About ↩
The purpose of the System Trader (#ST) software is to provide you with a comprehensive solution to consciously invest in the capital market based on effective and proven long-term investment strategies. #ST is a great help in moving from theory to practice, based on facts, not guesswork.
#ST includes a dozen examples of ready-to-use investment strategies modelled on outstanding investors (Warren Buffett, Ray Dalio and many others), the effectiveness of which can be checked in a period of up to 100 years. You can modify existing or build your own investment strategies from scratch, and then verify their behaviour based on the historical data built into the application.
#ST focuses on long-term investments in which your involvement may be limited to a few minutes a month or less.
Who am I? ↩
In 2018, I launched the System Trader podcast, in which I try to present practical, proven and verifiable methods of investing in capital markets. I try to reach distinguished and recognized experts all over the world.
I graduated in computer science, and I have been a professional programmer for 15 years, working for such companies as Motorola and IBM. In 2007, I started my adventure with capital markets.
Experience in the field of computer science and knowledge in the field of investing allows me to implement a unique project for investors. My ambition is to present a practical approach to investing based on hard rules and numbers, rather than conspiracy theories, guesses and predicting the future.
