Hi there 👋

With all of this said, even though I’ve been a profitable trader for 2 years now, I still have to say this: These are my own opinions. Any post, information, media (or anything that you read, see, hear, etc) on this site is my own personal opinion. This is NOT financial advice. My trading strategy was built for me, and only me. I’m simply documenting my actions, opinions, and beliefs. Any losses, wins, or any other risks that you, the reader, incur are of your own volition. By reading this blog, you acknowledge that I assume no responsibility (legal, ethical, etc.) for any actions you take. You are solely responsible for any and ALL actions that are taken in your own accounts. Do your own due diligence. Talk to a licensed professional or someone who is legally obligated to act in your best interest. This is an online blog, and I am not responsible for any action or inaction of any person who reads this. ...

Very few people know the real me. Most are familiar with a small subset of my skillset. For work and places like LinkedIn, I usually talk about Software Engineering and my software companies. What most people don’t know is that I have also spent many years in various fields. Building up my skillset in silence. Some of those skills are: Finance: I’ve traded everything you could imagine. Forex, crypto, futures, futures-options, futures-crypto, commodities, stocks, bonds, options, and more. I’ve also developed algorithmic trading systems, expert advisors, and more. Social skills: Public speaking, psychology, social media influencing, and the psychology behind what works and what doesn’t, and more. Theoretical astrophysics: specifically, the origin of the universe, from beginning to end Mathematics, mainly for use in other fields like CS and Finance. I write my own functions for use in my trading strategies. Writing: I’ve written nearly 700K words this past year, and all of it is private. From my own market psychology framework, business SOPs, insights, lessons, and more. Music: I’ve written songs, produced tracks, enjoy DJing, mixing and mastering, and publish music to popular platforms. Videography: My father specialized in video production and has taught me a great deal about this. I’ve published a few viral videos on YouTube and have a list of videos spanning back to 2007. I even made videos teaching others how to solve a Rubik’s Cube when I was 10 years old. Other interests include: Culinary Arts, Engineering (Civil, Electronics, Mechanical), Propulsion/Rockets/Theoretical Propulsion and engine designs, Cryptography, Art (drawing, sketching), 3D design (CAD, Models/Animation), and so much more. I’ve spent the vast majority of my life consuming as much knowledge as possible from everything I could get my hands on. In the near future, I aspire to obtain my pilot’s license, work in real estate, establish my own brokerage, and pursue additional opportunities. If you know me, I don’t stop. I speed up, keep moving, and do whatever it takes, for as long as it takes, to achieve my goals. I lost money for 5 years before having my “aha” moment in finance, worked for free for 4 years on startups that later failed, failed hundreds of projects, and so much more. The knowledge I learned by doing that was priceless. ...

Dark Alpha is a public-facing version of my private opinions. I have been trading for 7 years now, and have kept this part of my life very private. Mainly, because I was a losing trader. Most of you who know me are aware that I’m quite different. The way I learn, approach problems, and so on, is not something I learned from a book or lecture. I’m a bottom-up learner, which essentially means that it takes me more time to get up to speed, but once I know the rules of the game, my pace speeds up exponentially and I can conjure up solutions that no one else thinks of to problems that most didn’t even know could be solved. ...
