From ministry to markets—proving that purpose and performance can grow together.
Why I Do What I Do
For over 30 years, I worked in pastoral ministry. I built teams that helped start new churches, grow campuses, and create worship experiences that invited people into a new journey of faith.
In 2021, I co-founded a nonprofit called Thrive 10:10. There, I helped create the Pathway to Thriving—a simple framework that helps people move from survival to stability and abundance. Through mentoring, financial education, and personal growth, we offered more than help. We offered direction and hope.
As I saw how important financial strength is, I shifted into entrepreneurship. I founded Golden Rule Trades, where I teach new and intermediate traders a proven system to trade the markets with clarity, confidence, and consistency.
Through it all, my college sweetheart, Ken, has been by my side—my biggest supporter and partner in life’s journey.

TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
"The Morning Method has been working really well for me. One thing I've been doing is trading only micros. It doesn't seem like much but the little profits accumulate little by little. This method works. All you have to have is patience and practice. It took me only one good trade to make up for the price that occurs. This is a really good method. Thank you, Vicky." - Mariano
"Thank you Vicky...the Morning Method has been amazing for me. Four days straight profit...and today 2x my target again. Finding you and this method has been the single best discovery in trading for me." — Douglas
II was cautiously optimistic as I got into this with the Morning Method...but now I am fully convinced I can cut my losses and let my winners run and be consistently profitable. - Mark
Of all the trading systems I have tried to use, your system is the best and most profitable. I use no other system than yours now. - George L
TESTIMONIALS
About the account tracker...at the beginning of each month I buy a $50k evaluation account with trader funding.
I trade it in the Morning Method Live Trading Room each week and the balance you see is the balance in that account as of the latest update.
It is my goal to pass the evaluation within that month. To see the method used to trade that account, check it out HERE.
