Meet our founder
Hi, I'm Colin Matthew Dedely, founder of Automated Trading Pro and Colin Matthew Marketing LLC. I'm a U.S. Marine Corps veteran turned multi-business entrepreneur, financial educator, and passionate advocate for financial freedom through automation.
My journey began in Brooklyn, New York, where I grew up in a two-bedroom apartment, sharing space with my brother and sister while my father worked in construction. Bullied at school and uninspired by the traditional education system, I found refuge in the library and started educating myself on finance at the age of 13. Books like Rich Dad Poor Dad and The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing ignited my lifelong obsession with wealth creation and investing.
I served eight years in the Marine Corps with deployments and assignments in Iraq, Kuwait, Okinawa, South Korea, and Virginia. During this time, I discovered two things: a deep passion for financial education and a massive gap in financial literacy among young service members. That led me to start "Finance Fridays," where I taught Marines about credit, investing, and personal finance.
After leaving the military in 2020, I launched a credit repair and funding company that has helped over 2,000 Americans secure $80 million+ in funding and delete over 10,000 negative credit items. I built a portfolio of 24 rental properties and multiple online income streams, but I found that most passive income sources weren't truly passive.
I experienced the headaches of real estate management, and even lost $35,000 on an Amazon automation scam. That failure turned into fuel. It pushed me to search for a truly hands-free income stream. What I found was automated trading software built by quant developers for hedge funds. I tested it. I earned consistent 5-10% monthly returns. It was life-changing.
That discovery launched Automated Trading Pro - a platform that gives everyday people access to the same institutional-grade trading technology that hedge funds pay millions for. We took that tech, improved it with better stop-losses, smarter risk management, and diversified multi-strategy portfolios. The result? A hands-free trading solution targeting 5% monthly returns with minimal drawdown.
