Detailed context for each stage
Electrical engineering and first market exposure
Engineering studies began alongside early exposure to Iran's stock market. Very quickly, trading shifted from a casual interest to a professional discipline in my mind, with process and consistency taking priority over shortcuts.
Serious Forex entry under difficult conditions
Entered Forex when credible Persian resources were scarce and sentiment was mostly negative. Progress came through deeper study than common practice, controlled trial-and-error, and sustained repetition.
Switch to ICT and programming
Moved to ICT to understand software structures in financial markets and begin building trading automation. This created a practical bridge between market analysis, execution logic, and technical implementation.
Stable profitability and EA development
Reached more stable execution and started focused collaboration on building and optimizing trading experts. In parallel, academic work on ICT's role in Forex reflected the same system-oriented direction.
Failed migration attempt and renewed focus
A major personal setback turned into a strategic reset. The result was stronger focus on personal execution frameworks and more consistent public educational content.
Flagship recorded course and team vision
Launched a comprehensive recorded training program (90 sessions) to preserve learning quality at scale, while formalizing the long-term vision for professional trading teams.
Professional teams and talent discovery
Graduates evolved into professional teams, with ongoing mentoring and practical collaboration around disciplined execution, risk control, and long-term team performance.
Early years
The journey started with an engineering-first mindset, then evolved into a deeper understanding of trading as a standalone professional discipline.
Entering Forex in the early 2010s required persistence because resources were limited and public trust was low.
From ICT to trading systems
Programming and ICT knowledge made it possible to connect market understanding with execution tools and expert advisors.
By 2016, both profitability and system thinking had become more stable, with continued R&D on trading automation.
Education ecosystem and team building
A full recorded course was created to keep educational quality high while maintaining focus on real trading execution.
From 2020 onward, students matured into serious teams, turning education into practical collaboration.
Core trading principles
- Trading starts with psychological self-control through repetition.
- Position sizing must stay aligned with risk logic.
- Mastering one trading style deeply is better than chasing many styles.
For Mohammad Ali Poursamadi, trading is not only a profession, but also a disciplined life philosophy.
