Christian Gross

Have you ever looked at license plate and looked for a pattern of combining numbers in a Fibonacci Series? Or how about watching weather patterns and trying to predict if there will be some sun next month? If you have ever done that then you and I have something in common. I have always been fascinated with numbers and trying to find patterns in numbers. I am a speaker, author in the IT industry who has a strong interest in Ajax, Web Services, using the .NET, Java and Python platforms. I am interested in investing for two reasons; trying to build retirement fund, and make money. My strategy is to become my own personal little hedge fund with time telling if I succeeded. As I am a techie and having realized that the stock market is an arms race I am building, and tweaking my own automated trading system (ATS) dealing primarily in equities. My strategies are built using macro-economic, political and technical analysis techniques.
