Jonas Schleypen
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.
