"Another game-changing training program loaded with priceless tips, techniques, deep research, and expert wisdom."

Joss Advanced Swing Strategies Student

"The Breakout Masterclass system works… I started live trading in August 2018. It was an intense journey with many ups and downs, a lot of work, and finally meaningful results."

Oliver Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"The material offered by Tomas and Andrew provided excellent content that has helped me improve the logic of swing strategies design."

Chang Hui Advanced Swing Strategies 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

"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

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

Antonin Breakout Trading Student

"I came across the course 'Build e-mini breakout strategies fast' exactly the right time. I am convinced having the knowledge of this course will help bring my skills and success to the next level."

Lars Emini Breakout Strategies 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."
