The Journey
SQBPro was forged from 20 years of trading experience and one devastating account blow-up that taught me more than any string of winners ever could.
That loss was the turning point. I stopped chasing emotions and started building a real system. I studied how institutions actually move markets, engineered compression zone detection logic, and created a framework rooted in statistical probability. Not prediction. Not hope.
The result is a trading system that has been rigorously validated across three full years of historical data (2023–2025), delivering a consistent 70% win rate and 8,712 pips.
Now, in 2026, it's running live on a $15,000 real-money account with complete transparency. Every trade, every rule followed, every result posted publicly within 24 hours.
No hype. No secrets. Just proof, discipline, and systematic execution.
This is the journey from emotional trader to professional system builder. You're welcome to follow it every step of the way.
The Evolution
-
2004-2015: The Retail Years
Emotional trading, revenge trading, oscillator chasing. I spent years in forums searching for the "perfect indicator" or system. Wasted 6 years on EAs and managed accounts promising automatic money. Blown accounts, failed predictions, chasing garbage instead of understanding price. That was the trap.
-
2015-2016: The Shift
Said "screw it" and stopped chasing indicators. Started learning price action. Realized I didn't need indicators to read price. But I still didn't have a systematic approach—just discretionary price reading.
-
2016: The Blow-Up
Trading futures. Was up thousands. Got cocky and impatient. No systematic approach, just emotion and ego. Lost 40% of the account in 3 weeks through revenge trading and emotional override. That's when everything changed. Stepped away. Started researching. This was the turning point.
-
2016-2020: Walking Away
Stepped back from trading. Studied institutional market behavior from the sidelines. Worked on capital preservation and risk management principles. No trading during this period.
-
2020-2025: Building SQB
Learned institutional thinking. Understood how institutions actually move price through compression zones. Built SQB compression zone detection system. Backtested across 2023-2025 data. Achieved 70% win rate with 8,712 pips over 3 years.
-
2026-Present: Full Transparency
Launched $15K live account January 5, 2026. Every trade posted publicly within 24 hours. Building community of systematic traders. All signals traded. Real results only.

Our Philosophy
SQBPro is built on a single principle: systematic execution outperforms emotional decision-making over time.
🎯 Systematic
Every trade is executed according to predefined rules. No discretionary overrides. No emotional intervention.
📊 Institutional
Designed around professional risk management principles. Capital preservation and drawdown control take precedence over return maximization.
🔍 Transparent
All trades are disclosed publicly, including both wins and losses. No selective reporting. No performance smoothing.
📈 Realistic
Performance is evaluated through expectancy and drawdown, not short-term returns or marketing-driven metrics.
What We've Built
What I Trade
Market: Forex (EURUSD)
Timeframe: 4-hour (H4) compression zones validated against daily (D1)
Platform: MetaTrader 5 (Forex.com raw spreads, VIP account)
Style: Swing trading (holdings: days to months)
Frequency: ~21 trades per year
Compression Zone Detection
That's it. That's the system. Price consolidates, then breaks out with momentum. We identify compression, we trade the breakout. No pattern names, no indicator soup, no discretionary filtering. Compression zone breakout = mechanical entry.
Signal Grading System
Not all compression breakouts are equal. Momentum magnitude determines signal strength. We trade all signals but understand the quality differences.
Risk Management Framework
1% risk per trade. ATR-based stops. Position size that adjusts to volatility. This framework ensures survival through drawdowns and compounds profits over years.
Holding Period
Trades hold as long as the compression breakout structure remains intact. Some close in days. The big winners—600+ pips—can run for months. We don't exit early, we exit when the structure breaks.
Multi-Timeframe Filters
H4 compression breakouts validated against D1 structure. When multiple timeframes align, probability increases. When they conflict, we wait. Everything else is noise.
What We're Not
SQBPro is not a get-rich-quick scheme. We don't promise 10% monthly returns. We don't sell signals without teaching you how to use them. We don't hide losing trades.
SQBPro is NOT:
- ❌ A magic indicator that wins every trade
- ❌ A system for traders without discipline
- ❌ A promise to make you wealthy in 3 months
- ❌ A competing portfolio to professional hedge funds
- ❌ A shortcut for traders who won't study the market
SQBPro IS:
- ✅ A proven systematic approach to compression breakouts
- ✅ A framework for disciplined, rule-based trading
- ✅ Based on 70% historical win rate (2023-2025 backtest)
- ✅ Built for serious traders with institutional mindset
- ✅ 100% transparent live trading account
Our Mission
To prove that systematic trading works. To show traders that emotional override, revenge trading, and prediction are the causes of losses—not lack of skill.
To build a community of traders who understand that consistency compounds, that discipline is an edge, and that boring trading beats exciting trading.
To demonstrate that institutional mindset, mechanical execution, and proper risk management matter more than trading sophistication or market prediction.
