The Founder
Yuriy Matso
Product leader with 20+ years building web and mobile applications.
After 17 years of trading — from gut-feeling stock picks to penny stocks to options — I discovered that systematic, rule-based strategies were the only thing that consistently worked. I built SystemTrader to organize academic research into practical strategies and share the signals publicly.
I trade these strategies with my own capital. Every signal published on the site is one I act on myself — no ideas I don't use.
I also created FutAlgo — a portfolio of 10 NQ/ES day and swing trading systems with a backtested 87% CAGR and 6% max drawdown since 2020.
