Why I built Maya
Maya is the result of 20 years spent mastering two of the hardest skills on earth: trading and coding.
In 2019, I released my first book on options trading. It introduced a mechanical, rules-based system that strips emotion out of every decision. The book became an Amazon bestseller for three years running, and since then I've mentored more than 6,000 traders who've used the same blueprint to find consistency.
But here's what I learned coaching thousands of traders: a rules-based system only works when followed with discipline. Skipping a stop-loss. Holding a winner too long. Bending "just one" rule. Those small breaks compound into underperformance, fast.
The final piece of the puzzle? Full automation. Because when it comes to following rules perfectly, nothing beats a computer.
That's where Maya comes in. She's a fully automated trading algorithm that executes my complete system, exactly as I wrote it. Every setup, every exit, every rule, followed with machine precision. She sends real-time alerts on every entry and exit, so you can stop babysitting trades and start following a system that actually works.
Maya isn't designed to chase. She waits, follows the rules, and only strikes when conditions are right. That's not a limitation. That's the edge.
The principles Maya is built on
Rules over instincts
Your gut is wrong more often than you think. A written rule, applied without exception, will outperform a "feel" trade nine times out of ten.
Computers don't get scared
Algorithms cut losses without flinching and let winners run without panic. Discipline is not a personality trait. It's a process you can outsource.
If you can't backtest it, you don't have a system
Every rule in Maya can be tested on years of historical data. If a rule cannot survive scrutiny, it does not belong in the algorithm.
Transparency builds trust
Every Maya trade is published in real time. Every backtest is open for scrutiny. No black boxes, no cherry-picked results.
Defense wins the long game
One avoided blowup is worth ten home runs. Maya's loss-management rules (PNR exits, 50% stops, MACD triggers) exist because survival compounds.
Trading should give you your time back
If your "system" requires you to stare at charts all day, it isn't a system. Maya runs while you live your life.
Mean Reversion Trading
Using Options Spreads and Technical Analysis
9 exit rules. Zero exceptions.
Maya is a hybrid mean reversion plus trend-following algorithm with rock-solid trade management. Every position is governed by these nine exit rules, applied automatically without emotion.
Winner Lock-In (94% ROI)
When a spread reaches 94% of max ROI, Maya locks in the win immediately. No greed, no waiting for the last 6%.
50% Loss Near Expiry
If a position is down 50% with fewer than 15 days to expiration, Maya exits. Time decay turns small losses into total losses fast.
Hard Stop Loss (-65%)
The absolute floor. Maya never lets a single trade lose more than 65% of risked capital. One blowup ruins ten winners.
PNR Violation
The Point of No Return is the price level past which math says recovery is unlikely. Maya exits before the trade gets buried.
Expiry Week Exit
Maya closes positions on Wednesday of expiration week to avoid pin risk and assignment. No surprises on Friday.
QQQ MACD Trend Break
When the broader market QQQ MACD turns negative and price drops below the long strike, Maya exits. Don't fight a falling tide.
MACD Reversal + Price Break
A stock-specific MACD reversal combined with a key price break is a confirmed trend change. Maya gets out before the slide.
Earnings Within 7 Days
Earnings are a coin flip. Maya closes any position with earnings within 7 days, full stop. No exceptions.
Dividend Risk
Ex-dividend dates can trigger early assignment on short legs. Maya exits to avoid getting called away unexpectedly.
