When everything stopped,
I started trading.
When COVID hit, government restrictions crushed my businesses. I'd been trading since I was 14 — starting with a demo forex account in high school, then moving into options in college. It was always a skill I was building in the background. With everything shut down, I finally went all in.
For three years, I traded full-time and successfully. I developed a supply and demand methodology using higher timeframe analysis to build a story of what price action was telling me, then took lower timeframe entries with confirmation off refined order blocks and supply/demand zones. I traded with discipline, consistency, and transparency.
I built a community of over 1,000 members on Discord, grew a YouTube channel with 1,600+ subscribers, and published over 100 free videos — trade recaps, market structure breakdowns, live coaching calls. I shared my strategies, my entries, my wins, and my losses. Complete transparency.
But after a few years, I began rebuilding my businesses. I love trading — I always will — but my passion has always been business. I launched my consulting practice back up and things got busy fast. I started building premium websites for luxury watch dealers, launched a healthcare lead generation platform, and dove deep into AI automation and business development strategy.
Today I run Ezra A. Gonzalez Consulting, where I help companies, restaurants, medical practices, law firms, and markets grow through strategic business development, marketing, and AI automation. I build AI employees and automation systems that transform how businesses operate. The trading chapter is closed — but the lessons, the discipline, and the free education I created will always be available.
