Overview
Pilot Traders Capital is the private, internal trading division of Pilot Traders — created to apply our proprietary systematic methodologies within a disciplined, research-driven environment.
Our philosophy is simple:
Risk is not avoided. Risk is engineered.
By combining aviation-grade discipline, quantitative modeling, and rules-based execution, Pilot Traders Capital establishes the institutional foundation behind the broader Pilot Traders technology ecosystem.

Founder Profile
David Story
David Story is an aviator, entrepreneur, and quantitative strategist whose career integrates aviation, data-driven systems, and market research into a unified operational philosophy.
Beginning in aviation — as an aircraft owner and FAA-certified charter operator — David developed a mindset governed by:
- procedural rigor
- disciplined execution
- verification loops
- risk boundaries
- continuous adaptation
These aviation principles evolved into the Pilot Traders framework: a suite of proprietary models, probability engines, dashboards, and systematic tools used across global financial markets.
Pilot Traders Capital is where this research is deployed, refined, and expanded through real-time market interaction.
Systematic Philosophy
Structure Over Instinct. Engineering Over Emotion.
Pilot Traders Capital is built around a rules-based architecture shaped by aviation methodology and quantitative design.
Our research focuses on:
- multi-timeframe trend regime analysis
- volatility-adaptive probability models
- momentum and structural behavior
- confluence-based signal engineering
- market microstructure patterns
- dynamic risk-to-reward architecture
Every component is derived from measurable cause-and-effect relationships tested across years of data, including the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Gold, Crude Oil, and global FX markets.
We do not chase prediction.
We engineer precision under uncertainty.
Research & Technology Pipeline
Where Pilot Traders Systems Are Born
Pilot Traders Capital functions as the research engine behind the entire Pilot Traders ecosystem.
Every tool and indicator offered publicly began within this private research environment:
- The Dynamic Dashboard™
- The Fusion Radar™
- The Orion PT Execution Suite
All were originally built for internal use — engineered for systematic strategies, refined through thousands of hours of testing, and validated under real-world market conditions.
Our ongoing research includes:
- probability-layer modeling
- volatility regime adaptation
- multi-component signal engines
- structural pattern clustering
- aviation-style procedural testing
This ensures that the tools available to retail traders are not theoretical concepts or repackaged indicators — but scaled-down versions of institutional systems designed, tested, and deployed inside Pilot Traders Capital.
For traders curious about the origins of our technology:
Pilot Traders Capital is the laboratory where these systems are designed, engineered, and continually evolved.
Our Approach to Systematic Trading
1. Engineering-Driven Model Development
Strategies are built through iterative testing, mechanical rule formation, and quantitative validation.
No emotion. No guesswork.
2. Aviation-Grade Risk Management
Our systems follow the structure of a cockpit environment:
• Identify
• Verify
• Execute
• Adapt only when rules allow
3. Multi-Layered Probability Architecture
We combine:
• primary/secondary/tertiary logic
• trend + momentum confirmation
• volatility filters
• structural confluence
• dynamic risk parameters
All integrated into proprietary probability engines powering our systematic strategies.
4. Continuous Research & Evolution
Pilot Traders Capital maintains an ongoing research cycle including:
• forward and out-of-sample testing
• stress testing across historical regimes
• parameter drift analysis
• volatility adaptation
• structural performance audits
This ensures our models remain resilient across changing market conditions.
