My career began in the pensions department of the insurance industry. That is where I realised: we cannot rely on the state pension alone – anyone who wants to protect themselves from poverty in old age has to take their finances into their own hands.

When I discovered Bitcoin, I decided to invest in it for my personal retirement provision rather than in a pension insurance policy. Because I only wanted to recommend what I believed in myself, I left the insurance industry and immersed myself in cryptocurrencies and the blockchain.

Together with a programmer who had been recommended to me, I built my own copy trading company. We worked together successfully for two and a half years, but after a change of broker, the existing risk management was no longer followed. Heavy losses hit our members and me personally. From then on, I wanted to understand for myself how trading strategies work and how their risks are managed.

I learned to use market logic and order flow to understand what moves prices and how well-founded trading decisions emerge from that. This allowed me to assess trading strategies and their risks much better – a very important foundation for the rest of my journey.

One of my best friends, who has been programming for seven years, developed automated trading systems whose results impressed me month after month. That gave rise to the idea for RithmIQ: making these strategies accessible to other people too. Alongside my own understanding of the markets, my long personal connection with the developer gave me the confidence to take this step together.

My drive is to give as many people as possible the opportunity to build an additional income with automated trading.

Because the insight from my time in the insurance industry is still with me today: how we live tomorrow also depends on how we shape our financial future today.
