About Robot Wealth
Robot Wealth is the research lab and shared infrastructure for independent quants: technically minded traders who research and run systematic strategies on their own terms.
I’m Kris Longmore. I run it from my home in the south-west of Western Australia. I trade a portfolio of systematic strategies for my own account, and I share the strategies, the research, the tools and the thinking with the hundreds of independent quants in RW Pro.
We also run Trade Like a Quant, the foundation course that teaches the edge-first approach to systematic trading.
How it got here
I started as an engineer, the kind that builds things in the physical world. Trading began as a side interest. What followed was years of every beginner mistake in the book: chart patterns, then increasingly elaborate backtests. Eventually I was throwing machine learning at market data and calling it research.
The turning point was a simple question from a professional trader: “What’s your edge?” I had no answer.
That question rebuilt my approach from the ground up. It took me to an equity partnership at a proprietary trading firm, and later to my own operation, run from home. Today I trade a portfolio of strategies that needs only part-time attention, and I spend the rest of my time with my family and my community.

Euan Sinclair

@hac
Infrastructure
@hac builds our data systems and the API, plus the rest of the plumbing that keeps the data clean and the tools running. We recruited him from inside the community, where he’s one of our most successful members in terms of his own trading operation, and he’s earning his chops as a researcher and trader on top of the infrastructure work. He prefers to stay anonymous and go by his handle.
What we believe
Edge comes first. Without a reason your trade should make money, nothing else matters.
Simple beats complex. Most of our strategies can be traded with a spreadsheet.
Portfolio beats prediction. Your greatest edge is trading multiple uncorrelated edges.
Honesty beats hype. Edges are noisy and some strategies lose money for months. We say that upfront.
Process beats outcomes. Any single trade is close to a coin flip. The process is what matters over hundreds of trades.
