How a self-made entrepreneur went from building a 7-figure trading brand to leading a hedge fund trade desk—and mentoring the future of finance.
Before he was steering live capital through global markets at an institutional level, Cristhofer Muñoz was building tools, platforms, and people.
He first made waves as a community trading advocate, known for breaking down complex market dynamics and empowering retail traders through raw, honest education. But Muñoz wasn’t just a voice—he was an architect.
With grit and vision, he launched Level Up Enterprises, a financial education and software brand. At its core was Level Up Algo, a proprietary trading system designed to help traders make smarter, faster, and more disciplined decisions. What began as a niche product quickly evolved into a 7-figure brand, used by thousands across the trading world.
Through this journey, Muñoz proved two things: he could lead innovation, and he could lead people. Wall Street noticed.
Today, Cristhofer Muñoz serves as Head of the Trade Desk at a Wall Street hedge fund, a role that places him at the center of multi-million-dollar execution, macro strategy, and live risk control.
Unlike traditional leaders who climbed the institutional ladder, Muñoz rose from the outside—earning his credibility through performance, not pedigree.
He brings the sharpness of retail hustle, the systems-thinking of a builder, and the operational rigor of a seasoned strategist. His desk isn’t just a control center—it’s a command post.
He’s now the lead mentor and educator for aspiring quant traders and hedge fund managers, many of whom come from Ivy League schools. In an industry where mentorship is rare and real-world exposure rarer, Muñoz is changing the playbook.
His approach is simple and radical: live practice over lectures.
Under his leadership, interns and new recruits are integrated directly into the hedge fund’s operations—executing, analyzing, and iterating in real time. It’s not theory. It’s immersion.
“I’m not here to hand them credentials,” he says. “I’m here to hand them real pressure, real execution, and real growth.”
Muñoz represents a new blueprint for financial leadership—one forged at the intersection of community, code, and capital.
He’s redefining what it means to lead: from grassroots trading rooms to Wall Street trade floors. From building software used by retail traders, to guiding the hands that move institutional capital. From training followers online to mentoring elite talent face-to-face.
And most remarkably, he’s doing it all without forgetting where he started.
With ongoing expansion in AI-enhanced trading systems, a growing presence in quant education, and the development of next-gen capital strategies under his fund’s umbrella, Cristhofer Muñoz isn’t just keeping up with the Street—he’s reshaping its future.
