Approach
Systematic, risk-first
I trade Nasdaq futures using a systematic approach that treats every decision as a capital-allocation choice inside a real business. Every setup is defined in advance, risk is capped before I click the button, and each session ends with a structured review to refine the playbook. Over time, this has shaped a model focused on repeatable edges, controlled drawdowns, and long-term survival in the markets.
Through The Hermes Trader, I document the same frameworks, routines, and post-trade breakdowns I use myself, so you can see how a rules-driven trading operation is built and maintained over time. The newsletter is the structured log of that work—key lessons, model updates, and session reviews in a format you can actually apply.
No signals, no hype. Everything I share is about building systems, managing risk, and running your trading like a real business.
