Q&A + Introduction

It's great to meet you all. My name is Adam and I am going to create this discussion to answer some questions anyone may have and give you a place to ask me anything. 

To start, let me give you some background about me and what I do. So, I am a non-traditionally trained futures trader and have been so for the past 3ish years. I got introduced to this world through crypto currency during my time in university and then moved to NASDAQ futures about 8 months after that. I find this world fascinating, I find it complex, but most importantly I find it challenging to find high-quality information. 

I went through all of the classic ways to learn, from YouTube to Instagram to discord chats. You name it, and I probably tried it. I joined this platform to just throw my name and some information out there in case someone like me is looking for someone to talk to and potentially learn from. I am currently working with a handful of people in a trading capacity, showing them what I know, offering my opinion, and setting them up in a way I wish I could have been when I started. So, if you are interested in hearing more about what it is that I do or you think a conversation could add value to you and your work, feel free to reach out and we can start there!

If there are ANY questions about me, my strategy, and what my day to day looks like, simply reply to this and I will get to it ASAP. Thanks. 

Adam
