The Short Version

I'm a full-time futures trader and the founder of Stoic Edge. I trade ES, NQ, and MES using a simple rule-based system built on support and resistance, previous day levels, and strict risk management. No indicators, no complexity, no guessing.

I created Stoic Edge because I got tired of watching traders blow up their accounts chasing the same overcomplicated strategies that don't work. The industry sells complexity because complexity sells courses. I teach the opposite.

How I Got Here

Like most traders I started by doing everything wrong. I bought indicators, followed signal services, revenge traded, overleveraged, and blew accounts. The usual path that about 90% of traders walk before they either quit or figure it out.

What changed for me was stripping everything down to the basics. I stopped looking for the perfect entry and started focusing on risk management, position sizing, and emotional discipline. I built a system around previous day high, previous day low, and previous day close because those levels are the same for every trader looking at the same chart, no proprietary indicator needed.

The Stoic philosophy clicked because trading is really just a daily practice in controlling your reactions. The market does what it does, your job is to follow your rules regardless of how you feel about it.

What I Teach

Everything at Stoic Edge is built around one idea: keep it simple and follow your rules. The SBS (Simple Bounce Strategy) system uses levels that are free and available to everyone. No secret sauce, no black box, just price action at key levels with defined risk.

I run the Stoic Traders Community where I share my daily analysis, trade reviews, and work directly with traders who are serious about getting consistent. I also publish free educational content on the Stoic Edge blog covering everything from trading psychology to futures basics.

My Trading Rules

  • Risk no more than 1R per trade
  • Trade only during the first 2 hours of the session
  • No revenge trades, ever
  • If you hit your daily loss limit, walk away
  • Journal every trade, review every week
  • The system is simple on purpose — complexity is the enemy
