Mentorship

Cyclops Trader Mentorship

About Me:

With over a decade of experience as a high-level day trader in a prop firm, I possess a deep understanding of what it takes to excel in this challenging field. My career evolved from starting as a mentee to becoming a senior trader, where I took on the responsibility of mentoring my own trainees. This unique role has provided me with invaluable insights into the diverse personalities and skills that contribute to a successful trading team. Throughout my journey, spanning 10 years, I have continuously adapted my strategies and approaches, gaining firsthand experience in navigating market cycles and achieving sustained success.

One of my core strengths lies in my rigorous approach to risk management, which I believe has been instrumental in my ability to thrive in the ever-changing market environment. I am dedicated to imparting these values of ethics, dedication, and meticulous preparation to new traders, ensuring they are well-equipped to achieve their full potential in the world of trading.
