Baba Yaga:Solving problems, helping set goals, and refining processes is the bulk of Baba's passion. He does that in many contexts ranging from nonprofits to real estate firms and everything in between. He focuses on market structure through the lens of TPO charting and executes based on volume, misplaced large orders, and delta. He loves the opening range breakout and typically trades the market from the “inside out”.

As a firm believer in the "Grind," Perdue chose to embrace putting in the work and serves as a example of how dedication and self-belief can propel you to great heights.
A self-taught, no-nonsense trader, Perdue is unwaveringly supportive, but he doesn't sugarcoat the truth. His belief in discipline and hard work is not only evident in his own journey but extends to his interactions with others. When Perdue recognizes these qualities in fellow traders, he goes above and beyond to offer support, especially when they are navigating through challenges.
