Nice Write Up and Feedback



Just wanted to say a quick thanks to fellow trader Stephen K. for a nice write up he did about Swimdicators over at his new website, StockTradersJourney.com. Feel free to go check out the post and as well as the other resources he has written about based on his experience working toward becoming a better trader.

Stephen is a Swimdicators customer from the northeastern U.S., a ThinkOrSwim user, and we also recently realized we share a mutual friend in the person of my fellow Nashville trader Jerremy Newsome of Real Life Trading. RLT does a lot of gap trading and some of the classes I took at Jerremy’s old company are what led me to actually program the premarket gap scans in the first place, so that was a pretty cool connection.

I really appreciate Stephen’s positive feedback on my work here and I’ll try to stay worthy of it! 🙂 Thanks!
