Raffi started trading in 2000, along the way writing for Seeking Alpha as Prudent Research. By 2014, it was clear that advanced automation was the only way forward. He scoured the internet for a strategy he could truly fall in love with. When none existed, he engineered his own in 2015. Over the years since, he has continuously refined the architecture, adaptability, and precision of his multi-system algorithmic suite. At the core of his work is a firm belief in stress-free trading, because emotional decisions rooted in stress are the number one reason most traders fail. Raffi approaches futures day trading the same way people approach long-term investing: once your capital is deployed, you shouldn’t have to obsess over it. Your capital simply works for you in the background, giving you back the time to focus on the things you truly enjoy.

Outside the markets, Raffi enjoys gardening and spending time with his family in Los Angeles, where he continues developing trading systems built around clarity, discipline, adaptability, and precision.
