(Proprietary) Trader, Trading Coach & Course Leader

I help empower beginning traders to take control of their (newfound) passion by teaching them how to trade responsibly.


The difference between losing or making money is whether you gamble (fruitless random trading) or approach trading systematically (according to a solid pre-defined set of trading rules).


My experience stems from trial and error and is shaped by emotional labor and hard work. I nearly lost my entire trading capital and learned to trade the hard way until I found a system that worked.


This course aims to teach young professionals who are successful in their world but new to trading or unsuccessful. This course is for those who understand trading is not a "get-rich-quick-scheme" and want to learn how to responsibly trade and grow their trading capital.
