Tomás Novák

Senior Analyst

Prague, Czech Republic

Tomás has three years of direct experience with prop firm challenges, having failed multiple evaluations before consistently passing, a journey that shapes his practical, no-shortcuts approach to writing trading guides. He studied information systems in Prague and worked in logistics before transitioning to trading content full-time. At PF Matrix, he focuses on educational guides and deal coverage, and personally tests and verifies every promo code and discount listed on the site. In his spare time, he plays way too much Dota 2 and experiments with homemade hot sauce.
