I hold a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, but my true passion has always been in the financial markets. Since my college days, I’ve been fascinated by trading, and I’ve been actively trading Forex and Futures since 2013, with Cryptocurrency joining my portfolio shortly after. While coding isn’t my primary focus, I quickly realized the importance of backtesting strategies before adding them to my trading portfolio. This led me to learn Python as a powerful tool to enhance my trading decision-making.
Over the years, I’ve dedicated countless hours to refining my trading skills and developing effective strategies. Now, I’m eager to share the knowledge and insights I’ve gained with other traders. My goal is to help you leverage the tools and techniques that have worked for me, so you can improve your own trading performance. Whether you’re new to trading or experienced in the field, I believe you’ll find valuable information and practical tips in my courses. I’m here to make complex concepts more accessible and to support your journey toward becoming a more confident and successful trader.
