I can’t believe we did this

Jul 29, 2020

The other day I saw an ad on TV which reminded me of a shocking (and highly dangerous) thing we used to do as kids. The ad was set in a car. The car was full of people, and the passenger sitting in the middle of the back seat wasn't wearing a seatbelt. Everyone was...

Are these trading wisdoms real or myths?

Jul 27, 2020

Have you ever heard someone say: “The safest place to stand during an earthquake is in a doorway.” Or how about: “Using a cell phone while pumping gas can cause an explosion.” Or perhaps you’ve even heard: “Microwaving metal will blow up the microwave.” We hear these...

How to have more winning trades

Jul 21, 2020

I have to admit, it’s not always easy for me talking about this “having more winning trades” stuff. First of all, I realized that in our hedge fund, there are other ways to maximize our results. (Clue: Dynamic Position Sizing). Second, I believe that a well-crafted...

I did NOT study at a trading school…!

Jul 14, 2020

People seem to be VERY surprised when they realize that as a professional trader and hedge-fund manager/owner, I did NOT study at any relevant school. But it’s true. In fact, I studied at a FILM school. I always loved watching movies. So, since I was 11, I wanted to...

Profitable strategies going to the trash…

Jul 7, 2020

We are throwing away hundreds of strategies that made us a LOT of money. Seriously. When I launched my hedge fund a few years ago, it was with a big database of exceptional, high-quality breakout strategies (all built with the framework I share in the Breakout...

Think different

Jun 29, 2020

These 2 words probably remind you of the Apple advertising campaign in the late 1990s. The campaign was a huge success, and featured a number of iconic personalities, including Albert Einstein, Martin Luther King Jr, John Lennon, Thomas Edison, Muhammad Ali, Mahatma...

Most traders think about this all WRONG

Jun 23, 2020

“Work hard and you’ll be rewarded”. I’m sure you’ve heard this before. You probably heard it at home as a child. You probably heard it at school from your teachers. And you probably heard it at work too. It’s a common “understanding” around the world, and in lots of...

Is this portfolio going to be a nightmare?

Jun 16, 2020

Sometimes, you dream about something, but when it actually happens, you hope it will not turn into a nightmare. This month is a BIG one for our hedge fund. We finally got a ‘green light’ from our main institutional investor to assemble and start trading a new...

Just get it done!

Jun 9, 2020

This week I got stuck. No, it wasn’t trading (my hedge fund team is taking care of that). It was WRITING A SCRIPT. I’m a former filmmaker. And from time to time I still feel the urge to create a short video and channel some of my creative passion into this beautiful...

Are you ready to leave your 9 to 5 job?

May 29, 2020

Many people think that living from trading is difficult. I DON’T THINK SO. Not at all. Yes, it’s a bit different to having a regular job. You certainly can’t rely on receiving a regular paycheck in your bank account every month, so you have to accept the reality of...

"The courses will cut down your learning curve dramatically. Learning programming trading could have taken years for you on your own."

Chang Smashing False Breakouts 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

"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

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

Brian Advanced Swing Strategies Student

Mark Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

Chang Hui Advanced Swing Strategies Student

"A big thank you to Andrew for his well-documented automation course, helpful information and code."

Mark Automated Strategy Development Student

"Overall well-structured course with a lot of right away applicable information. The course fulfilled all my expectations and is worth every cent."

Marian Breakout Strategies Masterclass Student

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

David Breakout Trading 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."
