I wasn’t always this carefree.
Before I embraced algorithmic trading, I was the textbook travel vlogger with a market addiction. Checking charts at 2 AM in Bali, setting alarms in Santorini for earnings calls, missing glacier hikes in Iceland because the S&P was tanking.
Freedom was a facade. I was chained to volatility.
That changed when I discovered algo trading.
Instead of manually watching market movements, I now let pre-built strategies run based on logic, not emotion. My trading setup became more like a flight booking:
choose destination (strategy), hit execute, and let the backend fly the plane.
Here’s what changed:
We glorify the grind. Especially in trading , the fast fingers, the adrenaline, the screen obsession. But in real wealth creation, consistency beats chaos.
You don’t win by watching charts all day.
You win by designing systems that watch for you.
While others panic sell, my algos follow the plan.
While others are glued to CNBC, I’m watching glaciers calve into the sea.
It’s not just better returns. It’s better time allocation.
I’ve hiked Patagonia, journaled in Kyoto, road-tripped through Oman’s wadis — all while my portfolio executed quietly in the background. Algo trading gave me back my mornings, my focus, and my ability to live offline without fear of missing out.
And that to me , is the real ROI.
If you’re chasing charts more than life, ask yourself:
Are you trading to get rich, or trading to be free?
For me, the richest trades are the ones I don’t have to make.
I tried multiple platforms before, but they were either too rigid, too complex, or too dependent on me babysitting every trade.
Quantl changed that.
With Quantl’s pre-built algos and no-code execution, I finally found a system that trades how I think: data-driven, disciplined, and emotion-free. It’s not just another app; it’s my travel companion in disguise.
Whether I’m off-grid or off-duty, Quantl runs the trades I designed, sticks to the plan, and frees me to focus on the journey not the market noise.
So when people ask, “Don’t you worry about your portfolio when you’re traveling?”
I smile and say, “No. Quantl worries for me.”
