From engineering to trading: New LATAM Exness Team Pro…

Exness has added Latin American trader and educator Hiram Medina to its Exness Team Pro roster, the broker said in a published interview with its new ambassador. Medina, an electronics engineer who built and ran several businesses before moving into markets, now teaches an intentionally simple approach centred on market structure, discipline and risk control.

He said he studied engineering partly to follow the path his father wanted, and later managed around 15 people across several companies. After his son was born he realised how little time he had for his family, and when his online ventures failed the family moved closer to the coast to start again. His brother introduced him to trading; the freedom appealed to him, but he soon found the work demands preparation and discipline.

Medina began teaching while still learning, after giving up his previous income too quickly and hitting a difficult financial stretch. Much of the useful material was in English while traders across Latin America needed it in Spanish, and translating complex ideas clearly, he said, deepened his own understanding of the subject.

Fewer trades, tighter risk

After buying numerous courses and experimenting with indicators, strategies and markets, Medina reset in 2020 and removed almost everything. He now concentrates on market structure, support and resistance and a small number of setups, mainly trading the Nasdaq 100 around the New York open. He typically takes no more than one trade a day and limits risk to roughly 0.5% to 1% of the account, closing the platform after a loss, which he described as simply one possible outcome within the plan.

He attributes past problems to revenge trading — dozens of trades a day and hours spent trying to win money back — which he said affected his account, his mood and his family life. He argues that struggling traders often blame the market, the broker or the strategy when the real issue is an unexamined habit such as impatience, overconfidence, fear or the urge to recover a loss immediately.

Medina said his private community sees his trades, including the losses, and that reviewing his decisions publicly keeps him accountable. He believes LATAM trading education is shifting away from images of fast money towards losses, emotions and the reasoning behind decisions, with growing interest in trading psychology.

On the Exness tie-up, he said the partnership gives education a wider platform and praised the broker's receptiveness to trader feedback, citing spreads, withdrawals and platform performance as practical considerations. His core message to traders is to keep things simple: manage risk, work on yourself and treat trading as a long-term profession.
