Trading stocks, mostly Swing Trades, occasionally shorting. Investing in some long positions as appropriate. Self directed Investor only.I study the markets, stock price action, look for patterns, and analyze price movement to produce winning results in aggregate where probabilities are high, risk is low. Winning trades will mean losing trades too, however, the trend in aggregate is profit is greater than loss. This body of work is treated as a business so the P&L must make sense; My goal in trading is winning a 3:1 ratio in dollar gains versus dollar loss.My methods are based mainly on CAN SLIM. From Market Wizards - `Best traders are humble, they suppress their ego to be successful traders`Part time 2015 to present. Within reasonable timeframes. I don't trade unless I have an edge. The money is made in sitting.Full time during 2014.

• Led the design, planning and build out of 3-node ViPR cluster environments with simulators for performance and scale regression testing of software builds. • Led large scale system stress and longevity testing to determine throughput and response time at the system and component level of hardware and software. This included performing workload characterization, troubleshooting, identifying potential performance and capacity bottlenecks and the identification of the probable failing component. • Monitored and collected various data groups including performance metrics during performance and scale tests; retrieving the data using MySQL performance data for postmortem heuristic analysis. Provided weekly Performance and scale reports to senior management and stake holders, including TPS and throughput.• Tested and successfully implemented CISCO fabric, Windows Hosts, and VASA simulators.• Hands on in solving problems in the software performance engineering arena- provide code and scripts to help automate setup/build/test/reporting process (python, java).
