About Me
My Process
I've been trading and investing since 2007. My approach has evolved over the years and is now primarily grouped into two main programs. Program 1 trades a 2-3-day time horizon, utilizing the short-term and intermediate trends, while Program 2 trades a 2-4-week time horizon, utilizing the intermediate and long-term trends.
My analysis starts with trend analysis, which I derive from swing highs and swing lows (which I call 'the legs & language of the market') using Gann swing charts. I look to trade retracements into support and resistance areas, along with occasional breakouts, in-line with the trend of the time frame and program that I am trading.
​
I use the RSI as a secondary measure of price and trend, examining the momentum behind price to assess whether it is confirming price action or diverging and providing clues of a potential reversal. I've programmed several scans and indicators that search the market for the specific 'picture' or 'setup' that I am looking for. My strategies are applicable to all assets and across all time frames.
Company
In 2016, I started a consulting firm, which has grown and evolved over the years into what is now Performance Tactics, LLC. Performance Tactics specializes in education, consulting, and technical research and analysis, delivering tailored solutions for traders, investors, and financial professionals. I'm currently contracted with Briefing.com, writing a daily column on key technical levels for the major U.S., equity indices and other relevant instruments, as well as a bi-monthly column featuring swing trading ideas. Additionally, I have worked with several educational institutions over the years, providing education and training in foundational trading and investing principles, including technical analysis, risk management, and trading psychology. I work with private clients both one-on-one and in group settings, and participate in speaking engagements at local universities.
Vision
My vision is to continue supporting my existing clients while partnering with financial and educational institutions that align with my vision and goals. I recognize that full-time market participation is not attainable for everyone, but I believe that everyone can participate in and benefit from the markets on a part-time basis, supplementing their existing careers. My aim is to provide them with the tools, training, and mindset to approach this in the right manner.
