Meet the team

I’m Farhan Orakzai, a 27-year-old with a unique career path. I started in computer engineering at the University of Houston but decided to drop out of college because I couldn’t pass calculus. Afterward, I ran a daycare for six years, which was extremely challenging.

My interest then shifted to trading, a passion that initially resulted in significant financial losses. During this time, I met Alex, a fellow trader, and we hit it off.

We utilized each other’s strengths to combat our weaknesses and become better traders overall. Together, we co-founded Elite Trading Academy to share the freedom and success we found in trading with others.

My name is Alex Shiva, and I have dedicated the past 7 years to mastering the art and science of trading. My journey began at the age of 16 when I sold my e-commerce businesses, which had impressively scaled to over $30,000 in monthly revenue while I was still in high school.

This early success instilled in me a deep appreciation for entrepreneurship and financial independence. Over the years, I have meticulously fine-tuned my skills, investing heavily in education, research, and market analysis to ensure I stay ahead of the curve.

Today, I have developed a self-sustaining trading system that consistently delivers impressive returns.

I’m here to translate the content from Alex and Farhan, ensuring that all materials are accessible to a wider audience.
