An Insight Into

My Personal Life

When I'm not trading, coaching or building my business, I enjoy spending my time outdoors, exploring the world with friends, nerding out on a great book, exercising (lifting, mma, sports), having deep philosophical conversations about life, oh..and eating great food, lots of food!

I would consider myself a thrill seeker and adventurer - always beating to my own drum and carving my own path in life! I don't buy into limitations & narratives imposed on us by our own mind's, environment or society and I know everyone reading this is capable of sooo much more than you think. I love a good challenge and I am constantly in pursuit of my full potential!

A holistic approach

What does it mean

My philosophy is simple: excelling in trading isn’t just about nailing the technical skills; it’s about mastering yourself on every level—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Trading is one of the toughest games out there, and it demands more than just solid analysis and risk management. It requires full-on commitment to becoming the best version of yourself.

This path isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. When you embrace this holistic approach, you’ll see exponential growth not just in your trading, but in every area of your life. It’s about thriving, not just surviving.

My Philosophy

Master Your Mind, Master the Markets

self
awareness

Mindfulness and self-reflection is the cornerstone of successful trading. By recognizing your own psychological patterns and biases, you gain the power to make objective decisions that align with your strategy. This deep understanding of yourself helps you avoid the common pitfalls that trip up most traders, keeping you grounded and focused on what truly matters in the market.

emotional
management

Emotional management is what keeps us calm and rational when the market gets volatile, things don't go our way, or life throws us a curveball. Understanding how emotions like fear, greed, and anger impact us are essential for making consistently sound decisions from the right state of mind. It’s not about suppressing these emotions, but learning how to navigate them with clarity and control, so they don’t govern our trading & our life.

continuous learning

Evolution is the lifeblood of trading success. Markets are constantly changing and life is chaotic. To stay ahead, you need to be relentless in your pursuit of personal & trading development. Embrace the process of growth, adapt to the shifts, and keep evolving—because that’s how you stay in the game and thrive.

Bulletproof Confidence

When you commit to the right actions, you start to prove to yourself that you can handle whatever comes your way. Each small success reinforces your belief in your ability to succeed, creating a solid foundation of confidence that grows over time. You’ll find that the highs and lows of trading affect you less because you’ve built a deep, unbreakable trust in your ability to navigate any situation.

Mental Resilience

Cultivating mental resilience & fortitude enables you to bounce back from setbacks, learn from mistakes, and keep moving forward despite inevitable challenges. Losses are going to happen in trading & life. By learning how to reframe how you perceive these experiences, you will be less impacted and have the opportunity to grow stronger and wiser in the process!

physical
health

Maintaining your overall health is crucial for trading performance. Physical and mental well-being affects decision-making abilities, concentration, and stamina, all of which are essential for the focus and clarity needed in the high-stress environment of trading. All of the above are essential for the calm, focused and clear mind needed in the high-stress environment of trading.

My journey

Characterized by ups and downs

Like many seasoned traders, my journey started off as a rollercoaster. It was a chaotic mix of information overload, constantly switching strategies, and battling emotional volatility. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any tougher, I realized that trading has a knack for exposing your weaknesses—it’s like it sends heat-seeking missiles straight to your areas of incompetency, unhealed wounds, and limiting beliefs, spotlighting everything that needs work.

I found myself stuck in a frustrating cycle of boom and bust. I’d trade well, make money, get greedy, and then lose it all as soon as my emotions took over. Consistency was elusive, lasting only a few days or weeks at a time. I’d blame the strategy, the mentor, the market—heck, even the weather—for my own mistakes. For a while, my emotions, ego, and limiting beliefs were running the show, controlling my trading potential and my life.

Self Mastery

taking responsibility

Around the 1.5 to 2-year mark, the frustration and pain from repeating the same cycles became unbearable. I knew that if I wanted to keep pursuing trading, I had to make some radical changes.

So, I stopped playing the victim, took full responsibility for my actions, and committed to making serious adjustments in both my trading and my life. I poured my time, money, and energy into self-development, doing the inner work, and learning with an open, focused mind.

This was the most potent catalyst for growth I could have imagined, laying the groundwork for massive breakthroughs in both my trading and personal life.The good news? You don’t have to endure the same painful cycles that I and many others have gone through. There’s a much simpler, more direct, and far less agonizing path to success in this industry!

After years of trials, tribulations, and dedicating myself to self-mastery and trading, I’ve created a comprehensive trading and mindset curriculum. It details the exact methods I use to consistently profit from the markets month after month.
