Analyzing Alpha
Hi There, Leo Here
My name is Leo Smigel, and I have a problem.
It all started when I was a kid playing real-time strategy games — namely Warcraft 3 and StarCraft 2. I studied the pros until I eventually became one of the top players in the US.
Fast forward to today, and I’m obsessed with a new strategy game: making money in the markets. I find it a beautiful game that I’m lucky enough to play for a living.
I love to learn, and I share much of it on Analyzing Alpha. I aspire to be the resource I wish I had when learning how to trade and invest.
