Trader Stepan Demura

In the process of studying the stories of successful people who were able to reach financial Olympus thanks to the stock exchange, you will see that in most cases they are either Americans or Europeans.

If you try to find traders from the post-Soviet space, you will find that there are only a few successful people who have made a name for themselves on the stock exchange.

Of course, there are many reasons why this happens, but probably the most important one is, until recently, the lack of access to the stock exchange.

One of the prominent representatives of Russian traders who was able to achieve success in the current difficult conditions is Stepan Demura.

Stepan Demura was born on August 12, 1967.

Since childhood, Stepan showed great interest in economics, mathematics, and physics. It is also worth noting that Stepan was very fond of logic, and it was he who always tried to argue his opinion and knew how to think in more global categories.

In fact, it was these traits that became an excellent foundation in the future, allowing one to become not only a trader and analyst, but also an expert in many financial and economic issues.

Studies

After graduating from school, Stepan decided to master the profession of a rocket engineer, so he decides to enter the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

It is worth noting that Stepan’s love for physics and mathematics allowed him to grasp all the information on the fly, so his studies were very easy for him. Being an exemplary student, Stepan graduated from the institute with honors.

Also, during his studies, Stepan did not forget about his passion for economics and the stock exchange, and by the end of his studies he already had several schemes for making money in his mind, but the lack of money did not allow him to realize his guesses.

After graduation, Stepan Demura moved to the USA, where he was offered a vacant position at the prestigious University of Illinois, namely the University of Chicago.

It is worth noting that Stepan very quickly assimilated into American society, since even in his homeland he studied English in great depth, although some difficulties arose due to the local dialect.

Trader career

Demura first became involved with the stock exchange industry in 1990, when the then well-known company Sheridan Investments LLC invited him as an assistant to develop new trading systems.

It is worth noting that Demura already at that time had his own views on the market and imagined how this could be done. Therefore, without working for a long time, he received a number of promotions and headed the development department.

It was also in this position that Stepan was able to implement his achievements and work with real money for the first time.

In 1994, Step had become a well-known trading systems developer and analyst, so he was offered a position in a government organization that monitored and researched government bonds.

The career ladder in the organization developed at a tremendous pace, so from the position of a simple trader who only executed orders, Demura became the chief analytical engineer who developed a strategy for working with government securities.

In addition to active trading and working as an analyst, Stepan taught the basics of stock trading at the University of Chicago.

Demura's lectures were extremely popular among students, because, unlike other teachers, he was not just a theorist, but at the same time he traded on the stock exchange and could share good advice. A radical turn

At one point, having received a huge amount of knowledge and experience, Stepan quits all his positions and moves back to his homeland in Russia.

In Russia, he begins to actively explore the Moscow Stock Exchange, and a little later he headed and began managing the assets of the Russian Investment Club company.

In 2006, Stepan was invited as an analyst to the RBC TV channel, where he actually hosted a number of programs.

In one of his broadcasts in 2006, Stepna predicted a crisis in the real estate market in the United States and gave a clear forecast of how much this would affect Russia. While everyone had false hopes, Demura strictly adhered to his opinion and repeated this on all television broadcasts, and two years later, when the forecast came true, he became the most popular analyst in Russia.
