Why I Built Profit-Signals.com

A trader's journey from analysis paralysis to confident trading decisions.

Picture this: You bought TSLA yesterday after it dropped 8%.

Today, you’ve already checked the quotes twelve times, and it’s only 2 PM.

Your heart skips a beat every time you refresh — up $3, down $5, up $2.

You’re wondering if you just threw your money into a black hole.

Sound familiar?

That was me for years.

Trading on financial markets has always attracted me, but I was always afraid to make trades.

After all, there are tens of thousands of possibilities! On the U.S. stock market alone, there are over 28,000 tickers! And that’s not even counting FOREX and crypto.

People will say, “Just start doing it and it will work out.”

But when I “just act,” I feel terrible.

The Emotional Torture of Trading Without a System

First, I get analysis paralysis.

If I can’t explain to myself why I’m buying exactly this exactly now, then it’s tough for me to make a decision, and I simply don’t make one.

But things are the worst of all when I force myself, and make a decision based on a system whose effectiveness is questionable.

For example, my broker recommends buying AAPL now, or if TSLA stock suddenly drops sharply, everyone writes that it’s a ‘BUY’.

When I buy, in this case, the real nightmare begins.

Every day, I check the quotes ten times.

My purchase haunts me like a ghost:

• Did I do the right thing?
• When should I exit?
• The profit is already +5% — is it time?
• Or should I wait?
• What if it opens down tomorrow?

These thoughts would consume me. I’d lose sleep, check my phone during meetings, and refresh my portfolio app obsessively. All these emotions prevented me from thinking clearly, so it’s no surprise that I lost again and again.

The Breakthrough Moment

And then I realized: I need MY own trading decision system.

Not my broker’s recommendations. Not Reddit’s latest hype. Not some guru’s “hot tip.”

MY system.

It should answer questions like: “Why, out of more than 28,000 U.S. stock market tickers, should I buy MOH TODAY?” (This is an example, not trading advice for today, by the way)

My system should give me crystal-clear, data-driven answers to all questions:

• Why, out of 28,000 possibilities for today, is MOH my best choice?
• Why, out of dozens of options, is the best Stop Loss for MOH 6%?
• Why, out of dozens of options, is the best Take Profit for MOH 8%?
• Why is the optimal entry price for MOH today $240?

The answers to these questions must be backed by data, so I can trust them.

Of course, for those of us who can’t see the future, we have to rely on data obtained through statistical analysis of the past (hello, technical indicators and probability theory).

Why “Imperfect” Models Still Work And although it’s already well known that indicators are not a reliable predictor of future market behavior, this doesn’t mean that models based on indicators are useless.

If you can develop a model that wins more than it loses, then using it makes sense… Until it stops working. :)

This happens with all models. All models are imperfect, but this doesn’t mean that modeling is pointless. The main problem is being able to fail fast.

I need to quickly test whether my ‘brilliant’ new strategy is valid statistically, or if it’s just another expensive lesson waiting to happen.

Most traders learn this the hard way: they risk real money on untested ideas, then watch their account shrink while they figure out what went wrong.

Building My Solution

To solve this, I built a rapid trading strategy development environment and called it profit-signals.com.

I’ve been developing trading strategies with it since September 2024. This platform scans all tickers that make up 90% of the U.S. stock market capitalization for me every day.

Since September, it has found about 120 entry opportunities for me based on the conditions I developed with extensive backtesting. I haven’t spent a minute since then on daily market scanning.

Then I do my final judgment about the entry.

The Results Speak for Themselves

My current win rate is 60%, and my capital growth is +39% annually.

I spend my time on developing new strategies and improving existing ones. Instead of being paralyzed by endless possibilities, I focus on what worked before, so it has a chance to work in the future.

The best part? I’m confident now when I make a trading decision, because I own it.

No more checking my portfolio ten times a day.

No fear of a missing opportunity.
