Trader InterviewsJonathan
Jonathan came back to trading in 2023 after a police job with long shifts. He uses a break and retest on EUR/USD and GBP/USD, with the 100 EMA for direction. The $100K figure is the account he describes, and the 6% is his.
Trader StoryIzabela
Izabela moved from Brazil to the United States as a teenager, left the military, and built a US30 open strategy she kept for three years. She puts six figures in performance fees between January and March 2022 at other firms. Those numbers are hers. Alpha had only just started with her when the episode was recorded.
Trader StoryAbraham
Abraham started in crypto, lost money on bitcoin perpetual futures, then moved into CFDs and index scalping. He puts his first performance fee at about three years, and he still journals and backtests every day. The host's opening figure and Abraham's own year-by-year figures do not match. Both stay labelled as interview claims.
