Beyond Complex Systems: How I Built a Sustainable Trading Business by Understanding Edge First

Discover the crucial lessons that separate successful traders from the 90% who fail – lessons I learned the hard way so you don’t have to.

Warning: This isn’t another “get rich quick” trading story

If you’re looking for secret indicators or magical trading systems that promise overnight success, this isn’t for you.

But if you’re serious about building a sustainable trading business – whether part-time or full-time – I’m about to share something valuable with you…

“This mini-book is outstanding because of the raw honesty, reflection, tactics, and rare play-by-play of what it looks like to go from not even knowing what you don’t know to zeroing in on the right ways to think about trading. Takes less than an hour to read. Much less if your brain is in airplane mode.”

— Kris Abdelmessih

Let me guess:

  • You’ve built sophisticated trading systems that look brilliant in backtests but fall apart in live trading

  • You feel constant anxiety about whether your strategies will suddenly stop working

  • The skills that made you successful in your technical field seem to work against you in trading

I know because I lived this exact experience.

Inside this FREE case study, you’ll discover:

  • The critical mindset shift that took me from struggling engineer to equity partner at a trading firm

  • The exact question that exposed the fatal flaw in my approach (and transformed my results)

  • Why most indie traders focus on the wrong things (and what actually matters for making money)

  • How to spot viable trading edges that indie traders can actually exploit

  • Your greatest edge as a systematic trader (hint: it’s not what you think)

  • The portfolio approach that transforms multiple “mediocre” strategies into extraordinary combined results

From Engineering to Trading: A Real-Life Success Story

Like many of you, I started with zero financial background. As an engineer, I approached trading with the same analytical mindset I used to solve technical problems.

That approach almost guaranteed my failure.

What’s bizarre is that the most successful traders I know couldn’t build a complex trading algorithm if their life depended on it. Yet most engineers and programmers approach trading by building increasingly sophisticated systems. This disconnect cost me years—and I don’t want it to cost you yours.

In this detailed case study, I’ll show you exactly how I transformed my approach, including:

The realistic path to building a trading business

The expensive mistakes I made (so you can avoid them)

How to conduct proper quantitative research that leads to profitable strategies

How to spot good edges that you can realistically harness
