She Nearly Lost Everything in the GFC – Then Turned a Single Trade into Millions
Before the Mentor Program, Michelle Coomey was juggling a lot – big financial pressures, and a major life shift that had her re-examining her priorities.
On top of that, her early trading experiences during the Global Financial Crisis left her confidence shaken, and she struggled to regain her footing.
The transformation began when Michelle refused to let past setbacks define her. After initially discovering trading in 2008 and experiencing early losses, she committed to mastering her craft.
Enrolling in the Trading Game Mentor Program in 2010, Michelle built a foundation of knowledge, even if life’s challenges delayed her trading success.
Years later, inspired by a friendly competition with her son, she dove back in, repeating the program for two consecutive years.
Through Index Trading, she developed not only a mastery of strategy but also the psychological resilience to embrace risk confidently.
In October 2022, her perseverance culminated in a life-changing Index Trade that marked the start of a new chapter.
Today, Michelle travels the world first class while trading as she goes, no longer reliant on property for her income.
Her last birthday was celebrated on a luxury yacht! Plus, she’s even managed to try parasailing, see some of the incredible murals in Istanbul, explore Athens and see the view from Burj Khalifa (the 154 level tallest building in the world).
