I'm Kevin Krebs.
Long-time trader, MNQ futures specialist, and the founder of Beast Mode Trading. I built Beast Mode because I lived through every mistake a prop-firm trader can make — and I wanted other traders to skip the parts that almost broke me.
From job-to-job to a six-figure monthly target.
For most of the 2010s I bounced between jobs that paid the bills but never felt like a future. I tried the usual side hustles. None of them moved the needle.
Then COVID-19 hit in 2020. The world stopped, the markets did anything but, and I found prop-firm futures trading. I thought I'd figured it out within a few weeks.
I was wrong.
Over the next two years I failed more than 100 challenges and funded accounts. Revenge trades. Oversized lots after losers. Trying to scalp the open with no plan. I broke every prop-firm rule that exists and most of them more than once. I was bleeding money and confidence in equal amounts.
The breakthrough wasn't a magic indicator. It was a repeatable game plan — a strict structure for entries, sizing, risk caps, and shutdown rules — and the discipline to follow it the same way every NY session.
Since then I've put 10,000+ hours into mastering trading concepts, studying charts, and specifically reverse-engineering what wins on prop-firm rule profiles. I trade primarily MNQ futures and have mastered it — the same playbook ports cleanly to MES, MGC, NQ, ES, and GC.
My goal is a six-figure monthly income — $100,000+ — and complete financial freedom. Beast Mode is the system that's gotten me there, productized so you don't have to bleed two years of resets the way I did.

Three principles I trade by — every session.
Every algorithm, indicator, and trade-room call inside Beast Mode is built on these three rules. They're non-negotiable.
Repeatable, not magical
The edge is a strict, boring plan executed the same way every NY session — no chasing signals, no revenge trades.
Mastery over variety
One contract, one playbook, deeply understood. MNQ first; everything else (MES, MGC, NQ, ES, GC) ports cleanly.
Discipline beats prediction
Funded accounts die from rule breaks, not bad calls. Beast Mode is built around the rules first, the entries second.
