Founder of Educofin Market Consultants

Dan Valcu is the founder of Educofin Market Consultants, a service that provides statistical services related to financial markets. After a career as an Information Technology consultant covering banks, insurance, utilities, and the United Nations system, he switched to trading markets in the late 90’s.
Starting his research in the spring of 2003, he was the first author to bring from Japan and promote in the West the heikin-ashi technique both as a visual and quantifiable instrument in 2004. As a result, heikin-ashi has today a wide base of traders and investors and is a component of many technical trading platforms. He also authored two books on heikin-ashi and its applications in trading and investing. Dan was invited to hold speeches in Italy, Russia, and the Republic of Moldova.
Dan develops and advises on trading and investing strategies based on the heikin-ashi technique combined with other visual techniques.
His articles and studies have been published in Technical Analysis for Stocks & Commodities, Trader’s Magazine, and other periodicals in the technical analysis community.
Dan served on the Board of the International Federation of Technical Analysis for six years and holds the professional designation of a Certified Financial Technician. Besides the regular services, he offers training and educational services in technical analysis and risk management.

[Man vs. Machine] vs. [Man with Machines].   A Candid Dialogue.

“In the noisy market space and diverse human decisions, new ways to circumvent both noise and cognitive biases are welcome as a Digital Salvator Mundi where there is a clear trend with the Brain being downgraded and the Machines taking over. As with the famous and expensive chef-d’oeuvre, how much is real, how much are expectations, how much are quantifiable results, and how far do we see from here?”

Searching for Signal In Noise. Random Forests and Market Forecasting.

“Market data are noisy and consistent winners is a rarity. Machine Learning was brought to (magically, for many) reveal trends and patterns in this immense condensation of human behavior. Despite the many algorithms and a wider practicing audience, reliable results are still to be desired. Do Random Forests bring more light? Plus, some practical conclusions from a challenging trip.”
