RW Pro is an invite-only community for scrappy traders.
RW Pro is available to Trade Like a Quant Bootcamp participants.
Here’s a quick tour of what’s in RW Pro:
(this is the invitation we extend to Trade Like a Quant participants, shared here to give you an idea of what we do)
Pro is only available to people who have participated in Trade like a Quant with us.
We overshare. And we want people who are realistic about the path.
RW Pro in a nutshell.
Community
RW Pro has a dedicated Slack Workspace where our 400+ members connect, collaborate on trading projects, troubleshoot and share their wins.
Lots of Training Material
As a Pro member, you’ll be invited to take part in all the courses we run. Sometimes these teach specific skills like financial data analysis. Sometimes we explore markets and trading styles together – often defining complete systematic strategies.
Regular Q&A Webinars
We hold fortnightly webinars where we share real-time trading updates, strategy research and development, and address RW Pro members’ Q&A. And ad-hoc webinars during the week.
The Lab
The Lab includes a repository of research, a database of market edges, shared data sets, and a cloud research environment.
Weekly Summary Email and Insiders Blog
We share summaries, updates, insights and ideas that we won’t share with the public on the RW Insiders Blog, available to RW Pro members only.
Data
Members have access to clean, ready-to-use analytical data to implement your trading research. It can be expensive and time-consuming to get and clean data, and it’s silly for us to all do the same data-munging grunt work. So we share this with you.
> 70 weeks of Bootcamp training material
In the last year, we’ve run courses on risk premia harvesting with global futures contracts, data engineering and cloud data processing techniques, and options strategies. We’ve revisited our pairs trading and crypto trend and momentum strategies.
And right now we’re looking at more options strategies.
And next year, we’ll be doing even more work on equity options and volatility, practical statistics and data analysis, and relative value trades that take on more directional risk.
You’ll also get access to all the courses, bootcamps, tools, and webinars we’ve ever created.
There is many years’ worth of content there, including:
Pairs Trading Bootcamp and Trading with Machine Learning and Big Data, in which we create an equity pairs trading selection pipeline and fully systematic trading strategy.
Some of our members have applied this pipeline to Australian and European equity markets – and it could also be applied to crypto futures.
On Quant for Crypto we looked at lots of the systematic trading strategies we discussed on Trade Like a Quant Bootcamp.
And we built a strategy called YOLO which ensembles a lot of trend and momentum features. Again, you can access model weights for that via API and dashboard and all the analysis is fully out in the open and continuously updated. (Currently in the pipeline to be ported from FTX to Binance).
There’s also Zero to Robot Master – which is a course on automation. It automates three simple strategies including risk premia harvesting, a fast FX alpha trade, and a simpler version of the VIX trade you’ve learned – and it automates the trading of them.
Trading through Armageddon is a Bootcamp we ran at the end of March 2020 in the eye of the COVID storm. It documents our trading during that time. It’s full of useful trades and techniques as well as a survival guide checklist for you to refer to next time things get wild.
The Lab, our repository of research, data, tools and strategies.
The most useful things we do end up in a research environment that we call The Lab.
The Lab consists of Research Pods. These are all focused around a particular trading problem.
We do focused research together on high-quality pre-prepared data sets. As you know, sourcing data is expensive and cleaning and aligning it is time-consuming. We do all of that for our members so we can do productive research together.
And we share research on these data sets using Google Colab and Github.
There are pods for:
- Macro assets and risk-premia trades
- Long/short equity
- Statistical arbitrage
- Crypto
- Equity options trading
- FX
We also have many examples of best practice research, a code snippet library, packages to do backtesting, a library of analysis patterns and more.
