Blog Ep 104: From $2,000 to $1 Million – Matthew Monaco’s Road to Trading Success

Matthew Monaco: From $2,000 to Millions – A Trader’s Journey

Matthew Monaco’s journey into trading is a story of persistence and transformation. Starting in 2017 as a college student studying software engineering, Matthew wasn’t satisfied with the idea of a traditional 9-to-5 career. After a few internships and realizing that a corporate job wasn’t for him, he turned to trading with just $2,000 in savings. His first year was tough, making every mistake in the book and ultimately losing it all.

However, Matthew didn’t give up and his fortunes began to change. His account grew quickly, reaching millions as he capitalized on the market chaos from the covid pandemic.

Today, Matthew continues to trade, but his strategy has evolved. His success is a testament to the power of persistence, constant learning, and adapting to market changes. For aspiring traders, Matthew’s story proves that patience and discipline can turn early setbacks into long-term success.
