An engineer who believes nothing until it is measured

I came to trading more than six years ago and it hooked me the way it hooks almost everyone: a market that moves every second, rules that look simple, and the feeling that the answer is one course away.

So I went looking for it. I went through different methodologies and different mentors. Some were real: people who actually traded and taught me things I still use. Others were a lot more fictional: well-lit shop windows, screenshots of the trades that worked, results without a sample and profits without context.

I had good stretches and not-so-good stretches. And over time I understood something that made me very uncomfortable: I almost never knew why one or the other had happened.

And I hit rock bottom. The details do not matter: anyone who has spent a few years in this knows how it feels when the method you trusted stops working, the account does not forgive, and you discover you never had a way of knowing whether it was evidence or pure narrative.

There, at the lowest point, the engineer spoke up again. I stopped asking which method to follow and started asking a different question: what do the numbers really say, without the shop window?

Once I started measuring seriously, four ideas were left that I no longer negotiate:

From that low point came the mission that guides everything I do today: to show and make transparent the numbers that circulate in this industry. The rules repeated in courses and on social media, the figures quoted without a source, the percentages nobody bothers to measure. Measure them, publish them with their sample, and also say when they do not hold.

Not to tell anyone what to do, but so that every trader has as much information as possible before deciding on their own. The information I lacked for years.

Like any engineer, when a tool is missing, I build it. Perfiltrade brings together in one place what I needed and could not find: statistical reports on 30 futures with history from 2010 for most of them, the session's Market Profile reading, weekly positioning, a Journal to log what you do and a Lab to measure defined setups and compare your own history against chance.

Every figure comes with its sample and its date range. When the sample is small, we say so. When something we measured did not work, we publish that too. A platform that hides its limits would do exactly what I learned to avoid.

We do not sell signals, we do not promise returns and we do not manage anyone's money. Trading futures carries a risk of loss, and historical frequencies describe what happened; they do not guarantee what will happen. You decide; we put the evidence on the table.
