About The Developer

The developer of Strategic 500 and AG MechWarrior is Andrew Gibbs, of Auckland New Zealand. Andrew's path to system development is a familiar story. He read his first technical analysis book when he was 20, and has been hooked ever since, devouring as much knowledge on the subject as possible. A user of TradeStation since it was known as Omega Supercharts, Andrew has become self taught in system programming. Andrew attributes much of his knowledge to Larry Williams, whose book, "Long Term Secrets to Short Term Trading" is the basis for the majority of Andrew’s trading ideas. Andrew believes in combining a number of factors to setting up a trade so that positive expectancy trades can be isolated with consistency.

Andrew is a NZX (New Zealand Exchange) advisor and NZX Futures & Options Advisor, with an extensive educational background which spans both official schools and the school of hard knocks. On the official side, he has a bachelor degree in Business Economics and Accounting, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Applied Finance and Investment, while on the unofficial side – he has over 10 years experience in system development. Andrew worked for Goldman Sachs in one of their New Zealand offices before moving on to an equities and derivatives advisor position with Australian firm Tricom, and now runs his own stock broker business in Auckland called Strategic Capital Management.

Andrew firmly believes that any trading system needs to be looked at as a long term investment, and that systems do give investors a fighting chance of outperforming the stock market over time. But, he says most investors will only outperform if they accept that there will be losing months, and even losing years from time to time - and stick through those times.
