How verifiable is this story?
Damn,I wish I had the talent. With how much money did he start with?
"My main markets now are Crude Oil futures and Gold futures and I trade small to mid-cap equities when the futures don’t present a good trade. I trade mainly based on volatility and volume. My strategy revolves around price-action trading and some macro."

Not sure how much he started with. But let's hope he can maintain momentum.
I don't buy this story. He looks like one of those Instagram fx trader scam guys lol.
I'm buying the story--even though it is from the NY Post.

Journalistic integrity is dead. I read countless articles a week on my stocks that are hardly factual or completely inaccurate. Its ridiculous.

Journalism is dead.
He'll always be known as that guy
