Carlo, an Italian trader, has become a symbol of success and resilience in the trading community, especially within The Funded Trader (TFT) program. His story, shared in a recent TFT trader interview, is a powerful narrative of overcoming adversity and adapting to change to achieve trading success.
Carlo’s Transition from Leather Business to Trading
Beginning his career in the family’s leather business, Carlo ventured into real estate in his mid-thirties, seeking a change. However, the 2008 financial crisis significantly impacted his real estate endeavors, leading him to a period of professional uncertainty. At the age of 47-48, faced with job loss and the need for a new direction, Carlo returned to an early interest—trading. Unlike his initial foray into trading, which he described as more of a gamble, Carlo now approached it with the seriousness of a professional career.
Embracing the Journey with TFT
Carlo’s breakthrough came when he discovered The Funded Trader’s funded trading program. The program offered him the stability and opportunity he sought after years of struggling with the volatility of trading with his own capital. His determination and resilience paid off as he successfully completed two TFT evaluation challenges, securing his place within the TFT community.
In his interview, Carlo highlighted the trust he places in TFT, particularly appreciating the company’s efficient and reliable payout process. He also shared insights into his trading strategy, which focuses on day trading the NASDAQ using Fibonacci retracement levels and price action analysis, showcasing his growth from a gambler to a strategic trader.
