After graduating in IT school, I started my carrer as an IT specialist for the Trading floor of an Investment Bank in Lyon, France.During my early years of work, I discovered trading as a side activity, and combining it with my skills in programming and automation.During the financial crisis of 2007, I witnessed a drop of 90% of Traders staff in the floor I was working in, while I personally remained profitable as an amateur trader.This is was my wake up call, and started a new career as an independent trader in 2008.During the following 4 years, this was my only activity and managed to set myself free from a 9 to 5 job.In 2012, I decided to jump into advisory and education, and created a new online project ( now named Stradoji ) to coach and advise investors on the stock market.This small project turned into a 20+ staff operation in the next 10 years and has served 5000+ clients.
