When you join a paid trading community the first question that matters isn’t price — it’s who’s actually teaching you. I’ve paid for Discord groups where the “head trader” was a 22-year-old who’d never seen a bear market and a “mentor” who turned out to be a sales rep with a stock chart background. TTC is different. The team is real. They post real charts under their real names and they take live questions from members at uncomfortable hours of the day. This is the breakdown of the TTC Cabin Crew — who they are, what each one brings, and which sessions they run.
Short answer: The TTC Cabin Crew is the team of pro traders who teach and run live sessions inside Trade Travel Chill (referral) — the crypto trading community founded by Annii Snelleksz. The current roster is Annii Snelleksz (founder, Dubai), Cajun Spice (Doha-based, global firms background), Janet Hauiti (no-nonsense mindset and habit coach), Cody Selby (TBD method specialist, runs Friday hangouts), and NRJ (former retail trader turned coach). Live coverage spans Asia, Europe, and US sessions. First Class members get direct Discord access to all of them.

Key takeaways
- “Cabin Crew” is the in-house name for TTC’s team of pro traders and coaches.
- Five named coaches: Annii Snelleksz, Cajun Spice, Janet Hauiti, Cody Selby, NRJ.
- Coverage spans multiple time zones — Asia, Europe, US — so live sessions are available no matter where you are.
- Each coach has a different specialism: TBD framework, mindset, scalp, fundamentals, retail-to-pro progression.
- Direct Discord access to the Cabin Crew is a First Class membership feature (Business Class gets recordings).
- The teaching model is mentorship-style — not guru-driven, not Lambo-photo content.
What “Cabin Crew” means at TTC
The naming comes from the brand itself: Trade. Travel. Chill. The aesthetic is built around the idea that crypto trading is a skill you can do from anywhere — and the team is the in-flight crew that gets you there safely.
It’s a branding choice, sure, but it also captures something real about the dynamic. You’re not learning from a single guru with a sales funnel. You’re being supported by a team of people across multiple time zones, with overlapping skill sets, who handle different parts of the learning curve.
The way TTC frames it: the Cabin Crew is there to make sure you reach your destination — not to fly the plane for you. You’re still the one placing the trades. They’re the ones keeping you from making the dumbest version of every decision.
Why a team matters
Single-guru communities have a structural problem. The guru can’t be online 24/7 in a 24/7 market. When the guru is asleep, members can’t get help. When the guru goes on holiday, the Discord goes quiet. When the guru burns out (which most do — see how many crypto “educators” disappeared after 2022), the whole community evaporates.
A team model fixes that. There’s always someone live. There’s always someone in the Discord. The system survives any single person stepping back. That’s a longevity feature, not a vanity feature.
It also means you can learn from different teaching styles. Some people learn best from Annii’s structured, framework-first approach. Some click better with Cody’s market-walkthrough style. Some need Janet’s mindset work before any of the technical material lands. Having multiple coaches means you can find the voice that works for you.
Annii Snelleksz — founder and TBD creator
Let’s start at the top. Annii Snelleksz is the founder of Trade Travel Chill and the creator of the TBD System — the proprietary methodology that sits at the centre of TTC’s curriculum.
Where she is: Dubai-based.
Background: Ex-business owner. She built and sold businesses before pivoting full-time into crypto trading. The entrepreneurial background matters because it shows up in how TTC is run — it’s a real operation, not a side hustle attached to a Discord server.
Trading start: She started trading crypto in 2017. That means she’s traded through:
- The 2017 retail mania and the December 2017 top
- The brutal 2018 bear (BTC from ~$19,800 down to ~$3,200, per CoinGecko’s historical data)
- The COVID dump in March 2020 (when BTC briefly fell ~40% in a day)
- The 2021 mania and the November 2021 top
- The FTX implosion in November 2022
- The 2023 base, the 2024 ETF run, the 2025–2026 cycle
That’s a full multi-cycle through-line. Surviving it as a retail trader and coming out the other side with the cognitive bandwidth to teach others is uncommon.
What she built: The TBD System (“Trade by Design”) — a methodology that blends forex precision with crypto market structure. It’s now the centrepiece of TTC’s course path. Full breakdown of TBD in the TBD System explained.
What you’ll get from her directly: Annii runs core methodology sessions, market updates, and shows up regularly across Discord and live calls. She’s the public face of TTC and the person whose name is on the framework.
