A detailed professional profile documenting 7+ years of live multi-asset trading, 10,000+ hours in financial markets, and a systematic approach to risk management. The profile covers the journey from self-taught retail trading to building more structured, institutional-style frameworks, including testing over 100 indicators, backtesting more than 100 strategies, and developing proprietary dashboards and review workflows. Academic and professional development includes economics and management studies at the University of Innsbruck, CFA Program Level I candidacy, and FRM Part I candidacy. The trading philosophy, “Reading the Present, Not Predicting the Future,” is documented through public methodology, transparent process notes, and loss documentation alongside winning trades. Based in Innsbruck, Austria, Mohamad Ali is fluent in Arabic, German, English, and Kurdish.

A comprehensive wealth management article that challenges the return-first mindset dominating retail investing. The piece synthesizes concepts from seven finance authorities: Benjamin Graham’s margin of safety, Warren Buffett’s “don’t lose money” rule, Peter Lynch on behavioral traps, David Einhorn on active skepticism, Tom Hougaard on drawdown control, Mark Douglas on trading discipline, and Ori Brafman on diagnosis bias. Written for an executive audience, the article argues that capital preservation, not return-chasing, is the only sustainable path to long-term wealth. It is structured for journalists to quote directly, with each concept grounded in a specific book and real market context, including 30-year Treasury volatility, 2022 correlation shifts, and the mathematics of recovery after drawdowns.

Founded and built a financial education platform focused on capital preservation and systematic risk management for busy professionals. The platform includes a transparent Proof Hub with time-stamped methodology, verification tiers, and documented trading results, designed to help journalists, students, and professionals review claims independently. Core content includes a 12-week systematic program covering position sizing, liquidity management, drawdown control, and structured decision-making. The platform is built from 7+ years of multi-asset trading experience and supported by ongoing finance studies at the University of Innsbruck, alongside CFA and FRM preparation. It operates on an education-only basis, with a strict no-profit-promise policy and limited capacity to maintain quality.
