I trade the markets — and build the tools I trade with.
I’m the Laidback Trader. An active, self-directed trader across crypto, gold, indices and forex — and I code my own software to stay sharp: a full trading journal and a live market scanner.
A trader who builds his own edge.
Trading is my craft — calm, patient and data-driven. But I’m also a builder: instead of settling for off-the-shelf tools, I code the software I need myself. Everything you see here is made by me and used in my own trading, every single day.
Two tools power my routine: a trading journal that turns every trade into data I can learn from, and a live market scanner that keeps an eye on the whole market while I stay laid back.
The Laidback Trader Journal.
My own trading journal and calendar — it logs every trade, visualises my edge and keeps me honest. Live at laidbacktrader.com.
Trading calendar
Daily P&L at a glance across the month — monthly & weekly views — with quick notes on every setup.
Streak tracking
Current streak, best winning and worst losing runs — so I know when I’m hot and when to cool down.

I know exactly where I make money.
Every instrument I trade, ranked by net result and trade count — straight from my own journal. Real numbers, not marketing.
My live market scanner.
A real-time scanner I built as a MetaTrader Expert Advisor (MQL). It watches forex, indices, crypto and commodities at once — right on my chart — so I can stay laid back and still catch every move.
My own trading algo. In development
On top of trading by hand, I run my own trading algorithm. It’s never really “finished” — I keep refining and rebuilding it continuously to squeeze out the best possible results.
Consistency beats intensity.
Great trading isn’t about staring at charts all day. It’s about a clear process, honest records and the patience to let your edge play out. That’s exactly why I built my own tools — to keep that process simple and calm.