Why this matters
When you pay for trading education you’re effectively betting on the person who built the curriculum. The single biggest risk is paying someone who hasn’t traded long enough to have lost real money learning. Annii has been through multiple bear markets as a retail trader. That through-line is the credibility marker.
Cajun Spice — Doha-based, global firms background
The second Cabin Crew member I’d flag is Cajun Spice. The handle is informal but the background isn’t.
Where: Doha (Qatar). Doha sits inside the same trading day as Dubai and London — so Cajun’s coverage overlaps with the Asia-Europe transition.
Background: Global firms experience. He’s run private consultancy work. The skill set he brings is structural — he’s seen how institutional flows work and translates that into how retail traders can position around it.
What he runs at TTC: Live sessions, market commentary, member Q&A. The teaching style is calmer and more methodical than the YouTube TA you’re used to. Less “ape in,” more “here’s what the institutional flow looks like, here’s the retail-trap version, here’s the TBD setup.”
What you learn from Cajun specifically
The thing Cajun brings that most pure-retail educators don’t is the institutional-side perspective. Most retail traders learn TA from other retail traders and never get exposure to how the people on the other side of the trade actually think. Cajun’s sessions help fill that gap.
Specifically, his market commentary tends to weave in macro context — what’s happening in equities, why the dollar is moving, what funding rates are saying about perp positioning. The kind of context you’d find on Bloomberg terminals but adapted for crypto. Useful when you’re trying to figure out whether a setup is forming in a high-conviction macro environment or a chop-and-stop environment.
Janet Hauiti — no-nonsense mindset coach
Trading is 80% psychology and 20% technical. Anyone who’s lost money in crypto knows this. The technical side can be learned in 6 months. The emotional side can take a decade. Janet Hauiti is the Cabin Crew member who handles the second half of that equation.
Style: No-nonsense, judgement-free. The phrasing matters. “No-nonsense” means she won’t sugarcoat your bad habits. “Judgement-free” means she won’t make you feel small for having them.
What she covers: Mindset, habits, the psychology of executing trades. Why you keep moving your stop. Why you keep over-sizing. Why you keep chasing the breakout. Why you blow up the same way every time and never seem to learn.
Why this matters: According to Investopedia’s overview of trading psychology, trader psychology — fear, greed, FOMO, revenge trading — is consistently identified as the single biggest reason retail traders lose money. You can have the best system in the world and lose money on it because you don’t execute it.
Janet’s role is to make sure the TBD System actually gets executed. The framework is only useful if you have the habits to follow it. Most members underestimate how hard that part is until they’ve blown up an account and can’t explain why.
What you actually do with Janet’s content
The mindset work isn’t passive. It’s habit-building. You journal. You review losing trades for emotional patterns. You install pre-trade checklists. You practise “no trade” as a valid output. This is the unglamorous part of trading that almost nobody talks about and that almost everybody needs. See crypto trading psychology for the standalone version of why this matters.
Cody Selby — TBD method specialist, Friday hangouts
Cody Selby is the Cabin Crew member who specialises in teaching the TBD method at the chart level. If Annii is the framework architect, Cody is the one who walks you through the framework live on a chart.
What he runs: Friday trading hangouts. These are sessions where the team is live, reviewing the week’s setups, talking through wins and losses, and answering member questions in real time.
Why Friday hangouts matter: Friday is the end of the trading week in most major markets and a useful pause point for crypto traders. It’s the natural time to review the week, journal trades, and prep for the weekend (where crypto-specific manipulation patterns often play out — see market maker manipulation in crypto for the weekend chop patterns).
Cody’s specific skill set: TBD method specialist. Meaning when you have a TBD setup question — “is this a valid entry?” “where should this stop go?” “what does the multi-timeframe look like here?” — Cody is the person who’ll walk you through it with the framework in mind.
Why the live-chart sessions are the most valuable bit
Recorded courses are useful for learning the framework. Live chart sessions are where you actually internalise it. You see how an experienced trader reads a chart in real time — what they look at first, what they ignore, what makes them say “no setup,” what makes them say “this is it.” That kind of pattern recognition can’t be taught in a recorded course. It has to be watched and absorbed over time.
The Friday hangouts are also where the community comes alive socially. People you’ve seen post in the Discord all week are suddenly live, asking questions, sharing screens, laughing about the trade they got wrong. That social fabric is the moat — it’s the thing you can’t get from a YouTube channel.
NRJ — former retail trader turned coach
NRJ is the Cabin Crew member whose path is closest to what most members will recognise. He’s a former retail trader who found TTC through a chance encounter and ended up becoming a coach inside the same community.
