The beginning: learning the market, making mistakes and discovering how difficult consistency really is.
I’m the founder of Institutional Trading Academy. I did not become consistent overnight. My journey taught me that becoming profitable is a process that requires time, testing, discipline and the ability to survive your mistakes.
The goal of ITA is not to promise easy money. It is to teach a framework you can study, test, journal and execute consistently.

The beginning: learning the market, making mistakes and discovering how difficult consistency really is.
Passed my first MyForexFunds challenge before the firm's shutdown.
I spent a long period crying, struggling and fighting with day trading. The volatility and pressure exposed weaknesses in my process.
After researching trader performance and studying my own results, I began focusing seriously on swing trading.
Passed my first FundingPips challenge and received my first payout while still trading my day-trading approach.
I received additional payouts, but increasing market volatility made day trading increasingly difficult. I entered a prolonged non-profitable phase.
I focused on swing trading and spent about eight months testing the strategy, including a failed $100K FTMO account. The objective was to find evidence in backtesting rather than rely on hope.
Passed Alpha Capital $10K and obtained a $25K funded account, followed by several withdrawals.
I continue trading, studying and improving while helping newer traders avoid the mistakes that cost me time and money.

My objective is to shorten the learning curve by teaching patience, risk management, psychology, journaling and a process built around evidence.
