14 years in the markets. I explain my strategies step by step, how to control risk, and which brokers and exchanges I actually use.
The same ones I use every day. They work in the browser and in Telegram.

I learned to trade in an unusual way: I turned more than 2,000 strategies into robots and tested them on years of history. That is how I learned to see what the chart repeats again and again, and what makes most people lose money.
Here I only show you what I use myself: my strategies, my indicators and the brokers and exchanges I trade with. If I wouldn't use it, I don't recommend it.
From zero to your first strategy, lesson by lesson.
My own systems, with clear entry, stop and exit rules.
I tested the bounce off the P pivot over 72 months in MT5: it lost in all 7 markets. Here's why, and which robot to use instead on USDJPY.
I tested Supertrend (10, 3) over 72 months in MT5: the classic version wins in only 2 of 7 markets; buy-only on USDJPY H4 returned +40% and passed the forward test.
I tested the London first-hour breakout over 72 months in MT5: losses in 6 of 7 markets and a fragile positive result in USDJPY. Free robot for research.
I tested Larry Williams' volatility breakout over 72 months on MT5: the classic loses in 7 of 7 markets; only long-only USDJPY D1 passed the forward test.
I tested the Keltner channel over 72 months on MT5: the classic loses almost everywhere; a wide, buy-only channel passed the forward test on gold H4. Free robot.
I tested Ichimoku over 72 months on MT5: half the markets ended at a loss; the version with a Kijun exit passed the forward test on bitcoin D1. Free robot.

Before depositing, I ask just one question: how many people does this broker serve? Why that's enough for me and how I check it.
One candlestick pattern and three setups where it works best: a trendline, Fibonacci 50 after a range, and the retest of a broken level.
