Who Am I?
Investor and trader since 2018
In the markets, I invest along two axes: active speculation and passive investment.
Through active trading, I focus on the most explosive opportunities I can find — screening stocks and crypto setups daily for asymmetric potential. I scale up when markets trend strongly, and play defensive or stay entirely out when conditions turn bearish.
On the passive side, I manage portfolios built for superior long-term returns with controlled risk, balancing performance with peace of mind.
2018
We all start somewhere
I started dipping my toes into investing in 2018. Working in the tech industry in Singapore, I encountered horizons far beyond my small French hometown. I realized the stock market wasn’t as intimidating as I’d been told, and, encouraged by a friend, I began buying and holding an S&P 500 ETF.
2020
Markets can be volatile — for better or for worse
It was going well; between 2019 and early 2020, the market was up 30%. "It's not that hard", I thought. Two months later, COVID hit, and I saw all my gains evaporate. I kept a calm head, because 1) this is part of the plan and it can happen, and 2) I had a light exposure since I'd started only a year before the crash.
Nevertheless, it bothered me to think that I could take a -30% hit (potentially more) after decades of investing — at the time my capital would be large enough to keep me awake at night. It recovered quickly, and I decided to sell my stake with a slight profit.
That period taught me an essential lesson about survivability in markets: the best strategy isn’t always the one with the highest returns—it’s the one you can actually stick with through drawdowns.
2021
An explosive opportunity... badly managed
Late 2020, I got acquainted with cryptocurrencies. I joined the party late and lacked both knowledge and skill. The major event of that year was seeing one of my holdings (CRO) explode in Nov 2021 to reach a peak of 1550% (x16 on my initial balance).
I got extremely lucky to enter at the absolute bottom in Dec 2020 (I simply wanted the 3% cashback on their debit card, and I needed to buy a few CRO to get it). When I saw my account skyrocket, I thought "hey, this might go even further - I'm going to hold on to it". Big mistake: in the next 6 months, it dropped massively along with the rest of the crypto market. I still walked away with a good profit, but I cashed out way too late.
It was pure luck for me to enter the market at rock bottom. It could have turned out very differently (think of all the participants who joined the party in Oct-Nov 21, right before the price violently snapped back down). You must know when to strike.
That cryptocurrency might never come back anywhere close to its peak price. It might never give an explosive move of this intensity ever again. Having a clearly defined strategy to manage open positions (be it longer term investments or active trades) is another element that makes or breaks a trader. Know when to exit.
2022-2024
The early signs of the trader within me
In the second half of 2022, I spent months researching and learning everything I could about cryptocurrencies. I started investing again, better equipped than I previously was. Nothing revolutionary, but this time I had a plan. I began dollar-cost averaging into BTC and ETH each month for the following year. The idea was to hold until a price target I identified via technical analysis of the price structure, as well as setting a protective "stop" area to cut my losses if the trade went against me. I successfully executed my strategy and exited most of my positions in the summer of 2024. 142% profit. Quite neat!
It changed my life
I was so eager to properly learn how to trade that in 2023, I enrolled in a year-long program on how to find high-potential stocks and explosive setups on longer timeframes — and how to trade them with a simple daily routine. I also learned how to build passive portfolios. It was a blast. I gained valuable trading skills and habits taught by experienced traders and spent countless hours sharpening them.
I got good at spotting these opportunities and trading them with adaptive money management. I generated 23% gain in my first six months live and earned recognition as one of the top-performing students in my class. It completely changed how I looked at investing and managing my finances. I was hooked.
This equity curve shows my swing trading strategy’s performance — developed, tested, and traded with consistent risk, position sizing, and entries/exits.
Out of 40 trades, just 4 were responsible for nearly all the performance — that’s the power of asymmetric opportunities.
2024-2025
And I'm grateful I gave it a real shot
In parallel with my swing trading activities, I tried really (really) hard day trading on Forex markets. I persisted for about a year but ultimately decided to step away, despite all the work I had put in. It has proven to be extremely unforgiving, stressful, and a toxic industry. I'm sure it works for some, just not for me. I was wise enough not to engage any real capital until I could prove to be consistently profitable. While I did not lose money, I still paid the price in time and emotional capital (it was a really tough journey).
I am glad, however, that I tried this out because it has vastly increased the confidence I have in my existing strategies. From my experience, a swing trader operating on weekly/daily timeframes, with a clear strategy and routine, will always outperform a day trader in either performance, time invested, or stress levels. Often, even all three — I’ve been there.

Helping others become profitable traders and investors
Today, I profitably execute my 30-minute daily trading routine and manage my passive strategies. Since 2023, I’ve spent every day analyzing charts, placing orders, and refining my approach. I know how to find and trade asymmetrical opportunities, when to take advantage of trending markets, and when to stay on the sidelines to avoid bearish periods.
After seeing some of my results, I taught a few friends and relatives to do this successfully on their own. It made me realize I could guide others to achieve similar results.
I’ve spent years learning, testing and refining the methods I use every day. Join me for weekly market insights and early access to my proven trading strategies.
