    Episode 9. Turning FX Into Real Assets

    Episode 9 explores how trading becomes wealth — not through compounding alone, but through conversion.Gary shares how Blackwave profits were withdrawn, protected, and turned into real-world assets, including Portugal properties and a structured Airbnb income stream.

    Episode 8 — The Philosophy of Drawdown: Fear, Trust & Structure

    Gary breaks down why traders and clients experience drawdown so differently, why fear amplifies during prolonged dips, and how structure — not emotion — is what ultimately carries a system through difficult periods. He explains how Blackwave’s dual-engine architecture reshaped the psychology of drawdown, turning it from a threat into a structural cost of doing business, and how systems behave with a discipline humans cannot replicate. This episode is about fear, trust, and the difference between reacting to drawdown and understanding it. More information: https://www.blackwave-forextrader.com

    Episode 7. The H4 Guardian: The Hedge & The Shield

    Episode 7 introduces the H4 Guardian Engine — the protective half of the Blackwave system and the missing architectural pillar that turns a good strategy into a resilient one.Gary explains how hedging, once a manual and instinctive process, evolved into a fully independent engine with its own spacing, its own logic, and its own Take Profit. Designed to activate only during drawdown, the Guardian builds equity in difficult market conditions and then shuts itself off gracefully when its mission is complete. This episode reveals how Blackwave became a true dual-engine system:Intraday earns.H4 protects.Together, they redefine resilience. Find out more: https://www.blackwave-forextrader.com

    Episode 6. The Work Horse Is Born

    Episode 6 introduces the Intraday Engine — the Workhorse at the centre of the Blackwave system.Gary explains how AI translated seven years of manual logic into code: the spacing, the position sizing, and the disciplined grid philosophy that had driven Blackwave’s growth since 2015. With automation came refinement: the grid moved from 12 positions to 10, the Take Profit became dynamic through ATR, and the engine began to “breathe” with market volatility instead of reacting to it. Intraday doesn’t protect — it earns.It’s the engine designed for structure, consistency, and daily execution.Episode 6 is the story of how discipline became architecture.

    Episode 5. The Missing Pillar

    Episode 5 tells the story of how AI became the turning point in Blackwave’s evolution.Not by replacing the strategy, and not by “fixing” anything—but by completing it.Gary explains how the original system was built on two pillars for years: adaptive position sizing and a disciplined grid. What AI revealed was the missing third leg of the chair: a dedicated, independent hedging architecture that had never existed in the manual era. AI allowed Blackwave to move from human execution to machine precision, and from a single-engine approach to a true dual-engine system. This is the moment where Blackwave stopped being a manual methodology and became a complete, automated architecture built for both profit and protection.

    Episode 4. Between the Crash and the Comeback

    Gary describes trying to rebuild the old system, testing wider spacing, fewer positions, faster hedging, slower hedging, and every variation he could think of. But every attempt ran into the same truth: the strategy wasn’t broken, the human execution was. This episode dives into the exhaustion, the frustration, the quiet moments of doubt, and the reality that no amount of discipline could overcome the limits of manual trading. Meanwhile, in the background, something else was rising — artificial intelligence — slowly becoming the tool that would reshape Blackwave’s future. Episode 4 is the bridge between what Blackwave was and what it would become. More Information: https://www.blackwave-forextrader.com

    Episode 3 - The Sterling Crash

    Episode 3 tells the story of the Sterling Crash of September 2022 — the moment that exposed the human limits of manual trading.Long GBPCHF as the UK government triggered market chaos, Gary describes the weekend tension, the quiet Sunday open, and the sudden collapse that followed. We hear the pressure from clients, the instinct to stay calm, the “bomb disposal expert” reputation, and the split-second volatility that no human trader could react to in time. This episode captures the shock, the losses, the next-morning breakdown, and the painful reality that even a seven-year track record can be undone by one political decision. It’s the turning point that sets the stage for the three-year rebuild and the eventual shift toward automation. Find Out More: https://www.blackwave-forextrader.com
