Now

This is a now page, inspired by Derek Sivers. Updated periodically — last updated June 2026.

Trading

• Trading my own account, learning Nick Schmidt’s character change and buying in bases frameworks from his weekly charts
• Building a chart-pattern corpus and a company corpus so I can re-read past setups and not forget what I saw
• First real position-sized trade: CRCL at $106, stop $84, 0.5% account risk. Live now

Building

• A personal knowledge system (tbrain, private) that’s expanding past journaling into trading, research, and writing
• This website — finally getting a real publishing surface up after months of “work in progress” parked at uponvolume.com

Reading

• (currently reading list goes here)

Not doing

• No client work, no consulting, no contract gigs. By choice. Want to see how far I can get on my own work and my own trading
