Discipline. Earned in uniform.
John Dunham is a U.S. Army veteran and former senior member of the Missile Defense Agency. Today he leads TROI, a private mentorship for traders and operators who want a real skill that compounds.
From battlefield to markets and beyond.
Senior member, Missile Defense Agency.
John spent years serving his country as a senior member of the U.S. Army and the Missile Defense Agency. The work demanded preparation, patience, and the calm execution of a tested plan under pressure, skills that translate directly to the trading floor and the boardroom.
From service to self-direction.
After transitioning to civilian life, John built success across real estate investment and retail trading, applying the same discipline-first methodology he had used in the military to financial markets and entrepreneurial ventures.
A private practice for serious practitioners.
In 2018, John founded TROI Trading & Tech with one mission: connect serious people with serious mentors. No income claims. No shortcuts. No hype. Just a community of active master traders and a structured curriculum built on discipline.
Trading, building, investing.
John does not just talk theory. He trades. He builds. He invests. And he connects you with the right mentors, tools, and community to help you succeed, whether your path is the markets, technology, or both.
Military discipline, applied to markets.
Missile defense systems run on tested procedure, calm execution, and absolute clarity about risk. So do trading practices that survive a decade. John translates the same engineering discipline that ran Missile Defense Agency operations into the everyday work of retail trading: a pre-flight checklist before every session, a defined risk envelope before every entry, and a post-session review that turns every loss into intelligence for the next trade.
It's the opposite of hype. There are no copy-trades, no "secret indicators," and no income claims. Just the boring, repeatable cadence that lets serious practitioners compound a small edge over years — the same way veteran-led operations compound capability over a career.
- 01Tested plan before pressure. Every cohort builds and stress-tests their plan before a single live entry. No improvisation under fire.
- 02Risk envelope first. The 1% rule is non-negotiable. Position sizing is computed before the trade, not after.
- 03Calm execution. Pre-session breathing, hard cutoff times, and rules against revenge trading. The mind is the asset.
- 04After-action review. Weekly trade reviews with mentor feedback. The veteran's AAR loop, applied to charts.
"Markets reward those who show up every day, not those who show up lucky."
Built on experience, not theory.
