I’m going to share with you a clever way to make money every month. No scam. No B.S. Real, practical stuff. In fact, this could become a very SERIOUS business for you. And even better – many of my students have been doing this for some time already. Ok, so what is it...

“We had a little glitch in the stock market last month”

Jan 10, 2019

Yup, that quote was from President Trump. Now I’m not going to get political here, but I'm always a little skeptical when something is blamed on a "glitch". Here's why: In July 2018, a "computer glitch" caused the cancellation of 3,000 flights, costing American...

Trading crap still happens

Dec 21, 2018

Trading crap still happens - and that is totally ok. Although our hedge fund had a phenomenal year, there is one thing I’m not really proud of. And it is this emini Dow Jones (YM) swing strategy: Out of 15 strategies (5 in our CTA1 program and 10 in our CTA2 program),...

And the winner is…

Dec 17, 2018

Sometimes I still get surprised by how “basic” trading stuff is often the best. And the most reliable. In this article, I’m going to discuss the “DISTANCE” element in my breakout model. (If you’re not yet familiar with my model for building breakout strategies fast,...

"Tom's approach to ATS design, tests of robustness and portfolio diversification is really unique."
Antonin Breakout Trading Student

"Everything that Tomas puts out is quality content. I own several of his courses and can say that the information and ideas are outstanding."
Sherif Trading Market Internals Student

“I’ve been testing out the MI codes the last few days and just adding the mini-smart code and about 20 min of testing, my new results are a 54% reduction in drawdown!
Wonderful code and course. I really hope you guys release more on this particular topic.”
Alex Market Internals 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

"I've not even watched past module 3 and already I've found a solid use for Market Internals in my own trading system!
I'm really impressed by what I've tested already- I've been trading for nearly 11 years and I've never thought of using something so conceptually simple but so powerful"
Craig Market Internals Student

“Immediately after applying just the time filters from the ‘Smashing False Breakouts’ course, I achieved an absolutely massive improvement.”
Shawn Smashing False Breakouts Student

"Tom´s systems and trading approach do really work and can bring good, stable and reasonable returns."
David Breakout Trading Student

"The Breakout Strategies Masterclass has without a doubt been a great investment for me already. I took the course in the second half of 2017 and my results have improved substantially... I’ve read literally hundreds of books and took many courses on the markets and most of them failed to teach me a robust way to trade... Thank you Tomas for another great course."
Bruno Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"Just finished the course yesterday, and I really do like all the Dynamic Position Sizing concepts! The simplicity and novelty of the concepts surprise time again and again. And yet they are very powerful. Another valuable tool in your trading toolbox."
Patrick Dynamic Position Sizing Student
