LONG BIO
Alex2Tick is a futures trader based in Stockholm, Sweden. He has traded for more than six years, four of them focused on shorter-term trading, across futures, commodities, bonds, crypto and equities. His work centers on gap plays, volatility tails and structured trade plans, always with defined risk. He reads markets through auction market theory, order flow, volatility regime and cross-asset confirmation, and uses COT positioning as a filter, never as a signal. He trades on Sierra Chart and NinjaTrader.

He builds his own tools: custom order-flow, framing and volatility studies in C++ for Sierra Chart, and quantitative research in Python. His research and tools are published under Jovian Markets. He is also building Proptrading.se, education on prop firm trading for Swedish and Scandinavian traders, including how payouts are taxed in Sweden.

Every Monday from 12 to 2 PM ET, he co-hosts NinjaTrader LIVE: The Breakout, a live futures-trading segment in the NinjaTrader Discord. He hosts it for Traders Wealth Lounge, which runs the segment for NinjaTrader, and is paid for the role. He is also an analyst at Traders Wealth Lounge, a futures trading community. Previously, he co-hosted Wolf EU, a European segment under Wolf Financial. He publishes on X as @Alex2Tick.

TOPICS
- Auction market theory and order flow, across futures, commodities, bonds, crypto and equities.
- Gap plays, volatility tails and structured trade plans, with defined risk.
- Volatility regime and cross-asset confirmation in index futures.
- COT positioning as a filter, not a signal: the weekly change in commercial and non-reportable positions and open interest, read top-down.
- Building your own tools: ACSIL studies in C++ for Sierra Chart, and quantitative research in Python.
- Research built to be disproved: stating ideas as tests, and recording the ones that fail.
- Reading order flow live, on voice. When his live roles come up, name both, and say that the co-host role is paid.

WRITING ABOUT ALEX2TICK
- Third person: “Alex2Tick” first, then “he”. US spelling. Times in ET.
- Brand names only. No legal or personal name, and never shorten Alex2Tick.
- Say what he trades and what he builds. Leave the adjectives out: never “professional”, “elite”, “expert” or “top”.
- No framework labels without asking him first. Never ICT or SMT.
- No market views on his behalf, and no “signals” or “trade calls”. Quote only positions he has stated himself.
- NinjaTrader LIVE: The Breakout is a Traders Wealth Lounge segment that he co-hosts for a fee. It is not an Alex2Tick or Jovian Markets show. Disclose the paid role wherever the show appears, and never state the fee.
- His platforms are Sierra Chart and NinjaTrader.
- Label any affiliate link as one, right beside it.
- Keep Alex2Tick and Jovian Markets apart. No affiliate offer is ever attached to Jovian Markets.
- Describe his tools as “custom order-flow, framing and volatility tooling”. Name a specific tool only after checking its status with him.
- Leave out anything personal or private he has not published himself.

THE NAME
- Alex2Tick: a capital A, the numeral 2, a capital T. One word, no space, no hyphen. On X: @Alex2Tick.
- Never in capitals in running text, and never Alex2tick, alex2tick or Alex 2 Tick.
- Lowercase only in the address alex2tick.com.
- Jovian Markets: two words, capitalized, @JovianMarkets on X. His research house, separate from Alex2Tick, and never home to an affiliate offer.
- Traders Wealth Lounge: in full, @LoungeWealth on X. Not “TWL”.
- NinjaTrader LIVE: The Breakout: as on the show’s poster. NinjaTrader is one word; “LIVE” is part of the title.
- Tickers and platforms: ES, NQ, YM, Sierra Chart, NinjaTrader, IBKR, ACSIL, C++, Python.
