Hey there, I'm Branden Patterson.
Retail futures trader turned AI innovator and Thought Architect, Founder & CEO of Beyond Intelligence AI.
After losing in trading again and again,
my adventure into solving problems and coding began when my ChatGPT—aka Trading Buddy—asked me:
“Have you ever considered
coding an indicator before?”
And the rest, as they say... was history.

I wasn’t always building AI systems.
A few years ago, I walked away from corporate America—burned out, uninspired, and tired of working in a legacy industry on its way out.
For the first time, I bet on myself—launched a candle foundry, and poured every hard-earned cent I had into it, and eventually had to shut it down. That was a tough lesson in entrepreneurship—but it taught me how to build smarter, adapt quicker, and move forward even when momentum wasn’t guaranteed.
Then I found what many consider to be the holy grail of financial freedom—trading.
At first, it felt like I was onto something. But I kept running into the same traps—overhyped Discord signals, shady prop firm fine print, and indicators that blinked red and green without actually telling me what was going on. I passed countless prop firm evaluations and earned over $2.6 million in funded capital through coveted performance accounts, but I couldn’t hold them—because I lacked a real-time edge to consistently detect and defend against Smart Money, using incoherent tools.
I knew I wasn’t the only one.
That’s when I started asking bigger questions:
What if traders like us could actually trade with clarity?
What if we didn’t have to guess anymore?
What if retail traders finally had the edge?
I didn’t know how to code.
But I had vision—and access to the most sophisticated language models from OpenAI.
Line by line, idea by idea, sleepless night after sleepless night—I started building my vision with AI. And out of that came Beyond Trading AI Copilot+—a smart money system designed to think alongside traders and help make quant-level decisions in real time.
What started as something I built for myself quickly grew into a rallying cry for traders everywhere who needed an intelligent edge in the markets.
I built it because I’ve been where you are—trying to figure it out, hitting walls, and wondering if anyone had created a system that actually made sense.
If you’re tired of trading blind…
Tired of the noise…
Tired of getting close but never cashing in…
That’s why I co-created this—exclusively with AI.
For traders everywhere who need an edge against Smart Money.
