Coach Brandon Wendell: A Journey from Trading Floors to Mentorship

Brandon Wendell’s journey in the world of trading and investing is a captivating tale of passion, resilience, and the transformative power of education. His story begins in the bustling environment of a retail stock brokerage, where he first dipped his toes into the financial markets. However, it wasn’t long before he found himself drawn to the adrenaline-fueled world of the trading floor, taking up a position as an Agency Desk Operator and trading on behalf of the brokerage.

Brandon’s love for trading was undeniable, but he yearned for more freedom and the opportunity to make his own trading decisions. This desire led him to a private hedge fund, where he was offered a coveted trading position. It was here that he decided to further hone his skills, attending a trading school to ensure he was equipped with the knowledge and strategies needed to succeed.

Despite his success at the fund, Brandon quickly realized that trading with his own money was a different ball game altogether. The psychological shift was significant, and he found himself grappling with the fears and emotions that come with personal investment. Determined to overcome these challenges, he delved deep into trader psychology, refining his trading plan until he found a strategy that worked.

Brandon often jokes that he was genetically engineered for a career in trading and education, with a stockbroker father and a schoolteacher mother. Indeed, it seems he was destined to blend these two worlds, using his extensive knowledge and experience to teach others. For Brandon, the true reward comes from witnessing his students’ “aha” moments, as they grasp new concepts and use their newfound skills to create real, positive change in their lives.

Today, as a coach at Cheat Code, Brandon continues to share his passion for trading and education. He is a mentor, a guide, and a steadfast supporter of all those who are eager to learn and grow in the world of trading. With Brandon, students find not just a coach, but a true advocate for their success.
