I just posted a new video that’s really close to my heart.
It’s about the schools you helped me open in Colombia.
This project started when my millionaire student Eduardo kept pushing for more Karmagawa work in Latin America.
We partnered with an incredible team, and the results speak for themselves.
- Bright classrooms.
- Happy kids.
- And a community that finally has the resources it deserves.
Eduardo and I were joined by an army of students-turned-traders-turned-givers.
Four of my students each donated $85k: David Hanlin, Kyle Williams, Eduardo and Alex Chavez.
And I couldn’t have done it without you.
Even my students who don’t donate, they can share my videos and photos to help bring awareness.
This is proof that disciplined trading can build much more than accounts.
It can build futures.
Please watch, share, and comment on the video. The more visibility we get, the more schools we can create for kids who need them.
Let’s keep turning profits into purpose.
Teamwork, Trades & Tiny Classrooms That Change Lives
When I first started trading, my goal was simple: Freedom.
Freedom from a boss, freedom to travel, freedom to do whatever I wanted.
Two decades later, that freedom helps kids in Soacha, Colombia, walk into brand-new classrooms that you and I helped build.
This newest Karmagawa project is truly special. It’s not just another ribbon-cutting. It’s the product of student-driven generosity.
Eduardo once studied my DVDs late at night while working to support his family. He used his trading profits to move his loved ones out of Venezuela’s danger zones. And now he’s leading philanthropic projects of his own.
He told me he wanted to “give back where it matters most.” And he meant it.
We found Carolina Hoyos and her incredible Colombian team, and things clicked instantly.
Together, we launched multiple new schools across Soacha, one of the most underserved areas in the country.
But here’s the part that blows my mind: It wasn’t just my donation.
This was collective trading discipline that turned into real-world action.
Traders like David Hanlin, Kyle Williams, Alex Chavez, Mike Huddie, they all donated and helped to build these schools.
Every one of them has fought through red days, studied late, and built their accounts trade by trade.
This is what happens when you take those profits and aim them higher than yourself. The same patience that keeps you from chasing a bad breakout can build a classroom a world away.Please take ten minutes to watch my new documentary and share it with someone who needs a reminder that profits can have purpose.
⚠️PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE THIS NEW @karmagawa DOCUMENTARY ABOUT OUR COLOMBIA SCHOOLS! ⚠️ I am SO proud of our new Colombia school projects as my one-time student-turned top trader @edu_trades has been asking for Karmagawa to do more projects in Latin America for a while and when… pic.twitter.com/5mp6I1OLdg

The Trading Lesson Behind It All
If you’ve ever wondered why I hammer discipline so hard, this is my answer.
When you cut losses quickly, when you protect small gains, when you show up every day to study patterns, you’re not just padding your account. You’re training your mindset for bigger missions.
Every trade has a ripple effect.
The patience you build waiting for the right entry helps you wait for the right moment to give.
The humility you learn from cutting a loss teaches you gratitude when a plan works.
Eduardo didn’t become a top trader with luck, he followed a specific process.
Now that same process funds hope for kids who might have never heard of NASDAQ tickers.
Next time you’re staring at your charts, frustrated or tired, remember: The grind is bigger than green days.
Each disciplined decision could one day build a desk, feed a child, or inspire a future trader-turned-philanthropist.
Keep studying.
Keep giving.
Keep proving that a small-account trader can make a massive impact on the world.
When trading purpose meets trading profits, that’s when real wealth begins.
Cheers
