Disclosures

The short version: I'm a private trader publishing my own testing and trading. I'm not a financial adviser, I don't sell signals or courses, and if a link ever earns me money, it says so right next to it.

Affiliate links

Some links on this site may be affiliate links. If you sign up or buy through one, I may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.

• Every affiliate link is labelled where it appears, not just on this page.
• I only link to things I actually use. If I write about a product, it's because I trade with it, and I'll say what I don't like about it too.
• A commission never changes what I publish. Results go up whether or not they make a product, a firm or me look good.

Right now there are no affiliate links on this site. When I add one, it will be listed here.

Firms I mention by name, such as the prop firm on my futures journal, are firms I'm a paying customer of. None of them sponsors this site or has reviewed anything on it.

Not financial advice

I'm not a licensed financial adviser, broker, investment adviser or commodity trading adviser in any country. Everything here is a record of my own testing and trading, written for general information. Nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy or sell anything, and none of it takes your circumstances into account. If you trade based on anything you read here, the decisions and the results are entirely your own.

The rules of the strategies I'm still testing are deliberately left out. They aren't a system for anyone to follow.

What the results are, and aren't

• Live strategy pages are paper trading. The trades are simulated on real market quotes: bought at the asking price, sold at the bid, one contract, no commissions. They are not real trades. Simulated results have well-known limits: real orders can get worse prices, especially in fast markets, and a simulation can't account for everything that happens with real money. No representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve results similar to those shown.
• Graveyard pages are backtests unless they say they were tested live. Backtests are run on historical data with the benefit of hindsight, and usually look better than live trading.
• My journals are real money. They show my actual trades, with the costs stated on each page. They are one person's results over a short period.
• Past results don't predict future results, for any strategy, simulated or real.

Risk

Options and futures are leveraged. Same-day (0DTE) options can lose their entire value within minutes, and futures losses can exceed the money in your account. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

How AI is used

I use AI tools to build my testing systems and to help write this site, including my journal entries. The trades, numbers, decisions and opinions are mine, and I check everything before it's published. The reviews at the end of my journal entries are written by AI in the spirit of Mark Douglas's Trading in the Zone. They are not his words, and this site has no connection with Mark Douglas, his estate or his publishers.

Corrections

If you find a mistake, an outdated figure or something you think I've tested wrongly, please email [email protected]. I correct errors and note significant changes on the page concerned.

This site records my own testing and trading. It isn't financial advice. 0DTE options can go to zero within minutes.
