Author: Mike Toney-Hoffman

I am Mike Toney-Hoffman, founder of Financial Tech Wiz and a full-time marketer at TrendSpider, one of the leading AI-powered trading platforms. I have been trading stocks and options for nearly a decade and write Financial Tech Wiz to give traders honest, experience-backed reviews of the tools that actually matter. By day I lead content and video strategy at TrendSpider: I produce YouTube content, host live streams and webinars, write SEO-driven blog content, and build marketing campaigns for the platform. Working inside the product is what lets my reviews and tutorials on Financial Tech Wiz go deeper than the surface-level takes you see across most trading blogs. I am also the founder and product lead on the Financial Tech Wiz Trading Journal, a structured performance tracking app for active stock and options traders. Building the journal forced me to formalize what good trade review looks like, which now feeds every piece of content I publish here. Areas I write about most: trading platform reviews (TradingView, TrendSpider, thinkorswim, and others), broker reviews and journal integrations, options strategy and the swing trading workflow, technical analysis education, and trading psychology. How to verify any of this: my work at TrendSpider is public on their YouTube channel. The Financial Tech Wiz Trading Journal app is live at journal.financialtechwiz.com. You can also reach me on X or by email at [email protected]. Financial Tech Wiz does not provide personalized financial or investment advice. Everything I publish is educational.
