About
I founded Magnum Opus Capital in 2025.
It trades US equities with rules-based strategies and runs on systems I built in-house. Models flag candidates; the rules and risk limits decide what actually trades, and every order routes through a single risk-gated path with one canonical record of what happened. I've spent more than twenty years building discretionary trading into something I can run systematically and still understand.
I also run Young Money Investments, a systematic futures trading community.
How the fund trades
Models flag candidates; deterministic rules and risk limits decide what trades.
Rules-based strategies define when and how the fund acts, with pre-trade limits for exposure, correlation, and strategy health. The logic is explicit and auditable.
Every order routes through a single risk-gated path and is written to one canonical record. Nothing reaches the market without clearing the risk controls first.
I build and maintain the software layer in-house so that when results drift from what a strategy expected, I can read every line and find which part is responsible. AIR routing system — provisional patent filed.
Investment philosophy
Test many ideas, deploy a few
Rules-based strategies are the backbone of every portfolio I run. They are testable, repeatable, and built for a specific set of market conditions rather than expected to work everywhere. I test a lot of ideas and deploy only the ones where the statistical edge is measured and holds up.
Once a strategy is live, its performance is measured against the range a healthy version should stay inside. When conditions move outside what a strategy was built for, the system cuts exposure or stands it down and waits for those conditions to return.
