I've been trying to figure out the market since 1998.

For most of that time, I did what everyone else did. Followed Industry Experts. Watched Jim Cramer. Tried to pick stocks manually based on whatever the "experts" were saying.

It never amounted to anything good. If I'm being honest, there were a lot more losses than wins. I don't even want to think about the total.

Then AI became available to the masses.

YouTube exploded with videos promising easy money. Day traders showing off profits. "This indicator never fails." I followed them. I tried their methods. I bought into the dream.

None of it was real.

The ones who were even halfway successful? They spent hours and hours in front of their screens. Skipping meals. Afraid to use the bathroom in case they missed a trade.

That sounded like hell to me.

So I decided to build my own solution.

I have a computer science background. I figured — AI can do all kinds of things. If patterns in charts actually exist the way traders claim, AI should be able to find them.

So I started experimenting. Building code. Backtesting. Breaking things. Rebuilding.

Eventually, I developed a strategy I could tweak per symbol and run on a platform with a paper account — so I could observe execution in live market conditions before risking real money.

That changed everything.

For the first time, I could watch the system trade without my interference. No overrides. No second-guessing. No "gut feelings" that cost me money.

When I saw the system execute better than I ever could, I knew this was real.

But I didn't want to keep it to myself.

I was looking to build a community of people to share this with.

That's why licenses are capped at 15,000. I'm not trying to scale to millions of users. I want to build something small, focused, and real.

Maybe some of you are like me. Maybe you want to build and code strategies too. Maybe we create a team someday — more strategies built within a community that started right here.

That's the dream.
