RW Pro

What you’re joining

A shared trading desk: a real operation you can see work.

You’re plugging into our shared trading desk: a decentralised trading firm where everyone trades their own book and keeps everything they make, and nobody’s doing it alone.

Quick word on “firm,” because it’s a bit poisoned these days. I don’t mean one of those “pass our challenge and trade our capital” bucket shops, the kind that win when you lose. What you get instead is the desk legit prop traders have behind them: research, tools, risk frameworks, and a room of people who take this as seriously as you do. I spent years as a partner at a prop firm, and this is the desk I wish I’d had when I went out on my own. Now it’s yours.

Watch one strategy come together

One strategy that grew its wings inside RW Pro (and which you have immediate access to) is our statistical arbitrage work.

The RW Pro community have watched this one grow up. It started in 2020 as a simple pairs trade: two related stocks, and a bet that their divergence is a mispricing that reverts. But one pair on its own is a single bearing, easily mistaken for noise.

In shared research notebooks, you can see how we mapped the whole network of related stocks and watched for where the bearings cross. When a dozen relationships all point at the same mispricing, you’ve gone from a hunch to a fix. That’s triangulated statistical arbitrage, and you can see every step of how we built it.

Inside RW Pro, you can see every step of how we built it and the evidence for why it’s worth trading at all.

You also get the tools to make it your own. Open the implementation notebooks and you don’t just read how it’s traded, you run it, tweaking it to your own capital and constraints and watching the trade-offs shift for your setup. Pull the live data off the API, through the day and again at the close. Nothing’s behind a curtain.

Here’s a screenshot from a recent live RW Pro webinar session on this strategy:

Inside RW Pro, we don’t hide the messy bits from you. You see the stuff that never makes it into a textbook. When we hit speed bumps, it’s often problem-solving within the membership community that comes up with a fix.

For example, take corporate actions.

Nobody’s surprised that a merger can break a spread trade: you’re short both legs, one company buys the other, the two stocks start moving as one, and you’re left holding a single position at twice the size you wanted. Knowing it can happen is easy. Having a clean way to catch every one before it bites is the hard part.

When we first took this live, we didn’t have a filter for these events. So the desk built it.

A RW Pro member wired up an AI process that scans the universe for the corporate actions that matter and flags them early. He then shared it with everyone in the community! That’s how a lot of this goes: a real problem turns up in live trading, someone solves it properly, and the whole fleet gets the solution.

Here’s a snapshot from the RW Pro Discord:

Earnings are another one. A spread that suddenly diverges right after an earnings surprise has usually moved for a real reason, so it’s far less likely to snap back. So we built an earnings-surprise feed into the API, backed by research you can run yourself, and you can wire it into your own implementation to sidestep exactly that trap.

And nobody hands you a finished strategy and points you at a button. You build your own version: your universe size, your signal thresholds, your trade buffer, all set against your own capital and your own appetite for pain.

As a member of RW Pro, you do all this with the tools, research and support of a desk of fellow indie traders.

I’ve written this concept up in public. Blog, Substack, the newsletter, in enough detail that a determined person could rebuild the pipeline themselves. A few have. The idea was never the secret.

Join RW Pro and, for less than the data would cost you on your own, you get the live build, the API, the daily model outputs, a bunch of other strategies, the pipeline that keeps turning out the next one, and the people. Put it like that and the strategy itself is almost beside the point. What you’re paying for is a seat in the operation that produces them.

You decide your time commitment

You decide how deep you go. RW Pro is going to give you value whether you want to just dip your toes in or dive in head first. Some members practically live in the notebooks and turn up to every webinar. Other Pro members trade three strategies off the back of the newsletter in fifteen minutes a day and leave the rest alone. The depth’s there when you want it. The time you give it is your call.

The intent of this community was never to have you following my “signals”. That’s a fast road to nowhere worth going. Our aim at RW Pro is to turn you into the kind of trader who can run their own book properly. Once you can, the desk is simply where you keep doing it, for as long as you trade. You don’t grow out of a research desk. You grow into one.
