Algomatic who?
Traders sharing ideas and knowledge
When we started trading in 2018, we struggled to find trustworthy ideas and inspiration.
Those "110% win rate" videos, curve-fitted algo retailers and twitters with to-the-moon-graphs didn't help us whatsoever. Neither did the math-heavy trading books that required a PhD to even decipher the foreword.
Getting profitable took a lot of puzzling with bits and pieces from a few reliable sources, and hammering our backtesting stations with thousands of ideas. Algorithmic trading made it possible for us to become profitable without any prior experience or education in economics, we just share a great passion for trading and finance.
Now, we're sharing what we've learned so that you won't have to get stuck in the traps we did.
You can use our ideas to build a robust set of strategies and to improve your trading, regardless if you're a newbie or a pro.
Systematic trading doesn't have to be difficult. It's not rocket science, but nor is it a get-rich-quick scheme. It's just putting the odds in your favor. We believe anyone can do it successfully, with a bit of dedication.
Good luck!
