Turn your read into a system you can automate
You already have a read on the market — the way you size SPY, wait on NQ, or lean on a level. Consulting turns that discretionary read into explicit, testable rules you can automate — the same thing the daily Lean Report does, built around your method instead of mine.
Who it’s for
Independent and retail traders — especially IBKR day-traders — who have a repeatable read that lives mostly in their head, and want it written down as rules they can review, test, and eventually hand to code or an AI agent.
What we build together
- Codified rules — your entries, exits, position sizing, and invalidation written as explicit, unambiguous logic.
- A testable spec — the method structured so it can be backtested and reviewed against what you actually did, not what you meant to do.
- A path to automation— where it fits, working AI-assisted or automated execution, drawing on 10+ years building fully automated trading systems. It’s the done-with-you version of the Build Your Own Automated Trading System guide.
How it works
- Free 30-minute scoping call. Walk me through your current method and where it breaks down. No prep required.
- Fixed quote and plan. You get the scope, approach, and a fixed price up front — no retainers, no hourly surprises.
- A deliverable you own outright. The rules, spec, and tooling are yours to keep, extend, or hand off. No lock-in.
The guarantees
- Under NDA from day one — your method and edge stay confidential.
- Fixed scope, fully yours — you own every artifact we produce.
- Money-back guarantee— if the output doesn’t match the agreed scope, you don’t pay. You’re buying an outcome, not a timesheet.
What it’s not
This is system engineering only. It is not trading advice, market views, signals, broker recommendations, or tax and legal counsel — it makes your process repeatable and automatable.
Frequently asked questions
Do you give trading advice or signals?
No. This is process and system engineering only — I help you codify and automate your own method. No signals, no market calls, no broker, tax, or legal advice.
What do I walk away with?
A documented, testable version of your strategy — explicit rules, a spec, and (where it fits) working automation — that you own outright. No lock-in, no retainer.
How much does it cost?
After a free 30-minute scoping call you get a fixed-price quote for the agreed scope — no hourly surprises. If the deliverable doesn't match what we agreed, you don't pay.
