Alex Wasilewski

Alex Wasilewski aka AlexLW, our head trader in the live room and co-founder, has a rich and eclectic background that might more easily have been described by what he has not done. Alex has had a wide variety of jobs: IRS Auditor, NY Cop, Stock Broker, Truck Driver, Bar owner and various other things you may not believe! He’s seen it all and is strongly in tune with ‘herd’ psychology.

Alex strongly believes that the keys to trading success are alive and present in ALL traders. He believes that what you program in your subconscious is far more important than what you program into a computer. Your personal will can conquer any obstacle. Alex has been an outstanding investor over the long term in individual stocks, and short term day trading.

Experiences such as that have contributed to Alex’s philosophy of trading. To become successful, emulate the habits of a losing trader who became successful, rather than study those who won lotteries.

“As most successful and honest advisors will tell you, first all newbie’s lose money. Then they learn to break even. Then they discover the magic of discipline, a high probability method, and personal positive psychology. AND THE NEWBIE BECOMES A PRO.”
