Thanks for checking out my feed!

Here are some things you should know:

1. I don't recommend using my tweets (or others) as "trade alerts" as they should be treated like any other analysis or indicator.

2. I manage multiple accounts across all time frames, but my focus is on short term trading since that is where aspiring traders lose the most. I don’t offer mentoring or any type of service as my priority remains my own trading, but I plan to release educational material for free in the winter.

3. On Twitter I share scenarios + levels on stocks as well as my biases for trading them. My bias will not be correct 100% of the time, but as traders we ultimately must decide which direction to look for (even if it doesn’t pan out). For example, I often miss out on easy money simply by having a plan only for longs rather than shorts when a stock may sell off all day. For this reason, my analysis should be used for comparison rather than replication. You should only take trades you have personal confidence as that is required to manage them stoically.

3. I use orderflow, price action, and context for short term trading. I highly suggest adding reactive tools to your arsenal to keep up with the everchanging flows of price (level II, time & sales, footprint, DOM, MP). Change comes at any time in this game & we can only rely on ourselves to manage our account appropriately.

5. I trade both options & shares, but I can only publicly advocate for the use of shares since it is a prerequisite to successfully buying calls or puts. Options are used inappropriately by the vast majority of traders, so please ensure understanding before utilization!

6. Nobody can predict the future, which is why trading is based entirely on probabilities. Never fear being wrong & instead focus on becoming best friends with math. It will always be there for you in times of uncertainty or confusion.

7. Trading takes a tremendous amount of time to evolve your theories to weekly ACH transfers (about 5 years for me). It’s important to seek out your strengths & weaknesses as early as possible since we each have different personalities and approaches that work for us. Until you discover those, avoid risking a serious amount of money until your results tell you to do otherwise.

Plan, Execute, Reflect!
