Built on rules you can trust.

Written rules

Every entry and exit follows a rule that was written down before it was used. No hunches, no chasing, no panic selling.

No repainting

Many retail indicators quietly redraw their signals so the past always looks perfect. O8EN Trading never does. A marker stays exactly where it appeared, winners and losers alike.

Safety built in

Every stock buy comes with a stop and a target. The automated system adds daily loss limits and a kill switch. You see the risk before you act.

A plan, not a bet.

The three systems are built to work together: a steady foundation that compounds through every kind of market, an accelerator that adds fast growth, and a stock layer for your best ideas. The Wealth plan shows how they fit, with 18 years of history and a calculator you can try with your own numbers.

Owen, founder of O8EN Trading, standing in a chapel

Built by an engineer, not a guru.

Hi, I’m Owen. I’m pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engineering with an extended major in Artificial Intelligence at HKUST, and I’m from Hong Kong. I approach the market the way an engineer approaches any hard problem: define it precisely, measure everything, and trust the evidence over the story.

I post every day on Instagram: the day’s stock signals and how earlier ones turned out.

Trade with logic, not emotion.

Historical simulation. O8Auto and O8Invest figures apply each system’s written rules to historical market data with modelled trading costs. They are not the result of trading real money, and results from live trading will differ. O8Auto covers 25 September 2006 to 16 October 2026: its rules were built on data up to 31 December 2015, so 2016 onward are years it had never seen. O8Invest covers 1976 to 25 September 2026, using long-history market data for the years before today’s funds existed, and 2008 to 2026 with today’s funds. QQQ, the S&P 500 and US stocks cover the same days. 2026 is a part year.

Sharpe ratio is annual return divided by annual volatility, with no risk-free rate subtracted. Past results do not predict future returns. See Disclosures and risk.
