Algo trading, explained in an hour

A live, no-jargon session on how automated strategies actually work — what they can do, what they can't, and how to judge one before you risk capital on it.

What we cover

  1. 0:00

    What an algorithm actually is

    Stripping away the mystique: a strategy is a set of rules, and rules can be tested. We walk through one end to end.

  2. 0:15

    Reading a backtest honestly

    Overfitting, look-ahead bias, survivorship bias, and why a beautiful equity curve is often a warning sign rather than a promise.

  3. 0:30

    Risk before returns

    Drawdown, position sizing, and the arithmetic of ruin. Why the trader who survives beats the trader who is right.

  4. 0:45

    Going live, carefully

    Broker API keys, paper trading first, kill switches, and what to monitor in the first month.

  5. 0:55

    Live Q&A

    Open floor. Bring your questions about specific strategies, brokers, or your own results.

This is for you if

  • You have traded manually and want to understand automation before trying it
  • You are evaluating algo platforms and want to ask better questions
  • You are early in your trading and want the risk framing first

Probably not for you if

  • Anyone looking for guaranteed returns or tips — this session offers neither
  • Experienced quants who already build and validate their own strategies
