Not a guru.
A student of the market.
I started this platform because I couldn’t find what I actually needed: someone being completely honest about their journey. The wins, the losses, the psychology, the mistakes. This is that.
What this is
Trade Like Mark is a personal brand built around one question: what does it actually take to become a consistently profitable trader?
Not the highlight reel. Not the cherry-picked trades. The whole thing. I publish my daily outlooks, my journal entries, my win rate, my P&L, my mistakes. Everything is on the record.
This is not financial advice. I’m not claiming to be the best trader. I’m claiming to be the most transparent one.
Discovered trading. Lost $4,200 in 3 months. Quit.
Returned during COVID. Studied market structure obsessively. First 3-month profitable streak.
Blew a $12,000 account in a single week of FOMO trading. The lowest point.
Complete reset. Built a strict ruleset. No live trading for 3 months — simulation only. Win rate climbed to 61%.
First consistent year. 38 wins, 17 losses. Net: +$47,200. The edge was real.
Scaled position size. Focused exclusively on NQ, ES, and Gold. Quarterly profits all positive.
Launched Trade Like Mark. Documenting everything publicly. Road to multi-millionaire starts here.
Discipline over conviction
The market doesn't care how sure you are. It cares whether you had a rule and followed it.
Process over outcome
A bad trade with a good process is still a good trade. I evaluate execution, not results.
Transparency as an edge
When you publish everything, you can't hide from your mistakes. That accountability is the sharpest tool I have.
