Experienced trader and technology builder. Writes on behavioral trading patterns, CFD markets, and what 500,000+ retail accounts reveal about trader performance.
Jonas Schleypen is the CEO and co-founder of Hoc-Trade. He leads the company's product strategy, research direction, and broker partnerships, and is the principal author of Hoc-Trade's CEO-voice content on Reddit, YouTube, and the company blog.
Jonas brings over 15 years of active trading experience across forex, gold, oil, indices, and other CFD markets, managing both external and proprietary capital. That includes accounts ranging from small retail sizes to accounts in the seven figures, giving him direct experience with how behavioral patterns compound as capital scales. The initial set of algorithms that became TradeMedic came from his own Excel-based tracking of his personal trading. The patterns he found in his own data, and the dollar amounts attached to them, became the foundation of the behavioral detection logic the product runs today.
Before Hoc-Trade, Jonas worked as an M&A strategy consultant at KPMG and Alvarez & Marsal, where he advised on company valuations, restructuring, and strategic repositioning across multiple industries. That consulting background informs how Hoc-Trade approaches research methodology and how commercial partnerships with brokers are structured.
At Hoc-Trade, Jonas works most closely with Steven Tan (Head of Data) on research methodology, with the backend and frontend teams on product development, and with broker partners on integration and white-label deployments. He is the authorized representative for Hoc-Trade Technology Pte. Ltd. in public and press matters.
The 3-5-7 rule is mostly sound, but its 3% risk-per-trade cap is looser than the data supports. Accounts risking over 2% were profitable at 15.0%, against 24.5% for the under-0.5% group.
Analysis of 500,000+ trader accounts shows accounts keeping risk per trade under 0.5% were profitable at 24.5%, well above every higher-risk group. Here is what the data says about how much to risk.
Skipping a stop loss rarely feels reckless in the moment. It feels like control. TradeMedic's data across 500,000+ trader accounts shows how that single habit reshapes drawdowns, holding times, and the decisions that follow a loss.
Confidence and desperation lead to the same place: bigger position sizes. A 10% risk per trade turns a severe drawdown into a near certainty. TradeMedic™ shows how quietly overexposure builds, and what a sustainable risk ceiling looks like.
