Focus, Simplicity, and One Good Setup
Why I stopped chasing trends and built a life I actually enjoy.
A few people have asked me why I stopped publishing market analysis, especially about crypto. The answer is simple: it stopped interesting me.
My trading is solved. Not in the sense that I'm making millions, but in the sense that I have a solid, proven strategy. I’ve already explained it many times. I even built my own indicator that helps me analyse higher timeframes in seconds. So my daily routine is straightforward: I set alerts and only look at charts when something relevant happens. That’s it.
Sometimes I review or refine things, but honestly, the next step for me is full automation. I’m not looking for new strategies, not backtesting endlessly, not chasing new setups. I already have what I need, and it’s simple. Boring, even. The kind of boring that works.
That’s why I stopped writing about “where Bitcoin is going next” or doing long-term crypto reports. My investments aren’t even in crypto. They’re in traditional assets, ETFs that track global indexes. Proven, stable, and ideal to build long-term wealth. That’s what I want. I receive income from my company, which automates B2B prospecting, and I generate consistent returns with trading. I recently got funded and plan to grow in that space, but not by managing five or ten accounts like some traders do. I think one funded account, used properly, is more than enough to live well.
I don’t plan to start new ventures. My lifestyle is already dialled in.
If there’s one message I’d like to pass on, it’s this: stop chasing shiny objects. Most people I’ve mentored or advised in startups, business or trading don’t need more tools or hacks. What they need is focus. Focus and volume. And volume is easy to get if you commit. Money? You can live off challenges and scale slowly. Strategy? There are thousands of proven ones out there. You just have to pick one that fits your personality and stick to it. The real challenge is discipline.
I’ve met dozens of talented traders who fail not because of strategy but because they lack control. They overtrade. They remix strategies. They trade like it’s a video game. What they need is automation. Something that removes emotion from the equation. Maybe one day I’ll help them with that, with an automated version of my Black Tie Report setup. But until then, I keep repeating: professional trading is repetitive, structured and silent. It has nothing to do with the noise of social media or the glamour you see in trading movies. It’s a game of focus and risk control.
If you’re at a point where you need clarity and want a strategy that works, or you already have one and need help refining it, this is what I offer:
You can book a one-on-one trading class. It’s 40 minutes on Google Meet. We go straight to the point and solve what you need to solve. You can book a single class or get a small discount if you prefer a package of sessions. Each class is €40.
Or, if you want something more structured, I offer a 3-week mentorship programme. It includes 1-2 weekly calls, daily contact via Telegram, and personalised chart reviews. We go deep and fix what’s broken. It’s not just about teaching. It’s also about accountability and having someone to walk with you until things work. That kind of support matters more than you think. The cost of the mentorship is €500, which if you think about it, comes out to just €23 per day. Even cheaper than taking individual lessons.
If you're interested in any of these options, just send me a message on Substack, Twitter, or LinkedIn. These are the only platforms where I'm currently active.
I also advise internet startups, based on more than 25 years of experience. An advisory process is usually similar to a mentorship, but focused on business. We begin with a detailed analysis of the company's current state, then define goals, key metrics and track them together. The format includes weekly calls and assistance whenever needed. I never work in advisory for more than three months, because I believe that’s enough to provide real value and avoid dependence. The cost is €500 per month. That’s it. There’s no need to charge crazy amounts. I like to work, I value money, but I don’t like when people try to overprice me, so I do the same: fair numbers, no drama.
The only thing I’ve been thinking I’d enjoy is maybe offering a course. But not an online one. Not a set of pre-recorded videos. No.
If I ever do it, it’ll be a live course, with real people, in a real space. A trading room. Maybe ten or twelve people, sitting around a table, sharing charts, asking questions, analysing things together. The kind of room where you talk less and learn more. Probably in Cyprus. If you’re around, who knows. But for now, I’m not moving in that direction.
I enjoy the simplicity of what I do. I live calmly. I have a stable routine. And if you’ve been following me here, maybe you already understand that’s my ideal life.
Maybe it’s because I’ve already tried the other one. I’ve already played the successful entrepreneur role, featured in magazines, being praised for building something from scratch. And I’m grateful for that part of my life. But now? Now I don’t care for it.
I think the quieter the life, the clearer the mind. At least for someone like me.
