HIS ADVICE TO OTHER TRADERS

"Approach your job and approach the market with an alpha-seeking mentality, be an independent thinker, and don't just believe what people say, no matter how senior they are or how many of them are saying the same thing."

"Always verify yourself with data and your own independent and authentic analysis."
