Why this exists

Built in a bunker, because I couldn't sit at a screen.

I'm Chris Dover. Former Marine. Former hedge fund manager. Trading for more than 26 years — from before the dot-com crash through every cycle since.

I ran security operations in Iraq from 2004 to 2011. Started building systematic trading strategies because I couldn't sit at a screen while deployed, and because I couldn't trust my gut when my life was built around not trusting gut decisions.

Every system on this site runs on rules that worked in markets I wasn't watching. That's the whole point. Define the edge. Size the risk. Execute on schedule. No overrides, no hero trades, no hope. My family's money is in these systems. Yours probably shouldn't be unless the methodology holds up to a serious look.

How it works + who it's for

The same process institutional allocators use. Built for traders who want systems, not signals.

01 · CLASSIFY

Classify the regime.

Every morning, the dual SQN classifier reads the market and outputs one of nine regime states. That read determines which strategies run that day.

02 · MATCH

Match the strategy.

Trend engines fire in trending regimes. Mean-reversion in choppy ones. Crisis-buying only when VIX and breadth capitulate. No strategy trades against its environment.

03 · EXECUTE

Execute the rules.

Every signal has an entry, a stop, a size, and an exit. No discretionary overrides. If the rule fires, the trade happens. If it doesn't, we wait.

This is for you if

  • • You want defined rules, not trade ideas to interpret.
  • • You want a live track record and open methodology.
  • • You want to spend five minutes a day, not five hours.
Not a fit if:

You want tips and picks. You trade on gut feel. You think "systematic" means "guaranteed." You need a trading coach. We don't do any of that.
