January 2023 Trader Call

Chandler grew up surrounded by stocks and trading. His father, Jim, ran a wealth management company and his older brother Taylor started trading at age 16. Chandler has never been one to settle for something he doesn’t want, so in order to pursue his own marketing business, he dropped out of High School during his sophomore year. The venture into marketing led to him learning more about the markets; under his brother’s mentorship and some John Carter classes, Chandler became a full-time trader in 2018 and now works on getting better at his craft every day.

Today, Chandler is a day trader who only focuses on options; his style consists of finding the best stocks in play and taking advantage of breakouts and strong momentum while leveraging weekly options. Chandler’s must-have tools are mean/moving average, Squeeze Pro, The Cloud, and Point of Control. To him, trading is the ultimate form of self-mastery and fulfillment.
