About me

It all started five years ago as a Junior in college studying for a bachelors in Civil Engineering. Three years into my degree, I stumbled upon day trading online and fell in love with the numbers.

At first, it was a struggle and battle to find consistency. Started with a mere $50 and played it safe. Once I realized there was true potential to succeed in the industry, I made the ridiculous decision of investing my college tuition funds into day trading, a decision I don't advise anyone to do. Fortunately, it worked out for me, and five years later I created the AnticipatedKeyLevels indicator.

During the struggle, I realized my biggest obstacle was myself. I was constantly involving my intuition into trades. I would sell trades too early, or hold losses longer than normal, hindering my success. I thought to myself, is there a way for me to automate the entire process? I needed a strategy that involved no human interaction. The main idea was to get rid of potential human involvement errors in trading. I quickly realized that trading using intuition required me to be at my A-game 24/7. With 250 trading days in a year, it became apparent to me that using intuition trading to trade successfully for decades is practically impossible, and that's when I started creating the first strategy with a backtested statistical advantage over the long run.
