About Adrian
Adrian Caldwell is the Founder and Lead Analyst of ITAfx (Institutional Trading Academy Ltd.). Before founding ITAfx, he spent years trading his own strategies while working through the same evaluation-style prop-firm model most funded traders go through today, and ran into the same friction most traders describe: firms that profit disproportionately when traders fail, rules that shift after purchase, and payout timelines that are never actually guaranteed in writing.
“I could read the market. I just couldn’t afford to trade it. Prop firms changed that, until I realized most of them profit when traders fail. So I built one that doesn’t.”
