I started trading young.
Six years in the markets taught me that better trading rarely comes from adding more. It comes from removing what doesn't matter.
How I got here
I started with crypto. That lasted about a year and mostly taught me what not to do. Then I traded FX for around three years, and that is where I first became consistently profitable.
After that I moved to futures and got to the same point there, including payouts. Today I trade indices, oils and metals. Different markets, same process.
The shift
For a long time I thought getting better meant knowing more. More tools, more confirmation, more hours in front of the screen. It was the opposite.
Most of the difficulty in trading comes from yourself, not the market.
The more complicated my process got, the longer I sat there, and the more chances I gave myself to make a decision I would regret. So I cut the rules back, started working from data, and ran the same process every day.
Simple rules are easier to follow. That is most of it.
The session moves from Sydney to Tokyo to London to New York. Which one is open changes how the day trades.

Why Ferocious exists
Ferocious came out of my own trading. I was already working mechanically, and a lot of what I did by hand could be written into tools.
Turning those rules into indicators made my charting faster and easier to read. I built the tools around how I already trade. It did not happen the other way round.
- Structure. The same sequence every session.
- Context. What kind of day it is.
- Simplicity. Fewer inputs, fewer decisions.
- Repetition. The process stays the same.
How I trade today
I still trade daily. I open my charts, check the levels, see what the context looks like, and decide whether the day is worth trading at all.
Then I can step away. The goal was never to spend more time in front of charts. It was to make that time count.
Beyond the charts
Outside trading I travel, climb, run and train. It gives me something else to think about and keeps trading from taking over everything.
Most of my clearest thinking about the market happens when I am nowhere near a screen.
