Meet Andrea Capellini

FTA FOUNDER & HEAD MENTOR

Hey everyone!

My name is Andrea Capellini, founder of Freedom Trading Academy (FTA) and a cryptocurrency trader.
Having watched friends & family members first-hand losing plenty of money through trading due to attending poor quality courses, watching fake crypto gurus and reacting with fear and greed, I decided to design my own courses to enable people to beat this crazy market.

My mission is to help you to achieve financial freedom: I am not interested in Lamborghinis, Rolexes and Michelin star restaurants: Freedom to me means enabling my family to live a happy life without the stress of living month by month on a pay-roll.

My dream is to build a powerful community of like-minded individuals that help each other alongside my guidance, to create an additional income stream or fully escape the typical 9-5 job.
MY TRADING JOURNEY AS A CRYPTO TRADER
Prior to started trading, I was not interested in finance, investing and banking. Instead, I was working as a physical therapist in a highly reputable private practice. Although the job was well paid, I ended up working more than 60 hours per week, thus not having any free time for myself and my family, and ended up getting burnt out.

This was the alarm bell to try to find an additional source of income, working less hours.

Fortunately, I came across one of my patients who soon revealed to be a long time friend & mentor. For the first time he introduced me to investments and the trading world in the Australia stock exchange.

Immediately I got hooked and started to learn about fundamental, technical analysis and macroeconomics: to me was like solving a puzzle and trying to understand all the potential factors which could alter prices of shares and how to make money of out it.

In 2016, I started studying and joining several trading courses, which in one of them I came across crypto and fell in love with it. 2-3 months later, I started to trade US stocks, Bitcoin and Ethereum and the other alt coins. I had roughly 200k in savings and wanted to return 2 million dollars in only 1 year.

And reality hit me very strong in the face…..

2018 we entered a mini bear market, and I ended up loosing 70% of my capital, which left me only with 60k in my bank account.
The emotions were all over the place, from sleepless nights to a sense of insecurity, I probably think you have experienced this is if you already traded/invested in the past and lost a big amount of money, It absolutely sucks.

The only most important thing I did was : I NEVER GAVE UP

Instead of crying on myself, eating junk food and become lazy , I started to react and take back my life. From eating healthy and going to the gym 4- 5 times per week. I started revisiting my crypto trades and I was trying to understand the mistakes I made which led me to lose so much money.
It took over 5-6 months to understand what I did wrong and it was only one word : PSYCHOLOGY!

Fear of missing out, panic selling, listening to negative news of a potential end of the world, I closed and open 80% of my trades based on emotions, which is the last thing you want to do when you trade.

Since that moment, I started to adopt strategies with proper risk management in place. Furthermore, I decided to prioritise risk to the reward, taking regular profits & learn how to cut losses.

The most important lesson I have learnt is that in trading is not how much you can make but is how you consistent you can be with your winnings and how little you can lose.

Adopting this system has enabled me to become a profitable trader, earning little by little and adopting a bullet proof risk management. Discipline in this game is everything!

In the last 3 years, I can finally trade from the comfort of my home, enjoying the luxury of free time and able to spend plenty of time with my partner and 18 month old son. Being not forced to stay in a 9-5 job makes life great, you can travel, build businesses, and free to do anything you want.

In the next 3 years, my financial goal will be to surpass 8 figures in earnings. This will be enable me to open a foundation where I could potentially build orphanages, health centres and schools for children in south east Asia.

Thank you for reading my story and I remember that it is possible to change your life and achieve freedom, although It will take hard work, sacrifice and mental strength.
