For Gabriel Rojas, an electrical engineer from Chile, it all started with a very practical goal: gradually reducing the workload of his day-to-day engineering activities so he could have more time for his personal life. While exploring possible alternatives, Gabriel became interested in trading. But many of the offers he found online seemed "too good to be true." He was looking for something different: an approach that didn't promise quick and easy results, but instead required study, commitment, and the gradual development of knowledge and experience. That's how his journey with our Academy began. Starting from zero, Gabriel now says he feels much more confident about what he's doing and, most importantly, that he has gained the foundational knowledge and tools he needs to continue building his experience in automated trading. His journey is still a work in progress, and one of the challenges he discusses in the interview involves an important question for anyone working with trading systems: how can you tell whether a system is actually performing well or not? In this interview, recorded during the Unger Academy Summit Live, Gabriel talks about how he got into automated trading, the challenges he's facing, and the importance of being able to connect with traders from different backgrounds and experience levels.
