Welcome to Project Snowflake


Why do this?  - I don't want anyone else to go through the same struggle and pain that I had to endure.  If you have traded the markets for any period of time, you exactly know what I mean.  For an “Outsider” it's like trying to see in the pitch dark.  I understand the value of having a precise roadmap at the beginning of a journey like the one you plan on undertaking.

The world is changing quickly as we are in the middle of the 5th Industrial Revolution.  Artificial Intelligence, Vertical Integration of Supply Chains, Mega Corporations, Global Systems of Control, and resulting effects on the Job Market will be the key themes for the next decade.  It is upon each one of us to prepare and protect our family's future. 

I am thrilled we are connected and I am excited for the journey ahead.  I want to share the experience and knowledge that I have gained from trading the financial markets with YOU.  Just reach out to me!

Frequently asked questions

What are the most important factors for a Traders success?

  1. Focus on one instrument and master its behavior while practicing technical analysis over a long period (a few months at least)
  2. Knowing why your strategy will work i.e. knowing the statistical edge of the strategy you are trading
  3. Risking the smallest amount possible per trade at the beginning of the career and increasing risk incrementally as you gain market experience. 

Which Indicators do you recommend for Trading?

Trading indicators must fit into your trade plan such that they give you precise analysis and input to make decisions around risk, entry, and exit criteria. You do not need all 200 indicators that are available in your trading platform. At a minimum you need:

  1. Price action analysis for Risk, Entry, and Exits

  2. Volume Analysis for confirmations

  3. Market Internals for analysis the market environment/ conditions

What is unique about the courses offered by Snowflake Trader?

 The 3 courses available on the website are designed to help Traders in different stages of their pursuit. They center around trading education, experience, and business operation. Which is the natural path of Trader's evolution. 

Why do I need to know the edge of a Trading Strategy?

A strategy's edge is a reflection of its historical performance, which forms your guardrails when you use it in the real live market. 1, 2 or even 3 bad trades in a row will not cause you to lose confidence in the strategy. You will know in advance how often the strategy should work in a sample set of, let's say 50 trades. You will analyze the strategy's performance only at the end of that sample set and adjust entries and exits according to your own data. How can you just blindly trust some strategy forever without having any concrete data to support it?

Who is our competition?

For the most part, a retail trader's competition is with the market maker, which is essentially a set of algorithms.

Why is Trader Education course Free?

To level the playing field! The Trader Education course contains complete information that is required for any retail trader to become successful. It has the necessary information about the market, its participants & behavior, risk & money management, and psychological pieces. It also covers the use of automation, strategy building, and testing. With this information, You can build your own tools, processes, and mindset to trade according to your risk appetite and lifestyle. It is the most valuable course on the site and I have kept it FREE as my contribution back to this profession!

What would you suggest a struggling trader?

I would ask them to perform a root cause analysis of why are they struggling and really honestly find the answer. You may have multiple reasons:
  1. Lack of time to trade safely. You work 9-5 and your attention is not adequate for you to analyze the constantly changing market conditions.
  2. You don't know the edge of your strategy, so you keep switching trade plans or strategies.
  3. You may not have adequate capital for the strategy and the instrument you are trading. e.g. Trading ES futures contract with a $1000 account.
  4. Simply your experience does not match the type of strategy or instrument you are trading.

What should a Beginner Trader expect from trading?

Expect the following:
  1. The market is designed to take your money!
  2. Trading is tougher than it seems
  3. You should plan for a minimum of 1 year of learning cycle, 1 year of gaining experience from which you will improve.
  4. To make millions a year "SAFELY", you need to start with a couple of million.
