I first stepped into trading during the pandemic, like so many others searching for a new way to build financial freedom. At the time, I thought I could teach myself everything I needed to know from free YouTube videos and online forums. What I found instead was a maze of conflicting advice, half-explained strategies, and the same cycle many beginners experience—excitement, frustration, small wins followed by big losses, and a constant sense that I was missing something important.

After spinning my wheels for months, I realized I needed structure, not scattered information. That’s when I enrolled in a professional trading program two years ago. The difference was night and day. With guidance, proven frameworks, and real accountability, I began to understand how to manage risk, develop a repeatable process, and trade with confidence.

Today, I’m proud to say I’m consistently profitable and operating above the break-even point. But my journey isn’t finished—I’m now focused on reaching the next level: qualifying to trade for a proprietary trading firm. It’s a big goal, and I know the road won’t always be smooth, but that’s what makes this journey worth sharing.

The Bull City Trader is where I document that path—the highs, the lows, and the lessons that matter most for beginners. My hope is that by sharing my experiences, I can save you from some of the missteps I made early on and give you the tools to trade smarter from day one.

My goal with The Bull City Trader is to share my journey—the wins, the lessons, and the mistakes—so other beginners don’t have to navigate the markets alone.
