SaltWaterBRC is a personal blog documenting my journey learning to trade options from absolute zero.
The Setup
I'm Brandon. I have a background in tech, not trading. I helped my friend Ed build go-maz.com — an options trading screener and analysis platform — using Claude AI and Cloudflare. Somewhere along the way, Ed started teaching me what all the data on the site actually means.
This blog is the result: a real-time journal of learning options trading, starting with $1,000 on Tastytrade, guided by Ed's rule-based framework on Go Maz.
