Heather’s trading journey began in 2015 with swing trading stocks. It was during the 2020 COVID lockdown that she discovered her passion for options trading. She first learned from Allison Ostrander’s Butterflies class, then joined John Carter’s Small Account class, where his disciplined approach to trading strongly resonated with her. Since joining Simpler Trading in 2023, Heather has worked closely with John Carter, evolving from behind-the-scenes support to a Content Provider in the Small Lot Trading room.
With a particular love for trading options on SPX Heather also trades futures and excels in both day and swing trading. Her favorite strategy is Butterflies, complemented by verticals, using tools like Squeeze Pro, Quant Pivots, Voodoo Lines, Fibonacci, and Spot Gamma to identify high-probability setups. Her trading philosophy hinges on disciplined risk management—sizing positions to withstand a full loss if markets gap unexpectedly—ensuring resilience in any scenario.
A strong advocate for journaling, Heather views it as a critical yet underrated tool for uncovering insights about markets and personal trading habits. In the Small Lot Trading room, she complements John Carter’s bold style with a less aggressive, smaller-sized approach, emphasizing emotional mastery and mindset. Through her detailed trade analysis for every trade she alerts, Heather takes complex strategies and breaks them down into clear, easy-to-understand lessons, guiding traders to build confidence and skill in their trading journey.
