Silviu Vasilescu
Economist · 26 years trading financial assets · Author of Trade Stocks Like A.I.
Silviu Vasilescu is an economist, investor, trader, and AI enthusiast based in Stockholm, Sweden, with more than 26 years of experience in the financial markets. Throughout his career, he has specialized in stock trading, technical analysis, investment research, portfolio evaluation, market psychology, risk management, and Artificial Intelligence applied to financial markets.
As a former member of the Scandinavian Technical Analysts Association and a former analyst at the Swedish Fund Selection Agency, Silviu was responsible for evaluating some of the largest investment funds across the United States and Europe. This experience provided him with a unique perspective on institutional investing, fund performance, market cycles, asset allocation, and the principles that separate consistent investment strategies from speculation.
Over nearly three decades, he has witnessed bull markets, bear markets, financial crises, technological revolutions, and the rapid evolution of algorithmic trading, quantitative analysis, machine learning, and AI-powered investing. Rather than following market hype, his philosophy has always been rooted in evidence, discipline, probability, and continuous learning.
One of the most demanding projects of his career
Writing Trade Stocks Like A.I. was one of the most demanding projects of his professional career.
His goal was never simply to write another stock market book.
Instead, he wanted to create the exact resource he wished had existed when he first began studying the markets more than two decades ago—a practical, comprehensive guide that explains why markets move, when technical indicators work, when they fail, and how traders can dramatically improve their decision-making by understanding the forces behind price action.
The result is a unique explanatory model built upon years of observation, research, and real-world market experience.
Rather than treating technical indicators as magic formulas, Silviu explains which stocks are suitable for specific trading strategies, under which market conditions commonly used indicators achieve the highest probability of success, and why their accuracy changes over time.
He demonstrates that the effectiveness of indicators depends on underlying market dynamics governed by recurring patterns in supply and demand, market structure, volatility, liquidity, institutional behavior, momentum, and investor psychology.
Understanding these relationships allows traders to move beyond memorizing indicators and begin interpreting markets with greater confidence and precision.

Silviu believes that the future of investing belongs to those who successfully combine human experience, critical thinking, data analysis, and Artificial Intelligence.
Life in Stockholm
Outside the financial markets, he enjoys maintaining an active lifestyle. Living in Stockholm, Sweden, he spends his free time strength training, cycling, fishing, hiking in nature, traveling, reading about emerging technologies, and exploring innovations in Artificial Intelligence and financial technology. He believes that the discipline required in sports, the patience learned through fishing, and the endurance developed through cycling all mirror the qualities required to become a successful investor: consistency, emotional control, resilience, and continuous improvement.

His mission is to make advanced market knowledge accessible to individual investors and to help traders make more informed, disciplined, and profitable decisions.
His philosophy is simple:
Successful investing is not about predicting the future. It is about consistently making better decisions than the average market participant.
Silviu believes that knowledge is the greatest investment anyone can make—and that combining experience, education, discipline, and Artificial Intelligence can unlock opportunities that were unimaginable only a few years ago.
He hopes that Trade Stocks Like A.I. will become more than just another trading book. His ambition is for it to serve as a long-term reference—a resource readers return to throughout their investing journey as they deepen their understanding of the stock market and continue growing as traders and investors.
