With no education, no mentor, and no money, Lukas Fröhlich, known to many as “Short Bear,” became fascinated by the financial markets when he was just 13 years old. He saved everything he could from his job and started his trade before he could legally drive a car. He created his YouTube and his Twitter accounts to share his strategies, wins and losses so his fellow traders can improve their game.
By obsessing over learning from our mistakes, understanding the benefits, and improving our processes, we were able to reap exorbitant profits in 2020 with the Agenda Trading Strategy. Changing market conditions prompted Lucas to innovate a new strategy that was completely different from the original. Our focus, dedication and discipline for self-improvement have allowed us to expand beyond the world of trade into new areas of business helping others.
