The Turkish talent has risen to be a credible and trusted name in the financial world, who turns struggle into strength. Read on to know more.
There are only a handful of professionals across various fields, particularly in the ever-evolving and highly competitive global trading and financial markets, who have taken an unconventional approach. These highly driven and high-performing professionals also choose such not-so-traditional paths in their careers, as they believe in following a unique purpose to create more value in the lives of others. Sobhan Samadi is all about this and more.
When most people today hear the word ‘trading,’ they only imagine charts, numbers, and the innumerable risks involved. However, Sobhan Samadi believes that trading is beyond all of this. For him, trading isn’t just a profession; it is a lifeline, a passion, and a calling that has today led him to become a frontrunner in the industry, all thanks to his resilience, hard work, and a positive mental attitude. He isn’t just a trader but also an influential figure in Turkey who consistently hosts live trading sessions.
What has created more intrigue among people about Sobhan is his passion for adding more meaning to their lives through his book. Being the organiser of the nation’s most significant trading talent identification events has further strengthened his position in the industry in more ways than one. Trading is often seen as a mysterious pursuit worldwide, but Sobhan has established himself as a mentor and educator in the field.
Like most success stories, Sobhan Samadi’s journey began with hardships and challenges. He transformed it into a unique story by continually overcoming hurdles, innovating, and adding more value to the lives of others through his work in the trading and financial realm. His journey began with one of his life’s most brutal blows, his father’s bankruptcy. Instead of sinking under the weight of the challenge, he used it as a fuel. In his quest for attaining financial freedom, he navigated through the financial markets. Initially, he took on odd jobs, such as working in coffee shops and selling second-hand books, to fund his passion for trading. Later, he went on to carve out his unique niche as a trader and mentor.

After years of pure hard work, overcoming challenges, learning from mistakes, and taking the right actions, he managed to turn his failure into wisdom and success, the way he wanted. He highlights, “I fell in love with the trading world. It challenges me, excites me, and drives me every single day.” One of the biggest contributions he has made to the world of trading is his book, “The Wealthy Trader’s Mindset,” which, unlike other generic guides or quick-money promises, is a book that delves deeply into the psychology of trading and the mental resilience required to succeed. He explains that people often have the notion that trading is solely about numbers and charts, but the real game is in the mind. Samadi emphasizes that mastering mindset is an important part of approaching the market.
One of the primary factors that has allowed Samadi to stand apart is how, through his work, he has created a community of sorts. His impact is beyond his personal trading success as he consistently hosts live trading sessions, which is a rarity in Turkey’s trading scene. Transparency is his hallmark, and by sharing his screen, strategies, and mindset in real time, he demystifies the process and builds trust with his audience. He also feels passionate about discovering new talent, for which he has organised the largest trading talent identification events in Iran. Here, he personally funds and mentors promising traders. He even launched the nation’s biggest trader psychology challenge, pushing participants to sharpen resilience and discipline.
In Iran, Sobhan Samadi is known for his work as a mentor and teacher focused on trading and mindset.
