My trading journey began like a whisper of a dream. Four years ago, all I wanted was to be independent, financially free, and to have the ability to leave a meaningful mark wherever life placed me.
I was ushered into the financial markets by a friend, Daniel Chinagorom, a fellow visionary hungry for greatness in the digital space. One day he showed me a Facebook post—my first encounter with a candlestick chart. Behind those strange patterns were screenshots of massive blue profits in dollars. Curiosity ignited. Ambition poured fuel on the fire. And that was the moment everything changed.
We soon found our way to Deriv as our first broker. With no mentor, no structure, and barely any knowledge, we stumbled forward, guided only by hunger and belief. We scraped together $30 each for our first live account… and blew it instantly. Instead of discouraging me, that loss rewired something inside me—the desire to understand the markets became an obsession.
Days became weeks. Weeks became months. Accounts were funded and blown. Daniel eventually stepped back. But for me, the opposite happened: my passion multiplied. My hunger to decode the financial world intensified with every setback.
Then I discovered BabyPips. That platform became my first true classroom. It grounded me in the fundamentals and gave structure to the chaos. Even as I kept blowing accounts, I never stopped believing. I watched successful traders, studied tirelessly, and guarded my faith in trading like a treasure.
In 2023, I moved to OctaFX. There, I flipped $50 to $450, and from that victory I bought my first trading system. That single milestone changed my mindset from hope to conviction. Later, I transitioned to Exness, where I grew $80 to $650. At that point, the charts stopped looking like noise and began to speak a language I could finally understand.
I doubled down on my commitment. I rented my first apartment, dedicated purely to focus and growth, because trading was no longer a side pursuit—it was the vision. Since then, the journey has been a steady ascent: lesson by lesson, loss by loss, win by win—from glory to glory.
I am still becoming. But one truth is already written: What began as a dream has evolved into a destiny—and I am just getting started.
