FX, CFD & digital asset markets

Strategy. Infrastructure. Growth. Everything a serious trading business is built on.

Eleven years operating inside FX, CFD, and crypto markets — as an operator, not a theorist. If you’re building a brokerage, scaling a sales floor, or moving liquidity across borders, you’re one conversation away from doing it right the first time.

What you're actually hiring

Not another slide deck of best practices. An operator who has already made these decisions with real money on the line.

Operator, not theorist

I run brokerage operations daily. Every recommendation has already been tested with real capital, real regulators, and real clients — not slideware.

Built for discretion

OTC, P2P, and cross-border settlement only work if they’re quiet. Confidentiality isn’t a policy here — it’s the default.

Limited engagements

I work with a small number of clients at a time, by design. Depth over volume, every time.

Both sides of the table

I’ve built brokerages and advised them. Very few consultants in this industry have done both.

The work

Five ways I work with brokerages, founders, sales teams, and traders — separately or together.

FX & CFD

Brokerage Consulting

Most brokerage owners are flying blind on decisions that will define the next five years — regulation, platform, structure. I give you the answer a decade of operating experience already knows, before you spend six figures finding out the hard way.

Infrastructure

Brokerage Build & Launch

The complete build: Company setup to execution. Everything a modern CFD brokerage needs to open its doors and start trading — assembled once already, ready to assemble again for you.

 

Full scope of the build
  • Company formation & regulatory selection
  • MT5, cTrader & platform architecture
  • CRM systems with copy trading & PAMM
  • Payment service provider (PSP) integration
  • KYC & AML policy design
  • Tier-1 liquidity & A/B book management
  • Brand identity for brokerages
  • Prop firm structuring & development
Growth

Business Development & Sales

A brokerage without a sales engine is a cost center. I build the team, the incentives, and the playbook that turn a license into revenue — the part most infrastructure consultants never touch.

Mentorship

Professional Trader Mentorship

Most retail traders lose money because no one ever taught them to operate like a professional. I mentor a select group of serious traders in forex, CFDs, and crypto — process and risk first, signals never.

OTC & P2P

Cross-Border Settlement

When liquidity needs to move across borders quietly, correctly, and fast, this is the desk that handles it — for clients who can’t afford a mistake or a leak.

Track record

Brokerages and platforms I’ve worked with — in operations, business development, and consulting roles.

In their words

What it’s like to work with an operator instead of an outside advisor.

"

Lucas didn’t hand us a report — he sat with our team and rebuilt the parts of our operation that were actually broken. We were live months faster than we expected.

Founder — boutique CFD brokerage
"

The liquidity and settlement work he handled for us needed to be fast and completely discreet. It was both, every time.

Managing Partner — cross-border trading desk
"

I’d traded retail for years before this mentorship. The difference wasn’t a new strategy — it was finally treating risk like a professional does.

Independent trader — FX & crypto

About

I’ve spent over a decade inside the FX, CFD, and crypto industry — not as an outside advisor, but as an operator.

I currently run day-to-day operations at a multi-asset brokerage, working across trading infrastructure, institutional partnerships, and business development. That operating experience is what separates the advice I give from the advice most consultants can offer: I’ve built what I’m advising you to build.

I work with brokerage owners, prop firm founders, IBs, and financial entrepreneurs across Latin America and internationally — and with retail traders serious enough to want to operate like professionals.

Let's talk.

If you’re building a brokerage, scaling a sales team, or need liquidity and settlement handled quietly and correctly — this is a conversation worth having, before the decision gets made without you.
