My Story
How It Started
I got into trading in 2016, like many others. Curious about the markets and looking for financial freedom. But unlike most, I didn't quit after my first losses. I became obsessed with understanding why prices move, not just how to predict them.
For years, I studied price action, market structure, liquidity, and the psychology of retail traders. I spent countless hours backtesting, journaling, and refining my approach. Most importantly, I learned that risk management is everything.

Why I Started Shawn McRich Signals
By 2019, friends and fellow traders kept asking me to share my setups. I realized my analysis could help others. Not by promising overnight riches, but by providing a structured, risk-managed approach to trading.
I created Shawn McRich Signals with one core principle: I will never send a signal I wouldn't trade myself. My money is on the line right next to yours. That's skin in the game.
My Trading Philosophy
I don't believe in get-rich-quick schemes. I believe in:
- Capital Preservation First: Every signal has a stop-loss. I'd rather take a small loss than blow an account.
- Quality Over Quantity: I don't send 50 signals a day. I wait for high-probability setups.
- Transparency: All my results are verifiable on Cornix. No cherry-picking, no hiding losses.
- Education: I share my analysis on TradingView so you can learn, not just copy.
