In a cluttered corner of his home office, AJ Mudronja leans over three monitors, scanning currency pairs with the meticulous calm of someone who has done it for years. The hum of the market fills the room not with noise but with decisions waiting to be made. What makes this scene different is not the setup or even the man behind the screen, but what he does next.
Mudronja pushes out a trade idea with a few keystrokes, a trading signal which includes suggested entry and exit points to more than 23000 people around the world. He requires no payment. He offers no gated membership. He shares only the raw trade market direction, stop-loss, and take-profit levels. Access to such signals often costs thousands annually in this industry, making this method both rare and disruptive.
Mudronja has built Signals with AJ on this model, a Telegram-based platform that quietly changes how new traders access live trading insights. Users find it free, fast and gaining traction across continents.
The Rise of a Free Model in a Premium Market
Exclusivity has long dominated the education trading business. Traditional systems lock information, tools and mentorship behind expensive subscriptions or institutional credentials. Retail trading gained momentum during the pandemic, and paywalled signal services became increasingly popular as they promised lucrative results to eager, often inexperienced participants.
Mudronja, a seasoned proprietary trader, chose a different path. “I never saw the point of withholding value until someone pays,” he said. “Most people who want to learn do not even know what they are buying.”
His model operates both counterculturally and tactically. Signals with AJ provides daily trading signals from his positions, which he shares live without embellishment. Users can follow his trades, observe strategy, or simply study market behavior. This creates a practical learning loop that eliminates guesswork commonly associated with beginner trading education.
Mudronja explains his reasoning simply. “People trust what they can see. The traditional education model in trading is broken because it asks people to believe before they understand,” he said. “We flipped that around.”
His no-cost model emerges amid a noticeable shift in trading behavior across the UAE. Proprietary trading interest in the region has sharply risen from 2020 to 2024, reflecting a broader appetite for flexible, skill-based income streams. Futures and forex have led this movement, with a growing wave of younger traders in their twenties exploring alternative markets in pursuit of financial independence.
The algorithmic trading sector is expected to grow globally at a compound annual rate of 12.2 percent through 2030, with the UAE positioning itself as a key player in this expansion. As this trend accelerates, real-time education platforms like Signals with AJ become increasingly relevant, catering to users prioritizing practical experience over passive theory.
Internal data shows that thousands of users have followed signals into live trades, with many now generating consistent monthly income. Some report achieving $10,000 in monthly earnings within a few months—a milestone once seen as attainable only by seasoned professionals.
“There is this misconception that beginners need years before they can be profitable,” Mudronja said. “But with the right discipline and a clear system, people can start seeing results in months, not years. That is what we are seeing over and over.”
The Link to Funded Trading and Long-Term Vision
Signals with AJ succeeds as part of a larger ecosystem, not as an isolated development. AJ Mudronja, the founder of both platforms, built FundedX to offer traders access to real capital once they prove their skills through a performance challenge. Seamus Synnott, serving as Chief Executive Officer of both firms, has helped drive its recent international expansion. Signals with AJ focuses on education and community, while FundedX extends the opportunity into funded, scalable income.
“The two platforms connect, but there is no obligation to move from one to the other,” said Mudronja. “Signals build skill. FundedX gives capital to those who prove they are ready.”
This pipeline from learning to funding reflects a growing shift in financial accessibility. Individuals can now chart their own course, rather than investing in costly degrees or relying on institutional gatekeepers. They start with free daily guidance and progress toward institutional-level trading opportunities.
Self-starters in emerging markets find this method especially resonant. Users from Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa join the Telegram group daily, expanding Mudronja’s audience well beyond its Australian roots. He attributes much of this success to the low barrier to entry and the transparent value exchange.
A Quiet Shift in Financial Power
Signals with AJ functions as more than a platform. It responds to the exclusivity that has long defined financial literacy and access. The service changes what financial mentorship looks like by offering real time insight without cost.
“When you take away the cost, you see who really wants to learn,” he said. “We have had Uber drivers, university students and parents with no financial background come in and start earning consistent income. That changes lives.”
Mudronja carefully emphasizes discipline. “A signal works just as a blueprint. Without risk management, it becomes useless,” he noted. Each post comes with a short explanation, giving users context on why he takes a trade, what patterns form and how to manage outcomes.
The platform remains minimal as just a Telegram channel with a loyal following yet offers a glimpse into a broader shift in financial education. This creates an environment where learning becomes democratized, performance remains measurable and traders earn access by merit not money.
