Confessions of a System Addict: Trading Strategies That Work and Create Monster Returns

I can build anything!

You want a trend following system? Done.

You want a strategy to find stocks with killer fundamentals? I can build that, too.

Sentiment indicators pulling data from social media? Easy.

At this point, the possibilities are endless. I can build it, tweak it, backtest it… you name it.

So why do I spend most of my time trading futures and macro instead of hyping up some stock picking service? Why not focus on stocks and rake in cash by selling strategies to retail traders?

Because that wouldn’t be me. It wouldn’t be honest.

Here’s the deal: I primarily trade futures, ETFs, and macro setups, with a sprinkle of stocks here and there when the timing feels right. And my goal isn’t to sell you a dream. It’s to educate you by showing what a transparent process looks like so you can do it for yourself.

Think about the greatest traders you’ve ever heard of, the ones who’ve racked up legendary returns. Soros, Druckenmiller, Paul Tudor Jones… what do they all have in common? They’re trading futures and macro.

That’s where the best opportunities live. History and backtesting both prove it. (And no, I’m not talking about your local yacht cluber trader who brags about “making 1% a day” on meme stocks or his year end 32432423423% return which is fake.)

For me, it just makes sense. My style, my time frame, my worldview, it’s all aligned with macro. I don’t trust companies or governments to tell the truth or earnings reports.

A circus. My approach is built for someone who wants to be free, mentally hopping from one part of the world to another, looking for signals and fresh ideas.

Here’s the beauty of macro: diversification. I’m playing currencies, commodities, stock sectors, country indices, crypto, and bonds.

Everything is on the table.

And I love this game. Seriously. As a macro trader, I can go anywhere, trade anything.

An earthquake in some random country?

Maybe I’m buying stock in a window installation company.

Spot a mining opportunity on a remote island?

Maybe I’m structuring that deal myself.
