Hacking away at your trading?

Jan 14, 2020

Last week I was testing some new Walk Forward software... And I wanted to compare the results of this new software with the results from Tradestation, but there was a problem... I needed to test it on lots of strategies. Not just a few. I wanted to test hundreds. And...

How to get anything you want (even in trading)

Jan 7, 2020

I got handed a pretty good lesson this year. At the start of 2019 I took some time to sit down and think about what I wanted to achieve for the year. I had some big ideas, and I had some small ideas. So I wrote them all down, tried to make the list manageable and I...

We’re done for the year! 🙂

Dec 20, 2019

Even traders have to rest. And Christmas time is definitely the right time, as markets don’t usually move much anyway! So, Andrew, Tomas and the entire Better Trader Academy team are going to be offline until early January, starting next week. But before that, we’d...

My biggest trading failure of 2019

Dec 17, 2019

We all fail sometimes. And in this post, I’m going to share with you very openly what I consider to be my biggest trading failure of 2019. But first, let me start with this: As most already know, as a trader, I consider myself to be a BREAKOUT specialist. In trading,...

This ruined my night.. but I’m glad it did

Dec 12, 2019

Last night, I was flicking through the channels on TV, hoping to catch something interesting to watch as I wind down for the day. As I was quickly scanning through the dozens of useless shows being broadcast, I stumbled on a documentary called "Capitalism: A Love...

Traders, stop doing this!

Dec 10, 2019

Last week I published a post about the journey of my hedge fund, which is now heading (hopefully) towards a 100 million Euro investment. And I was super pleased to receive lots of email feedback, not only on that post but also on my question about who intends to...

Navy SEALs, SAS, and Elite traders

Dec 5, 2019

About two months ago, Andrew and I had a great conversation about elite traders. We were both in the U.S., and the conversation was spread over a few days. It usually happened either in Starbucks, or Red Lobster, 2 of our favorite places! Both Andrew and I have quite...

The 100 million Euro idea

Dec 3, 2019

My hedge fund is close to finalizing a deal. This deal would mean up to 100 million Euro invested in my hedge fund over the next year. Now, don’t get me wrong - until everything is signed and done, I’m definitely not celebrating yet. I know that closing deals like...

Kicked in the teeth

Nov 29, 2019

Did you see my email from a few days ago? It was about one of my favorite quotes from the TV series Breaking Bad. In case you missed it, the quote goes like this: "I have spent my whole life scared, frightened of things that could happen, might happen, might not...

Your enemy

Nov 26, 2019

Last weekend I watched the movie "El Camino". It's an extension of the Breaking Bad television series - one of my most favorite TV series ever. If you haven't seen Breaking Bad, it's about a struggling high school chemistry teacher Walter White, who gets diagnosed...

"I have taken it, and finished lesson 1. I think the value is much higher the price. Actually, I use the similar breakout strategies for swing trading. But this course still inspired me new ideas, it could be a part of my personal trading style. Thank you for sharing this good course."
Rick Liao Emini Breakout Strategies Student

"A big thank you to Andrew for his well-documented automation course, helpful information and code."
Mark Automated Strategy Development Student

"The Swing Trading Course gave us the tools to create swing strategies within hours."
Alan Advanced Swing Strategies 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

"I recently bought the e-mini breakout course. Ton of value there! Just the lesson with the practical walkthrough of the smart code is worth the whole price of the course. Wow!
Also, I work in a large U.S. corporation, and I see a lot of presentations and training materials. The way the course was laid out and formatted is Top Notch and very professional."
Brian Emini Breakout Strategies Student

"This really is a game-changing course and one that was worth every penny."
Alan Market Internals Student

"I finished the masterclass in a few days. It is an excellent course and I wished I had that at the beginning of my trading adventure. I was impressed with how generous Tomas is with the know-how he passes on. I think anyone who trades mechanically will find lots of gems. Most of the traders don't have that level of automation and will be amazed to get a full methodology."
Thomas Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"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

"I came across the course 'Build e-mini breakout strategies fast' exactly the right time. I am convinced having the knowledge of this course will help bring my skills and success to the next level."
Lars Emini Breakout 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
