Rob Mapstead’s Summary

I have 25 years of experience developing software for the Mortgage Servicing Industry. When the company I worked for went bankrupt in October 2006, I started my own company - www.RemoraTrade.com; A low risk, high return investment software engineered strategy for trading Stock Options.

The software I've written discovers the "Big Trader (aka Shark)" trades and like the remora I tag along...

I have had success on my own and am perfectly willing to keep running this for myself, but am interested in connecting with investors, venture capitalists, and angel investors who would help me take this business to the next level.

Rob Mapstead’s Experience

Owner

RemoraTrade.com

(Investment Management industry)

October 2006 — Present (3 years 3 months)

"Adjusting to a changing environment". That defines our strategy at http://www.RemoraTrade.com

We've identified stocks that are moving based on option and stock volume increases along with price spikes. These spikes can occur prior to news, and can be a harbinger of bigger moves to come.

Option Straddle Trades are the perfect trade in VOLATILE MARKETS or in VOLATILE STOCKS. You can MINIMIZE your risk and MAXIMIZE your profits whether the price of a stock goes UP OR DOWN.

Using our RemoraTrade technology, we find profitable trades and leverage these trades by trading the stock option associated with the directional move of the stock.

Many trading systems try to predict the move in stocks. We don't believe that the move of any stock can be predicted. We do not have the ability to see the future, but we can respond & trade when a stock moves.

Just like a Remora Fish changing to the moves in the direction of the shark it's following, so we adjust to the market.
