You’re very likely smarter than me, yet…

Nov 2, 2018

Oct 22, 2018

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...

The disappointment of adaptive indicators

Oct 12, 2018

"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

"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

“The approaches presented in 'Trading Market Internals' are very impressive.”

Chang Trading Market Internals 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

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

"Tomas' methodical approach and willingness to share all the finest details and tips he uses in his hedge fund is priceless."

Mark Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"Thanks so much, it’s been an absolutely awesome course."

Adam 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

"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

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

Antonin Breakout Trading Student