The story: Found TTC by luck — a recommendation, a video, a search query that landed in the right place. He went through the curriculum as a regular member, ground through the learning curve, and over time progressed into a coaching role.
Why this matters: Most coaches in crypto Discord groups are either ex-institutional types or self-appointed gurus. NRJ is neither. He’s somebody who was you — a retail trader trying to figure it out — and progressed through the system enough to teach others.
What he brings: The “what it actually feels like to go through this curriculum” perspective. When you’re stuck on lesson 4 of TBD and questioning whether you’re cut out for it, NRJ is the person who’s been exactly where you are and can tell you what worked.
The retail-to-coach progression
This is one of the underrated features of TTC as a community. The teaching team isn’t a closed group of original founders. It includes people who progressed up through the membership ranks. That’s healthy — it means the community has a credible answer to “can a regular person actually learn this?” The answer is yes, because here’s someone who did.
It also means the teaching style is empathetic to where members actually are. NRJ remembers being confused by the same things current members are confused by. That memory matters.
How the live sessions are split across time zones
This is the operational detail that took me longest to appreciate. TTC’s coverage spans Asia, Europe, and US time zones. That means whatever time zone you’re in, there’s a live session that hits at a reasonable hour for you.
Rough breakdown
- Asia / Doha-Dubai sessions: Annii (Dubai) and Cajun Spice (Doha) anchor the early-day sessions for Asia and Middle East members. Useful if you’re in Australia, Asia, or the Gulf.
- European sessions: Live market updates that catch the London open are workable for UK/EU members. If you’re in the UK like me, you can hit the morning session before work.
- US sessions: Live coverage that overlaps the US trading window. Useful for North American members.
- Friday hangouts (Cody): Time-shifted to catch the maximum number of members live across regions.
Why this matters for committed members
A common gripe with single-trader communities is timezone friction. The trader is in one city, half the members are in another, and most live sessions fire at 3am for half the audience. TTC’s multi-coach model fixes this — there’s always someone awake, posting, hosting a session.
Recordings are available for sessions you miss, but live participation is where the value compounds. You ask the question, you get the answer, you see how the chart was read in the moment.
Working around your day job
If you have a 9-5, the practical approach is: hit one live session per week (usually a Friday hangout or the closest morning session to your time zone), watch recordings for the rest, and post questions in Discord for async responses. That’s how most members actually use it.
Direct access via Discord (First Class only)
This is the membership-tier detail that matters most when picking a plan.
Business Class ($88/mo or $899/yr): Recordings only. You get the Discord but you don’t get direct DM-style access to the Cabin Crew. You watch the sessions back, ask questions in the public channels, and learn at your pace.
First Class ($158/mo or $1,610/yr): Direct access to the Cabin Crew via Discord. You can ask the team questions directly. You also get live market updates 3× daily, live trading sessions, weekly Q&A hangouts, and access to the mindset coach.
Which tier should you start on?
My honest take: if you’re brand new to TBD, start on Business Class. Watch the recorded courses. Work through the framework. Paper trade. If after 2 months you find yourself wanting direct access for live questions, upgrade to First Class.
If you’re already an active trader who needs the live context and direct access to refine your execution, start on First Class. The premium is worth it because you’ll use the live features.
If you can pay annually, do — saves you ~$157/year on Business Class and ~$286/year on First Class. If you can pay in crypto, do — that’s another 20% off on top (use BitGet to buy USDT cheaply for the payment, full breakdown in my BitGet review).
Want direct access to the Cabin Crew?
First Class membership gets you live sessions 3× daily, weekly Q&A hangouts, and direct Discord access to Annii, Cajun, Cody, Janet and NRJ. $158/mo or $1,610/yr. 20% off paying in crypto.

How they teach vs how they trade
This is the question I get asked most often: are the Cabin Crew teaching what they actually trade, or are they teaching one thing and trading another?
In my experience as an active member: yes, they trade what they teach. The live sessions involve looking at real charts and walking through real setups. When a member asks “what would you do here?” the Crew answers based on the TBD framework, not based on hopium or a hot tip.
The cultural marker I look for in any trading community is whether the coaches show losing trades. Anyone who only posts winners is selling you survivorship bias. TTC’s culture includes posting losses, talking about why they happened, and using them as teaching moments. That’s the marker of a real trading community vs a marketing operation.
