What’s your ‘final exit plan’?

Oct 22, 2018

I’m seriously tired. Running a hedge fund is not fun. Not at all. Yes, we do have spectacular results so far. And new money is flowing into our hedge fund every month. Yet, I feel extremely exhausted. Fast growth is bringing up challenges we were not ready for. During...

Oct 19, 2018

I’ll tell you a very surprising, yet very true reason why many people don’t make money in trading. There is a chance this reason applies to you too... But first, let me share something else with you. I’m a complete idiot when it comes to learning languages. And I mean...

Breaking through the fear of going ‘fully in’ with your trading

Oct 15, 2018

About 10 years ago I had to face a serious trading challenge. I wasn't able to go ‘full in’ with my trading. And I couldn’t figure out why. I had a good day trading strategy and had been trading it live for a while already. Yet, I was trading it with one contract...

Student case study (2/3): The SFB way to more robust strategies

How to build a portfolio for steady trading income

Sep 24, 2018

I’m officially on vacation. But sometimes, even vacations can su*k a bit. Because it can get boring fast! I’m currently on vacation in Portugal, in an area called Algarve. I know this area really well because I used to live here, so it’s not as exciting as visiting a...

How ‘unlearning’ can make you a better trader

Sep 21, 2018

My friend Mike was a former CIA agent. Before that he worked in the military as a fighter pilot. And he’s been a phenomenal option trader for about 30 years too. In fact, I learned everything I needed to become a successful trader from Mike. And it can be put into 2...

"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

"Everything from the course works exactly as advertised"!
Trevor Market Internals 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

I really like the Breakout Masterclass and it's a quite unique way in developing strategies.
Patrick Dütsch Breakout Strategies Masterclass 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

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

This year I'm much better than I was one year ago before I bought your Trading Market Internals course. This was for me very, very important to improve myself. I'm more confident in trading, especially in trading stock indexes, because of Better Trading Academy.
I'm very, very thankful to you and Tomas, this is very good work.
Maxim Schulz 3rd place in World Cup Trading Championship 2017 Market Internals 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

"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

"After I analysed the work of so many traders for several years , I can count you as one of the handful of genuine traders and educators whose methods actually work."
