Nexus (Christopher)
LifetimeFounder of Pattern Nexus. I research markets, macro, geopolitics, AI, history, ancient systems, and the patterns most people overlook. I’m also building Market Radar, a trading scanner designed to read pressure, risk, confirmation, and setup quality before chasing a move. Pattern Nexus is where I connect the dots between data, history, technology, and the bigger system playing out around us.
