Finding a mentor wasn’t exactly a walk in the park.
The internet felt like a jungle flooded with self-proclaimed “trading gurus” who all swore they had the secret sauce to turn anyone into a millionaire overnight.
Some threw flashy cars in your face, others promised "magic strategies" that never lost. It was wild.
But then, one day, I stumbled across someone different. His trading approach wasn’t just about hype. It made sense. His explanations felt grounded.
And lucky for me, he was offering a discount on his mentorship at the time. That was my cue.
So I did what any ambitious teenager would do, I went to my dad.
I told him I wanted to invest in this mentorship, not because it was trendy, but because something in me knew this could change everything. Thankfully, he believed in me enough to support it. He sent the money.
And just like that, my real trading journey began.
I was learning Support and Resistance, Supply and Demand. All the foundational principles that turn chart watchers into profitable traders. And the deeper I went, the more obsessed I became.
I’d wake up at midnight, grab my phone, open TradingView, and analyze the charts till my battery begged for mercy. My screen time was through the roof. MetaTrader 5 became my second home.
And believe me when I say this — I traded everything.
From major currency pairs to crypto, from synthetics to volatility indices... I was all over the financial map. I didn’t want to miss a thing.
One of my proudest moments came when I predicted GBP/USD to hit 1.34 — months before it did.
📈 This was my analysis at the time:
And this is where the market is at the time of writing this:
That mentorship? Easily one of the best decisions I’ve made. It laid the foundation for what has now been over two years of consistent growth.
Am I where I want to be yet? Not quite.
But I’m not where I used to be either.
Progress is progress — and I’m on the right path.
Eventually, though, I hit a wall.
Trading everything was starting to backfire. The pressure to keep up with every market, every instrument, every move — it got overwhelming. I felt scattered.
So I made a shift. I cut back. I focused.
I narrowed my attention to just a few assets: some indices, Gold, and Bitcoin. And the difference? Game-changing. With fewer distractions, my analysis sharpened, my results improved, and I finally felt in control again.
But just as I was settling into this rhythm — boom, 2024 arrived.
This was the year I got introduced to Blockchain and Web3.
Suddenly, I was diving into terms like smart contracts, decentralization,** DeFi*, and a **whole new digital universe*. It blew my mind.
And guess what? I started learning smart contract development through Cyfrin Updraft.
It was like tech came knocking on my door again. The fire that once burned bright when I was learning Python and frontend development? It reignited.
I was back in love with code.
But then came another challenge — a big one.
How do I balance Charts and Code?
How do I keep the trader in me sharp while nurturing the developer I’m becoming?
That’s the next chapter.
More coming soon — stay tuned!!!

pretty cool seeing someone chase both trading and coding like that - always gets me thinking if sticking with two tough things makes you better overall or if it just burns you out faster. you ever feel like one side pushes the other forward, or does it feel like a tug of war?
At a point it did feel like a tug of war.
Cos I'd be stuck in between at times.
But then I realized it's all about scheduling.
Ur journey is amazing
Thanks man✌🏾💯
