business a trader meets when something has gone wrong: payouts, reviews, disputes, and the support queue.
That is why her writing is about process rather than product. The mental game after you pass, what a losing week does to your decisions, the routine that holds on a bad day, and why the traders who last are not the ones taking the biggest positions.
She writes the pieces that sit between the rulebook and the trader: why a rule exists, what it protects you from, and how to build a week that survives contact with a real market.
Every piece is checked against the same rules the trading floor is held to, so nothing here contradicts what support tells you on the day.
