Ed Barsano is a retired Microsoft software development engineer and world-wide operations manager. At Microsoft, Ed played key roles implementing products and systems that changed the way people access and use information in their daily lives. After retiring from Microsoft with many Microsoft stock options, Ed developed an affinity for stock market trading. Experiencing the limitations of traditional trading platforms and recognizing the impact of advancing technology on stock market trading, Ed put his vast knowledge to work and developed the industry’s first autonomous and truly robotic stock trading app. Designed for the individual home investor to compete with Wall Street’s high speed computers, the trading app gives the individual investor the leg up by taking profits out of volatile markets repeatedly and consistently. Ed’s robotic technology was profiled in Barron’s and used to automate Jim Cramer’s Actions Alert Plus! for TheStreet.com. After selling his company, Ed delivered yet again an innovative trading app changing the lives of investors throughout the world. Believing that stock market wealth should be accessible to everyone, Ed released a free and completely web based version of the autonomous platform. Ed hopes to share how modern autonomous trading apps can help investors use the market volatility to their advantage and boost their profits potential.
