The dream of trading looks like a chart, a coffee, and a decisive click. The reality of professional trading looks like a research lab. Matteo experienced that shock firsthand when he arrived on an institutional trading desk and discovered that nothing he learned from retail education — indicators, trendlines, RSI, chart patterns — existed on a real trading floor.
Matteo spent seven years as a market maker at Nordea Markets, the largest bank in the Nordic region, providing liquidity to more than 10 million clients. His job wasn't watching charts. It was building, testing, and running the automated systems that did the actual trading. After leaving the bank, he founded SQR Capital, a quantitative hedge fund where he serves as Chief Investment Officer, automating every single one of his trading strategies.
What sets Matteo apart is that he teaches the process, not a strategy to copy. The complete institutional workflow from idea generation to statistical validation through backtesting, Monte Carlo simulation, and overfitting detection — all before a single euro of real capital ever goes live.
On World Class Edge, Matteo delivers the institutional approach across six modules — from what actually happens inside banks and hedge funds to building, testing, validating, automating, and monitoring your own strategies at home.
