Dante (@DGTrading101)

Dante (DGTrading101) has been actively day trading for almost 6 years now, and quit his job as a financial analyst at a small consulting firm to trade full time in October of 2015. He’s always been drawn to high volatility momentum stocks, and IU really helped him navigate those waters. Between 2011-2014 he blew up multiple accounts learning everything the hard way, then finally found traction in late 2014 with a focus on smallcap short selling. Dante is a research-oriented fundamental trader, focused on reading tape, price, and volume. He is primarily looking for bigger picture moves rather than scalping. Dante strictly trades Nasdaq momentum names. His strategy is almost entirely short-biased, roughly 5/95 long/short strategy.

  zZzz day here. Was hoping the ZN short worked but no dice really, small winner there and gave a little back on few others, nothing even worth mentioning. RTNB: I never got involved here today, killer ramp early then sit back & consolidated midday. Was tough...
