About Jason Riley

I am on a deliberate path to financial entrepreneurship, specializing in the analytical discipline of trading financial markets (Forex & equities). My goal is to transition from trading personal capital to managing proprietary funds, grounded in rigorous risk management and systematic strategyMy journey is unconventional by design. After realizing traditional customer-facing roles weren\'t the right fit, I made a strategic choice: to drive full-time with Lyft. This decision provides the essential flexibility and capital runway to dedicate significant hours daily to market analysis, strategy back-testing, and continuous financial education. My background in customer service, conversely, honed my patience, emotional regulation, and understanding of human bias—attributes I now apply directly to the psychological challenges of trading.\"Currently, I am deeply immersed in: developing and refining quantitative trading models, studying macroeconomic catalysts, and building a track record of disciplined execution. I am actively seeking to connect with experienced traders, mentors in the fintech/hedge fund space, and individuals passionate about market microstructure and entrepreneurial finance.Let\'s connect if you value resilience, self-directed learning, and strategic pivots
