In an inspiring episode of the Bespoke Funding Trader podcast, the spotlight shone on Suhaib, a 25-year-old trader from Burnley, who shared his transformative journey through the world of trading. From an accidental beginning to achieving success with Bespoke Funding, Suhaib’s story is a testament to perseverance and the pursuit of excellence in trading.
Unconventional Beginnings
Suhaib’s trading adventure began unexpectedly, with a pop-up ad on a questionable website. This encounter led him to explore binary options, where he initially saw success but soon faced the harsh reality of loss. His journey took him through the realms of MLM with Wealth Generators, only to leave him disillusioned with the focus on recruitment over actual trading. A return to academic pursuits provided a necessary pause, allowing Suhaib to reassess his approach to trading.
Rediscovery and Growth
In 2019, while pursuing a degree in business management, Suhaib stumbled upon a YouTube video by Akil Stokes, reigniting his passion for trading. Dedicating himself to learning technical analysis and practicing on demo accounts, Suhaib’s commitment bore fruit when he ventured into live trading in April 2020. By the end of the year, his £1,000 account had grown to £15,000, marking a pivotal moment in his trading career.
Educational Influences
Suhaib attributes much of his trading education to mentors Akil Stokes and Jason Graystone, as well as the invaluable insights gained from trading psychology books by Mark Douglas. This foundation has been crucial in developing a disciplined and psychologically informed approach to trading.
Joining Bespoke Funding
The turning point in Suhaib’s prop trading journey came when he discovered Bespoke Funding through Instagram. Drawn by the promise of a performance-based evaluation and a transparent funding process, Suhaib successfully navigated Bespoke’s evaluation, embarking on a funded trading career that emphasizes capital protection and disciplined trading practices.
