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...

This is disappointing

Nov 21, 2019

I have a confession to make. It's almost as disappointing as the ending to Game of Thrones, but... It's something that ALL traders have to deal with, so I know I'm not alone. And to make matters worse, it's something that Tomas and I talked about a few months ago in a...

My trading is behind and it’s frustrating, but…

Nov 19, 2019

In trading, we should always expect the unexpected. But surprisingly, this applies to the positive side of things as well. When I launched my hedge fund in 2017, I had no idea what to expect. Of course, except for one thing: I definitely didn’t expect a lot of money...

How to minimize bad trading months

Nov 14, 2019

Last week I shared with you how October was a challenging month for our hedge fund. But wait. THERE’S MORE TO IT. What I didn’t share with you in that post was… that it could have been even worse. MUCH WORSE. And it wasn’t. Which I consider GREAT news. It was just a...

And the loser of the year is…

Nov 12, 2019

I have to admit, October was a challenging month. I don’t know why, but it was the 2nd October in a row our hedge fund didn’t go well. I even thought it had something to do with the DST time changes around the world. So I asked my team to do a thorough analysis of...

The tale of 3 traders

Nov 7, 2019

Over the last month or so, we've been publishing a free online workshop on Facebook, called How to avoid false breakouts and trade genuine signals only in 7 days or less with the ‘Breakout Timing Pyramid’ formula. Just the other day we received a comment that wasn't...

These sneaky “trick or treaters” can’t fool me

Nov 5, 2019

Kids can be so sneaky… but they can’t fool me (this time). Last week it was Halloween. And as expected, there were a large number of costumed characters moving from door to door, collecting treats. But a group of three kids really stood out... They had cooked up a...

"It is a great tool. You are taking position sizing to a new level and I can see why it is so crucial for your hedge fund."
Thomas Dynamic Position Sizing 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

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

"I plan to go live with a portfolio 2 months after joining the Masterclass."
Adam Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

“The sample strategies included in the bonus materials are worth the price of the course alone.”
Brian Advanced Swing Strategies 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

"The scope and content of the course is impressive. The support is prompt and detailed. All in all, an excellent package!"
John Emini Breakout Strategies Student

"As a programmer who has been fiddling with automated trading via AmiBroker and standalone Interactive Brokers API I kind of thought 'Oh well, another set of rules to program, might be interesting, may as well have a look'.
I was completely blown away by Tomas' automated strategy creation idea - so obvious in retrospect, but so clever. Effectively optimizing the strategies rather than the parameters. Game-changer."
Dave Emini Breakout Strategies 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.
