At 24, Miami-based day trader Alex G has the swagger, discipline, and car collection of someone twice his age. But his story doesn’t start in the fast lane. Born to Cuban parents who spoke little English when they arrived in the U.S., Alex grew up speaking Spanish and struggled through school, barely scraping by high school with grades he’ll tell you straight up were “shitty.”
Jobs like Dunkin’ Donuts. Early mornings, long shifts, and a growing realization that the nine-to-five path wasn’t going to cut it. That pressure flipped into hunger. “I didn’t want the lifestyle everybody else settles for,” he says. “I had to find something different.”
That something turned out to be trading. Not the glamorous social media version. The lonely, gritty, obsessive craft that requires thousands of hours of losing before learning. For Alex, the climb started there.
Alex treats trading like a founder with a billionaire sitting across the table. “I look at trades the way Mark Cuban looks at business pitches,” he says. “You don’t invest in every idea. You choose the best ones.”
That selectiveness is the backbone of his philosophy. No emotional trades. No gambling energy. Everything is approached like an investment with rules: minimum one-to-three risk-reward, trend-focused, clean setups only.
His wildest headline? Turning 100 dollars into 1 million. But he doesn’t dress it up. He explains it with the brutal honesty most gurus avoid. “I went 100% risk every trade up to around 5K. Then I lowered it. Failed five times. Took a year and a half. Showed up every day for 90 days straight.”
The magic wasn’t the strategy. It was the obsession.
The trading world is chaotic, loud, and full of misinformation. Alex’s filter is simple: focus on trending markets, ignore outsiders who don’t understand the craft, and treat trading like a long-term skill, not a casino.
“Don’t get into trading if you’re just trying to make money,” he says. “Treat it like you’re learning something that takes time. You’ll save yourself thousands.”
That mindset carried into entrepreneurship. Alex now co-owns Fan Funded, a sports-betting platform backed by proprietary tech. And when people ask about the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make, he fires back without hesitation: “They expect to make money right away. That’s not how this works. You’re about to work way more than a nine-to-five.”
For him, the formula is simple: show up every day, ignore opinions from people who have no idea what you’re doing, and commit to the long learning curve.
If you know Alex, you know the cars. The Recent Mclaren Elva to the 2 Bugatti Chirons, GT3 RS. Ferrari. A boosted Z06 pushing 1200 horsepower. Around fifteen cars total, depending on which shop they’re in. But what looks like flexing is actually strategy.
“I don’t party, I don’t go out. I work, I trade, and I buy sick shit,” he says.

Beyond trading and cars, Alex has carved out a lane in content. His viral clips, bold stunts, and raw personality have racked up massive views. The secret? Originality.
“People just copy each other. I wanted to make my own trend,” he says. “I don’t want to be a wish version of anyone else.”
And that’s part of why your collaboration resonated with him. It’s authentic energy bouncing off authentic energy. The 10K challenge, the magazine feature, the joint upside — he’s down for all of it. “If we win, we win together,” he says.
Where does Alex see himself in five years? “Probably retired in like an hour.”
Whether he’s joking or calling his shot, one thing is clear: the man is moving with certainty, chaos, and calculated risk all at once. His final message? “Set and forget. Give 100%.”
