Why Realytica?
Realytica is a form of wordplay of the words Realistic Analytics. The core idea is simple, realistic analytics instead of fables about trading (or any subject for that matter).
Especially important in a field like trading and finance. As there´s potential of adverse personal outcomes, when acting on unrealistic analytics.
Realism beats fable in every chess game there is, eventually. But in trading the “eventually” is actually a factor I´m going to get into later on as it´s a crucial one…
Is Realytica serious?
When it´s about analytics, Realytica is utmost serious, though the humour is a artefact of the creator. But also a needed side effect as analytics isn´t really a “funny” thing.
Is it you in the photos?
Actually no, but we share many features though. Both humble and on the slighter older side of life. But with that comes experience (hopefully).
Doing this for the money?
Never have, and never will I guess. I´m a natural born problem solver. I´ve always been driven by the “this is hard nut to crack”. The journey into this is my motivation.
Why markets and trading?
It´s a field which carries a lot of narratives and public interest. For the same amount of reasons as there´s people, I guess. Some seek a fast lane towards riches and Lamborghinis, some seek to broaden their pensions or simply seeking a way to a better financial position in life.
For me, it was none of the above actually. I was drawn to markets and charts due to them showing patterns, flows and geometrical shapes that my brain is really sensitive to. Which fast turned into a really difficult puzzle or game if you like, but there are few man made games created that doesn´t have a solution…
And Realytica is the result of this journey trying to solve this puzzle. Many grey hairs later… But hopefully the tools created along the way will help others make a journey into becoming more self-propelled when it comes to managing their own invested wealth. Or enter the world of trading and finance with a less overwhelmed posture.
Follow the white rabbit?
One can follow the white rabbit deep down it´s hole, in a quest for solving market behavior. But this rabbit is a tricky one, as he´s a adversarial rabbit… And with adversarial behavior comes unpredictability, deception and trickery.
He´s quite trapped though by his own design, and the design of his hole and pathways…
Finding these structures will enable us to better understand what this rabbit is up to, and this will greatly raise our own position in this game called trading.
