Pedro Penin

Founder of JPTradingCapital · Automated trading software builder since 2020

About

Pedro built JPTradingCapital after 4+ years of running automated forex strategies on his own live broker accounts. The JPTC algo has been verified live on a real broker via MyFxBook since early 2024 — public, read-only, third-party audited. He writes about prop-firm rules, walk-forward gating, drawdown control, and what actually breaks bots when real spreads hit. No theory. Real PnL screenshots, real broker fills, real lessons from blown accounts. He runs PENJORVAN - AI VENTURES, UNIPESSOAL LDA in Portugal (VAT PT519390423).
