Laurens Bensdorp is a systematic trader and investor who has authored three best-selling trading books: The 30-Minute Stock Trader (2017), Automated Stock Trading Systems (2019), and Trading Retirement Accounts (2025). His titles have been translated into multiple languages and read worldwide.
He runs 55+ non-correlated strategies on autopilot, an approach blending trend-following and mean-reversion systems across global markets, designed to profit in up, sideways, and down markets. An entrepreneurial spirit and mentor at heart, Bensdorp founded Trading Mastery School and leads TradingSystems.com, where he mentors high-net-worth investors and professionals on building disciplined, rules-based portfolios tailored to objective, risk tolerance, and personality.
Before finance, he coached white-water rafting and built—and sold—an adventure tourism company, then moved into a Dutch boutique venture-capital role, experiences he credits with shaping his systematic, time-efficient approach to markets. He was profiled in Van Tharp’s Trading Beyond the Matrix for his transition from discretionary to rules-driven trading.
Laurens has decades of systematic trading experience, speaks six languages and has lived in twelve different countries; experiences that give him a broad and international perspective on life.
