The Story Behind Maya

Maya is the result of 20 years spent mastering two of the hardest skills on earth - trading and coding.

Back in 2019, I released my first book on options trading, introducing a powerful concept: a mechanical, rules-based trading system that removes emotion from the equation. That book became a bestseller for three years straight, and since then, I've mentored over 6,000 traders who've used my blueprint to trade with consistency and confidence.

"The final piece of the puzzle? Full automation. Because when it comes to following rules perfectly - nothing beats a computer."

Enter Maya - a fully automated trading algorithm that executes my complete system, just as I wrote it. Every setup, every exit, every rule - followed with machine precision. Maya sends real-time alerts on every entry and exit, so you can stop babysitting your trades and start following a system that works.

Why Automate Your Trading?

Having coached over 6,000 traders, I've learned a lot about the struggles traders face. A particular strategy may not fit their goals, others lack time, and a significant number simply struggle to stick to the rules.

Here's the harsh truth: a rules-based trading system only works when followed with discipline. Skipping steps like managing losers or prematurely exiting winners often leads to underperformance. This is where algorithmic trading becomes a game-changer.

The biggest limitation of discretionary trading is that it cannot be backtested or objectively proven. Since the rules are not fixed, you can't apply them to historical data to validate performance. For traders seeking reliability and accountability, the lack of testable results is a dealbreaker.

What Makes Maya Different

Maya is a trend-following algorithm with rock-solid trade management rules:

PNR Exits

Closes trades when Point of No Return violation occurs - catches losers early before they become disasters

50% Loss Rule

Every winner doubles your money, every loser is cut at 50% loss - yielding positive expectancy

Expiration Management

Automatically closes trades on Wednesday of expiration week to avoid assignment risk

MACD Triggers

Exits when stock or QQQ MACD signals trend break - protecting gains from reversals

Maya isn't here to chase trades. She's built to wait, follow the rules, and only strike when conditions are right. That's not a bug - that's the edge.

Trust Through Transparency

How do you prove that an algorithm works? Backtesting. Modern technology enables traders to test their systems on years of historical market data, recreating market conditions tick by tick, day by day.

We've spent countless hours running backtest after backtest, fine-tuning every rule and parameter. The results? Exposed for all to see. You can scrutinize the trades, analyze the performance, and decide for yourself.

Trust isn't built overnight, but when you see the level of thought, testing, and transparency behind Maya, you'll understand why traders are choosing to let her manage their entries and exits.
