About My Trading Journey

I trade S&P 500 ES Futures using pure price action — heavily inspired by Al Brooks’ principles of reading context, market cycles, and traps.
My goal is to understand what price is doing at every moment, not just trade setups mechanically.

I started years ago studying Mack’s PATS (Price Action Trading System), which gave me a strong foundation in price structure and discipline. Over time, I naturally evolved toward Brooks’ approach — focusing more on context, the bigger picture, and holding trades for larger targets when the setup and story support it.

This journey has taught me that trading is not about predicting — it’s about reading, reacting, and staying consistent through both wins and losses.

​

📊 How I Trade

• Price Action Trading based on Al Brooks’ principles of context and market structure.

• Primary Chart: 5-minute ES chart

• Core Tools: 20 EMA, trend channels, support/resistance zones, and visual price structure

• Style: Intraday trading — combining scalps with short swings depending on context

• Accounts: 20 x 50K Apex Performance Accounts and 5 Take Profit Trader (TPT) PA Accounts
   

💡 Lessons I’ve Learned So Far

• Context is king. Every setup looks different when viewed through the lens of the market cycle.

• Patience and discipline matter more than entry signals. The key is waiting for the right story to unfold.

• Screen time builds intuition — every bar reveals what price is trying to do.

• Consistency over perfection. Trading success comes from executing well over a series of trades — not chasing a perfect setup.
   

🚀 My Trading Journey So Far

Like many traders, I spent years searching for the “holy grail.” Real growth began when I accepted that there are no secrets — only deeper understanding.

My biggest breakthroughs came when I:

• Focused on context over patterns

• Started journaling and reviewing every trade

• Let go of the need to be right on every setup

Now, I trade Apex and Take Profit Trader performance accounts, working daily to execute with patience, read the market accurately, and let the probabilities play out.
