Jake Faassen

From crypto to a method of his own

Jake started the way many traders start: in crypto, learning through trial and error. He then went deep into forex and futures, with over four years of intensive screen time. Along the way he made the classic mistakes himself, from trading too big after a loss to breaking rules he'd just written down. That's exactly why he now trains those patterns in others.

Along the way he founded The Trading Pit Tribe, with more than 850 members one of the largest ICT trading communities in the Netherlands. That experience, bringing traders together and seeing what actually helps them and what doesn't, became the seed for MTA.

Calm before the market

What sets Jake apart isn't a secret setup, it's a habit: ten minutes of meditation before every session. Calm first, then the market. It's the same conviction MTA is built on, that calm, focus and self-knowledge matter at least as much as your strategy.

"It's not just about how you trade, but who you become while learning it."

What Jake coaches

Jake guides traders on both of MTA's pillars at once: the technique of the SAM framework and the psychological work underneath it. No signals and no profit promises, just structure, a dedicated coach at your side, and the mental training to actually execute your plan when it gets tense.
