Trading journey since 2014
Founder Daniel Hancox began his trading journey in 2014 with a strong interest in financial markets and investing. Over the years, that interest developed into a deep commitment to understanding market structure, technical analysis, trading psychology and sustainable wealth creation through strategic investing.
Trading philosophy
Rather than chasing short-term speculation, Daniel focused on building a disciplined approach centred around consistency, risk control and long-term performance. Thousands of hours were dedicated to studying live markets, refining trading strategies and developing a deeper understanding of how professional traders operate within changing market conditions.
Strategy development
Alongside years of self-education and market experience, Daniel also completed a number of trading and investment programmes, including:
- A one-year investment course at Harrow College
- Technical analysis training in London
- Junior trader programme with Samuel & Co in London
- Algorithmic trading course
Technology and human oversight
Unlike fully automated systems with no oversight, EP Rock Capital combines technology with human experience. Algorithm-driven execution is actively monitored and managed to adapt to changing market conditions.
Company vision
Today, EP Rock Capital combines algorithm-driven trading systems with oversight and active risk management, with a focus on transparency, controlled growth and long-term capital appreciation.
