Initially having little knowledge of investing, he was inspired by a friend's suggestion to capitalize on the market downturn, leading him to experiment with a small investment on Robinhood. His early success with a mortgage REIT sparked a deeper interest in trading.Over time, Zen expanded his skills, moving from swing trading small caps to trading options, and eventually found success in scalping shares. In 2023, Zen attempted to trade full-time and did well, especially trading Tesla. However, a few personal mistakes led him to step back and reassess his approach.

Coming from a career in creative work and a background in extreme endurance sports, Andrew found markets to be the perfect combination of technical attention to detail and mental resolve.At Long Winter Trading Company, we believe that trading is hard.That’s what we love about it. Trading is perhaps the most difficult career path a person can take. They must face the unknown each day and do it with their own capital with countless variables at play. We don’t expect trading to come easy. We don’t expect trading to allow you to remain in your current state. We do expect that, when mastered, trading can provide both a lifestyle and knowledge of self that is well beyond the normal person.Thoughtful creative expression has a way of changing a person.

As a result, he paid a hefty price of over $45,000, loads of personal capital and nearly lost his marriage over it.Fortunately, Brian had the Quality Assurance experience working in manufacturing. When he applied the Quality Assurance methodology to his trading, he found that it works amazingly well, just like it has in the business world for decades to get struggling operations under control and predictably profitable.He then also applied his business acumen to further build that solid foundation that nearly all traders don’t get to really give him a solid base and peace of mind. Brian teaches these same success practices and methods to traders so that they can fill the gap in their training as well and enjoy relaxed, profitable trading too.Brian’s years of experience Quality Assurance and Business Consulting allow him to provide unique, effective and refreshing resources to the traders of the world. His focus is helping traders achieve self-sufficiency through the application of Quality and Business principles and practices that result in proficiency and success.Follow Brian on TwitterSubscribe to Consistent ProfitsInside Out TradingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

As a power lineman, husband, and proud father of two wonderful daughters, Joel brings a unique blend of kindness, support, and motivation to the Band of Traders community. Joel's venture into trading wasn't merely a financial pursuit; it was a desire to actively engage with the market beyond traditional buy-and-hold ETF investing. Trading, particularly in futures, became more than just a financial endeavor for Joel. It evolved into a genuine passion, a game he enjoys playing, regardless of the monetary outcomes. What sets Joel apart is not just his passion, but his willingness to open up and share his struggles. In the often-challenging landscape of trading, Joel's authenticity and transparency create a supportive environment within the Band of Traders community.
