About Me

Behind Trading Lazarus is Jose, an independent Spanish trader based in Madrid.

My education in the financial markets has been shaped by experienced, old-school professional traders, whose influence has defined my approach to trading: observing price action, developing independent judgment, and maintaining rigorous discipline in decision-making.

I focus on intraday trading, using a manual, rule-based approach supported by a clearly defined methodology.

My Trading Philosophy

Markets are not to be predicted. They are to be managed.

I view trading as the management of probabilities and risk, rather than an exercise in prediction.

Financial markets are inherently uncertain environments. For this reason, I believe it is essential to follow a consistent methodology, accept losses as a natural part of trading, and prevent emotions from influencing decisions.

My approach is built on three core principles:

Method: Trading only when the conditions defined by the strategy are met.

Discipline: Maintaining consistency in execution, regardless of the outcome of any individual trade.

Risk management: Prioritizing exposure control and capital preservation over the pursuit of immediate returns.

My Trading Approach

I specialize in intraday trend trading in stock market indices, with a particular focus on directional price movements that emerge during the opening sessions of major financial markets.

I use a proprietary methodology called El Canal Lazarus, designed to identify momentum-driven price movements that may develop into sustained trends, through technical analysis of price action and its behavior relative to specific statistical benchmarks.

My trading is executed manually, following a structured set of rules that define entry conditions, trade management, and exit criteria.

My goal is to execute these rules consistently, without attempting to anticipate every market movement.

Track Record and Transparency

As part of my trading activity, I maintain a trading strategy linked to Darwinex, a platform that provides access to performance statistics and risk metrics for strategies developed by independent traders.

The publicly available information on my DARWIN provides an external reference for assessing the historical performance and risk characteristics of my trading activity.
