About Ricky Gaspard

Founder of VolumeSpikes.com

–

Hi, I’m Ricky Gaspard — a stock trader, coder, and educator who’s been in the markets since the 1990s. I specialize in scalp trading, focusing on volume spikes, momentum, and real-time price action. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how market makers move and how everyday traders can adapt to stay ahead.

What started as a small community has grown into something much bigger — a passionate group of traders hungry to learn, improve, and succeed together. After decades of trading and building custom Thinkorswim indicators, I realized many traders were struggling to keep up in fast-moving markets. So, I began sharing my tools and strategies. The response was overwhelming — and that’s how VolumeSpikes.com was born.

Here, you’ll find the very indicators I use every day, detailed trading lessons, and a tight-knit community of like-minded traders. Whether you’re new to trading or a seasoned vet, you’re in good company.

I run live streams every weekday starting at 6 AM CST, where we break down the market together — real-time setups, entries, exits, and everything in between.

This site is now the permanent home for my indicators, strategy breakdowns, training, and premium membership. If you’re serious about taking your trading to the next level — or just want to scalp with a community that gets it — you’re in the right place.

Let’s trade smart.
Let’s trade together.
