Confessions Of A Market Maker

In this debut episode of Confessions: Next Gen, we sit down with Pierre—a spirited young trader who went from lighting up Zoom happy hours to landing a job at Apex Fintech as a risk analyst. Known for his aggressive trading style and larger-than-life personality, Pierre reflects on his early days in trading, what he learned from multiple blow ups, and how he earned his series 7 license. We dive into how raw aggression can be sharpened into real edge, what it’s like working on the inside of the industry, and his (semi-secret) plans to launch a hedge fund. This is the story of a trader in motion—wild beginnings, real evolution, and the road ahead.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Looking for a trading room with serious, professional traders?
