ABOUT dAVID Capablanca
from architect to master trader
David Capablanca’s journey from architecture to master trader is as inspiring as it is unconventional. Initially immersed in the world of architecture, David studied at the University of Florida and later earned his master’s degree from UCLA. His path, however, took a dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor during his first quarter at UCLA, leading to emergency surgery and a year-long recovery. Despite these challenges, David continued his studies while managing an extensive financial burden from student loans.
Facing mounting debts and limited income as an architect, David was driven to explore new career avenues. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a volatile market environment that David capitalized on, leveraging his meticulous approach honed through years of architectural design to excel in short selling. With just $29,000 to his name, David turned this challenging period into a significant opportunity, mastering the art of short selling amidst market chaos.
David’s success in trading grew, leading to substantial gains during market events like the GameStop and AMC phenomenon. His background in architecture, which had taught him to recognize patterns and structures, proved invaluable in developing a systematic approach to trading.
Today, David Capablanca is not only a seven-figure master trader with a verified 90% win rate but also a dedicated educator.
