About TradeRounds

TradeRounds is an educational platform dedicated to explaining how markets work and how investors think about risk, trends, and market structure.

The site focuses on helping readers understand why markets behave the way they do across different environments, using clear language and historically grounded frameworks rather than predictions or product recommendations.


Our Approach

Financial markets are complex systems shaped by human behavior, liquidity, and changing economic conditions. Much of investor underperformance stems from emotional decision-making, narrative chasing, and a lack of structured risk awareness.

TradeRounds emphasizes:

  • Education over prediction

  • Process over outcomes

  • Risk awareness over return chasing

The goal is to build understanding, not to forecast prices.


Educational Content

TradeRounds publishes educational material that includes:

  • Explanations of market cycles and trend behavior

  • Conceptual discussions of momentum, trend following, and risk management

  • Historical and theoretical frameworks used by market participants

  • Reviews and summaries of existing research and evidence in finance

  • Educational video products covering classical market theories and methodologies (including Wyckoff-inspired concepts)

All content is presented for general educational purposes only.


Research Context

Some topics discussed on TradeRounds intersect with active areas of academic and practitioner research in finance.

When formal empirical research, backtesting, or statistical analysis is conducted, it is documented separately in working papers or academic manuscripts and is not presented as original research on this website.


What TradeRounds Is Not

TradeRounds does not provide:

  • Investment advice

  • Buy or sell recommendations

  • Portfolio allocations

  • Performance claims or guarantees

The site does not tailor content to individual financial circumstances.
