I’m Archie, I’m 19, and I didn’t grow up as the “smart kid who always had it together.”

I was the opposite. I was getting high all the time, getting into fights, hanging with the wrong people, and getting myself arrested. I didn’t care about my future, I just wanted to feel good in the moment and escape whatever was in my head. I was wasting chances, burning bridges, and convincing myself it was normal.

At some point it stopped being fun. Waking up hungover or fried, dealing with drama, people switching up, feeling like I was stuck on repeat. I could see where that road actually leads: nowhere. Jail, dead, or just another person talking about what they “could’ve done.”

That’s when I found trading. At first, I thought it was just a way to make money. But it forced me to confront myself. You can’t be high all the time, emotional, and reckless and expect to win in the markets. You either build discipline, or the market exposes you.

Slowly I started changing real habits:

• Waking up early for the charts instead of staying out late

• Cutting off people who didn’t respect my vision

• Controlling my emotions instead of letting them control my decisions

• Treating my time and money like they actually matter

Trading didn’t just give me a strategy, it gave me structure. It gave me something to lock in on instead of self-destructing. It’s what pulled me out of being “that kid” and pushed me into someone who actually has a shot at the life I want.

Now I spend my time studying futures, refining my system, and helping other people who feel stuck like I was. I’m not here to sell you a fantasy. I’m here to show you what discipline, real work, and a proper approach to the market can do if you take it seriously.

If you’re tired of repeating the same patterns, done with the BS, and ready to actually change your life—not just talk about it—then that’s what my mentorship, content, and community are for.
