Tom Hartman Joins The Michael Peres Podcast To Discuss Algorithmic Trading And Volatility

Miami, Florida(Hexa PR Wire–September 26, 2025)–Tom Hartman, a tech-and-marketing veteran turned algorithmic trader, joined The Michael Peres Podcast to outline how he moved from client software to building his own trading tools. The episode reviewed his early missteps, the evolution toward 90+ production algorithms, and why he favors volatility and trend clarity over low-volume chop in both bull and bear markets.

Hartman discussed macro seasonality and cycle cues—including four-year crypto cycles, September/October risk, and year-end rallies—alongside practical risk management. He explained how prop firms fit into a trader’s toolkit, emphasized position sizing and a Taleb-style barbell approach, and described using AI to rebuild off-the-shelf tools for custom workflows. The conversation closed with three takeaways for non-traders: prioritize risk frameworks, respect market cycles, and rely on systems that override emotion.