What “real” looks like
A few practical signs the teaching is genuine:
- Setups are walked through with multi-timeframe analysis, not just a single chart
- Stops and targets are defined before entry, not after
- Failed trades get post-mortems, not silence
- The framework is applied consistently across coaches (not a different system every session)
- Members are taught to think for themselves, not to copy
I’ve been a member for over a year and these patterns hold. It’s not a guru cult. It’s a teaching operation.
The mindset coach role
Worth flagging this separately because it’s a structural feature of First Class membership that most paid Discord groups don’t have.
A mindset coach inside a trading community isn’t a luxury — it’s a need that most communities ignore. Trading is psychologically punishing. You’ll lose more trades than you win (most TBD-style frameworks aim for a win rate around 45–55% with positive expectancy via risk-reward, not a 90% win rate). You’ll see your account drawdown 10-20% during a string of losses that’s statistically normal. You’ll question the framework when you’re in a losing streak. You’ll over-size when you’re feeling confident.
A mindset coach helps you survive that emotional ride. Janet’s role at TTC is exactly that. The work involves journaling, habit reviews, pre-trade checklists, and the kind of emotional regulation work that actually translates into better execution.
Why most communities don’t have this
Mindset coaches are expensive to maintain. They don’t bring in new members directly. They don’t post chart porn. They don’t drive shareable content. So most communities skip them. TTC including a mindset coach as a First Class feature is a structural quality marker — it tells you the community is built for member retention and outcomes, not just sign-ups.
Pricing access tiers — who you can talk to at which level
To make this clear, here’s the practical breakdown.
Free / public content
- Annii’s public social media (X, IG, YouTube)
- Public marketing material on tradetravelchill.club
- Snippets from the curriculum
- Recordings shared on socials
You can get a sense of Annii’s style for free. You can’t ask her questions directly.
Business Class ($88/mo or $899/yr)
- All recorded courses (Zero to Crypto, TBD, Trading Masterclasses, Liquidity Course, MM Masterclass, Heatmap Tutorials, Alt Coin Fundamentals)
- Daily market update recordings
- Live session recordings
- Q&A recordings
- TBD Indicators
- Discord and Telegram access (you’re in the rooms)
- Email support
- 48-hour money-back guarantee
You can ask questions in the public Discord channels. You don’t get direct DM-style access to the Cabin Crew.
First Class ($158/mo or $1,610/yr)
Everything in Business Class plus:
- Live market updates 3× daily (not recordings, live)
- Live trading sessions with the Cabin Crew
- Live weekly Q&A hangouts
- Exclusive advanced indicator (additional TBD tool)
- Direct access to pro traders via Discord
- Mindset coach access (Janet)
- Monthly Top Trader Award inclusion
- Account support (not just email)
- Ambassador program (earn commissions)
This is the tier where the Cabin Crew is actually directly accessible.
Quick rule
If you want to test the system on the cheapest budget, Business Class.
If you want the full live experience and direct access, First Class.
Annual + crypto payment is the cheapest configuration of either tier.
How to actually get the most from the team
Paying for the membership doesn’t automatically deliver value. Here’s the pattern that works for committed members.
1. Do the Zero to Crypto course first
If you’re new, don’t skip the basics. The whole curriculum builds on the foundation. Skipping Zero to Crypto and jumping to TBD is how you waste the first 3 months feeling lost.
2. Work through the TBD course in order
Don’t cherry-pick lessons. The framework is sequential. Each module assumes you’ve understood the previous ones.
3. Paper trade for 30+ days before live
Treat the first month as practice. Take the setups, journal them, but don’t risk real money yet. This is the part most members skip and most members regret skipping. See crypto trading journal for what a journal entry should look like.
4. Show up to at least one live session per week
Pick the session that works for your time zone. Hit it consistently. Live participation compounds. Recordings are useful but they’re not the same as being in the room.
5. Post in Discord
Ask questions. Share your charts. Post your wins and losses. The community is the real moat. People who lurk get less out of it than people who engage.
6. Use the mindset coach if you’re on First Class
Janet’s content is the unsexy part of trading and the part that matters most. If you have access, use it.
7. Journal every trade
Entry, stop, target, position size, reason, post-mortem. The first time you review your own journal you’ll see patterns you can’t see in real time. This is non-optional if you want to actually improve.
The honest gripes
Same disclaimer as my TTC review — I’m not going to pretend the Cabin Crew model is perfect.
One. Time zones still bite. Multiple coaches across multiple time zones is better than one coach in one time zone, but it doesn’t eliminate the problem entirely. Some sessions will still be at uncomfortable hours for you.
