I've always embraced critical thinking and play in equal parts throughout life. It's a simple formula that brings balance and breadth to one's being. That philosophy often made me a contrarian (especially in contrast to those who live their lives prescriptively), which is probably why I found trading to be such a fruitful and fulfilling endeavour over the last 15+ years. My trading style is anchored in risk management but continually evolving based on research and tinkering. Trading is mostly art, and a living artist is one that keeps on pushing the boundaries, finding comfort not in the known but the possibilities of the unknown.
