About Me
Trader, trainer, entrepreneur — making the markets understandable for over 30 years.
I'm Luc Vaudan. For more than three decades I've had one obsession: helping people understand how markets really move, and work with method instead of luck. Everything I've built — schools, conferences, books, television, technology — comes back to that.
Training & coaching It started in 2005 with Boursierassistance, the first officially accredited trading school in France, built around a real trading floor near the Paris Opéra — teaching trading the way it's actually practised, hands-on and open to everyone. From there I built complete theory-and-practice programmes, created Traders Job to help trainees enter the professional world, opened the first dedicated trading school in Morocco, launched a Boursierassistance franchise in Aix-en-Provence and a permanent Salon du Trading at the Paris Opéra, and later a Coach Trading Camp in Barcelona. Across France and abroad I've trained hundreds of retail and institutional learners — including teams from banks such as Banque Postale, Société Générale, Amundi, BMCI, BMCE, and Attijariwafa. Coaching is still the heart of what I do.
Conferences & speaking From a seminar at TraderExpo in New York to the Luxe Bourse & Trading Days in Tahiti, I've run more than 50 international events — New York, Hong Kong, Marrakech, Barcelona, Tahiti. I've spoken at the Sorbonne and at numerous international conferences on trading, investing, entrepreneurship, and artificial intelligence, sharing the same method with audiences worldwide.
Technology & AI I've always wanted to turn serious method into tools people can actually use. That led from S4Traders (professional trading workstations) to real-time strategy-alert services — Forexalertes, Stocksalertes, Futuresalertes and then Tradersalertes, one of the first professional alert services — and an automatic chart-pattern recognition tool. In 2020 I founded Genius Station, bringing machine learning and deep learning to multi-asset analysis with adaptive risk management. Its evolution, Genius AI, is now headquartered in Singapore and analyses thousands of assets in real time. And with TradingPartners (tradingpartners.ai), institutional players can connect their own platforms to Genius AI, receive its strategies, and run them for themselves or their clients. Same mission as the classroom: rigorous method, made usable.
Media & television In 2008 I launched Boursier TV, the first television channel dedicated to the stock market in France. In 2017 I went further with TV For Money, the first private subscription channel dedicated entirely to finance and the markets — hundreds of live broadcasts, real-time analysis, and original shows such as The Luc Money Late Show and the Traders Money Show. My work has also been featured across Canal+, M6, France 3, Europe 1, Capital, Le Matin, and Financial Afrik. Financial television made the way I always wanted to teach: live, rigorous, accessible.
Writing Writing is how I share what years on the markets have taught me. I've published several books — practical guides to chart reading and the logic of price, plus specialised glossaries covering traditional trading and crypto — written by a practitioner, for people who want to understand price rather than memorise indicators. I've also written widely read articles on subjects like the real dangers of the stop-loss, using AI to support performance, standalone orders, fully automated trading, automated position sizing, margin optimization with AI, and the average-drawdown strategy. Find them all in the Books and Articles sections.
Support for entrepreneurs In 2012 I launched creertaboite.com, a platform to guide young entrepreneurs through building their projects — the same idea carried beyond the markets: give people the method and the tools to build something of their own.
Beyond the screen What drives me hasn't changed in over thirty years: helping people understand the markets and work with method instead of luck. Outside trading, I recharge through board sports and boxing — disciplines that teach the same things the markets do: patience, composure, and respect for risk.
