Roberto’s journey didn’t start with discipline. It started with a lucky win, a painful loss, and years of rebuilding his approach. Today, the trader from Napoli, Italy operates with structure, strict risk control, and the mindset required to trade professionally -full time.
Roberto’s Background: Where It All Started
Roberto made his first move in the markets in 2016, buying Bitcoin before most people were paying attention. When the crypto rally accelerated in 2017, he sold near the top and experienced his first real trading success.
But the win didn’t create a trader. It created overconfidence.
Shortly after, he went into “gamble mode” - no plan, no structure, no risk management. The result was simple: he lost everything he had earned. That moment became the first major turning point in his career.
The Hard Lesson: Humility Comes First
That early failure forced Roberto to confront what trading really is: not luck, not adrenaline, and not intuition. It’s a profession built on preparation and control.
Instead of quitting, he took the long route. He spent years studying trading systems, macroeconomics, and market structure -building the foundation he didn’t have at the start.
The Missing Piece: Mentorship
One of Roberto’s biggest regrets is learning everything alone.
He believes having a mentor early would have shortened the process dramatically and prevented costly mistakes. Trying to compete against the market with no guidance, no framework, and no feedback loop made the learning curve steeper than it needed to be.
Moving Beyond Crypto: Why Roberto Switched to Forex and Commodities
Roberto spent around three years focused mainly on cryptocurrency. But eventually, he shifted his focus into Forex and commodities.
For him, the difference was clarity and precision. He found institutional markets more structured, more consistent, and better suited to building stable performance over time.
That shift wasn’t just about instruments—it was about maturity as a trader.
Why Trading in a Prop Firm Environment Changed Everything
One of the biggest advantages Roberto highlights is the ability to trade serious capital without exposing personal savings to the market.
For him, a prop firm environment creates a cleaner path:
Instead of relying on emotions and improvisation, he could focus on process and execution.

Risk Management: The Difference Between Surviving and Winning
Risk management is the core theme of Roberto’s story because it was the exact skill he lacked in the beginning.
He explains that many traders don’t actually fail because they’re wrong -they fail because their risk is uncontrolled. In his case, lower leverage and better position management could have kept him alive long enough to recover.
Over time, discipline became non-negotiable. And the structure of prop firm rules helped reinforce it.
Why The Trading Pit?
Roberto had previously lost trust in prop firms after a bad experience with another company. That hesitation lasted until he found The Trading Pit. What rebuilt his confidence was simple:
fast rewards
low spreads
no hidden rules
That clarity allowed him to stop worrying about the environment and put full attention back on trading performance.
