I’m Gary, a trader since 2016.
I started my trading journey at 45+, and I fell in love with it straight away.
I put all my persistence and effort into learning.
Being a husband and a father of four, I joined one of the early Samuel & Co programs.
I travelled every day from Lincolnshire to London.
I was the oldest in the group, but by the end of the program, I was one of only two who got funded — and the only one who was offered a position.
I worked at the company for around two years, and then moved into independent trading.
Now I feel I’ve honed and distilled my skills, and I have the capacity to share my experience and guide people who are like I once was — in love with charts, curious, persistent, disciplined… or at least deeply committed to becoming that.
Because when the desire is real, the tools — and the right people — appear.
