A new podcast episode is now available on the Spotware YouTube channel, featuring Raja Banks, a well-known forex trading influencer and the founder of Dominion Markets and Dominion Funding. Raja shares how he earned trader trust, built a powerful personal brand and grew multiple businesses from the ground up.
Raja’s route into the industry is far from conventional. He left university, tried nine times to gain traction and later put those lessons to work, building a brokerage, prop firm and trading academy. That is why he points to what actually wins trust – powerful support, risk discipline built into the experience and founder presence that clients can feel. Raja sets out Dominion’s positioning, values and the vision behind it – to create a “sanctuary for traders”. In addition, he outlines what traders come back for: an environment where they can trade, learn and manage risk, backed by practical tooling.
Raja talks about the fast-evolving prop segment and where it is heading. The conversation also covers AI use cases in analysis and operations, as well as the routines and soft skills he relies on as a founder, including discipline, communication and knowing when to trust others as teams scale.
David Kivakude, the podcast host, said: “Raja Banks is an example of a founder who has translated his experience into a brand that traders recognise, trust and return to. His journey illustrates what it takes to build and scale in this industry, including challenges that are often left unspoken. That is what the podcast series ‘The Man Behind the Company’ is for – to spotlight the people who shape the industry every day.
