Who I am
My story
Hi, I’m Anno — a 30-year-old trader from the Netherlands. I live together with my girlfriend and our two cats, Kit and Katchunky. I enjoy traveling, discovering new places and stepping outside my comfort zone. Freedom has always been important to me — and that’s one of the main reasons I got into trading in the first place.
Besides trading and traveling, I have a wide range of interests. I love music — both creating and listening to it. I play football (the European kind), and I teach yoga. For me, balance matters. Trading is about focus and waiting for the right moment. This can be tiring. Therefore, balance outside the charts is what keeps it sustainable.
Why I started Fulfilled Trader
The story
I studied finance and have always been fascinated by investing, financial markets and trading psychology. I’ve been learning and practicing trading for over 15 years — making plenty of mistakes along the way. Those years of trial, error and reflection shaped the trader I am today.
What I don’t like is the image trading often has online: flashy lifestyles, unrealistic promises and ego-driven marketing. Trading, in reality, is about discipline, risk management and long-term consistency. It can feel lonely and unfulfilling. It sometimes feels like I’m not contributing anything meaningful to society.
That’s why I started Fulfilled Trader: to combine financial education, personal growth and a fulfillment. A place where trading is not just about profit, but about building freedom responsibly — and creating a positive impact on society while doing what we love: trading.
