our vision

Our vision is to empower the next generation of profitable traders by equipping them with rigorous, meticulous education and resources they need to succeed. FBU's mission is to vanquish the 90% failure rate among retail traders.

​our Mission

At Friendly Bear University, our mission is to provide traders with the tools, knowledge and resources they need to become profitable and succeed in the markets. We aim to cultivate a community of traders who focus on consistency and strive for excellence in and outside of trading. Through our platform, courses, webinars, masterclasses, live trading workshops and coaching we strive to inspire and equip traders to overcome challenges, unlock their full potential, and create a positive impact on their trading. 

​

We believe that the high failure rate in trading is due to a lack of rigor and meticulousness in the approach of trading education. These lacking areas have led retail traders astray and contribute to the high failure rate (over 90% by some studies) among day traders. At Friendly Bear University, our mission is to eradicate this phenomenon with proper rigorous trading education and an internal culture of excellence.
