Trading Discipline Starts With Understanding
We started ByteOnAPIWave because we kept seeing the same mistakes. People jumping into markets without preparation. Following signals blindly. Treating trading like gambling instead of skill development.
Since 2019, we've been teaching a different approach in Thailand's growing financial education market. One that prioritizes risk management over quick wins.

How We Got Here
In early 2019, I was consulting with retail traders who kept losing money. Not because they were unintelligent—they just hadn't learned the fundamentals. Nobody taught them position sizing. Or how emotions sabotage good strategies.
The pattern was clear. People were eager to learn but got pulled into programs promising unrealistic returns. They'd lose confidence after their first major drawdown and quit entirely.
We built ByteOnAPIWave around one core idea: teach people to survive first, profit second. If you can manage risk properly and stick to your rules during volatility, you'll outlast 90% of traders who flame out in their first year.
Our curriculum doesn't promise fast money. It covers boring things like journaling every trade and calculating proper lot sizes. But these boring habits separate sustainable traders from those who blow up their accounts.
What Guides Our Work
Realistic Expectations
We won't tell you trading is easy or that everyone succeeds. Most people quit. We focus on building skills that improve your odds over time, not overnight transformations.
Process Over Outcomes
Good traders lose money regularly. What matters is following your system consistently. We measure progress through execution quality, not just profit screenshots.
Long-Term Development
Our programs run 8-12 months because that's how long it takes to internalize discipline. Quick courses don't build the mental frameworks you need when markets turn against you.
Our Teaching Method
We don't have a secret strategy or proprietary indicator. Instead, we focus on building judgment through structured practice and honest feedback.
-
Simulation Before Real Capital
Students spend at least three months in demo environments. You'll make every beginner mistake with fake money first, where it doesn't hurt. We review your sim trades to identify emotional patterns before you risk real funds.
-
Small Position Sizing
When you do transition to live trading, we insist on micro positions. Risk 0.5% per trade maximum until you've proven consistency across 100+ trades. This keeps losses manageable during your learning phase.
-
Mandatory Trade Journaling
After each trade, you document your entry reasoning, emotional state, and whether you followed your plan. This creates awareness of your decision-making patterns—especially the destructive ones you don't notice in the moment.
-
Monthly Review Sessions
We meet one-on-one to analyze your trading data. Not just winners and losers, but execution quality. Did you take trades outside your rules? Cut winners early? These reviews help you see patterns you can't identify alone.
Who Teaches Here
Small team. Everyone has traded through real market conditions and made plenty of their own expensive mistakes along the way.
