Lucilla Tomasini / Profile

My name is Lucilla. I wouldn't say I like to talk about myself; I much prefer to let the facts and actions speak for themselves; however, if you click on this page, maybe you are curious to know more.

I became interested in trading in 2016; I had some savings and decided to take care of it myself rather than rely on an advisor or my bank.
I studied and made my first trades. Unfortunately, I couldn't follow the charts carefully enough, and I was not having much success.

In April 2017, I discovered StrategyQuant. In January 2018, I marketed my first portfolio of automated strategies, a type of trading that was easier to integrate into daily life.
From there on, I never stopped studying and trading. Over the years, even recently, I have spent a lot of money on automated and manual trading training. It was money well spent, even in cases where I found that it was not a suitable type of trading for me.

I took another leap forward when StrategyQuant evolved to version X, introducing many automation features for strategy generation and selection processes. I developed a fast and effective personal work protocol.
I have been involved in education. Sharing knowledge is inspiring, and I have enjoyed it a lot. I have seen students successfully start and run their trading business, and far too many others are frustrated by the lack of results. For this and other reasons, I have discontinued my educational activities.

Currently, in addition to my accounts, I manage multiple accounts for two different prop firms. Just as I write, I learn that Metaquotes has asked brokers to stop supporting prop firms. The situation still needs to be clarified.

With all these years of experience behind me, what am I doing here, selling my EAs for a little over $100?
1. I have a lot of free time and have already repainted most of my house.
2. I like to test my skills; a new business is always challenging.
3. I have a project coming up, and my son would like to do a not-so-cheap master's degree; in short, an extra income to support dreams and family doesn't hurt.
4. It can be an opportunity to meet other trading enthusiasts; it is not a topic of conversation that I can share with many people.
5. Last but not least, the trading industry generally has a mediocre reputation. I like promoting healthier trading away from gambling, easy money, or scams. Trading should be run as a business, not as a game or hobby.

I find it fascinating that trading can be a mix of art, intuition, statistics, courage, and caution. I intend to share thoughts, insights, or anything else about trading on this page; likely, I will only do so occasionally.

Let's keep in touch. Best regards.
