Chief Risk Analyst / Founder

The retail trading industry is designed to feed you into a meat grinder.

Before launching The Escape Pod, I spent 8 years on the institutional side, modeling risk for family offices and analyzing the math behind retail B-Book brokerages.

Prop firms offer leverage, but they also deploy algorithmic traps (like trailing intraday drawdowns) specifically designed to exploit human psychology. I built this database to reverse-engineer their systems, so you can stop failing evaluation challenges and start extracting terminal capital.

My philosophy is simple: Clinical Truth & Absolute Control. We don't sell hope here. We sell the math required to survive the drawdown.
