About me

I am a momentum trader and ETF investor who utilizes options strategies to generate an additional ~6% return on top of my base portfolio. Over the last year, I have significantly reduced my overall risk exposure. Today, my primary objective is to achieve a 15–20% CAGR, but with a risk profile that is significantly lower than a standard, plain-vanilla mutual fund portfolio. As a transpersonal counselor, I see trading through a different lens. My work in modern applied psychology, NLP, and CBT has made it clear how deeply emotions, identity, and unconscious patterns shape our financial decisions. I don’t view trading as a purely technical exercise. Instead, I treat it as a holistic practice, one that requires emotional sovereignty, mental clarity, and alignment between who we are and how we show up in the markets. I’ve come to believe that sustainable success doesn’t come from chasing higher returns alone. It comes from building an internal system that remains steady when markets turn turbulent. My approach blends practical momentum strategies with psychological tools that help traders exit losing positions cleanly, stay disciplined during drawdowns, and make decisions from clarity rather than emotional reactivity. I also use options strategically, both to hedge risk and to generate additional returns, but always within a framework that prioritizes risk control and mental composure. At the core, I’m interested in developing trading systems that respect both capital and inner peace, frameworks that support consistent growth without requiring us to sacrifice our well-being in the process.
