Gender Male
Occupation Prop Trader
Location Canada
Introduction Before becoming a prop trader I was working at a public transportation company as a programmer analyst/systems analyst for three years. Pay was good and job security even better. But I was still young and so I decided to make the switch and to get into trading before I had too many major responsibilities (that way, on my death bed, I won't be thinking "I should've, could've", etc). I try to be a perfectionist and when things don't go my way, I try very hard to look for the reasons why. This blog helps me digest what went on during my trading day and also forces me to see what went wrong on the bad days - afterall, if I didn't do this, how can I improve?
