Awakening and Mission

The 2008 global financial crisis rocked Wall Street and the collapse of Lehman Brothers was the moment young Martin Koffey first realized something crucial: the traditional financial system had never truly protected everyday people. This sparked a fire within him for financial equality wealth growth should not be a privilege reserved for a few everyone working hard deserves to start from a fair playing field. Fueled by this awakening, Martin dove deeper into finance and began studying computer technology. He traveled abroad for further education and honed his skills on Wall Street. In 2012 using open source tools he built his first real time trading prototype planting the seeds of hope for the future. Then in 2020 the COVID 19 pandemic shook global markets like never before. This historic upheaval pushed Martin’s long held vision closer to reality. Through Reddit he connected with three like-minded partners a risk management expert from traditional finance a data scientist and an asset management advisor. After three days and nights of intense discussion they reached a shared vision: Not just to build a company but to create a whole new financial culture. On November 16 2020 ForNext Inc. was officially founded a name meaning for the next generation pledging to use technology to usher in the next era of finance. At the very start the ForNext team made three solemn promises:

• Democratize quantitative trading: top-tier financial tools should not belong to just a few.
• Financial equality: break down barriers so wealth growth is no longer a privilege.
• Openness and transparency: legally disclose core algorithms and infrastructure, reject black-box operations and earn user trust through transparency. ForNext was not born to serve Wall Street giants or big capital it was built to be a bridge to the future for everyone with a spark of light in their hearts.

Building Dreams with Technology

Turning ideals into reality requires a solid technological foundation. ForNext understands this deeply: only by creating technology that surpasses the traditional can we reshape the outdated financial landscape. In 2021 Martin, together with several founding partners and early developers embarked on the development journey of the MK Intelligent Trading System. In the early days resources were scarce. The team built a modest GPU server cluster themselves training models while optimizing the architecture. Despite frequent setbacks like power outages and crashes they never stopped turning every obstacle into a stepping stone for the next leap. It was through this relentless perseverance that the MK system began to take shape. The team integrated diverse data sources from social media sentiment to satellite imagery and introduced cutting-edge AI models like Transformers Graph Neural Networks (GNN) and reinforcement learning. This allowed MK to process data and make decisions in milliseconds enabling real time precise responses to the ever-changing market. After countless version updates and late-night battles MK finally reached its breakthrough moment. In early 2022 the first version entered closed beta testing. Back then the model’s success rate was only 55% decision latency exceeded 200 milliseconds and strategy adjustments lacked agility. But the team never slowed down maintaining a continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) development pace without pause. When doubts and fatigue crept in Martin would often remind everyone The real enemy is not technology or funding it is loneliness and doubt. Fueled by this conviction ForNext’s technical breakthroughs only grew stronger. By the end of 2023 MK’s core metrics had leapt forward: the success rate climbed to 81% latency dropped to under 20 milliseconds and MK transformed into a powerhouse rivaling top Wall Street systems. More importantly ForNext infused its unique soul into the code and algorithms. Martin has always believed that wealth growth should never come at the cost of dignity and technological progress must never lose sight of its original mission. It is this commitment and belief that freed MK from the cold confines of a mere machine turning it into a beacon of hope carrying the banner of financial equality for the future.

Faith in Action and Global Resonance

At the start of 2024 the MK system successfully completed internal testing. Behind the impressive data was a new chapter for ForNext’s mission in action. Yet Martin understood deeply that technology is only a tool to achieve the ideal the real challenge is to change the deeply entrenched rules of the financial game. To make technological innovation truly serve the public the team was determined to embrace users with a more open approach. First ForNext split the MK system into two versions: a Professional Edition and an Open Edition. Powered by the same strong core engine the Professional Edition targets institutional partners like mid-to-small asset managers with deep customization capabilities while the Open Edition is designed for everyday individual investors, featuring a visual strategy builder and an intelligent asset allocation assistant to help those without a professional background navigate investing with ease. Both versions share cutting-edge AI decision-making power  differing only in interface complexity and personalization options. This way regardless of background or wealth every user can stand on an equal starting line empowered by technology. At the same time ForNext formally released the Wealth Equality Manifesto pledging to global users through its self-built TRTE community Transparency Respect Trust Equality that all verified users have equal access to the MK Intelligent Trading System profit distribution is fully transparent with every AI-driven decision traceable and the fee model is fair with no hidden charges or exploitative cuts. At the launch event Martin declared with conviction The Earth is round the world is flat and wealth should flow freely. Our intelligent system is not about guarding territory it is about making sure everyone who works hard can start from a fair place. From that moment on ForNext was no longer just a fintech company it became a movement embracing the spirit of inclusive finance resonating around the globe. Shortly after the manifesto’s release ForNext opened beta testing invites for the MK system. To everyone’s surprise tens of thousands of ordinary investors signed up within just two weeks from teachers in rural Africa to entrepreneurs in Europe. They came together through MK feeling for the first time the real power to take control of their financial destiny. On the TRTE community forums new members enthusiastically shared their experiences: some turned around business struggles with smart strategies others took their first steps in personal finance through community learning. These small but meaningful changes shimmered like stars in the night sky gradually forming a brilliant constellation. To further nurture this momentum ForNext actively fosters a community culture of everyone participates everyone grows. Through educational outreach and open-source collaboration more users and developers grow together. As Martin said The TRTE community is not just a company-run group it is a home for everyone who believes in fairness. ForNext knows that only by making every user a part of the ecosystem can the ideal of technology-driven financial inclusion truly take root and flourish.

Stars and the Future

By spring 2025 as the first light of dawn touched New York and London ForNext had already set up data nodes for its intelligent trading network across multiple locations worldwide. The MK system’s reach extended to New York London and Berlin while also establishing footprints in emerging markets like Singapore Dubai and Rio de Janeiro truly building a global multi-node real-time intelligent decision-making network. The development of a distributed federated intelligence architecture is underway designed not only to protect users’ private data but also to enable faster, more agile responses in local markets. At the same time the company launched the Light of the Future charity program annually supporting thousands of young people from developing countries to learn about intelligent finance spreading seeds of hope worldwide. Standing on the stage of the TRTE Global Community Conference Martin looked out at supporters from all five continents and said calmly We have come a long way but this is just the beginning. Moving forward ForNext will continue to advance along the dual paths of faith and technology: quantitative trading aims to create wealth growth, but more importantly to share its fruits more fairly with everyone artificial intelligence enhances efficiency but its true power lies in empowering every individual who uses it big data models can better predict the future but even more crucial is involving more people in shaping that future. With this belief ForNext has laid out an ambitious five-year plan: expanding intelligent trading services to over 50 countries worldwide partnering with top universities to launch open courses on intelligent finance continuously open-sourcing more MK system modules to grow the global open-source ecosystem for intelligent finance and pushing the financial system toward the next evolutionary leap with the principles of openness transparency and equality. Martin knows the road ahead will be full of challenges but just like ForNext’s journey so far every lonely persistence, every faint star eventually merges into a dazzling galaxy. Today this company has grown from a single line of code into a guiding light for countless futures. In the years ahead ForNext will keep writing a new chapter of wealth for everyone powered by both technology and conviction.
