I'm Marcus Reyes — a full-time momentum day trader and fee-only financial advisor. I publish my verified results, teach my exact playbook, and manage long-term wealth the fiduciary way. No hype, no rented Lamborghinis.
Every figure below is pulled from broker statements reviewed by an independent third-party accountant. Updated monthly.
In 2011 I turned $30K of savings into $4K in eight months. That failure became the foundation: I spent two years journaling every trade, cut my strategy list from twelve to two, and rebuilt around risk-first momentum setups. By 2015 I was full-time; by 2019 I'd added the CFP® designation because I watched too many traders win the market and lose the wealth — no plan for taxes, drawdowns, or the day they stop trading. Today I run both sides: the fast money, traded live every morning, and the slow money, managed the boring fiduciary way.
Hover the chart to inspect any month. Losing months stay on the chart — a track record with no red in it is a track record you should run from.
Fast money and slow money need different tools — but the same discipline. Pick your lane, or run both.
Live trading room from 6:00 AM ET, my full momentum playbook, and weekly one-on-one trade reviews. You'll see every entry, every stop, and every loss in real time.
Most advisors don't understand trader income — lumpy, taxed brutally, and one bad quarter from zero. I build plans around exactly that: quarterly tax strategy, trader tax status elections, and a "slow money" portfolio that compounds while you sleep.
A one-time engagement for self-directed investors: I stress-test your current portfolio, design a risk-budgeted allocation, and hand you the full implementation map — tickers, weights, and rebalancing rules you can run yourself.
Academic studies consistently find that only 10–15% of day traders are profitable over time. Anyone selling you certainty is selling you something else. Here's how I handle that reality:
My worst months (−$14.2K in Sep 2022) are on the chart above, permanently. If a mentor hides drawdowns, they're marketing — not teaching.
Broker statements are reviewed by an independent CPA and available to any prospective client on request. "Trust me" is not a compliance framework.
Part of my mentorship is telling roughly a third of students that day trading isn't their edge — and moving them to the slow-money plan instead. That's the fiduciary habit.
"Eight months in the room and my journal finally looks like a business, not a casino log. Green 5 of the last 6 months — but honestly the 2R daily cap is what saved my account."
"Marcus restructured my trader tax mess — mark-to-market election alone saved me $31K last year. First advisor I've met who actually understands lumpy income."
"He told me to stop day trading. Seriously. Moved me to the long-term plan, and I'm sleeping again. Who talks themselves out of a subscription? A fiduciary does."
Yes. Monthly broker statements are reviewed by Hartley & Voss CPA, and prospective clients can request the audit letter and redacted statements before paying anything. I built the business on this because the industry is drowning in photoshopped P&L screenshots.
Statistically, most day traders lose money — and I won't pretend a subscription changes the math by itself. What I can promise: you'll see a real process, you'll have hard risk limits, and if it's clearly not working, I'll tell you directly and help you shift to a long-term strategy.
I'm paid one transparent flat fee by you — never commissions, kickbacks, or product incentives — and I'm legally obligated to act in your best interest. If a product doesn't help you, I have zero reason to recommend it.
That's actually the flagship setup — fast money and slow money under one roof. Bundled clients get the mentorship included with the advisory retainer, and we review both sides in the same quarterly meeting.
Realistically: $5–10K you can afford to lose entirely, 2 hours every morning, and 6–12 months of patience for the learning curve. If any of those three is missing, start with the portfolio strategy service instead — the market will still be here when you're ready.
20 minutes, no pitch deck, no pressure. We'll look at where you are, and I'll tell you honestly whether the answer is trading, planning, both — or neither.
