DAY
From "what's an algorithm?"
to your first honest backtest.
25-Lesson Course
One concept per lesson, in plain English — with check-yourself questions and a final exam that proves you got it.
All Four Markets
Futures, forex, options and crypto — each on its own terms, with a scored quiz that points you to your starting market.
The Honest Method
Out-of-sample testing and the three silent killers of beginner backtests — look-ahead bias, ignored costs, thin samples.
Building With Claude
How to turn your rule into working code with AI as your build partner — no prior programming required.
Live Widgets
A position-risk calculator, a coin-flip simulator, and a filterable directory of every platform the course names.
Two Editions
The interactive HTML course for doing, plus a clean PDF reading edition — both in one download, yours forever.
A real course you tap through,
not a PDF you scroll past.
These are real screens from the course — lessons with progress tracking, calculators that do the math live, and the honest-testing diagrams that make the method stick.
Touch the math
Point value × stop × contracts — type your numbers, see the risk before you ever place a trade.
The real tools, named
NinjaTrader 8, MetaTrader 5, Interactive Brokers, Binance, ccxt — filterable by market, with the safe test path for each.
Out-of-sample, drawn
The one discipline that separates a real edge from a pretty backtest — taught with a diagram you won't forget.
Actual screens from the course · your progress stays private on your own device.
Four parts. One path.
First Principles
What an algorithm actually is · why automate, honestly · the four markets in one tour · the vocabulary · the four-step process — then a scored quiz that points you at your starting market.
Know Your Market
Futures, forex, options and crypto — each explained plainly with its real toolkit: NinjaTrader 8 & CrossTrade, MetaTrader 5, Interactive Brokers, ccxt. Ends with the platform directory and how every piece fits together.
The Method
Finding an idea worth testing · turning it into a precise rule · building it with Claude · the three silent killers of backtests · the honest out-of-sample test · how backtests lie · red flags to stop on.
Go
Deploying in stages — sim first, then small, then scale · your first 30 days mapped out day by day · and the final exam that proves the method stuck.
Your discretion gets tired. Your code doesn't.
Manually marking up charts and hoping your emotions behave isn't an edge — it's a coin flip with extra steps. The founder's answer was to write her rules as code, backtest them against years of data, and let the algorithms do the executing with risk limits the system itself enforces.
This course is the on-ramp to that life. Not "trust the robot" — the opposite: learn exactly how algorithms work, how they're tested honestly, and how they fail, so that the first one you build is one you actually understand.
What it deliberately is not
- No signals to follow — you learn to build your own
- No income promises — trading involves real risk, and the course says so plainly
- No "one weird indicator" — a method, taught honestly, including the failure modes
- No locked platform — everything runs in your browser, offline, forever
Everything you might be wondering.
No. The course teaches you to build with Claude as your coding partner — you describe the rule precisely (the course teaches you exactly how), and you learn to read, test, and question what comes back. That skill matters far more than syntax.
None. Part 1 starts at "what a trading algorithm actually is" and Part 2 explains each market from zero. If you already trade manually, the method parts will still change how you test ideas.
One download with both editions: the interactive HTML course (open it in any browser — progress, quizzes and calculators all work offline and save privately on your device) and a clean PDF reading edition of every lesson. Plus free updates for life.
Not to learn. The course is self-contained, and it deliberately routes you through free and simulated paths first — demo accounts, sim trading, free data tiers. When you're ready to go further, it names the real tools and what they cost, honestly.
No. This is education — there are no buy/sell signals and nothing here is financial advice. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. The course teaches you a method, including all the ways it can fail; the decisions are always yours.
