I'm not the guy in a rented Lamborghini telling you trading is easy.

I'm 22, from Sweden. A few years ago I was doing nightshifts at DHL, sorting packages — some nights sleeping on a bed another shift worker had just gotten up from — while I tried to figure trading out on the side. I thought I'd be a footballer. That didn't happen.

So I did what most of you reading this have done: I tried to figure it out alone.

I blew $10,000. I borrowed $2,000 from my dad to keep going. I failed 8 prop-firm challenges in a row.

What changed everything wasn't another indicator or another guru. It was getting brutally simple, getting mechanical, and getting accountable.

I've been profitable for 3 years now. I trade live on YouTube so you can watch me do it in real time — wins and losses — and I've built an audience of 70,000+ people who follow along because I show the real thing, not a highlight reel.

That's the whole point of this. Credibility from transparency and results you can verify yourself — not from flexing.

Trading "education" is a graveyard of people who had a few good months, sold a course, and disappeared. Discords with 500 people and a signal channel nobody actually trades. ICT, SMC, order blocks, Gann — five half-learned strategies and zero consistency.

That's not a proven system. That's noise.

A proven system is one that holds up:
  • Across different market conditions, not one lucky stretch
  • Across different pairs and setups, not one cherry-picked chart
  • Across students with completely different skill levels and backgrounds
  • When it's stripped down to rules a beginner can actually follow — not feel

And it's not just my word — an independent third party backtested this strategy. See the proof ↓

You shouldn't trust a stranger on the internet with your money. So don't — verify it instead. Someone with no reason to flatter me put the strategy through an independent backtest, and it held up at roughly a 70% win rate and a 2.26 profit factor.

On top of that, I trade live on YouTube — over a year of public, documented trading you can scroll back through, wins and losses, nothing hidden.

Most of what's out there makes trading harder than it needs to be. My entire edge is the opposite: make it mechanical, make it simple, make it repeatable.

The core of the system is the Compensation Play — an entry model built around "no-wick" (wickless) candles. In plain terms: the market leaves a specific, identifiable footprint, and we have a precise, rule-based way to trade it with the trend, with a mechanical stop and a fixed 1:1 risk-reward. No guessing. No discretion. No "feel."

What that means for your actual life:

  • ~30 minutes a day. This is alert-based, not chart-staring. An indicator flags the setups and pushes them to your phone — you check, you take the ones that meet the rules, you're done.
  • Around 4–5 trades a week. Quality over screen time. It fits around a job.
  • One model, not five. Two students look at the same chart and take the same trade. That's the point.
  • A decision rule simple enough to never second-guess — does it meet my rules? Yes, take it. No, come off the chart. That simple.
Here's the part nobody else does: the full strategy is already on my YouTube, for free. I gave it away on purpose. Knowing the rules and executing them consistently under real money are two completely different things — and that gap is exactly what the mentorship closes.

There are two ways to come in, depending on how much hands-on access to me you want. Both are built on the same strategy, the same systems, and the same community. The difference is how much 1-on-1 time with me personally you get.

1️⃣ Education — know exactly what to do

  • The full video course — the entire system, start to finish: Key Concepts → No-Wick Candles → The Plays → Psychology. Recorded by me. 6 months of access.
  • A small, intentionally-capped community — not a 5,000-person Discord. Everyone's on first-name terms and you actually get seen.
  • Group calls, twice a week — market conditions, the week's highest-probability setups, and live reviews of members' trades.

2️⃣ Coaching & access — get me in your corner

  • Bi-weekly 1-on-1 calls with me, personally — for 3 months (Full plan). Live sessions where we go through your trades together and sharpen your execution.
  • 1-on-1 Discord chat with me (Full plan) — a direct line, not a ticket queue.
  • On Standard, you run with the group — the twice-a-week calls are where your trades and questions get worked through.

3️⃣ Systems & tools — everything you need to run it

  • The Trading Compass platform — journal every trade and auto-calculate your win rate by setup and pair, so your edge is measured, not guessed.
  • Funded-account access through our prop-firm partner — scale on someone else's capital instead of your own.

Standard

Self-directed, with full group coaching
  • Twice-a-week group calls
  • Full video course (6-month access)
  • Small capped community
  • Trading Compass platform
  • Funded-account (prop-firm) access
In short: the Full plan is for people who want me in their corner directly — bi-weekly 1-on-1s for 3 months and a direct line to me. The Standard plan gives you the entire strategy, the systems, the community and the group coaching to run it yourself, without the private 1-on-1 time.

This has worked for people in different countries, at every skill level — from complete beginners to traders stuck for years. Hear it straight from them:

📋
You fill out a short form so we know exactly where you're starting from and what you need.
📂
You go through the course and learn the strategy end to end — the same strategy that's verifiable on my YouTube.
🧭
You map out your plan of attack — on the Full plan we do this together on your first 1-on-1; on Standard the group calls get you oriented fast.
🔍
You backtest the strategy yourself — like nearly every student does before trusting it with real money.
📲
You start taking live setups off the alerts — ~30 minutes a day, a handful of trades a week — logging every one in the Trading Compass.
🧑‍🏫
You get trade reviews and coaching — on the group calls, and bi-weekly 1-on-1 with me on the Full plan — so your mistakes get caught early.
🏦
You move into prop-firm evaluations using your access to funded accounts through our partner — scaling on someone else's capital, not your own.
💸
You hit your first payout — the moment it stops being theory. "This is actually real now. I'm a trader."
📈
From there it's repeatable — bigger accounts, more payouts, a system you own for good.

I'm not going to promise you'll make money. No honest mentor can — your results depend on you showing up and doing the work. So instead of a guarantee, I give you something better: the ability to verify everything before you ever pay.

The strategy is free on my YouTube. Go watch it. Then backtest it yourself — exactly like Hampus (8% in a week on demo) and almost every other member did before joining. If it doesn't hold up for you, you'll know before you spend a cent.

On top of that:

  • An independent third party (FX Replay) backtested the strategy and confirmed ~70% win rate / 2.26 profit factor — proof that isn't coming from me.
  • You trade live with me on YouTube — over a year of public, documented trading you can scroll back through.
  • A clear, signed written agreement — you know exactly what you're getting before you commit.

The reason there's no "double your money or it's free" promise is simple: this is a real mentorship where I'm putting real time into your trading. I'm honest about that instead of selling you a fantasy.

This works if you meet it halfway. None of this is unreasonable — it's the bare minimum if you're serious:

  • Give it ~30 minutes a day. The system is built to fit around your job, but it isn't zero effort.
  • Follow the rules — mechanically. Does it meet my rules? Yes, take. No, come off the chart. The edge only works if you actually run it.
  • Show up to your calls. The coaching only helps if you're in the room.
  • Journal every trade. This is how we find and fix what's holding you back.
  • Stay in communication. Ask when you're stuck, submit trades for review, give updates — don't disappear for weeks.

If you're doing those things, you're going to be in the small group of traders who actually make it. That's the whole filter.

✅ This is for you if…

  • You're a struggling trader — bounced between ICT, SMC and signal groups, blown account after account, done with subjectivity and overload.
  • You want it simple — one system, a small community, and a mentor who actually answers you.
  • You're a beginner who wants to start right — skip the years of failure and learn a clean, rule-based method with no bad habits to unlearn.

🚫 This is NOT for you if…

  • You want a quick win or a "glitch in the market." This is a skill, not get-rich-quick.
  • You want signals to copy without learning. I teach you to fish.
  • You won't trade mechanically — if you trade on gut, the rules will fight you.
  • You can't commit ~30 min a day, or won't show up.

That's the offer — now let's talk it through.
