Market Context
Understand the condition before looking for an opportunity.
About Afshin Pourvali · Founder of APFX
The person
behind APFX.
I didn't build APFX because I believed I had found a way to predict the market.
I built it because, after years of working with markets, I became more interested in a different question:
How can a trader make better decisions when the market itself is uncertain?
01 · MY JOURNEY
From engineering discipline
to trading decisions.
My professional journey began in engineering and technical environments, where problems had to be understood, analyzed and solved systematically.
Over time, I worked across professional environments and projects, gaining experience in technical analysis, project management and decision-making. That background influenced the way I eventually approached financial markets.
I never became comfortable with the idea that a trading decision should depend simply on a feeling, a prediction or a single indicator. I wanted to understand the process behind the decision.
02 · YEARS IN THE MARKETS
A good result does not always mean a good decision.
Trading has been a long-term learning process for me. The markets reinforced something I had already learned in engineering and business:
A losing trade can be a perfectly good trade if the process was correct. A profitable trade can be a bad decision if it came from emotion, poor risk management or breaking the rules.
03 · WHY APFX?
I didn't want another collection of trading signals.
I wanted a decision-making framework — something that could be understood, tested, measured and improved.
Market Structure
Read what the market is actually doing, not what we want it to do.
Risk First
Define invalidation and risk before execution.
04 · WHAT I BELIEVE
Protect Capital
Risk comes before opportunity.
Wait for Quality
Not taking a trade can be the correct decision.
Follow the Process
Every trade should be explainable before and after execution.