Two. The Cabin Crew can’t scale infinitely. With 1,000+ Discord members and growing, even First Class direct access means you’re sharing the team’s attention with other paying members. Responses are not instant. Don’t expect a personal trainer-style experience.
Three. Coaching styles vary. Some coaches will click for you, some won’t. That’s normal. The advantage of a team model is that you can find the voice that works. The disadvantage is that some members get attached to one coach and feel let down when that coach is unavailable.
Four. Mindset work feels uncomfortable. Janet’s content will surface things about your trading habits that you don’t want to look at. That’s the point. Members who refuse to do the mindset work don’t improve, regardless of how much technical material they consume.
Five. The community has rules. Discord moderation is real. No promoting other communities, no shilling, no scam tokens, no abuse. Some people don’t like that. Fine — those people probably aren’t going to learn to trade anyway.

How TTC’s team compares to other paid communities
Quick comparison table — TTC’s team model vs the alternatives most beginners encounter.
| TTC Cabin Crew | Single-guru Discord | Telegram signals | Free YouTube | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of coaches | 5+ named | 1 | 1-2 admins | 1 per channel |
| Time zone coverage | Multi-region | One | Variable | Always on |
| Live sessions | Daily + weekly | When guru is on | Rare | Almost never |
| Mindset coaching | Yes (Janet) | No | No | No |
| Direct Discord access | Yes (First Class) | Sometimes | No | No |
| Proprietary framework | TBD System | Whatever guru teaches | Signals, no teaching | TA basics |
| Recorded curriculum | Yes, structured | Often messy | None | Scattered |
| Continuity risk | Low (team) | High (one person) | High | Low |
| Real trades shown | Yes | Sometimes | Selectively | Sometimes |
The structural argument: a team model with multiple specialists across time zones is more resilient than a single guru. It’s also more expensive to maintain — which is why most communities don’t do it.
Where to apply what the Cabin Crew teaches
Knowing the team is one thing. You still need an exchange to actually trade. My setup is TTC for the methodology and BitGet (referral) for execution — full breakdown in my BitGet review.
BitGet has direct TradingView integration (BitGet TradingView guide) which matters because TBD setups are drawn in TradingView. Spot trading basics are in BitGet spot trading guide and futures are in BitGet futures USDT-M. If you want to size positions based on stop distance the way the Cabin Crew teaches, BitGet leverage explained is required reading first.
For automating around your TBD setups (set-and-forget grid bots that work the ranges between TBD levels), the BitGet BTC/USDT spot bot (affiliate) is what I run. More context in are crypto bots profitable.
Frequently asked questions
Who are the TTC Cabin Crew?
The TTC Cabin Crew is the team of pro traders and coaches who teach inside Trade Travel Chill.

Can I message the Cabin Crew directly?
Direct Discord access to the Cabin Crew is a First Class membership feature ($158/mo or $1,610/yr). Business Class members can ask questions in public Discord channels but don’t get direct messaging access.
How many people are in the TTC Discord?
1,000+ active Discord members at last count, plus 1,000+ social media subscribers across IG, X, YouTube, and Facebook. Global reach across multiple countries.
What time zones does the Cabin Crew cover?
Asia (Annii in Dubai, Cajun in Doha), Europe, and US. Live sessions are scheduled to catch each major time zone. Recordings are available for sessions you miss.
What does the mindset coach do?
The mindset coach (Janet Hauiti) handles trading psychology, habit formation, and emotional regulation. The work involves journaling, pre-trade checklists, and reviewing emotional patterns in losing trades. First Class membership feature.
Are the Cabin Crew real traders?
Yes. They post real charts, take live questions, and walk through real setups. The teaching is mentorship-style — not signals-driven, not Lambo-photo content. I’ve been a member for over a year and the consistency holds.
Which Cabin Crew member should I learn from first?
Start with Annii’s TBD course (the framework) and Cody’s Friday hangouts (live application). Add Janet’s mindset work once you’re trading live. Cajun’s market commentary becomes useful once you understand the framework.
Final word
The Cabin Crew model is one of the things that separates TTC from most paid crypto communities. Five named coaches, multi-time-zone coverage, structured roles, real charts, real losses, real teaching. It’s the kind of operation you’d expect from a forex prop firm, not a crypto Discord.
If you’re shopping for a community, the team is the thing to look at hardest. The framework matters. The community matters. But ultimately you’re paying to access people. Knowing who they are and what they actually bring matters more than any marketing copy on the homepage.
Right — over to you.
