About
Zen Trading provides discretionary portfolio management and investment advice to high‑net-worth individuals through separately managed accounts, advising on ETFs, exchange‑listed and foreign securities, options and other instruments. The firm reported approximately $2.05 million in discretionary assets under management across five clients.
The firm combines charting/technical analysis with fundamental research and uses both long‑ and short‑term strategies, including short sales, options and margin, while generally avoiding market timing and tailoring portfolios to each client’s objectives and restrictions. Accounts are actively monitored with periodic reviews and clients may impose reasonable investment limitations.
Noteworthy elements in the brochure include an affiliation with another registered investment adviser: a managing member is also an owner and licensed investment adviser representative with Serene Growth Partners, and that relationship is disclosed along with equity compensation there. Zen Trading also offers performance‑based fee arrangements subject to high‑water‑mark and tiered thresholds available only to qualified clients, and the brochure describes controls intended to address the conflicts those features can create.

Forms ADV
Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
