Scott Hodson began investing in 1995 and day/swing trading in 2007. Scott was born and raised in Silicon Valley and was always surrounded with computers at an early age since his father was an electrical engineer and member of the famous "Homebrew computer club." He earned a BS and MS in Computer Science at two distinguished universities.
After college, his first job was to work for a software company that made portfolio management software for Wall St. brokerage firms. He later moved to NYC and worked on Wall Street as a project manager and client liaison to some of the biggest brokerage houses on the street. He eventually gravitated towards investing and trading, finding his niche in developing automated trading systems and using quantitative approaches to model markets.
He was one of the earliest members of futures.io, back when it was just Big Mike's blog (before he had forums) about the time he started learning how to program in Ninjascript. He has run the "Orange County Traders Meetup" since January 2009 and has about 1,300 active members today.
In 2014 he launched ProbableTrades.com as a site to publish actual probabilities of trade setups and still uses it today in his own trading. Today he trades a variety of instruments and strategies that work best for him.
