A quick look at my path

I got into trading back in 2011 — starting with the grain market. It felt more straightforward for a beginner: predictable demand, seasonality, and “tangible” drivers like weather and agricultural reports. Every successful contract moved me forward, and every mistake came with a lesson I had to pay for with real experience.

By 2017, I had enough hands-on practice to step up to a new level and join the hedge fund Two Sigma Investments. That’s where I went deeper into working with data and saw just how far you can take market analysis and price forecasting using statistical signals.

Over time, I started to notice how strict rules and corporate frameworks can hold you back. Tight risk policies and “system rules” sometimes forced me to skip ideas I truly believed were strong. I wanted more freedom in decision-making — to trade based on experience, not only a checklist.

So in 2023, I decided to leave and build my own community — the trades-trend.com portal. It’s a place for people who share my approach: less noise, more meaning, with a focus on analytics and discipline.

Within the project, I share my experience for free and publish up-to-date market insights — useful both for those who’ve been in the market for years and for those who are just starting out.

My philosophy

I chose Binarium as my main platform for binary options because it’s reliable, easy to use, and offers fair payouts.

Frequently asked questions

Why did I choose trading?
Trading is freedom first. No bosses controlling your schedule, no salary cap, and no office attachment. It’s one of the few areas where your income depends on your discipline, intelligence, and willingness to grow. Your upside is limited only by your ambition.
Which platform should I trade on?
I recommend using only trusted platforms with a clear interface and, most importantly, transparent withdrawals. For my trades, I use Binarium. It’s a reliable platform that’s beginner-friendly. When you register, use the promo code TREND — it’s a nice boost for getting started.
How much money should I start with?
Don’t risk big money right away. Start with a demo balance to learn the mechanics. For real trading, a comfortable minimum is $20–50. That’s enough to get a feel for the market with minimal risk — especially if you’ve already studied how to calculate a safe starter deposit.
Trading strategies
There’s no “magic button,” but there are proven approaches: scalping, level trading, and Price Action. I’ve put together a solid base of these strategies in my blog so you can choose the style that fits you.
Where to get trading signals?
Be careful: there are many scammers online. Use signals only from traders you trust. For example, I openly publish the history and statistics of my signals in Live mode so anyone can verify the analysis quality before risking money.
What is Binarium?
It’s a trading broker (platform) that provides the technical ability to place trades across different markets: cryptocurrencies, FX pairs (Forex), and stocks. It acts as the intermediary between you and the global market.
Binarium promo code — where to get it and what does it give?
You can use my promo code TREND. Enter it during registration or your first deposit to get +100% to your deposit amount. It’s a great way to boost starting capital.
Do I take people into my team?
Yes! If you’re ambitious — either already trading or just starting — and you’re ready to grow seriously, message me privately. What matters most is your drive. We’ll discuss how we can work and learn together.
How much can you earn with trading?
The beauty of this field is that there’s no “ceiling.” You can earn as much as you want — it depends on your deposit size, risk discipline, and ambition. You set your own financial goals here.
