The market was changing fast. Every day, new tools and technologies emerged, and traditional trading methods started to feel outdated. David Materazzi, then the Director of Strategic Partnerships at a major Canadian investment fund, was at the heart of it all. His company traded over $3.4 billion daily in U.S. stocks with a massive team of 2,800 traders.
Chris didn’t just answer questions; he brought a human touch to every interaction. Spending hours on calls and installations, he ensured that each user felt confident and supported. His dedication paid off: clients began raving about their experience, and Galileo FX soon boasted a 91% happiness rating. Support became a cornerstone of Galileo FX, turning each user interaction into a relationship built on trust and genuine care.
The trading floor was a high-stakes, relentless environment. It was pure proprietary trading—a world where hundreds of trades were made daily in a fierce, dog-eat-dog atmosphere. Keyboards were worn down or outright broken, with spares always on hand for traders who smashed through their gear in the intensity of the moment. This was a Darwinian arena, survival of the fittest, where only the most dedicated thrived. David was surrounded by seasoned professionals who didn’t just trade; they lived and breathed it, embodying the raw, unfiltered essence of the financial markets.
But as he worked closely with clients and traders, he noticed a rising demand for automated, smart tools. Clients wanted automated solutions since manual trading felt overly complex and technical analysis too difficult to grasp. Many sought products that could simplify trading without the usual gimmicks, yet only amateurish bots were available—those promising quick fortunes without delivering the professionalism, ease of use, or flexibility serious traders needed. The world of investing was calling for a transformation, and David felt it deeply.
"Leaving comfort behind isn’t just an option—it’s the price of real success. I walked away from safety because anything less would’ve been settling."
Walking away from a high-profile role and a secure, comfortable career at the Canadian investment fund was a wrenching decision, almost irrational. David was giving up stability, influence, and the promise of long-term success in exchange for the unknown. It wasn’t just a job he was leaving behind—it was a life he had built, a reputation he had earned, and a future many would consider set. But something deeper pulled him, an unshakable drive to break from the familiar and dive into uncharted waters, no matter the risks.
So, with a resolute heart and a vision few understood, he resigned.
After resigning, he decided to work as an independent affiliate for a trading software widely respected among experienced traders. The software had earned strong endorsements and presented impressive performance metrics in stable market conditions. Confident in its potential, he began recommending it to his clients and used it himself, trusting it would bring solid returns.
For a while, the software delivered as promised, and both he and his clients saw promising gains, reinforcing his belief in its effectiveness. But when market volatility surged, the software’s hidden flaws came to light. Its reliance on a high-risk martingale strategy—something never fully disclosed—led to devastating losses. His clients lost money, but he, too, faced an even steeper loss, bearing the brunt of the downturn.

His clients lost money, but he, too, faced an even steeper loss, bearing the brunt of the downturn.
That experience drove him to refocus. Instead of walking away, he took the lesson seriously and decided to build something more reliable.
He knew that if he truly wanted to help traders succeed, he’d need to create something entirely new, a tool that put real control and automation in their hands. Driven by this vision, he made the leap to build Galileo FX from the ground up, determined to deliver a new automated trading software that offered transparency, stability and control for traders everywhere.
David’s eight years in the industry had given him a unique perspective, working closely with traders across the spectrum—from high earners making millions, to those who quit after struggling, to others steadily finding success or displaying raw talent.
David’s eight years in the industry had given him a unique perspective, working closely with traders across the spectrum—from high earners making millions, to those who quit after struggling, to others steadily finding success or displaying raw talent.
He had countless conversations with clients, potential clients, and traders at all levels, absorbing hard-earned insights, effective strategies, and critical success factors. Galileo FX was built from real trading experience, using simple strategies and tools to help users take control of their trading.
"You don’t build a tool like Galileo FX by standing still. The market changes every day, and if you’re not obsessed with improving, you’re already irrelevant."
Starting with just a single bot and $50 for marketing, David embarked on the Galileo FX journey alone. Rather than feeling overwhelmed, he was energized by the challenge, choosing a simple but powerful strategy: let Galileo FX’s performance speak for itself. And it did—the first users spread the word as they saw impressive, reliable returns. For example, in volatile markets where others struggled, Galileo FX’s strategies helped traders retain gains, even during market downturns.
The first sale came quickly, and instead of taking the profits, David reinvested every dollar back into the project, committed to building something truly valuable for traders.
One sale turned into two, then dozens, then hundreds. As word spread, traders began to hear that Galileo FX wasn’t like other bots—it was intuitive, effective and adaptable to individual needs. Galileo FX was growing organically, with no outside investors or large budgets—just pure dedication and constant reinvestment.
Galileo FX had been designed from the start to be different. David wanted users to have control, empowering them to decide what to trade, which settings to adjust, and how to align the bot with their personal strategies. This user-driven flexibility was exactly what traders had been looking for.
"People don’t trust empty words—they trust results they can see. I’d rather let Galileo FX speak for itself than drown people in promises."
As Galileo FX grew, so did the need to support its users. To meet this need, David made his first hire in 2022: Chris, a support expert with years of experience at Google and Microsoft.
Chris didn’t just answer questions; he brought a human touch to every interaction. Spending hours on calls and installations, he ensured that each user felt confident and supported. His dedication paid off: clients began raving about their experience, and Galileo FX soon boasted a 91% happiness rating. Support became a cornerstone of Galileo FX, turning each user interaction into a relationship built on trust and genuine care.
As the community grew, users requested help in finding the right settings.
Even with the bot’s flexibility, many traders wanted a shortcut to effective configurations. In 2024, Galileo FX launched the Performance Page—a major innovation that allowed users to access and download top-performing strategies with just two clicks. For both new and seasoned traders, this feature removed the guesswork and made it easier to start trading successfully. Through this page, users gained instant access to strategies that had been tested under all market conditions, with some configurations yielding returns as high as 1,235% per year.
The organic growth of Galileo FX was something David took pride in.
By reinvesting every dollar and keeping the company self-financed, Galileo FX remained independent and committed to its users.This independence enabled David to focus purely on performance, ensuring the software consistently delivered results that outpaced traditional investments and hedge funds.
Traders saw returns that were two, three, even five times higher than standard benchmarks, made possible by Galileo FX’s capacity to adapt instantly to market shifts.
"If Galileo FX wasn’t built to last, I wouldn’t bother with it. People deserve something they can count on—not a toy that breaks when they need it most."
Today, Galileo FX is more than just a trading bot; it’s a platform backed by a team of ten, spread across the U.S., Japan, Europe, South America, and the Philippines, each dedicated to pushing the company forward.
David himself has become a recognized market expert, frequently invited to share his insights on CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg, Nasdaq, and Nikkei (visit our Newsroom for more).
For the 10,000+ traders who rely on Galileo FX, the platform has become a trusted tool and a supportive community, offering accuracy, ease, and results without monthly fees or hidden cuts.
From a single bot and a small marketing budget to a global platform trusted by thousands, the story of Galileo FX is one of commitment, innovation, and belief. Traders around the world have seen the results firsthand—from doubling their accounts in record time to achieving financial goals they never thought possible.
"I don’t hire people to just do a job. My team shares the same drive—to give traders real power. Without that shared vision, we’d be nowhere."
And for the team, this journey is far from over.
The future of Galileo FX shines brightly, guided by a simple vision: to radically improve the way people invest.
