"More impressive than his conquest of Wall St. was his notion of giving it all away."

Between the ages of 24 to 30, a different sort of endeavor was underway.  Though offered to exhibit in the most exclusive of galleries in New York City,  it was the sheer might and power of New York's financial institutions which would provide the next frontier of challenge.  And while this endeavor could have been waged on the floor of such trading institutions, the technology of the period would provide a means to engage such from afar. The six years of economic warfare that would follow would prove to be both the most tumultous of times, and the most technologically boonful.  The spoils of this multi-year struggle (one of perhaps the most profitable trading systems of all time, as well as a means to automate it) would vastly outweigh the costs of the campaign.

Initially thought to be a quick and virtually overnight campaign of simple strategy implementation,  the quest for Wall St. turned out to be a multi-year struggle punctuated with both death-defying losses and epiphanic gains.  Modestly funded with nothing more than an affinity for the markets and a mindset that failure was not an option, the quest to develop an automated and universally profitable trading system was underway.  As days would turn to weeks, weeks into months, and months into years, countless thousands of trading prototypes would be born.  And while some would yield returns upon back-testing that would rival institutions of over 1,000 times in size,  none would prove to be universal in nature.  Such a universal system could be implemented on financially traded securities of all kinds, including stocks, bonds, and commodities, but perhaps most importantly: on all markets worldwide.

On October 13, 2007, the quest for the universal trading system had come to an end.  On this fourth year of development,  a technological boon of innovation struck.  Having an uncanny ability to profit off of any stock, on any market, on virtually any time frame traded, this new, unconventional trading system would come to be known as The Momentum Predictor, and was the first system to be able to do so in modern economic history.  After the realization of this trading system's potential became clear, months of backtesting would ensue.  The end result was a means to turn a sum of money into a small fortune, and to do so on multiple financial platforms across the globe.   Such versatility would have its limits, however, as multiple markets and intraday price volatility would prove to be tedious for traders to execute.  To combat this, the second leg of The Electronic Wars would have to be waged.   (Expand)

On September 7, 2009, after almost two full years of development in the fields of algorithmic encoding and intra-day price movement, the automation of the Momentum Predictor was achieved.  This illusive quest for automation provided for a "hands-off" trading system, one in which no human interaction was needed for profit.  Quite different from larger financial institutions' black-boxes (which rely upon small price differences to profit, namely arbitrage), the Automated Momentum Predictor, or AMP, was powered by one of the most robust trading systems ever developed.  The ability to deploy the AMP across multiple markets globally with minimal human oversight would mark a life-changing event for the inventor.  Together, the development of the Momentum Predictor and the AMP would mark the end of The Electronic Wars...   (Expand)
