From Newbie To Professional Trader

Hi, I'm Will Sebastian Cheeseman, Entrepreneur, Businessman And Pro Multi Asset Day Trader.
(1) My Journey:
I’m Will Sebastian Cheeseman — Entrepreneur, Businessman, and Multi-Asset Day Trader.
My journey started in a pretty unusual place: at 14 years old, staring at a trading chart for the very first time. While most other teenagers were completely focused on School Subjects, I was busy figuring out why financial markets moved the way they did.
That first trade — buying stock in a US company — completely changed the way I looked at money and how it was made.
Suddenly, I realised just how fast it could move… and how scale-able it was as a business.
I’ve always been wired this way. Ever since I can remember, I’ve questioned how things work, asked “why,” and looked for ways to make them better.
Soon, instead of attending class, I was skipping it and getting home to learn all about Trading. Trading just happened to be the ultimate puzzle — equal parts logic, psychology, and strategy. Even better - I could learn/create it the way I wanted to.

(2) So I Decided To Invent My Way Of Learning..
School wasn’t really my thing. Don’t get me wrong, I got through it — but I quickly realised the conventional path wasn’t going to cut it for me.Â
Although I love learning, Most subjects felt like repetition: predetermined rules, fixed answers, nothing new to discover. That’s not where I thrive. I was also forced to learn in one particular way, as the schooling system is largely outdated. Some fit, some do not.
Instead, I became obsessed with learning how to learn. Why do people think the way they do? What suits me? How can I live in a way that will allow me to thrive?
Why do markets behave in patterns? What’s really going on beneath the surface?
While my classmates were memorising textbooks, I was studying human behaviour and learning about the world.
My revision style? Let’s just say I sometimes started the day before exams. In some classes I actually passed near the top, but I walked away with something far more useful..
A curiosity that still drives me today and an understanding of how to figure things out for yourself.

(3) My First Online Business Venture..
By 18, I left school and had to figure out how to support myself while still learning to trade.
That’s when I discovered matched betting. For most, it’s just a side hustle; for me, it became a reliable, tax-free income stream.
But I didn’t stop there. I launched a company to teach others my methods.
Soon, students across the UK, US, and Canada were generating thousands each month, some even full-time.
Before long, what started as a small starter Business in my parents spare room turned into a seven-figure revenue venture.

(4) Lessons From Entrepreneurship..
Entrepreneurship brought incredible rewards but also tough lessons. Operating outside convention meant challenges like social isolation and periods of intense stress and anxiety.
Yet those experiences forged resilience, broadened my understanding of people, and gave me the perspective to adapt and grow.
I also managed to achieve experience in various areas of Business and Finance, like Marketing, Customer Relations, Business Deals, Webinar presentation and online public speaking, Accounting and much more.
I've also met Business people all over the world and formed relationships with them, learning from their life lessons.

(5) Back To My True Passion..
Through it all, I never left Trading behind and never stopped on my quest.
From ages 16 to 22 (and now 26), I studied markets relentlessly. I’d spend hours every day analysing charts, learning from mentors, and testing strategies. Since that time, I've maintained this same work rate and traded live.
Over time, I developed my own hedging approach, one that eventually became the foundation for my Trading Academy.
Now, I run the Academy alongside my former mentor. We teach students how to trade logically, protect their capital, and grow their portfolios with confidence.

(6) Now?
Lately, we’ve pushed things even further — refining a stop-loss adjusted method that works flawlessly for both prop firm challenges and cash trading.
After years of testing, it’s robust, reliable, and easy to pick up for those who are committed.
Today, I split my time between trading my own portfolio and mentoring others. My belief hasn’t changed since that first trade at 14: markets aren’t magic..
My philosophy is simple: financial markets are logical and repeatable. With the right mindset and structure, anyone can become competent.
