Frequently asked questions
Are these affiliate links?
Some links may be affiliate links, meaning I could earn a commission if you sign up using them — at no extra cost to you. I only list tools I personally use and trust. See the footer for full disclosure.
Why only three tools? Are these the only ones worth using?
These are the tools in my current active stack. I add new ones when I genuinely adopt them. More categories (journal, risk management, economic calendar) will be filled in as I finalize my workflow.
Is Apex Trader Funding legit?
Yes — it's a funded futures prop firm with a real track record. As with any prop firm, you should read the rules carefully and understand you can lose your evaluation fee. Always trade within their guidelines.
Is GexBot accurate?
GEX data is a derivative of options positioning and is directionally useful, not a magic signal. I use it as a context layer alongside price action, not as a standalone trigger.
Do I need to pay for TradingView?
The free plan covers a lot. I personally use a paid plan for multi-chart layouts and more indicators. Start free, upgrade when you find yourself hitting limits.
Should I follow your trades?
Absolutely not. I share analysis for educational context only. Nothing on this page or my X account constitutes financial advice. Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss.
