Red faced at Red Lobster

Oct 21, 2019

Greetings from Knoxville Tennessee! Tomas and I have both spent the last week in Tennessee, attending a retreat in Gatlinburg. I wanted to share a quick story because it was a good reminder for me and it might be helpful to you too. The day before we went to...

If you do this in trading, you’re wasting your time

Oct 17, 2019

I have to admit, I used to be one of those traders who worked for months on a single trading strategy. And I tried hard to make it “perfect”. And then, when I launched it….. Boooom. It often didn’t work in live trading. I think many traders relate to this. The...

3 steps to “impossible” trading success

Oct 14, 2019

History has been made. The impossible has been achieved. All throughout history, we've seen dedicated men and women attempt to do the impossible. And in the process, some have achieved greatness. In 1954 Roger Bannister broke the 4-minute mile. Something that was...

How to “jump the queue” trading

Oct 10, 2019

I made a really smart move today. It saved me and my family a tonne of time and stress and made for a really enjoyable day. I'm currently on holidays in Sentosa (Singapore) and today we decided to go to Universal Studios. My 4-year old son was desperate to see the...

My biggest repeat failure… challenged again

Oct 7, 2019

I’ve got something to admit to you... It’s something that I’ve failed at a number of times, and it still makes me anxious. It’s not strictly about trading, but it also has ALOT to do with trading. Let me explain... We traders, like it or not, are pretty much control...

The #1 trading thing you should NEVER rebel against

Oct 3, 2019

If you’re like me, you’ve probably always hated it when people told you what you should and shouldn’t do. Especially with parents. When my mother told me I should be a good, nice boy, I became a hippie. When she told me I should study to be an engineer, I chose film...

Start the week with some “mmm…”

Sep 30, 2019

This may sound a little odd to some... Because I know lots of people will probably disagree... But I think Mondays are awesome. I love Mondays. (Well I do now, but when I was a corporate slave chained to a desk all day, it was more dread than love. But that story is...

How to trade for big wins with a very small risk

Sep 26, 2019

How would you like to make a profit of $7,380 on a trade with only a $500 stop loss? That’s a profit of almost 15x your risk! Sounds too good to be true? Well it’s not. A week ago we published a video case study called “How Lawyer Brian made +25,592 USD in live...

How letting everything burn to ash and starting over is sometimes the best solution

Sep 23, 2019

We had a HUGE fire not far from our house last week. Helicopters were flying past one after another. They were trying to access a pretty remote area and kill the fire before it spreads to the town. 177 firemen were involved and over 50 people were evacuated. It looked...

The fastest and easiest way to make money in algo-trading

Sep 19, 2019

People sometimes ask me if there’s a way to “cheat” in the markets a little bit. And I admit, there is. Of course, it's not “cheating” in the classical meaning. But it's definitely a small shortcut to start making at least some profit in algo-trading faster. And it...

"Tom´s systems and trading approach do really work and can bring good, stable and reasonable returns."

David Breakout Trading 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

"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

"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."

Raman Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"I signed up for the Masterclass 1 week ago and am eagerly devouring the lessons. Tomas is the real McCoy. He is absolutely genuine and sincere."

Jeff Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

"The Robust Strategies Masterclass is great. Bob Pardo has a powerful system."

Sherif Building Robust Strategies Masterclass 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

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