Erik Johnson brings over two decades of market experience to the table, possessing a deep structural perspective that spans multiple market eras. He originally learned the foundational elements of charts—such as trendlines, support, and resistance—directly from his father twenty years ago. For the majority of his market journey, Erik focused exclusively on passive long-term stock accumulation, letting assets grow slowly over time.
However, the shift to active trading began around 2021 when he transitioned to deeper structural strategies. After experiencing the sharp volatility of day trading and absorbing severe market lessons early on, Erik systematically stripped the emotion away from his execution. Today, he approaches prop trading with an engineering mindset, treating each funded account as a separate scaling asset and utilizing professional leverage to generate recurring payouts.
Erik’s core philosophy is anchored in the mathematical reality of probability and the absolute necessity of non-obsession. He operates with the understanding that losing individual trades is entirely normal, focusing instead on ensuring his winners outpace his losses over a long series of executions.
He actively prevents emotional exhaustion by refusing to babysit open positions. Erik believes that staring obsessively at live tickers leads straight to forced manual interference and broken accounts. By establishing objective trailing rules and turning off the terminal once specific boundaries are hit, he preserves his mental clarity, treating trading as an administrative process rather than an emotional rollercoaster.
Erik deploys a highly objective, momentum-driven strategy tailored for high-liquidity digital assets like Ethereum (ETH). He blends momentum indicators with structural zones to capture rapid mid-trend expansions.
His strategic framework includes:
Multi-Indicator Confirmation: Erik uses a customized confluence tool combining low RSI levels (typically under 20) and MACD crossovers to generate rapid entry signals on the 15-minute timeframe.
Moving Average Trend Filtering: He maps the 200 Simple Moving Average (SMA) as a hard macro baseline, looking for clean pullbacks and explosive candle closes above or below the line to establish directional bias.
Supply and Demand Blocks: Execution is further refined by using automated supply and demand boxes (such as the PA Toolkit) to pinpoint target zones.
Rigid Candle-Close Trailing: To lock in profits seamlessly, he systematically moves his trailing stop-losses directly behind each closed candle.
He pairs this technical setup with a strict execution limit: once his account scales by 1% to 2% or he hits a single high-quality win, he instantly logs off for the day.
Erik’s methodical momentum rules and systematic discipline have locked in a consistent pacing of $7,000 on his funded accounts. Utilizing Hola Prime’s one-phase evaluations and strategic promotions, he scales his operational footprint efficiently across different asset pairs. Rather than keeping all his risk in one place, Erik channels his bi-weekly payout allocations back into starting fresh challenges, diversifying his funded funding streams to expand his long-term institutional backing.
Let the Strategy Breathe
Stop trying to intervene manually mid-trade. Set your structural invalidation levels, establish clear trailing parameters, and step away from the screen to avoid emotional mistakes.
Macro Indicators Clean Up the Noise
Relying on standard heavy filters like the 200 SMA provides a definitive line in the sand for macro trend direction, filtering out deceptive lower-timeframe traps.
Accept Losses As an Operational Cost
Individual losses mean nothing if your edge is mathematically sound over a large sample size. Know your historical win rate and let the math do the work.
One Good Trade Is Enough
Greed will quickly claw back realized gains. Once you hit a clean 1% to 2% target or secure a solid win, walk away from the desk immediately.
Diversify Your Funding Footprint
Don't rely on a single funded account. Use your early payouts to purchase low-cost evaluations, spreading your risk across multiple accounts and assets.
