Full-time trader since 2022

Hi, I'm Rubén Villahermosa

From military and Civil Guard to professional trader. I wasn't born with a gift for trading, and I don't have a secret that nobody else knows. What I do have is a real story of work, mistakes, and persistence.

My Journey

In 2016 I started with no financial knowledge and set myself a 10-year deadline to become profitable. Since 2022 I've been living from trading and I can say I've achieved my dream.

How I Trade

I trade with my own capital across different markets, timeframes and approaches.

Discretionary Trading

Applying Wyckoff analysis to:

  • Long-term stocks
  • Medium-term ETFs
  • Short-term futures

Algorithmic Trading

Automated strategies based on:

  • Quantified Wyckoff principles
  • Intraday and swing futures
  • Rigorous backtesting validation

My Philosophy

I don't want to sell you dreams. I want to show you, through my example, that you can build something real.

My job is not to give you wings, it's to give you a plan:

  • A plan that allows you to stop improvising
  • That makes you understand how the market really works
  • That puts you on the path to consistency

If I achieved it starting from zero, anyone with the same dedication can do it too.
