I’ve been trading for 15 years starting off with index futures on the Russell 2000 and S&P 500 through CME. Also participating in open outcry at the CBOT, gaining invaluable experience from traders at major U.S. institutions.

 

However, to get where I am now wasn’t an easy road, at all. There’s a ton of money to be made. Good traders make a killing, it's a zero-sum game, consequently the vast majority lose money.

 

There’s so much more than just reading a chart and understanding technical analysis. These things are important, but what I’ve learned over the years is that accountability, discipline, and understanding our human behaviour is incomparably significant.

 

To syphon through the chaos of the market we deal in probabilities, however logic and rationale shift very easily if your win/loss or risk/reward ratio is skewed by the inherent behaviour of an undisciplined trader.

 

I'm excited to share with you what I've learned over the years through both my mistakes and triumphs. See you there!
