Sam Shames is VP of Options at Simpler Trading and has been trading since the financial crisis in 2007. He focuses on options and macro, with a focus on the inputs that really move price.
Sam spent years developing and refining the True Momentum System by asking a single question: "What if your greatest trading enemy is between your ears?" Your biases and beliefs are noise; therefore, we look only for signal.
The result is a system that looks at all three inputs that actually move price: structure, thrust, and Trend Momentum, and it codes them into a single, mechanical buy or sell signal. No bias. No interpretation. No noise.
Sam calls it the most complete, accurate, and exciting system he's ever built. The charts speak for themselves.
"The system is doing all the work. All I have to do is execute."
