Vicky Kelley

Vicky Kelley is a futures trader, educator, and co-founder of Golden Rule Trades. She began trading more than 20 years ago while maintaining a full-time career as a pastor and co-founding a nonprofit organization.

Over the years, Vicky gained experience trading stocks, options, and futures before making futures her primary trading vehicle. In 2022, she founded Golden Rule Trades to help beginning-to-intermediate futures traders—especially those who have accumulated plenty of trading knowledge but still lack a clear, repeatable framework for putting that knowledge into practice.

Her teaching philosophy centers on radical simplicity, rules-based decision-making, disciplined risk management, and consistency of process. Rather than adding more indicators, strategies, and complexity, Vicky helps traders simplify their approach and develop objective rules for when to trade, when to stay out, and how to manage risk.

Her frameworks are designed to be adaptable across different account types and position sizes, including smaller personal accounts, trader funding programs, and larger self-funded accounts.

Through Golden Rule Trades, Vicky’s goal is simple: help traders replace unnecessary complexity and impulsive decision-making with a structured process they can understand, practice, and execute consistently.
