"I’ve been taking courses with Gilles for over a year now, and I can honestly say it has completely transformed my life. Before his classes, I struggled with knowing where to start and how to build a solid financial foundation. Saving, investing, and especially trading all felt overwhelming. But Gilles has a gift for teaching—his 30 years of experience really shows in the way he breaks down complex ideas into simple, practical steps that anyone can understand and apply.

Through his Savings and Investing courses, I not only learned how to manage my money better, but I also gained the confidence to start making smart investment decisions. I’ve taken those principles and successfully applied them to my own trading, which has opened doors for me that I never thought possible. For the first time, I feel in control of my financial future instead of just hoping things work out.

What really sets Gilles apart is his honesty and transparency. He doesn’t sugarcoat things or sell unrealistic promises—he teaches you both the opportunities and the risks, and makes sure you’re fully prepared for the real world of finance. He’s always been available to answer questions, patient in his explanations, and genuinely invested in my success. That level of care and support is rare to find.

These courses aren’t just about money—they’re about changing your life. Thanks to Gilles, I’ve built the knowledge and confidence to not only grow my savings and investments, but also succeed in trading. I truly believe this will impact me for the rest of my life. Nothing in the world could ever thank him enough for what he’s given me: the skills, the mindset, and the belief that I can build the financial future I’ve always wanted."

My Unique Approach:
Learn the WSTM Way

 

Most “gurus” sell shortcuts.
I teach systems, discipline, and mindset — because investing and trading are skills you can master with the right guide.


From the moment we connect, my goal is simple:
To help you gain confidence, develop your edge, and build a foundation for long-term financial success.

Why I Do This

 

I started WSTM to pass down everything I’ve learned — not just to my two daughters, but to anyone who wants to take control of their financial future. This is my second act in life — and just like my first, it’s built on teaching, clarity, and purpose.
