MarketLife helps traders at every stage of their journey—whether you're just getting started or looking to refine your edge.
Many traders struggle to cut through the noise—separating proven strategies from empty promises and hype isn't easy. MarketLife was made to change that.
With decades of professional trading experience across every major asset class, Adam Grimes and Tom Hansbury created MarketLife to teach traders how to think independently, develop real skills, and build a lasting edge in the markets. Their approach blends discretionary and quantitative methods, rooted in evidence-based strategies, market psychology, and real-world experience.
Adam has been a professional trader since the mid-1990s, with experience trading stocks, futures, options, currencies, and commodities for hedge funds, prop firms, and institutions. He started on the floor of the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), traded for hedge funds and prop firms, and later taught institutional traders before founding MarketLife. Adam is also the author of The Art and Science of Technical Analysis, a widely respected book on trading strategy.
Tom Hansbury is Adam Grimes' business partner and co-founder at MarketLife Trading. With a background in both programming and trading, Tom plays a key role in building the software and tools for the MarketLife platform. He and Adam first met on a trading desk in New York City, and their shared vision led them to create MarketLife—an education platform built by real traders, for real traders.
Trading doesn't have to be a solo journey. The MarketLife Discord community is a space where traders at all levels come together to share insights, ask questions, and grow. Whether you're looking for support, fresh perspectives, or just a place to talk markets, you'll find a network of like-minded traders here.

Adam's ability to explain things in a clear and simple way has no comparison--simply the best and crystal clear. I would recommend your work to anyone who wants to learn how to trade the markets. I could go on forever praising your work, but there is one word that says it best--it works. Simple as that.

...a membership at MarketLife is the best trading service you can have. There is just so much value. Adam's daily recap is basically him holding your hand day by day in the market. He has been right more often than not. If you have been following him long enough, you will start to wonder how is he so right so often... It's ridiculous... There is value in his watchlist, scanners, chatroom. Tom's smallcap list is also 1 of my favorites. I actually found some success trading it.

I started trading last year in May and it has been such a powerful, wild, and fun ride. I never thought I could learn so much about myself doing this. I want to thank you for the free Art and Science course. I felt stuck and in a place where I had to invest thousands of dollars to go forward. Now I am learning so many little tweaks. I am learning more and more and the homework is fun and super helpful...
