Free. No credit card. Educational research, not personal advice.
Breakouts work until the market stops trending. Buying dips works until the dip is the start of something bigger. A good playbook can fail in the wrong market.
I built a regime model to answer one question: what kind of market is this? The brief gives you the read, plus what the rules-based systems did.
Every brief is built around what matters for that day’s tape. Browse the archive →

I worked in high-threat environments in Iraq and Haiti. The rule was simple: protect yourself first, then read the environment before you act.
I built my first trading systems in Iraq. A hit on the power, the internet or my laptop could lock me out of my accounts. The trades had to run without me.
They still do. I build rules-based systems and publish the results, good or bad.
