Active trader in Futures, Currencies, Crypto. Trading on-and-off since 1993. Last 4 years, I've been working on becoming consistently profitable day trading, mostly stock index futures and some Crypto trading. This is where I spend the majority of my time.
Until trading pays the bills, I do engineering consulting work.
Background:
I come from a family of small business owners. Grandpa was a Mechanical Engineer. My uncle (my father's brother) was an electrical engineer for Rocketdyne/Nasa (yes, he was a rocket scientist). Father was an inventor and business owner.
I graduated as a mechanical engineer but was unsatisfied being an employee. Founded/operated an internet based payday loan business from 2000 to mid-2006.
Founded/operating a engineering consulting firm, along with low pressure injection mold manufacturing (tooling). I have designed automotive driveline parts, plastic injection molded parts, aircraft parts and test rigs, and complete firearms.
