WHO I AM

I’m building traders around process, discipline and long-term thinking.

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 JOURNEY

What I went through before becoming profitable.

These are the major stages of my trading journey — including the failures, withdrawals, strategy changes and testing periods.

2022

Started trading

The beginning: learning the market, making mistakes and discovering how difficult consistency really is.

MID 2022

First challenge passed

Passed my first MyForexFunds challenge before the firm's shutdown.

2022–2023

The struggle

I spent a long period crying, struggling and fighting with day trading. The volatility and pressure exposed weaknesses in my process.

2023

A different direction

After researching trader performance and studying my own results, I began focusing seriously on swing trading.

DEC 2023

First FundingPips payout

Passed my first FundingPips challenge and received my first payout while still trading my day-trading approach.

MAR 2024

More payouts, more lessons

I received additional payouts, but increasing market volatility made day trading increasingly difficult. I entered a prolonged non-profitable phase.

2024–2025

Eight months of testing

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.

EARLY 2026

New funded accounts

Passed Alpha Capital $10K and obtained a $25K funded account, followed by several withdrawals.

TODAY

Still on the journey

I continue trading, studying and improving while helping newer traders avoid the mistakes that cost me time and money.
