Case Study: How an Economics Student Became a Top Crypto Trader

Today’s story is about Magomedrasul — a trader who went from textbook investing to managing six-figure accounts with full transparency and a passion for teaching others.

Step One: Textbook Investing

It all started in an economics lecture. That’s when Magomedrasul realized assets weren’t just for analysis — they could be bought. Without hesitation, he opened an account with Tinkoff Investments and deposited $2000 — all his savings.

Six months later, thanks to patience and a bit of luck, the account had grown to 500,000. That’s when he felt it for the first time: with the right knowledge, you can make money off a chart. That’s what traders do. And he was hooked.

Entering Crypto — and the First Big Wins

In 2021, he started exploring the crypto market. Intrigued by intraday trading, he moved some funds to Binance. Around $1000 went toward testing out scalping strategies. The bulk — roughly $4000 — he invested into a promising token called SeaCoin. No hype, no moonshots — just potential he believed in.

It ended up delivering a 7x return.

Not just a lucky hit — but a trigger.

Structured Learning and Public Case Studies

That was the turning point. He began systematic training: first with Russian courses, then international ones. He paid for one-on-one mentorships — often from seasoned traders who weren’t even public online. His goal was real-world practice.

During this time, he landed a 10x on Shiba Inu — and documented the entire process live. The trade lasted a month. He shared every thought, move, and adjustment with his followers — many of whom copied the trade and profited.

That’s when the “open mindset” format became his trademark. Today, he regularly shares trades in his channel with live commentary and logic. A real-time example of how education and trading can go hand-in-hand.

Prop Firms, a Fund, and Capital Management

By late 2021, he was invited to work at a fund. There, he honed his skills on FX markets and gained experience managing capital beyond his own. To qualify, he had to pass a proprietary trading challenge — and nailed his first $100,000 challenge.

Unfortunately, due to sanctions, his account with MyForexFunds was frozen. Still, it marked his entry into the world of managed capital.

Gaining Freedom

Working in a fund gave him structure — but came with limits: low profit splits, investor reporting, and a lack of freedom. Prop trading was different. He kept up to 80% of profits and received regular payouts.

That shift let him enter a professional rhythm and focus on scaling. In total, he has now managed over $1 million in trading volume.

Teaching Others: The Next Phase

Between 2021 and 2025, Magomedrasul didn’t just learn — he taught. His students don’t blindly copy — they learn to think independently. That, he says, is his biggest achievement.

Today, some of those students are earning real payouts, and he often shares their stories. Everything is transparent. Anyone can reach out to his students. He runs a channel where he opens trades in real time, explains the logic, and leads by example.
