About Marc Walton
30+ years in Financial Markets
Marc Walton
Veteran Forex Mentor and trader. Retired Fund Manager
Marc Walton, is a Professional Forex Mentor and Trader, and ex-fund manager, who has been working in the finance industry for over 25+ years. He started FMP in 2008 and mentors students how to trade professionally.
He retired from full-time trading in spring 2020 and now focuses on running Forex Mentor Pro, which is his passion. On top of that, he takes on a few private clients who wish to fast-track their trading progress each year. He also actively invests in metals, mining stocks and cryptocurrencies which he shares with students in his second business, Your Investing Future.
In 2000, Marc sold his very successful business in the UK & emigrated with his young family to the Canary Islands. He lived out his desire to be a musician for the first few years, and on the side, he was trying to learn how to trade (badly!). After losing +$20k in trades & spending another $10k on wonder systems, he was on the verge of quitting.
After luckily finding a real mentor, he worked privately with Rich Friesen for 6 months and managed to turn things around. He became consistently good at taking trades and was introduced to a fund in the US. He began trading their account while living in a beautiful part of the world, trading for just a few hours a day.

Forex Mentor
Semi-Retired Trader & Ex-Fund Manager
Alternate Investor
I traded stocks during the dot-com boom in the late '90s, gold & commodities in the 2000s, and in 2020, I entered crypto, buying Bitcoin at $8k and riding it to $100k. Now, in 2026, my focus is on metals and mining stocks.
My Career Path
1998
I traded stocks throughout the dot.com boom in the 90’s
Starting in 1981 I built 3 “brick and mortar” businesses from scratch, starting out with no money and just a dream in mind. I was determined to make it work and this burning desire enabled me to semi-retire aged 40.
My wife and I became property investors and bought a number of houses using a strategy that a successful friend of mine kindly shared with us.
I started trading forex in 2002
In 2005 I was introduced to a fund in the US and began trading their account
By 2006
By 2006 I was trading $million funds for private clients. To do this successfully, I needed to become an expert on world financial markets.
I started posting my trades on Twitter in 2008 and built up a following of interested traders. I received many requests asking me to teach others how to trade like a pro.
In 2008 I launched Forex Mentor Pro; an online training education site that has helped over 13,850 students. We have a 5* rating on our mentorship program which is something we are extremely proud of.
Over the years I received requests from some of my students asking to work with me 1:1, so I began offering private lessons to just a handful of people each year. I still do this to date.
Since 2020
In 2019 I began investing in cryptocurrencies and in 2020 I launched a new site teaching folks how to invest in crypto. I shared my portfolio of coins with my students and many of them saw over a +1000% ROI. Those times were crazy!
I semi-retired from trading fx for clients in 2020 as I wanted to travel more. Now my main focus is on alternate investing, Forex Mentor Pro and my private clients.
I am actively investing in metals, mining stocks and cryptocurrencies.
