Founded to bring the institutional method to retail.
Eduardo is a Polish-Italian futures trader and the founder of AMT Desk. He is currently reading Economics and Management at Bocconi University in Milan while operating as an active, prop-firm-funded trader from Parma, where he is based.
His daily focus is ES and NQ — the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 e-mini futures — traded exclusively through the lens of Auction Market Theory: market profile, value area construction, initial balance behaviour, and the volume-at-price record of where business actually got done.
AMT Desk was founded with a single thesis: the institutional toolkit — the same profile-based framework used on bank and proprietary desks since J. Peter Steidlmayer and the CME formalised Market Profile in the 1980s — is not, and has never been, the framework most retail education teaches. The intent of the desk is to close that gap, in English, with the rigour expected of a finance education and the practicality expected of a working trader.
Eduardo writes, lectures, and operates in Polish, Italian, English, and French.
Why AMT.
The market is an auction.
Every session, every contract, every tick is the output of a two-way auction searching for a price both sides will accept. It is not a chart pattern. It is not sentiment. It is a bidding process with a measurable record. Once you accept this — really accept it — the way you read the market changes permanently.
Price is information.
Price moves to facilitate trade. When trade is facilitated at a level, the market stays. When it isn't, the market leaves quickly. Every price prints a piece of information: accepted, rejected, rotating, or extending. The profile is simply the receipt the auction leaves behind.
Everything else is noise.
Indicators are derivative. Patterns are descriptive, not generative. News reactions are already in the volume. Strip the chart back to what the auction is actually doing and the signal-to-noise ratio improves before you have placed a single trade. The desk does not predict. The desk measures.
“We do not trade what we think the market will do. We trade what the auction is currently doing.”
