Background: College Dropout, Army Reserve, YouTube
In his channel description, Craig says he started posting in 2015 to document his decision to drop out of college at 19 and become a day trader, and that the channel grew out of years of "trial & error, mistakes and learning". His LinkedIn profile lists six years in the U.S. Army Reserve (May 2015 to May 2021) in a power-generation role, and names him founder and CEO of Inevitrade from 2018. That record is self-reported. FuturesHive has not seen service records.
He no longer posts under the Inevitrade name. The main channel is his personal one, @craig_percoco, and the official site links it alongside Instagram (@craig_percoco), TikTok (@craigtradez) and X (@craig_percoco1).
What Inevitrade Is
Inevitrade is Craig's education business. As of October 2026, inevitrade.com is an application page: prospective students fill in a short form and, if they qualify, book a "strategy call" before being offered a program. The site's tagline is "Master Your Mindset, Master Your Trading."
The business has been around for years. In 2021, INEVITRADE LLC announced a free crypto training program and said Craig had taught more than 400 students through its paid crypto course. Earlier versions of this profile quoted larger student and Discord member counts that we could not verify, so they have been removed.
Read the disclaimer: Inevitrade's own site says Craig's trading experience "is not typical", that it does "not track the typical results" of its customers, and that "most day traders are NOT profitable." His YouTube descriptions also disclose that many links earn him affiliate commissions.
What His YouTube Channel Covers
Recent uploads fall into a few repeating formats:
- Beginner tutorials: how to start day trading, how to use TradingView, and full "course" videos
- Strategy videos: scalping, price action and top-down analysis
- Live trading sessions: recorded sessions with the day's P&L in the title
- Crypto investing: longer-term crypto plans alongside the day-trading content
The beginner tutorials cover similar ground to TJR's free Boot Camp playlist on candlesticks, trends and market structure, the other day-trading channel past a million subscribers that we profile.
Single-session profit figures in video titles are marketing, not a track record. Judge any educator by verified, long-run risk-adjusted results, which no public YouTube channel provides. The closest public benchmark is a real-money competition record such as Fabio Valentini's Robbins World Cup placings.
What Traders Can Take From His Approach
- Mindset first: his tagline puts psychology ahead of setups. Our trading psychology guide for futures traders turns that idea into concrete rules.
- Start small: beginner-focused content only helps if the risk is small too. Micro E-mini futures (MES/MNQ) let you practise at one-tenth of ES/NQ size.
- Fixed risk per trade: a live-trading clip shows one session. Your survival depends on sizing every trade, as covered in our futures risk management framework.
- Compare educators: see how a different, prop-firm-focused model works in our PB Blake and PB Trading profile, and how Andrea Cimi teaches from order flow and volume data rather than price action alone.
