Trading is one of the hardest professions you can learn. The whole field is full of misinformation, price manipulation, insider trading and fake financial gurus. More than 80% of retail traders lose most of their capital, and only a fraction reach what actually matters — consistent profitability.

For twelve years I worked in private and institutional banking — Dresdner Bank, Citibank, ČSOB, PPF and J&T — managing billion-scale portfolios and bespoke structured products for affluent and institutional clients. In parallel I studied psychology (PVŠPS PPF), completed a psychodynamic training, and spent over a decade as a psychotherapist and coach, including work for Charles University.

Since 2021 I've been a full-time intraday trader. I first helped build and eventually built my own Sierra Chart platform (C++/ACSIL) with dozens of proprietary indicators — including iceberg and algorithmic-order detectors. My intention is to pass on to retail traders what I know about trading psychology, risk management and finding an Edge.
