Since 2020 he has served as an investment advisor with Capital Advisors 360 and trades many of the models he developed over the years for himself and his clients.

Rob began sharing his research and ideas publicly in 2003. In 2008 Rob established Quantifiable Edges. Through his writings, particularly in the Quantifiable Edges subscriber letters and online courses, he has shared his extensive research, contributing valuable perspectives on market behavior, trading strategies, and risk management.

The Quantifiable Edges subscriber letters, which compile over 16 years of financial research and insights, reflect Hanna's commitment to empirical analysis and his belief in the importance of historical context when making investment decisions. The research at Quantifiable Edges is a testament to his approach, combining rigorous analysis with practical strategies for traders and investors alike.
