From a Father’s Script to a Quantitative Trading Engine
The story behind the Decision Support System: DCMM
The Founder: Vladi
- I am Vladi — an engineer by education and mindset, the head of a family with four children, and a man who knows the cost of a restart.
- Five years ago, I was a successful entrepreneur. I walked away from it all when I chose to leave my country because I could no longer agree with the system. I traded stability for a clear conscience and moved my family to Italy to start from absolute zero.
The Cost of Choice
- Before migrating to Italy, I spent five years as an entrepreneur, holding an 80% stake in a specialized construction equipment company. After I left, the business was looted and collapsed.
- I know the true value of money because I’ve seen how years of hard work can vanish in an instant when you choose to stay true to your principles.
Man vs. System
- Rebuilding life in Europe was not easy. For all my love of Italy and its people, I faced the cold wall of compliance. Even opening a bank account became a battle, despite living here for several years.
- This friction with bureaucracy taught me one vital lesson: the system doesn’t care about you. To survive and protect your capital, you need your own tools.
The Genesis of #DCMM: It Started with a Test
- DCMM didn’t begin with capital. It began with necessity.
- It started when my eldest daughter took a career aptitude test and scored 100/100 in Analytics. I wanted to find a proper path for her. An Italian trader friend suggested she help him with a routine task: finding specific 3-day drop cycles on charts.
- I looked at the task and realized: This is a job for code, not a person.
- I built a script for her, but I started using it myself. My friend warned me: “Don’t get into trading, you’ll lose money.” He was right — at first, I burned myself. But instead of quitting, I built a mathematical engine that doesn’t rely on luck.
The Turning Point: Hard Data over AI Hype
- I felt the “wrongness” of trying to look like a professional on X (Twitter) by using AI-generated comments. I realized that instead of faking expertise, I had to build it from the ground up.
- I moved away from “selling dreams” to delivering hard data.
The Mission: Time is Currency
- I don’t hide behind fake “Lambo” photos or inflated promises. I am rebuilding my capital step by step, using DCMM every single day.
- I don’t have 8 hours to waste in front of a monitor; I have a family to lead. I created DCMM for people like me: for those who need cold statistical clarity in 15 minutes, so they can devote the rest of their time to what truly matters.
Where DCMM is built. No multiple screens, no Bloomberg terminal. Just math and coffee.

Beyond the Code: The Second-Hand Galaxy
My love for Sci-Fi began in the late 1980s in the Soviet Union. I was 8 years old when I first saw Star Wars on a bootleg, grainy VHS tape. Back then, distributing “censored” Western films was a crime, so the underground translators often disguised their voices.
That day, my world changed forever.
Today, in my rare free hours, I develop “The Second-Hand Galaxy” — a sci-fi setting where FTL (Faster-Than-Light) technology is no longer understood, only scavenged and maintained. It is a world of broken supply chains, not dark gods.
I realize I’m not the first on this path, but I wanted to share this part of me. In many ways, this concept mirrors the trading market: you cannot invent new laws of physics. You can only look for patterns among the wreckage of data and patch the holes in your strategy.
