“The market isn’t just chaotic—it’s a battlefield engineered to exploit your instincts. Every surge of hope, every pang of fear, is calibrated to trick you into pitfalls at the worst possible moment. To survive—and profit, you must have an edge.”
WHO AM I?
From Blown Accounts to the Survivor
I’m Chau “Michael” Minh Nguyen, a trader with 10 years of experience, my trading style is discretionary trading based on quantifiable edges. My journey began like many of yours: hunting for the elusive “Holy Grail” strategy. I scoured the whole Internet, read everything I could get my hands on with fake promising “high reward, low risk” setups. Armed with overconfidence and high leverage, I opened my first live account—only to blow it up within weeks.
That failure, though brutal, ignited something unexpected: an obsession with the rhythm of markets. I became fascinated by how price movements accelerate, stall, and repeat in statistically identifiable patterns. So I started over—this time, focusing not on shortcuts, but on verifiable edges that actually works.
Through years of trial, error, and relentless refinement, I learned that markets do offer predictable edges—but only to those who approach them with discipline, data, and a clear system. Starting with zero knowledge, I’ve now built a career that funds the life I once dreamed of. This blog is my way of paying that forward.
