About Ric:

Ric had a fairly normal middle-class childhood and had developed an interest in tinkering with things at a young age. As an adult, he married a woman named Diane and they had a daughter, Beth. Ric eventually became a scientist and after his wife was killed by an alternate version of himself, he dedicated his life to avenging her death and reconnecting with his grandson… I think… That or he’s just a dude slinging some UB.

This week’s roundtable focuses on trading multiple accounts and the systems they use to protect themselves. They talk about rotating accounts based on performance, using different accounts for different trading days, and not getting fixated on specific profit targets. They also emphasize the importance of focusing on the quality of trading setups rather than the monetary goals. In the Good, Bad and Ugly, Baba Yaga eclipses another highwater mark, Kyle makes an improvement based on his journal observations and they wrap things up by critiquing some bold predictions that made headlines over the past week!

Baba Yaga:

Solving problems, helping set goals, and refining processes is the bulk of Baba's passion. He does that in many contexts ranging from nonprofits to real estate firms and everything in between. He focuses on market structure through the lens of TPO charting and executes based on volume, misplaced large orders, and delta. He loves the opening range breakout and typically trades the market from the “inside out”.
