I'm Marcus — a swing trader on a journey to build my trading account to $10M.
Right now I'm doing so with one simple, heavily backtested edge.
I started trading seriously in 2026 with about $25k. So far, this edge has compounded my portfolio by about 0.6% a day. That pace puts the $10M goal about 3.3 years out!
I built Edge Thirteen for three reasons:
- 1. To have fun and grow my family's wealth
- 2. To teach what swing trading is, and exactly how I do it
- 3. To give new and experienced traders ideas worth testing
Along with publishing my watchlist daily, I transparently publish my portfolio, stats, and all open positions. Subscribe to follow along!
When I'm not staring at charts, I'm a husband and a dad to four kids. I love ping pong, chess, and jiu jitsu; I'm an avid collector (watches, Magic and Pokémon cards, and — yes — gargoyle action figures); and I'll take any excuse to be outdoors.
In your inbox every night
Every evening after the close, I scan the entire U.S. market and send you my curated breakout watchlist — each name with my exact entry trigger, stop, and position size. Two minutes to read.

My exact levels
Every name carries my entry trigger, my stop, and my position size — the real numbers I'm trading, not a vague “this looks good.”

Questions
Who is this for?
Self-directed traders who want to learn swing trading by following a real, systematic strategy in action every night.
Do you manage money or tell me what to buy?
No. I publish my own watchlist and trades for educational purposes. I never give personalized advice — I don't know your situation, goals, or risk tolerance.
What do I get each night?
My curated breakout watchlist: the setups I'm watching, each with my trigger, my stop, and my position size. My exit is a rule, not a number — I ride each winner and sell on the first close below its 10-day moving average.
Is this financial advice?
No. Edge Thirteen is a general-circulation educational publication of my personal trading — impersonal market commentary, not individualized investment advice. Trading carries substantial risk of loss.
