How I trade.

The rule set, the daily report that runs the book, and the real numbers: up to US$87K in capital, a −12.5% year, and what two leveraged ETFs taught me.

Market research

Market briefings.

Reports I write for my trading group. Each one picks a question, works through positioning, options and macro, then makes a call and names the level that would prove it wrong.

Is the S&P 500 really replaying 2000?

Everyone's been posting the "S&P 500 looks like 2000" chart. I slid the two windows against each other and computed the correlation at every lag to see how real the match is. It's mostly curve-fitting.

Netflix churn study chart

Why people cancel Netflix

A 44-person survey on churn. Correlations, t-tests, a Friedman test and a regression that explains 66% of cancel intent. Paid sharing is the biggest driver, not the algorithm.

About

A bit about me.

I grew up in Tehran, moved to Vancouver, did two years at UBC Okanagan and transferred to Sauder in 2024. Outside class I trade a live account alongside a group of four (a wealth manager, a commercial banker, two friends) and write the weekly read-through for them. I use AI a lot when I build things and I'm upfront about it; the ideas, the rules and the calls are mine.

Off the desk: tennis, violin, espresso, board-game nights, and slowly learning French.
