About The Systems Lab

After more than 30 years of combined experience with trading system research and development, we got inspired to share our work with others.  We started The Systems Lab as a way of educating traders about well-researched systems, and equipping them with the tools and resources necessary for market success

Jeff Boccaccio

Jeff Boccaccio has over 20 years of experience in the financial sector having worked for Deloitte Consulting, UBS and Barclays Capital across the US, Switzerland and London. He has a broad range of skills combining a strong background in information technology with financial market analysis and trading.

By leveraging his IT background he cultivated a lifelong interest in financial markets and transitioned to full-time trading and investing his personal funds. Technical Analysis was a natural fit and he used this as a foundation for his trading after gaining the MSTA diploma from the Society of Technical Analysts where he now sits on the Board of Directors.

After building a suite of automated trading systems and customized trading and analysis apps for their own use, Jeff co-founded Rfactory which offers some of their proprietary tools to other traders and funds along with consulting services. Jeff also co-founded The Systems Lab Inc. with Bill Scheidt where they research and develop systems-based strategies for trading and investing and bring them to the world.
