2yrFlipper:
Two years after leaving his position as an ARB clerk in the corn futures market, 2yrflipper found himself deeply entrenched in the world of bond trading. His journey took a significant turn when he became one of the early adopters of trading technology, wielding one of the first handheld devices in the trading pit. Despite acknowledging his limitations as a pit trader, his connection with Chip Kenyon, a prominent figure in the bond pit, paved the way for a remarkable opportunity. For the following two years, he immersed himself in trading a staggering volume of contracts on Chip's behalf, gaining invaluable insights into the intricacies of the trading screen that has fueled a long and successful trading career

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”.

Mr. Banks:
Working as a commercial banker and trading on the side helped Mr. Banks develop his trading style into what it is today. As a banker, his main thought is: “What’s the worst that can happen and how can I mitigate that risk?” Taking that same thought process into trading has made him focus more on his trade setups. Trade with confidence, trade what the market gives and limit the unknown factors.
