How TJR Trades Built a Million-Subscriber Community by Being Real About the Markets
In the ever-evolving world of day trading, where market volatility and digital hype often collide, one young entrepreneur has built a name grounded in something rare — transparency. TJR Trades, known to millions of followers simply as TJR, is reshaping how trading education is delivered online. Instead of selling dreams of instant wealth, he opens the curtain and lets viewers watch every move — the wins, the mistakes, and the lessons that follow.
Born April 6, 2002, in San Francisco, USA, Tyler J. Riches began trading in his teenage years, teaching himself to read charts and understand market behavior long before most people his age were thinking about investments. Now at just 23, he’s not only a skilled trader but also a global educator and digital creator based in Miami, Florida. Standing 6’7” tall and fluent in English and Spanish, TJR brings an energy and charisma to his work that has helped him connect with an international audience of aspiring traders.
Through his brand TJR Trades and his company TJR LLC, he has created a platform that blends education, entertainment, and community. His YouTube channel, now surpassing one million subscribers, is at the heart of this movement. Every week, thousands tune in to watch him trade live, analyze charts, and discuss the realities of financial markets in real time. What sets him apart is not just his skill but his willingness to be authentic — showing both profit and loss as part of the journey. It’s this honesty that has earned him the trust of a generation hungry for real insight in a world full of noise.
Beyond YouTube, TJR teaches across multiple platforms, hosting live mentorship sessions, Q&A discussions, and strategy breakdowns that go far deeper than traditional “signals” or “quick-win” advice. He believes trading is a craft — one that requires discipline, patience, and mental control as much as technical analysis. His mission is to make professional-level trading education accessible to everyone, not just those with financial privilege or prior experience.
As the founder and CEO of TJR LLC, he has spent more than six years refining his trading systems and building a global community that continues to grow each day. His bilingual communication allows him to reach both English- and Spanish-speaking traders, creating one of the most inclusive trading communities online. For TJR, trading is not just about numbers — it’s about personal growth and mindset. “Every trade is a reflection of how you handle pressure, risk, and emotion,” he often says to his followers.
Looking ahead, TJR plans to expand his reach beyond education into technology-driven platforms and brand collaborations, all while keeping transparency and authenticity at the center of his work. His journey from a Utah-born teenager experimenting with trades to a Miami-based entrepreneur and mentor with a global following is proof that the future of financial education lies in openness, not illusion.
TJR Trades is more than a brand — it’s a movement. One built on real trading, real teaching, and real people learning how to take control of their financial future. And as TJR continues to grow his platform, his message remains the same: knowledge, discipline, and honesty are the true keys to success in the markets.
