Nick Syiek, known as TraderNick, is a US trader and YouTuber who founded A1 Trading, which sells a paid VIP Discord with trade signals, webinars and a strategy library.
Nick Syiek, who publishes as TraderNick, is an American trader and YouTuber and the founder of A1 Trading, a company that sells market scanners, trade signals and a paid trading community. According to his profile on the A1 Trading website, he began trading at 18, created the TraderNick YouTube channel in 2018 and launched A1 Trading in 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia. His channel description says he has traded indices, currencies and options for more than seven years. His age is not stated in any source reviewed for this profile.
A1 Trading's website terms identify the operating entity as TraderNick's Forex Group, LLC, doing business as A1 Trading. Besides the paid community, the company sells software: EdgeFinder, a forex, indices and commodities scanner, and StockBox, a stock financials and sentiment scanner. The site also offers free dashboards, calculators and written trading lessons, and lists a team that includes lead traders Marko Greguric, Alan Perez and Chris Pulver.
He publishes on the TraderNick YouTube channel, which had 553,000 subscribers and about 3,100 videos when read on September 16, 2026, with daily live sessions at the US market open. The company channel, A1 Trading, had 28,800 subscribers on the same date. The official site also links Instagram, X and Facebook accounts under the handle tradernickfx.
The main paid education offer is the A1 Trading VIP community, run on Discord. According to the sales page, members get trade ideas from Nick Syiek, Marko Greguric and Alan Perez with entries, exits and stops (the page says 0 to 3 trades per day), a downloadable strategy library, an educational library, a VIP chatroom and live coaching webinars. Chris Pulver's alerts are sold separately. The pricing page on September 16, 2026 listed three plans: Monthly at $199 per 30 days, Yearly at $699 and a lifetime Gold plan at $999, each shown with a 40% discount through a coupon code at checkout ($119, $419 and $599). Checkout is by card or PayPal. The website terms state that all sales are final.
The VIP page states that Nick Syiek's trades returned +344% from March 2020 to April 2026 with an approximately 31% maximum drawdown. That figure is the company's own claim; no independent verification of it was found. The same page says the service does not guarantee profits and discourages members from blindly copying trades, and the site's terms say A1 Trading is not a registered investment adviser or broker-dealer.
On September 16, 2026, no individual named Syiek appeared in FINRA BrokerCheck or the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure database, which is consistent with the company's statement that it is not a registered adviser. A web search of the CFTC, FTC, SEC and US Department of Justice websites on the same date returned no action under his name, TraderNick or TraderNick's Forex Group. The NFA BASIC database and the Georgia Secretary of State business registry were not consulted. No independent press coverage of him was located for this profile beyond a 2020 Benzinga article, which reads as promotional and is not relied on here.
