Red faced at Red Lobster

Oct 21, 2019

Greetings from Knoxville Tennessee! Tomas and I have both spent the last week in Tennessee, attending a retreat in Gatlinburg. I wanted to share a quick story because it was a good reminder for me and it might be helpful to you too. The day before we went to...

If you do this in trading, you’re wasting your time

Oct 17, 2019

I have to admit, I used to be one of those traders who worked for months on a single trading strategy. And I tried hard to make it “perfect”. And then, when I launched it….. Boooom. It often didn’t work in live trading. I think many traders relate to this. The...

3 steps to “impossible” trading success

Oct 14, 2019

History has been made. The impossible has been achieved. All throughout history, we've seen dedicated men and women attempt to do the impossible. And in the process, some have achieved greatness. In 1954 Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile. Something that was...

How to “jump the queue” trading

Oct 10, 2019

I made a really smart move today. It saved me and my family a tonne of time and stress and made for a really enjoyable day. I'm currently on holidays in Sentosa (Singapore) and today we decided to go to Universal Studios. My 4-year old son was desperate to see the...

My biggest repeat failure… challenged again

Oct 7, 2019

I’ve got something to admit to you... It’s something that I’ve failed at a number of times, and it still makes me anxious. It’s not strictly about trading, but it also has ALOT to do with trading. Let me explain... We traders, like it or not, are pretty much control...

The #1 trading thing you should NEVER rebel against

Oct 3, 2019

If you’re like me, you’ve probably always hated it when people told you what you should and shouldn’t do. Especially with parents. When my mother told me I should be a good, nice boy, I became a hippie. When she told me I should study to be an engineer, I chose film...

Start the week with some “mmm…”

Sep 30, 2019

This may sound a little odd to some... Because I know lots of people will probably disagree... But I think Mondays are awesome. I love Mondays. (Well I do now, but when I was a corporate slave chained to a desk all day, it was more dread than love. But that story is...

How to trade for big wins with a very small risk

Sep 26, 2019

How would you like to make a profit of $7,380 on a trade with only a $500 stop loss? That’s a profit of almost 15x your risk! Sounds too good to be true? Well it’s not. A week ago we published a video case study called “How Lawyer Brian made +25,592 USD in live...

How letting everything burn to ash and starting over is sometimes the best solution

Sep 23, 2019

We had a HUGE fire not far from our house last week. Helicopters were flying past one after another. They were trying to access a pretty remote area and kill the fire before it spreads to the town. 177 firemen were involved and over 50 people were evacuated. It looked...

The fastest and easiest way to make money in algo-trading

Sep 19, 2019

People sometimes ask me if there’s a way to “cheat” in the markets a little bit. And I admit, there is. Of course, it's not “cheating” in the classical meaning. But it's definitely a small shortcut to start making at least some profit in algo-trading faster. And it...

"Tomas has one of the most practical approaches in the trading education industry that I've come across and I appreciate his no-nonsense, no fluff, inspirational teaching approach."
Arek Emini Breakout Strategies Student

"The course is great and a complete "Hands-on" starting package. It covers all the main aspects to get you kick-started in the right direction."
Rick Emini Breakout Strategies Student

"I am already amazed about the concept/ideas presented in the introduction. I always filtered the trades completely out instead of simply down or upsizing them based on the probability. Already that one is simply great, especially to prevent curve fitting and still being in the game also on bad days!"
Christian Dynamic Position Sizing Student

"Some books and courses you have to go through a large amount of material to find a couple of golden nuggets, whereas this course is full of practical trading tips and advice."
Arek Emini Breakout Strategies Student

"The courses will cut down your learning curve dramatically. Learning programming trading could have taken years for you on your own."
Chang Smashing False Breakouts Student

"The way they develop swing strategies is very intuitive and easy to implement. You will find some swing trading ideas that you may not have considered before."
Chang Hui Advanced Swing Strategies Student

"Tomas, Andrew and their team put together a thought through, very well structured program. I can recommend this to anyone who wants to develop very robust strategies in many different markets."
Oliver Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

“This course is quite informative. I've been developing my own trading strategies now and this course gave me valuable insight and validation.”
Chang Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"The material offered by Tomas and Andrew provided excellent content that has helped me improve the logic of swing strategies design."
Chang Hui Advanced Swing Strategies Student

"Thanks everyone for all the tips, and big thanks to Tomas & Andrew for getting this info out. I cannot imagine how much time (and money) these courses have saved me. Up until this point I had assumed a 10-year optimization (with 20% OOS) followed by a SWFA was adequate robustness testing to start trading a strategy live."
Nathan Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student
