Dave was an electrical engineer who hated Corporate America, loved numbers, and was drawn to trading because of its freedom. Dave has a trading system that is a mean reversion system in S&P’s. He likes this system because he gets validated quickly with quick and frequent wins. His system is correct 60% of the time, and when he is right, he makes 1x his risk.

Mr. Timing was capable enough to perfectly call every market swing of 10% or more. Mr. Timing bought at the exact low tick of every bottom prior to a 10% or higher move up and exited at the exact high tick before every
