I killed 15 trading strategies before they could kill my account.

Most algo-trading content sells you a strategy. I'll show you the system that executes them — pre-registered kill criteria, strategy passports, and a dated research journal where most ideas die. Free: the full kill list, with the real numbers.

15+ documented kills — every one dated, logged, and adjudicated against criteria written before the test ran

Real spreads, real paper trading — every figure labeled simulated; no profit claims, anywhere, ever

The audit that caught my own log lying — and the process that made that possible

• How I retired my own live bot, then learned it was worse than the record showed
• The reconciliation audit that caught a false claim in my own research log
• The one-page Strategy Passport system — the template ships in the PDF

Who this is for

You're trying to get into algo trading and you've noticed the pattern: every backtest looks great until real money touches it. You don't need another indicator. You need the process that separates "looks profitable" from "survives contact" — and the discipline to kill what doesn't.
Who it's NOT for: anyone looking for signals, guaranteed returns, or a bot to buy. There are no profit promises here. That's the point.

About

I build and run a quantitative forex research operation — live paper-trading bots, a six-year spread-modeled backtest engine, and a governance system with a formal kill discipline. I publish the failures because that's where the education is.

All performance figures referenced on this page and in associated materials are simulated, spread-modeled, paper-trading research records. Hypothetical performance results have inherent limitations: no hypothetical record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading, and no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. All content is educational only and is not investment, financial, or trading advice. Trading foreign exchange carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone.
