Welcome to The WorkBench
The new home for the nitty-gritty.
Hey everyone,
My analytical content on Zen Trades is based on extensive data synthesis. It’s great stuff, and I want to share all that, but not everyone wants—or needs—to know how the sausage is made. The actionable takeaways from observation, planning, and execution are sufficient for many traders. But for those of you who crave a more profound understanding of how I come to my conclusions, The Workbench exists just for you.
What You’ll Find Here
This newsletter houses two core sections to start:
Supplemental Data — The key technical metrics, charts, and indicators I use weekly to create the main Zen Trades newsletter updates. Think of this as the raw materials: market-structure breakdowns, sentiment, and money flows. It’s the data layer that informs every call.
Analyze Reports — Detailed reports, in-depth studies, and market correlations that bridge the gap between understanding the markets and formulating actionable plans. This is where I dive beneath the surface, peeling back the layers of the strategies I share. It’s for those who want to connect the dots, understand the “why” behind every decision, and explore the frameworks shaping each move.
Why The Separation from Zen Trades?
Mostly, it’s hard to get that separation natively in Substack without every user jumping through hoops in the settings. Secondarily, these topics can be very dense and technical. I’ve separated this content so people who don’t need it won’t be bogged down in material they’ll just get lost in. If you’re here, it means you’ve opted in—you’re ready to refine your trading edge and go deeper.
The Workbench is your map to mastery. It’s messy, it’s detailed, and it’s where the real work happens.
Let’s get to it.
