I’ve traded just about everything — equities, futures, options, you name it. Like most traders, I started by fumbling through a hundred strategies, indicators, and paid rooms, trying to find something that worked. It wasn’t until I discovered ICT’s Smart Money Concepts that things started to click.

Price action made sense. I finally understood what the market was doing — and more importantly, why it was doing it.

But even with a solid read on structure, I still made the same costly mistakes: getting faked out, forcing trades, and letting my ego override what the chart was clearly telling me. Worse than that, I had spent all my energy mastering entries and zero effort on managing risk — the actual key to staying solvent long-term. That realization added years to my learning curve, which you get to avoid by using the On Chart Risk Manager.

The hardest problem I faced, day after day, was staying out of choppy, low-probability conditions. No matter how I sliced it, chop looked like setups — until it was too late. That’s what led me to build the Stratus Engine — a system that finally made market chop visible, and kept me out of it.

Built from Experience. Tuned for Survivors.

The tools I offer now aren’t theory — they’re the result of thousands of hours spent losing, learning, and finally building a system that could be trusted. Everything in the Skymap System is designed to work in sync with Smart Money price action. In fact, it works even better when layered with those confirmations.

If you’re just starting out or deep in the grind, my goal is simple: help you shorten your learning curve and avoid the pain I went through. I can’t promise success — but I can give you structure, clarity, and the tools to trade like it matters.

Because it does.
