Hi, I’m Leonid.
I’ve traded the markets since 2011: forex, futures, options, stocks and ETFs. Today I focus on US stocks and ETFs.
Along the way I learned that success doesn’t come from hope or shortcuts. It comes from discipline and managing risk well.
I built this site to help beginners learn from real experience, in plain language. You won’t copy my trades. You’ll learn why a trade is taken and how its risk is managed.
Protect your capital first and stay consistent. That’s what keeps you in the game long enough to improve. Thanks for being here.
Stocks / FX / Futures / ETFs - Focused on managing risk before chasing profits.
