What's Your Trading Story?

I thought it'd be beneficial to share some of our trading backgrounds and how we got to wher we are today. I trade S&P Futures and the Euro/Dollar, but it's been quite a journey that began with basic psychology 101. I've shared more of my story here URL Deleted by Moderator.

What's your trading story?

Re: What's Your Trading Story?

In 2005 I was attending college at Arizona State University studying architecture and business when I saw a blurb on TV about trading. I really didn’t know much about trading or how the stock market worked, but had started doing some investing in high school and loved my economics classes so I began to do some research on the subject of trading and whether or not it was possible to trade for a living. After spending some time visiting the trading floor in Chicago and talking with some of the best screen traders in the industry (all who made their living trading) I made the decision that I would become a professional trader.

Since that time I’ve evolved from trading stocks, to options, arriving where I am today, primarily trading the E-mini S&P and Euro Futures. I use a methodology that has been around since before there were computers and charting packages and high frequency trading. That being said it has only become more effective since the advancement of this technology. In 2009 I presented and spoke at the Las Vegas Trader’s Expo, and have done interviews with the Money Show as well as TraderInterviews.com. I’ve had the privileged to travel all across the United States, through Europe, and to Central America.
