My Reason…

I’m just gonna be honest here. I grew up poor as s**t. That part wasn’t my fault. But, if I chose to stay that way, THAT would have been my fault. My way ‘out’ at first was school. Studied hard, NEVER let any challenges intimidate me. Fast forward to university - being a New Yorker and having a passion for numbers led me to be primed to end up on Wall Street. My heart really did race when walking through those fast-paced environments, earning respect from my male colleagues and knowing that I “made it”. After a few years of that, my body told me this was NOT it. I started feeling like a robot. The circles grew under my eyes and my health was deteriorating while my wallet swelled. Burning out and giving my all while continuing to be a cog in someone else’s machine, well, I was over it.

I received an email from a trading school regarding a weekend workshop and I thought “I’ll check it out.” I had placed a few random trades in my early 20s - which basically went nowhere, but I understood basic concepts. That weekend changed my life. I got sucked into the sales pitch, but it led me to cross paths with two key mentors in my trading career. I decided to leave my full time, high paying career. There was no going back. While I simultaneously became a student of the market (trust me - I paid THAT tuition many times over), I also was a private math tutor. Something started to fall into place.

Six years later, after MANY days of tears, frustration, self-doubt, I can proudly call myself a Professional Trader. But, you know what really puts the cherry on top? Educating others, just like my math students, and giving them the gift of finding their own path to financial freedom. Elite Chartist is my vehicle for that.

I will NEVER allow my fridge to be empty again. I will NEVER go back to giving someone else control over my financial and time freedom. And I am ready to dedicate my time to helping others achieve the same and more. Are you hungry enough?
