About

I'm Victor Ike. I live in Milwaukee, and I'm a self-taught developer who now builds most of my software with AI coding agents. Before that, I traded forex and crypto by hand for years and wasn't profitable. I think most retail traders who lose are losing the way I did, by making decisions in the moment that a written set of rules would have handled better.

So I'm building Atlas, a system that runs my strategies and has to prove itself before it touches real money. I write about what building it with AI agents is actually like, including the mistakes.

I use AI to help write here too, the same way I use it to build Atlas. It's a tool. The stories are real, and the edits, the decisions, and the final version are mine.

I don't share signals or trade ideas. When I show Atlas results, they're labeled as backtest, paper, or live.
