How Yoleny G Transformed Her Mindset to Become a $1M Funded Trader

Get Funded with Axi Select
  • Began trading after a career setback, mentored and encouraged by her husband.
  • Overcame early mistakes and quarantines in Axi Select through discipline and study.
  • Reached $1 million funding by applying patience, contrarian thinking, and risk control.
  • Balances trading with a full-time job to manage stress and avoid emotional decisions.
  • Advocates for patience, continuous learning, and more Latina women in trading.

Yoleny opens with the emotion of reaching Promillion and introduces her contrarian mindset. She then shares her background: Colombian-Canadian, moved to Canada two decades ago, and began trading after a career setback—encouraged and mentored by her husband. In May 2024 she opened her Axi account, turning trading into a personal challenge where results depend on discipline and effort.

Why Axi Select? Transparency, real payouts, and clear rules. Early on she struggled—going from demo to live, landing in quarantine twice due to mistakes. She doubled down on study, morning analysis with her husband, and reading on trading psychology. A key edge emerged: think against the crowd. She kept her day job, treating Axi as the vehicle to pursue both her profession and her new craft.

June 30, 2025 was the milestone—promoted to manage $1M. The celebration was real, but so were the growing pains. Executing with larger size forced immediate adaptation: different fills, slippage, and stricter precision. She admits initial results at the $1M level were negative while she adjusted position sizing and execution to the realities of bigger liquidity.

Managing stress: she treats the account as if it were her own money, avoids over-trading, and uses her government inspection job to step away on high-volatility news days. That second income prevents “trading from need.” She leans on experienced peers (e.g., advice to build a 2–3 year cash cushion before going full-time) and focuses on emotional stability over constant screen time.

A memorable gold trade netted $17K in Pro 500, with a best monthly profit share of $28K. She stresses resilience over windfalls and explains why broker-backed programs like Axi matter—capital access plus transparency. Her closing advice: trading isn’t a get-rich-quick path; build patience, discipline, and continuous learning (including AI). She hopes more Latina women join—proof the path is real and the reward tangible.
