Michael Prescott Burney / Profile

Hello, I’m Michael P. Burney, a professional trader, trading coach, and Expert Advisor developer specializing in high-performance algorithmic trading systems. I’ve earned my stripes in the metals markets through years of real-world trading—enduring losses, setbacks, and hard lessons that ultimately shaped the disciplined approach I trade and teach today.

My journey was not an overnight success. After experiencing extended periods of drawdown and frustration, a breakthrough in my trading completely changed my trajectory. That turning point allowed me to refine my strategies, systematize my edge, and build a repeatable framework for consistent performance. From there, I expanded my work into automated trading and built a business around sharing that journey with others.

As a father of five energetic boys, my life is a balance of responsibility, chaos, and purpose. My children are my greatest motivation and the reason I strive to build systems that create freedom—both for my family and for the traders who trust my work. They inspire me daily to think sharper, build smarter, and innovate relentlessly.
