Why ChartThread exists
I built it for my own session first
I have spent close to two decades building software, and in one form or another most
of it came down to mathematical modelling. Later I spent several years inside banking,
as Director of Payments and a member of the extended management board at the largest retail bank in my market, which is where I learned how much of finance is
plumbing and how little of it is intuition.
Since 2020 my own work has been trading: crypto, and the inefficiencies that markets
leave lying around. My master's thesis was on arbitrage models in decentralized
exchanges built on AMMs, and I am now doing PhD research on quant trading systems and
the identification of market inefficiencies. ChartThread is the first place that
research turned into something other people can use.
It started as research in late 2022. By early 2023 the research had become algorithms,
and the algorithms became a tool I used every day: first alone, then inside a
small circle, then with co-founders who joined once it was clear this was a product
and not a side project. It opened to the public in January 2026.
I still trade on it. That is the one product requirement I have never had to write
down: if the platform is not good enough to prepare my own session, it is not good
enough to show you. The more traders use it and tell us where it is wrong, the sharper the algorithm gets, which is why early access is free and the only thing we ask
for is your feedback.
