NICK DEFLORIO

Founder of Onyx Trading Education

Nick Deflorio is an Australian entrepreneur, trader, and educator known for his role in democratising trading education through his company, Onyx Trading Education.

Nick has made a significant impact in the trading community by helping over 1,500 students across eight countries learn how to confidently navigate financial markets, whether in forex, crypto, or other trading avenues​.

Nick Deflorio's journey into trading began in 2016 while he was working as a real estate associate. Intrigued by a colleague who was successfully trading stocks on the side and was generating himself an additional income, Nick quickly became captivated by the potential of trading to generate additional income himself.

His initial experience was a mix of beginner’s luck and hard lessons, which drove him to invest heavily in his education. After two years of persistence and over $6,000 in training expenses, Nick reached a level of consistent profitability and transitioned into full-time trading in 2018.

How Nick Deflorio Founded Onyx Trading Education

Onyx Trading Education wasn't built from a business plan — it started with friends and associates approaching Nick after seeing the early success he had found with his trading, asking if he could help them learn too. Nick began offering his time for free, sitting down with people and walking them through the basics of trading.It didn't take long before people started offering to pay for his time.

That's when Nick recognised something bigger was happening. There was a genuine gap in the market for structured, no-nonsense trading education that actually produced results — not theory-heavy courses or signal services, but a real curriculum built around how everyday people learn.

"When I started seeing people get genuine results in a much quicker time frame than I did, I knew what I was teaching could help people." — Nick Deflorio

When COVID hit in 2020, Nick decided to turn his passion into a real business. The mantra of Onyx Trading Education has always been student success first, so Nick built out his first structured program from the ground up.

Having spent two years and over $6,000 on his own trading education before finding consistency, Nick believed nobody else should have to go through that same slow, expensive process. His mission was clear — to build a result-driven education company that gives complete beginners the fastest, most structured path to trading confidence.

Fast forward to today, Nick Deflorio has trained over 1500 people from across 10 countries. A lot of trading influencers actually starting their journey with Nick Deflorio.

Nick Deflorio's Approach to Trading Education

Nick Deflorio is straightforward about one thing from the start — trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a fantasy.

Nick describes trading as the ultimate online sport. Just like any elite athlete doesn't show up to compete without years of training, discipline and a refined game plan, a trader cannot expect to perform consistently in the markets without putting in the same level of dedicated work.

The difference between a trader who fails and one who succeeds long-term rarely comes down to intelligence — it almost always comes down to process, strategy and the right education.

At the core of Nick's teaching philosophy are three pillars: developing a genuine technical edge in the market, understanding risk management at a deep level, and building the psychological discipline to follow a plan under pressure.

Nick believes most beginner traders skip straight to execution without mastering these foundations, which is exactly why the failure rate in trading is so high.

His program is deliberately structured to slow students down before speeding them up — building real understanding before real money is ever involved. To Nick, consistency is the only metric that matters. Not one big win, not a lucky month — but a repeatable, rule-based approach that holds up across all market conditions.
