Welcome!

Many successful traders, including myself, started just like you - feeling stuck, doubting their potential, thinking they were doomed to a life or rigid schedules, nightmare bosses and financial insecurity.

Like many people, I spent years going to school and working for someone else with the hopes that one day I'd make enough to live comfortably. However, over the years I realized that the incremental increases in wage didn’t amount to much when compared to the increased costs of living in Canada. In what seemed like just a few short years, I watched the price of housing, transportation, education and food double in price. I came to the bitter realization that I was priced out of the market and was no better off than before!

All the while, I couldn’t help but wonder how so many people were able to afford such extravagant things… I remember thinking “if I worked 20 years, had no expenses and saved every penny, I still couldn’t afford that!”

I knew that “hard work” alone wasn’t the only reason these people were so successful - I watched my family work their ass off for 30 years and they aren’t wealthy. What was even more concerning was how little my friends and family seemed to care… Everyone was so complacent with their mediocre lives and showed very little interest in learning how to increase their earning potential. Sure, they’d complain about traffic and not having enough time or money, but it didn’t seem to bother them enough to make a change.

Unfortunately, I realized that most people are destined to live quiet lives of mediocrity - content with going to school, getting a job, paying off their debt and dream of retirement. They’d unknowingly dedicate their lives to supporting a system that was designed to keep them enslaved. The schools, banks and government all profit from your student loans, car loans, mortgage rates, interest payments and taxes. There’s a reason why they don’t teach you about these things in school. 

If I could give you one piece of advice to help transform your life it would be this - learn how to invest and trade. If you have any desire to escape the rat race, you must learn how to get your money to work for you. Understanding the financial industry is easier than you think and you don’t need much time or money to get started. Some of the most successful investors started with nothing more than an internet connection and a willingness to learn. That’s exactly how I started and it changed my life.

‍Becoming a Trader
‍
Like many aspiring traders, I was driven by the allure of day trading’s swift pace and the tantalizing prospect of clicking my way to fortunes. Yet, as any seasoned trader will tell you, the reality of becoming a profitable trader is anything but simple.

As I embarked on my journey, I dug into the world of technical analysis - studying candlesticks, chart patterns and volume - believing that one of these tools would give me an edge as a trader. While these tools helped me experience some early success, I still struggled to remain consistently profitable.

The daily grind of watching stocks rise and fall was also starting to take a physical toll on me. The constant market monitoring, the midnight checks on stock futures, and the emotional rollercoaster from euphoria to despair with every market shift was exhausting. This relentless stress began to impact not just my trading but my health, teaching me a valuable lesson: no amount of wealth is worth compromising your well-being.

‍The revelation that intraday trading was unsustainable, steered me towards a more passive trading strategy. As I worked to reduce my risk and extend my time-frame, I quickly eliminated my fear of losing money. I no longer suffered from FOMO or panic selling and started making consistent, logical decisions. The result? A 95% win-rate and consistent, triple-figure returns. I realized that while I had gained a great understanding of the technical aspects of trading, I had jumped over the most important part - my psychology and risk tolerance.

This shift in approach, focusing on the long-term and weeding out the noise of daily market movements, has made me come to view most trading platform metrics as shiny objects designed with two goals in mind: to encourage more trading and to keep traders locked into short-term thinking. Trading platforms are designed to make you trade more, not better. They profit from your anxiety, not your success.

Successful trading isn’t about getting rich quick, it’s about building real wealth while keeping your sanity intact. Join me as we begin our journey by exploring the fundamentals of technical analysis, uncovering genuinely useful indicators, and how to become consistently profitable by learning to master your emotions.

Here's to your success in the trading world 🍻

Sincerely,
