Trading Journey

The road here was not a straight line

Most trading stories begin at the success. This one starts at the first blown account — because that's where the real lessons were.

The Journey

Six years, documented from the first blown account

No overnight success story. This is what the road actually looked like — including the parts most traders never show.

  1. 2019

    First chart, first losses

    Discovered trading, blew two small accounts in six months, and learned the most expensive lesson first: without risk management, analysis is irrelevant.

  2. 2020

    Back to zero — on purpose

    Stopped trading live entirely. Spent a full year on demo building one strategy, one market, one session — and a journal for every single trade.

  3. 2021

    First consistently profitable quarter

    Three consecutive green months on a small live account. Small numbers, but the equity curve finally reflected a process instead of luck.

  4. 2022

    First funded challenge passed

    Passed a $50K evaluation on the first attempt using the exact rules from the journal. Failed the next one by overtrading — and documented that too.

  5. 2023

    $300K in funded capital

    Scaled to multiple funded accounts across two firms. First meaningful payouts, and the discipline systems that made them repeatable.

  6. 2024

    Teaching in public

    Started publishing every trade — wins and losses — plus weekly outlooks and live sessions. The community grew around transparency, not signals.

  7. 2025

    Building the next chapter

    Mentorship, structured education and research — turning six years of documented screen time into something others can actually learn from.
