The honest record

I trade a million dollars of my own money — as a side hustle.

I've traded since 2019 — scalping, day, swing, long-term. Day trading paid well but ate my time, so I moved to swing trading stocks, lost $210,000, then went all in on crypto and made it all back and more. That's my focus now, because the T in GET matters.

The one rule I'd give you: don't make trading your main income. The moment the bills depend on your next trade, the stress makes you trade worse.

Trading robots

Making money while you sleep. That's the dream.

I've built hundreds of trading robots. A few worked for months — sometimes a year and a half. But eventually they all start losing more than they win. That's the honest pattern most people don't share. The real edge isn't just finding an edge in the strategy — it's knowing when it needs adjusting, and when to switch it off.

Grid Hedge Scalper · Gold

Started at $20,000, climbed to almost +100%, took a big hit, and still sits at +48.2%. I switched it off after that.

Dollar Ninja · EUR/USD

Ran for about 15 months across 2020–2021 — good numbers for that stretch. The tracker showed +200%, but that includes the deposits I added along the way; the real result was closer to +105%. It ran at about 30% risk and then started handing the profit back — so I switched it off, the same call I made on the Grid Hedge Scalper.

Nothing beats manual trading and real chart time. Nothing scales like a machine. So I combine both.

My prop firm
TraderFunder

Want to trade up to a $1,000,000 account?

That's exactly why I built TraderFunder, my prop firm. Prove your edge on a realistic evaluation, then trade a far bigger account — up to $1,000,000 in total size — and keep 80–90% of the upside, without putting your own savings on the line to learn the lesson I did. I only profit when you do.
