We offer comprehensive educational programs for individual traders and money mangers as well as corporate training programs. Our main educational course covers all steps essential for successful algorithmic strategies development:

1. Market structure and underlying processes: identifying true price drivers.

2. Available sources of information about markets and their structure, and their systematization.

3. Making conclusions from the collected information and identifying trade-able opportunities.

4. Trading strategies: creating algorithms using formal descriptions of those newly found trade-able opportunities. A number of sample fully working strategies are considered in details.

5. Back-testing from technical and statistical point of view. Understanding requirements to the strategy properties which ensure a reliable (realistic) result of back-testing.

6. Optimization: applicable cases and limitations of applicability. Avoiding over-optimization (curve fitting).

7. Risk diversification: using multiple markets and multiple strategies in one market to better diversify risk.

8. Genetic algorithm and its application to semi-automatic generation of robust highly diversified portfolios.

9. Assessing the robustness of trading strategies and portfolios, making reliable prognosis about the strategy’s future performance depending on various market regimes.
