Who we are
A builder and a psychologist. The system, and the discipline to follow it.
Harvard. Background in private equity and quantitative trading. Designed and built the system: the execution engine, the risk rules, and the data testing behind every rule.
UCLA, Psychology. Training in statistics and research methods. Leads the behavioral side: why traders lose to overconfidence, chasing losses and revenge trading, and how to measure it in the data. Writes the weekly lessons on discipline.
Not affiliated with or endorsed by Harvard or UCLA.
The record
Every settled trade, both accounts, after fees. Delayed, never live.
More numbers
The right way to trade
Eight rules. None are secret. All are harder to follow than they look.
Only trade when the price is wrong
If the edge doesn't beat the fees, we pass.
Size small
A bad day should sting, not hurt.
Cap the worst case
Loss limits per window and per day, set in advance.
After a loss, everything sits out
Every market, both accounts, one hour.
Never chase
No doubling up to win it back.
Speed and discipline over prediction
We don't out-guess the market. We act fast and follow the rules.
Read the whole record
Wins are small, losses are bigger. Only the total counts.
Test before you trust
Past data, then paper, then small real money.
