Technical & Quantitative Analysis · Since 1996

Seeing solutions others cannot see.

Founder and CEO of Optuma. Teaching the full CMT curriculum since 2016. I write, speak, and build the tools that put quantitative process into the technical analyst's workflow, and into professional funds management. The quant ranks and reasons. The manager still makes the call.

“I've had the privilege of knowing Mathew for 10 years now, and not just as the CEO of my favorite technical analysis software, but as a visionary, a teacher, and one of the most dynamic speakers I've ever seen take the stage. He's one of those rare minds who doesn't just understand technical analysis.”
