Samuel Leach: Bedroom to Big Buyer
When Samuel Leach started college, he knew he wanted to become a stock trader, which is why he put his 2,000 pounds in student loans into the stock and foreign exchange market. Soon enough, with a strict system, he grew to have 178,000 pounds in his account.
In his final year of university, Samuel Leach took a part-time position at a private bank. With that, on top of going to class and trading stocks on top of it, he, unfortunately, had to be hospitalized from the amount of stress he was under. After leaving the bank, he was quickly asked to teach other students how to trade, going so far as to being paid to teach classes.
Eventually, he established his own currency trading firm after a very close call when MF Global collapsed, nearly taking all of Samuel Leach’s money with them. As of today, his company has 60 employees and has surpassed three million pounds almost four years ago. He has since moved towards investing in safer, more predictable companies, and away from the more volatile foreign exchange market.

When it comes to new traders, he advises them to do two things: stay away from the foreign exchange market and stick to the more predictable stock market and have a strict system when it comes to trading. Samuel Leach believes everyone should start off focusing on only making a couple of pounds per trade and working from your bedroom, just as he did.
