Algorithmic Trading · Built from Scratch

An engineer builds an automated trading system from scratch.

No Wall Street background. No team. Just 50 years of building things and six rules-based strategies that watch the market around the clock — without me touching them.

The Story

Built by an engineer, not a trader.

After 50 years working with electronics, broadcast systems, minicomputers, and software — I turned that same systems-engineering mindset toward the stock market.

No hedge fund. No team. Just me, a Raspberry Pi, a cloud VPS, and a set of rules that execute trades automatically while I sleep.

The goal isn't to beat Wall Street. It's to prove that disciplined, rule-based systems — built from scratch, running unattended — can produce consistent results.

How It Works

How it picks stocks

No hot tips, no gut calls. The logic is explained openly. The exact screening formula stays private.

01

The scanner

Once a month, the scanner evaluates a large universe of stocks against a set of behavioral criteria. Plenty pass. Most still don't make the final list.

02

The Boppy Board

The curated shortlist, usually thirty to fifty tickers. Every stock earns its place again each month.

03

The strategies trade

Mean Reversion, Squeeze Momentum, and Breakout each apply their own entry and exit rules to the Board during market hours.

House Rules

Every trade is shown. Losers stay on the record next to the winners.

No predictions. Past results are reported, never projected.

No guaranteed returns. Anyone promising those is selling something else.

Nobody else's money. BoppyTrader trades its own accounts only.

The why is explained. Every design decision gets a reason.
