My trading journey started in 2015. I got my hands-on experience as an equity dealer and analyst, but I was lucky enough to learn from two sides: I worked with a funded trading firm and was also mentored by successful veteran traders outside of that setup. This time helped me deeply understand how markets work and how to manage risk like a pro.
In 2018, I shifted my focus to professional poker. For seven years, I played high-stakes cash games, and it was here I sharpened my mental edge. Poker taught me how to master probabilistic thinking, strict bankroll management, and the emotional discipline required to make a living from my skills. This experience was a masterclass in making clear-headed decisions under pressure, no matter what the situation is.
Now, in 2025, I’m back to trading full-time. I’m using this website as my personal trading journal and playbook. I don’t just want to show my results; I want to share the whole process—my daily market thoughts, trade setups, and the psychological framework I use. My hope is that this market diary can be a useful guide for other traders looking to build a resilient approach to the markets.
