Trade Like a Quant

The foundation course for systematic trading. For technical people who keep over-engineering, and anyone who’s learned the hard way that a good backtest and a good strategy are different things.

What’s your edge?

I started trading the way most engineers do, hunting for the perfect system. My first one turned $10k into $25k in four months, and I put that down to skill. It was luck. Then a professional trader asked me a question I couldn’t answer: “What’s your edge?”

Everything in Trade Like a Quant flows from that question. It’s the framework we put together in the years that followed. I used it to fix my own trading, in my stint in professional trading, and now it’s the basis for how I run my own book. I wish someone had handed it to me at the start. It would have saved me years of optimising backtests instead of finding edges.

What you’ll build in Trade Like a Quant

Six modules of practical, systematic trading. By the end you’ll have:

  • A working understanding of how markets function: who’s trading and why, and where the durable edges come from.

  • Four strategies you’ve built yourself, across equities, bonds, crypto and volatility. Simple, non-competitive edges you can run with $25k or with $250k.

  • The “Useful Things That Suck” framework for evaluating any trading idea. The same one I use to decide what’s worth researching for the RW Pro portfolio.

  • A research process for your own ideas: hypothesis first, then data, then backtest. Most people do it backwards.

TLQ is the degree. Pro is on-the-job training.

Trade Like a Quant teaches the framework. RW Pro is the operation that runs on it. Most members start here and upgrade if they want to stop trading alone. More on that further down.

What members say

Maurice

“The single best trading resource I’ve come across. It’s not even close. What I value most is watching the instructors think through problems rather than being handed answers.”

“Five years on, what I learned at Robot Wealth is what I apply every day in my role at a proprietary trading firm in Sydney. The content and the bootcamp got me the job.”

When you’re ready for more

TLQ is where systematic trading starts. The course stands on its own, and many people stop there. That’s totally fine. For those with more ambitious goals for their trading business, RW Pro is where it gets a little more serious: the model portfolio built on these same edges (plus a few more), weekly research webinars, strategy dashboards, live model outputs via the API, and a community of independent quants running their own operations.

Common questions

How much time does it take?

Most people spend two to four hours a week on it and finish within about four weeks. But there’s no rush: the course is self-paced with lifetime access. Some people finish in a month, others spread it over six or more weeks.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. The course includes a small amount of follow-along code, but it’s not the main lesson. You can get by without any existing coding knowledge. I do strongly recommend that you pick up some basic R or Python so that you can be self-sufficient in your data analysis.

If these edges are well documented, why do they still exist?

Because most of them exist for structural reasons. Someone is being paid to take a risk, or paying to offload one, and that doesn’t get arbitraged away easily. Many are also too small for institutions to bother with, which is exactly why they suit traders our size. No guarantees (nothing in trading comes with those), but you’ll understand why each edge should exist before you trade it.

What if it’s not for me?

There’s a 7-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. Try it, and if it’s not a fit, email us and we’ll refund you.
