Where It All Started From
How We Began
The Charity Course Initiative
When ASX Trader turned 40, he wanted to celebrate in a meaningful way to mark the milestone. Instead of focusing on himself, he aimed to give back to others.
ASX Trader chose to launch a charity initiative, offering to teach 40 students in 40 days how to master the markets. The response was overwhelming with more than 1,000 applications received. The team then chose participants at random.
Community Support
Each applicant contributed a donation of AUD $250, all which went to support a local mother in the trading community. Unfortunately, doctors had diagnosed her son with stage 4 cancer.
In total, the initiative raised close to AUD $30,000 to help cover the son’s cancer treatment. He is now on the road to recovery and in good health.
Positive Feedback and Growth
From this experience, ASX Trader received great feedback from the charity course. The students’ positive responses motivated him to expand the program. This effort led to the creation and beginning of Mastering the Markets.
Redefining Success
For ASX Trader, success is not about what you have; it is about what you give back. His journey reinforced his belief in the strength of community and to use success to create a positive impact in the lives of others.
Scholarship Program
To continue the theme of giving back, Mastering the Markets created the Scholarship Program. In this program, we offer scholarships to both of our courses throughout the year.
To date, we have given away over AUD $100,000 in value of courses and trading account funding to applicants who need support.
Apply for the Scholarship Program
The Scholarship Program is open twice a year to applicants globally. It is for those who are passionate about trading but lack the means to kick-start their journey. We seek individuals who can’t afford the courses and need a life-changing boost.
