Geoffrey is a finance industry veteran with a decade of experience at Goldman Sachs, where he worked in IT business analysis and fund reporting across their Tokyo and Paris offices. Despite his institutional background, his personal trading was strictly restricted during his tenure, leading him to fully dive into the markets about five years ago. Today, Geoffrey balances a full-time career in finance and product management with disciplined prop firm trading, utilizing his professional experience to maintain a calm, logical approach to capital growth.
Geoffrey’s philosophy is defined by "set and forget" simplicity and extreme emotional detachment. He views trading as a mathematical game of probabilities rather than a constant struggle against the charts. By treating his strategy as a logical system where an edge converts into profit over 100 trades, he avoids the "home run" mentality that leads to over-leveraging. He emphasizes that if a strategy is too complicated to explain simply, it is likely too difficult to execute consistently while working a day job.
Geoffrey describes himself as a "longer-term scalper" or day trader who seeks high-probability, low-frequency setups that align with his professional schedule.
Instruments: His primary focus is on Gold (XAUUSD) due to its volatility, with the Japanese Yen (USDJPY) as a secondary option.
Trend Following: He utilizes the SuperTrend Indicator to establish clear buy/sell zones and identifies basic trend lines to confirm market direction.
Entry Confluence: He looks for a "step up" in the trend followed by a brief pullback; he enters as soon as the price begins to resume the original trend direction.
Risk Management: Geoffrey strictly risks 1% per trade, using a simple pip calculator to determine lot sizes. He typically targets a 1:1.5 risk-reward ratio, allowing his stop-loss or take-profit to be hit without manual intervention.
Since joining Hola Prime in late August, Geoffrey has achieved a 13% gain on his 100K account over roughly two months. After resolving an initial administrative error, his payouts have been "extremely fast," typically processing through Rise Works and hitting his account within an hour.
Simplicity Scales
A simple trend-following strategy is often more sustainable for those balancing trading with a full-time career.
Strict Risk Control
Always calculate your lot size to ensure you never exceed a predetermined risk (e.g., 1%) regardless of the instrument's volatility.
The "Set and Forget" Mindset
Once a trade is executed with a stop-loss and take-profit, interfering with it usually degrades the mathematical edge of the strategy.
Back-test for Confidence
Use historical data not just for strategy validation, but to build the psychological comfort needed to let trades play out during periods of drawdown.
