Adam Collins
Adam Collins is the Founder and Portfolio Manager of Movement Capital, a flat-fee investment advisor headquartered in Ridgeland, Mississippi. In addition to his main business, he also offers various online resources for traders. His websites make it easy to visualize a certain type of data. He currently covers positioning, seasonality, and a bunch of S&P indicators—all for free. There are a plethora of inferior paid services for retail traders—heavy on noise and low on signal. Collins is seeking to address this void.

Collins' advice to someone starting in trading today:
- Start small, embrace the journey and identify your specialty.
- Enjoy the struggle.
- Evolving and growing as a trader never stops.
- Don't think that you have to pay thousands of dollars to learn how to trade a certain way.
- Do experiment with different styles to see what you have an affinity for.
- Once you identify that style, solely focus on it for a while.
- Don't think you have to trade like everybody else.
- Explore less common markets.
- Being emotionally balanced is crucial.
- If you have a crappy diet, don’t exercise, or have unresolved personal issues, you’re not going to do anything well, let alone trade well.
- Get your life in order first so that you’ve got a strong foundation to succeed in trading.
