The “silent killer” hurting your trading strategies

Jan 25, 2021

I have to share something with you that completely shocked me. It was something that me and my hedge fund team never really considered much, but it had SUCH a drastic impact on our trading results in 2020… and I want to share it with you today because it could be...

The “Mr Miyagi” technique to accelerate your trading wealth

Dec 28, 2020

Wax on. Wax off. Sand the floor. Paint the fence. Movie buffs or anyone who grew up in the 80s would recognize these quotes instantly… They’re from the hit movie “The Karate Kid”, where Mr. Miyagi teaches a teenage boy called Daniel how to defend himself using Karate,...

We’re done… for 2020!

Dec 24, 2020

Yes, we’re done. At least for this year 🙂 It’s been a hell of a year. I think all of us will remember it. But at the same time, markets were INSANELY generous for many. Especially in our Elite Mastermind family, we’ve seen incredible trading success. Some of the...

The Mike Tyson trading plan for 2021

Dec 22, 2020

“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” - Mike Tyson Now, that’s a scary thought! Imagine getting in the ring with Mike Tyson and getting punched in the face (yes, even in his recent form at 54 he’s completely scary!) In a sense, 2020 has been a...

How to create your trading plan for 2021

Dec 3, 2020

Success in trading is not only about the right technique. It is also about the right mindset, and about PLANNING. Many traders share with me how they want to make money in trading, or even leave their 9-to-5 job and make a full-time income. But when I ask them what...

“How many trading strategies do I need to succeed”?

Dec 1, 2020

So you want to make it in trading huh? You want to create a secondary, or even primary trading income. As stable as possible. And because you’re probably a very smart guy (because most algo traders are), you’ve already done a bit of research here or there and you...

The 6 surprising markets to grow your account in 2021

Nov 24, 2020

It’s pretty easy to get “attached” to certain markets. You develop your first few strategies on a market. Or you make some money trading a market, so you feel grateful. Then you create a “positive relationship” with that market and become "married" to it. I’ve been...

What will happen to the markets when COVID is over?

Nov 10, 2020

Have you ever wondered what will happen to the markets after the Covid craziness is officially over? I mean, when there is a reliable vaccine, when the virus mutates to a harmless version itself (like with many flus), or when it just disappears as unexpectedly and...

Do you trade EUROPEAN markets already?

Nov 4, 2020

I know this is embarrassing. But I have to confess: Although I’m European, it took me 4 long years to finally start incorporating European markets into our hedge fund! BUT… I think the wait was totally worth it. First of all, some really neat European futures markets...

"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

“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

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

Alan Advanced Swing Strategies Student

"The DPS techniques are better than a filter since my total trade count doesn’t suffer and yet my average net profit per contract improves."

Shiva Dynamic Position Sizing 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

"I have never seen an end to end product like this around systematic trading with all the components clearly laid. Well done guys!"

Nick 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

"Thank you Tomas and Andrew. I appreciate your honest transparency and commitment to excellence. This speaks volumes to your market and will place you well above the rest!"

Phil Breakout Strategies Masterclass 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

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