I've been described as tenacious in my study of stock trading. I like high probabilities, I don't look for a fair fight. I look to always improve myself, and have been since I started researching stock trading in 2009 and have been actively trading since 2012. I've published a book on my favorite method of trading and now am looking teach with video's to share what I've learned hopefully more clear than the dry financial books and video's I learned from.
