I rarely do any kind of recent market commentary these days because I would never be able to keep up with it. I've been in this business for a good amount of time now. I was active during the last recession and I'll be blunt: that is the last time I have seen trading like […]

I feel as though I can never take in enough when it comes to execution. Had I known years ago what I know now, I would have made this a much higher priority in my early days. There is a bit of a problem with this, however, as most of what we know nowadays was […]
