Professional Background
Sam Thomasson is an AFSL-authorised market professional, CTFE Level 1 technical analysis practitioner, and active trader across ASX equities and cryptocurrency markets at Mastering the Markets. As a trader, investor, and mentor, Sam focuses on identifying opportunity across fast-moving global markets, combining technical structure with macro context and market sentiment.
Before entering the financial markets full-time, Sam built his career through hands-on trade work, developing a strong problem-solving mindset and practical approach to risk and decision-making. Today, he applies that same real-world thinking to markets — focusing on execution, adaptability, and capitalising on opportunity across market cycles. Alongside his trading and education work, Sam is an endurance athlete and triathlete, bringing a high-performance mindset, resilience, and discipline into both his trading and mentoring approach.
Teaching Approach
Sam’s teaching style is energetic, practical, and grounded in real trading experience. He focuses on helping students understand how markets behave in real time, how sentiment drives price, and how traders can position themselves to take advantage of opportunity during volatility and market dislocations.
He encourages students to stay adaptable, manage risk actively, and develop confidence executing within fast-moving environments. Sam places strong emphasis on resilience, learning from losses, and maintaining forward momentum — helping students build both technical skill and the mental toughness required to operate in live markets. His goal is to help traders develop independence, confidence, and the ability to stay decisive when market conditions change.
