In this interview, Kardex Trader sits down with 20‑year‑old futures champion Luca Bruni to unpack the statistical and automated trading model that delivered over 200% returns in nine months on a prop‑firm platform. Bruni contrasts his early discretionary and mechanical approaches with his current statistical trading methodology, emphasizing a 60% win‑rate combined with a 1:4 risk‑reward ratio as the core profitability indicator. He explains how he “puts a strategy on steroids” by layering advanced risk modeling and automation, and discusses the controversial edge his model provides by exploiting the behavior of losing traders. The conversation highlights the step‑by‑step process of building, testing, and deploying an automated prop‑firm strategy, and introduces the most advanced risk model that Bruni claims “breaks people’s brains.”
