Cypher TeamJuly 17, 20266 min read

A recurring theme in our writing is that a real, identifiable company and team is one of the clearest signs that a trading provider is legitimate. It is only fair, then, to introduce the people behind Cypher.

The leadership team

Cypher is led by a group of operators, developers, and quantitative thinkers:

  • Garret Myers — Chief Executive Officer

  • Matthew Fair — Chief Growth Officer

  • Ian Chamberlin — Chief Operating Officer

  • Victor Turcios — Relationship Manager

  • Matt Myers — Dev Ops / Creative Engineer
  • Together the team spans the disciplines needed to build and support systematic trading technology: operations, engineering, quantitative analysis, and client success.

    Built by skeptics

    Cypher describes its own origin plainly: the founders were not looking for another signal service, another guru, or another black-box promise. They were looking for transparency, verification, and risk controls, a system they would trust with their own money. When they could not find it, they built it. That skeptical starting point is why the company's principles center on transparency and verifiable results rather than marketing claims.

    Institutional influence

    Members of Cypher's development team have previously worked on technology projects supporting major financial institutions, including Citi Bank. That experience helped shape the philosophy behind Cypher's risk-first architecture, where risk comes first, processes are defined, infrastructure is built for reliability, and claims are expected to be verifiable.

    Institutional experience here refers to the prior professional background of individual team members and does not imply any partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement by any financial institution named. Cypher is an independent software company.

    Why a named team matters

    When you are evaluating any automated trading provider, the presence of a real, accountable team is a meaningful signal. Anonymous operators who hide behind a brand can disappear without consequence; a named company with named leadership is accountable for what it builds. This is one of the questions worth asking before trusting any system, and it pairs with the other markers of legitimacy: self-custody of your capital and independently verified performance.

    What the team builds

    The team's work is focused on a single product done well: the DeLorean execution system, an expert advisor for MetaTrader 5 that runs inside your own brokerage account. The goal is to give individual investors access to disciplined, systematic execution while they keep full control of their capital. You can read more about the company itself in what is Cypher.
