About Me
My name is Andrew; I’ve been trading equities and options for over 10 years and I am a top finisher in the US Investing Championship. I hold both the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and a Financial Risk Manager (FRM) designations, and have professional experience working with some of the largest institutional asset managers in the world. I started this service to help other traders streamline their daily research process and create a community of traders in the trenches together.
My Story
I studied Economics and Finance while playing Division I Men’s Tennis at LaSalle University. Realizing that a professional tennis career was out of reach, I found the financial markets at age 21. I redirected my dedication and discipline from tennis into mastering investing and trading, marking the beginning of my journey to become one of the best in the world at my craft. I spent my first years out of college waking up at 4 AM to study for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and Financial Risk Manager (FRM) exams, working at Vanguard (The world’s largest mutual fund company), and used most of my free time learning about financial markets. I tried almost every strategy, ranging from deep value investing, to global macro trading, to technical analysis, and experienced my fair share of ups and downs along the way.
From oversizing trades, overtrading, getting social media FOMO, doubling down on mistakes, blowing accounts, and obsessing over the market, I’ve made almost every trading mistake possible, and have been able to overcome those struggles. In fact, I generated a 103.5% annual return in the 2023 U.S. Investing Championship, finishing in the top 6% of participants. I competed again in 2024 and generated a +254% return, finishing in the top 3% of participants. My goal is to keep competing, build a longer track record, and launch a hedge fund.
Why subscribe?
The research is top notch! I love data science, and share timely models and deep market insights. I have no interest in sending you 100 trade alerts a day, 100 hot stocks, and be constantly pinging you with noise. I respect your time, and do my best to share what I believe to be signal with you.
Adopt better trading psychology through our Discord community. We’ve cultivated a great group of traders that are all focused on long-term success. Our goal is to string together good trading years, not good trading days, and we understand the importance of risk control. I recently added the following automation that appears every trading session at 3:15 PM in our trading-room chat. It is already helping us in a big way!
Use me as a backstop. I encourage everyone in the group to use my research and trading process as a guide, but develop their own process that fits their personality. With this being said, let’s assume your life gets busy one evening, and you don’t have time to go through your evening scanning/research routine…for an incredibly low cost, you can use my homework on that particular night, and still be ready to go for the following session.
Here are a few highlights included in our offering:
✅Daily Watchlist - We scan thousands of stocks and hand-pick the three highest reward/risk opportunities for the following session
✅ Trend Model Access - Our proprietary indicator that informs us on how aggressive/defensive to position in the market
✅ Trading Account Position Update - Access to see our trading account holdings and live portfolio updates
Stay up-to-date
