About

Think of a rookie trading mistake. Got one in mind? Good. I've probably made it. If not, I'm about to do it soon. I'm a financial gambler in its truest form and this is a humble journey of my attempt to "make it" as a retail trader.

After spending some time in a back office role, I've moved on to get away from the bureaucratic bullshit in the banking environment. My participation in the markets is purely retail. I don't have any institutional or proprietary trading experiences to guide me. I don't know how to manipulate the LIBOR or rig foreign exchange rates. That's okay, right?

What I am good at is observation, and then formulating my own behavioral approach to the markets. The ultimate goal is to transition from a day job to trading full time. In the meantime, my development is a continuous grind. This site will journal it. Read it. Or not. I don't care.
