I built an algorithmic trading system that runs without me. Now I travel, build things, and take on work I actually want to do.

Philosophy
I never wanted to be one thing. I trade, I build, I design, I code. AI has made it possible to do all of that without a team. I find that more interesting than specializing, and so far it has worked out.
Automated strategies that scan, signal, execute, and manage risk. I don't watch charts all day.
Scrapers, inference pipelines, workflow automation. If I do something more than twice, I automate it.
Motion graphics, video editing, 3D printing, graphic design. Making things with your hands, even if the hands are digital.
View visual workI build web products myself, front to back. Mostly for my own use, sometimes for clients.
Studied it formally, apply it constantly. Most problems in trading and business are really problems in behavior.
Everything I build has to work from a laptop in a different country. That constraint shapes most of my decisions.

Timeline
Spent most of my teenage years taking things apart and putting them back together. Had no idea that counted as anything useful.
Studied graphic design. Learned type, layout, color. Mostly learned to look at things more carefully.
Started a video production company in Germany. Clients, projects, real income. Also realized quickly that selling hours has a ceiling.
Started learning to trade. Read a lot, lost some money, figured out that the psychological side is harder than the technical side.
Got into motion design, worked with SaaS companies, took on creative direction for an Atlassian partner. Kept trading on the side.
Started learning algorithmic trading. Wrote my first strategies in MQL5, ran backtests, broke things repeatedly. It clicked.
Went full-time on trading. Built out the infrastructure, tested it thoroughly, and got to a point where I could actually rely on it.
The trading system runs on its own. I'm traveling, taking on projects I find interesting, and building things for the longer term.
About
Trader · Builder · Creative
I'm a trader, builder, and creative based wherever I happen to be. I built an algorithmic trading system in MQL5 that trades forex futures automatically. That gave me time back. I use it to travel and work on things that interest me — web products, motion graphics, automation projects, and the occasional weird idea.

I built an algorithmic trading system that trades forex futures on its own. That freed up my time. Now I travel and work on things that genuinely interest me.
