As the founder of Martin.BTC | Community, I began my career as an analyst at Point72 and had the privilege of participating in its internal research and strategic planning projects. During that time, I not only learned the selection logic of top global buy-side investment institutions, the growth path of portfolio managers, and trader training systems, but—more importantly—I gained first-hand understanding of their strict standards for capital management, risk control, and behavioral psychology. This experience had a profound impact on me personally and became one of the key cornerstones for my subsequent independent development and the creation of this community.

After leaving the institutional framework and becoming an independent trader, I spent years building and refining my own live trading system. Starting from rigorous capital management and centered on live-trading drills, it integrates macro analysis with technical research and has gradually evolved into the training path and strategy framework of today’s Martin.BTC | Community. By 2025, our community structure had become sufficiently mature, and we established a partnership with Point72 Academy.

This partnership is both a continuation and an elevation. It was not the starting point for creating the community; rather, it was introduced only after the community reached a certain scale and structure, as a high-standard interface for alignment. The cooperation mainly includes the following:

1.Referral Channel
The community holds referral privileges and can recommend members who demonstrate consistent performance, strong capital-management ability, and mature behavioral structure for the initial screening process at Point72 Academy. Admission decisions are made independently by Point72, but this genuine channel offers a direct upward opportunity for a select few with real potential.

2.Alignment of Training Standards
Some of the community’s internal training logic and evaluation methods have been adjusted and optimized with reference to the Point72 Academy system. This ensures our training path consistently meets the requirements of world-class institutions and provides those truly committed to becoming professional traders with standards that are closer to the real market.

3.Scope of Collaboration
Point72 Academy does not participate in the day-to-day operations of Martin.BTC | Community; the community’s development is entirely independent. We have always emphasized that this community has, from the beginning, been an extension of our team-trading system and does not belong to any external institution. The involvement of Point72 simply gives us a higher benchmark and a more rigorous target interface.

The original intent behind founding Martin.BTC | Community is clear—to build a place that can operate over the long term and genuinely cultivate stable traders. The existence of Point72 Academy is not for brand display; it is to provide those who are truly capable, able to handle pressure, and committed for the long run with a real pathway upward. If you have such potential, we will vouch for you and recommend you into a higher-level training system.

Throughout this process, our team serves as traders, mentors, and selectors. Our responsibility is not merely to help members make money, but to help those with true potential in the community find a higher stage that fits them.
