About the Founder

⚓ Ben Okopnik is a lifelong autodidact, teacher, and sailor who has always been drawn to complex, demanding challenges—racing cars and motorcycles, flying, exploring remote places, and bluewater navigation. Those same instincts for precision, patience, and situational awareness eventually led him to the markets.

With a background in Big Data engineering and years of focused study, he developed a disciplined approach to trading that emphasizes rational process, risk evaluation, and forward planning over prediction or speed. Starting from a small account, he’s learned to extract a stable income from the same markets that defeat most traders.

Navigating Stocks and Options: The Captain's Log is his field manual for modern market navigation—a synthesis of seamanship, engineering logic, and hard-earned experience meant to help readers stay composed and profitable in uncertain conditions. He writes, trades, and shares his knowledge under the banner of Bluewater Trading.
