He Built a 99% Trading AI—Then Let the World Have It

By Guest Columnist, Forbes Tech Desk

The man who outplayed the market didn’t lock away his creation. He set it free.

In a lecture hall humming with anticipation, Joseph Plazo stood before a crowd ready to rewrite how markets are understood.

PhDs and programmers sat frozen, eyes locked on the projector as a piece of market history appeared as code.

“This line of code,” he said, “is what beat Wall Street.”

“And now it’s yours to evolve.”

## The Code That Outplayed Wall Street

Godmode—formally known as System 72—emerged after 12 years and 71 failures.

It marries algorithmic speed with emotional insight, producing near-psychic trades.

It listens to the world—from memes to macro—and acts with surgical precision.

“It’s not about math,” he says. “It’s about mood.”

And System 72 delivered.

It dodged crashes. Nailed rallies. Some weeks, it never lost.

System 72 wasn’t just smart. It was surgical.

## Then Came the Twist

Sitting in his boardroom, he made a decision no financier expected.

“I’m releasing the core engine to the public,” he told his team.

It wasn’t a joke. It was a paradigm shift.

No hedge fund exclusives. No paywalls. Just code—for students.

“Genius shouldn’t be hoarded,” Plazo told Forbes. “It should be cultivated.”

## The Educational Revolution That Followed

Within weeks, universities across Asia were transforming the AI into tools for every field.

Jakarta students used it to detect unrest. Seoul labs used it to predict EV charging loads.

“It’s the scaffolding for a thousand future systems,” said a Kyoto researcher.

Global regulators? Watching—and learning.

## Critics, Controversy, and the Ethics of Genius

Naturally, the elite weren’t thrilled.

“He’s playing with fire,” said a Wall Street analyst.

Plazo stayed firm.

“We can’t outlaw brilliance,” he added. “We need to teach it.”

He retained control of check here execution layers, capital buffers, and trading safeguards.

“The skeleton’s yours to build,” he added.

## Real Stories from the Ground

A part-time data analyst in Manila launched a startup after six months of trading.

In Vietnam, rural scholars built a financial literacy app to hedge vendor losses.

A Mumbai coder called it “the key that opened my family's future.”

## The Philosophy That Powers the Gift

His reason? “Because monopolizing insight is the slowest way to grow.”

To him, information is like air. Shared. Essential. And free.

“The real risk is keeping power in too few hands,” he told me.

## Conclusion: The Joystick Is Yours Now

As students huddle over keyboards, simulating real-time trades, Plazo smiles at the scene.

“Trading was just the beginning,” he says. “This is about agency.”

While others hoarded secrets, he gave away power.

Thanks to Plazo, the future might be written in code… by someone the market never saw coming.
