The Frugal U was founded by Troy Mitchel, also known as Frugal Mitch, to address the real reasons most traders struggle: emotional decisions, poor risk management, and lack of structure.

Through experience, it became clear that strategies alone don’t create consistency. Without clear rules, defined risk, and discipline, results remain unpredictable. The Frugal approach is intentionally simple:

fewer trades, clear logic, controlled risk, and repeatable execution.
This platform exists to help traders stop guessing and start following a structured process they can trust.
