Who it's for

Is this right for you?

Good fit

You'll get the most out of this if you…

  • Are willing to learn some Python and basic statistics
  • Prefer process and patience over quick profits
  • Accept that losses and drawdowns are part of trading
Not a fit

This is not for you if you want…

  • Stock tips, buy/sell calls or "sure-shot" trades
