Just one year ago, Qamar "Q" Zaman had never traded. Today, alongside his mentor Gary P, he has built what they call "the future of scalping" for zero-day-to-expiration options and ES futures.
"After 9 months of sleepless nights — learning, failing, adjusting — Gary kept me sharp," said Zaman. "He became more than a mentor. He became a mirror. Gary is a position trader, but I needed something different. I wanted to trade 1–2 hours a day, max. So with his guidance and my own research, I built IKIGAI."
Two Worlds Collide: Wall Street Meets Silicon Valley
Gary Paccagnini brings decades of institutional trading experience from the floors of Goldman Sachs and the New York Stock Exchange. Zaman brings a different kind of expertise — one forged through building banking software at age 15, programming COBOL systems for Channel Islands banks, and consulting on ERP projects for big banks.
Zaman's career spans building ERP & MRP applications using Oracle, Microsoft, and Motorola, plus four years as an Adjunct Associate Professor of Finance and Economics in the Cayman Islands. His 25-year journey in technical SEO and digital marketing taught him one critical skill: how to analyze data and find patterns others miss.
The Q ALGO 9.1 System Features:
The 14-Day Masterclass
The Zero DTE SPY & SPX Masterclass includes 19 hours of live instruction, lab sessions during market hours, two private sessions with Gary P, and a viva voce final examination. Students who pass gain access to the full Q ALGO VIP suite.
"If an indicator alone could make you rich, everyone would be a billionaire," Zaman noted. "This isn't a get-rich program. It's a way for you to learn a skill and make a decent living — on your terms. My dad always said: Learn from history. History is our teacher. Instead of making our mistakes, you learn from them."
