TrooperBar™ began not as a fintech startup, but as a question inside a story. In 1986, while developing a screenplay ‘Inherit The Stars’ about a young man who discovers astrology through horse racing and later predicts a market collapse, founder Anthony Forrest sought real-world grounding for the film’s premise. He turned to Daniel Pallant, a quiet pioneer in financial astrology, who wrote for the Financial Times. Pallant introduced Forrest to the logic of Venus ingresses, eclipse cycles, and their uncanny timing correlations with market sentiment — tools long ignored by mainstream economics. In one of their earliest conversations, Pallant forecast the October 1987 crash, over a year before it occurred. That moment planted the seed for what would eventually become TrooperBar™: a platform that reimagines astro-economics for the digital age — fusing ancient timing intelligence of both Vedic and Western science with ethical technology to help users anticipate risk, align action, and protect value across markets, sport, and life. TrooperBar: Built on insight. Guided by timing. Committed to responsibility.
