CONGRATULATIONS gkaigher!
Gkraigher started out as a floor trader at the CBOE and CME, specializing in S&P 500 Options as a market maker. Most of his previous experience is in options, so he has taken advantage of TopstepTrader and its resources to improve his trading in futures. He has found that through the combine process, if he is actively thinking about "what if" scenarios at any given moment, he is ready to pounce on great opportunities when they present themselves.
He uses a combination of market profile, pivot points, support and resistance levels, and moving averages to determine trading areas. Gkraigher then uses RSI, MACDs, and Stocastics as triggers around those areas. He hopes to build enough capital to trade 20 lots with his funded trader account. He wants to be one of TopstepTrader’s best traders and save enough to buy his girlfriend an engagement ring. To maximize his strengths, gkraigher keeps a similar routine for each day by exercising to relieve stress and maintaining a positive attitude. He takes an honest inventory of himself and determines how he can manage things differently when things go wrong. He reviews all of his trades and keeps a log of each day's work. To prepare for trading, gkraigher locates trading areas for the next day based on market profile, pivot points, support and resistances, and moving averages and marks them on his charts. He reads the WSJ every morning and looks at the long term charts.
