I'm Jimmy DeMar—47 years old, born and raised in South Florida, married, and a father of four. Like most people, I started trading because I needed to earn extra income. Nothing fancy, just a regular guy looking for a way to provide more for my family.
My journey started with swing trading, then I moved to monthly options, and finally landed on day trading options. Day trading gave me what I was looking for—the chance at that instant gratification, the ability to see results the same day. But I quickly learned what 93% of traders learn the hard way: the stock market is not a casino.
The problem? Most traders treat it like one. They gamble. They chase. They let emotions drive their decisions. And that's exactly why they fail.
I spent years studying charts—every day and every night. I developed a trading strategy that worked for me, one that fit my personality and my lifestyle. On September 6, 2022, I went full-time and never looked back.
Now? I'm on the mic every trading day from 9 AM to noon, walking our community through live setups, explaining the "why" behind every decision, and trading right alongside them. Most of my personal profits come in the first hour—by 10:30 AM, the heavy lifting is done. At noon, I step away while the charts stay up for the community until market close. Trading has given me both financial freedom and something even more valuable—time freedom.
I'm so grateful to have achieved this that I now spend my time helping others work toward the same thing. When I started sharing my success and strategy, people suggested I start teaching. That's how Trading Decoded was born. And along the way, I discovered something unexpected: I have a genuine passion for teaching.
