Her Start and the Turning Point
Yoleny describes the emotional moment she realized she had truly made it. Born in Colombia and raised in Canada, she rebuilt her life, raised a family, and discovered trading through her husband. After a painful career setback, trading became a challenge she could own entirely. She studied relentlessly and opened her Axi account in May 2024, never imagining she would eventually reach the million-dollar stage.

Finding Axi and Building Confidence
Her husband had tried other prop firms that refused to pay even when he performed well, so Axi's transparency stood out immediately. The early stages were tough — she entered quarantine twice as she learned risk management and built discipline. Studying with her husband and shaping a contrarian trading mindset helped her find confidence. Bit by bit, she developed a style rooted in patience and independent thinking.

The Million-Dollar Milestone
On June 30th at 10 p.m., she clicked the button that advanced her into the Pro Million stage. The moment hit her hard — disbelief, tears, pride. She credits her husband for supporting her through countless setbacks, but the achievement felt deeply personal. Managing seven-figure funding hasn’t been simple. She’s had to adapt her approach, refine her entries, and adjust mentally to the scale of capital she now handles.

Stress, Discipline, and Learning to Adapt
Yoleny admits she used to take losses to heart, sometimes crying after tough sessions. Working full-time actually helps her avoid emotional trading and gives her a healthy mental break from market volatility. Walks, structure, and daily routines help her reset. She encourages traders not to rush to quit their jobs. Stability matters, especially when building toward long-term consistency.

Her Biggest Trade and Her Message to Others
Her most memorable win happened in a movie theater — a quick gold setup that paid her $17,000. Her biggest month reached $28,000. But money isn’t the takeaway. Her message is about resilience, patience, and believing in the long road. She encourages more Latina women to step into trading, reminding them that opportunity is real, growth is real, and the only true loss is not trying.
