About Us

Mark Holstead - Founder

Traders Mastermind was founded by me, Mark Holstead.

A trader for over two decades. (I placed my first trade in March 2001… missed the dot com boom by a few years!)

After a lot of screen time here are some things I believe to be true about trading…

  • Surround yourself with ambitious and supportive traders
  • Always be working on your psychology and mindset
  • Constantly be exploring new trading strategies and edge

Trading can be a lonely game, it’s tough to face the markets each day with no feedback other than your P&L.

  • Am I doing the right thing?
  • Is there another way?
  • What am I missing?
  • What’s a good trading strategy for this market?

It’s tough.

And so in 2020 my goal was simple: 

Create the best educational resource for traders on the internet.

A place that would give a trader everything they needed to progress, grow and hit ambitious goals.

It needed to have:

  • World class trader training
  • Custom tools and innovative software
  • A supportive community of likeminded traders
  • Regular group coaching calls

And so Traders Mastermind was born…

The Traders Mastermind Journey So Far...

  • In 2020 I opened the doors.
  • Peter, a very experienced trader joined me. (decades of swing trading Forex)
  • In late 2020 I hired a full-time customer support and tech guy. Armond. (he keeps things running smoothly)
  • In early 2021 Andrea joined as the community manager. (everyone loves her 'just for fun' posts)
  • In April 2021 we migrated from a hotchpotch of tools to a dedicated members platform.
  • In 2023 we gave the members' dashboard a big overhaul to better organise all the training and educational content.
  • 2024 new team members and new trading tools.
  • And we've got some big plans in the works...more training, research and tools to help you become a better trader.

Hitting milestones, reaching goals, overcoming obstacles.
