About the founder

Ross Hayes.
Engineer first. Trader by necessity.

A decade in technical engineering meant precision was the only acceptable outcome. When I moved into forex, I refused to settle for guesswork. The result is Orion RFX — a method, a stack of tools, and a community of traders who stopped gambling.

Based in the UK Trading full-time since 2019

The story so far

From engineering desks to live markets.

Every milestone shaped how Orion RFX teaches and tools traders today.

  1. 2008

    Engineering · The discipline years

    A decade in a role where a single decimal place could shut down a production line. Tolerance was a number, not a feeling.

  2. 2017

    First trades · The hard lesson

    Started forex the same way most traders do — indicators, YouTube setups, gut calls. Lost a small account learning the only thing that actually mattered: structure beats opinion.

  3. 2019

    Full-time trader

    Risk model rebuilt from scratch. Engineering-first methodology applied to the chart. Replaced the engineering income with trading income that year.

  4. 2022

    Orion RFX founded

    Bundled the method, the indicators and the framework into a system other traders could follow. Mentorship cohort one launched.

  5. 2025

    Nebula + Protocol 7

    The method becomes software. Nebula evolves strategies on commodity hardware; Protocol 7 puts the scanning on autopilot. Engineering thinking, productised.

Engineering taught me one thing: if the tolerance is 0.005mm, you measure to 0.005mm. You don't guess. The market rewards the same discipline. Every Orion tool is built on that.
