The Trader's University
On a mission to give back, numerous quant wizards are at your service!
We're committed
We’re ‘all in’ on the idea of training traders to become real success stories. The better you trade, the more opportunities open up for all of us.
We want to work with you if:
- you think it makes sense to learn from a genuine market wizard or fund manager with actual capital under management.
- you are time-poor, want to focus and get practical trading results asap.
- you resonate with the idea that community, collaboration & support are going to make all the difference.
- you have a business-mind and at least have a hunch that true trading success involves a number of factors, including strategy, process, knowledge & principles (not just that ‘one strategy’).
- you are already an advanced quant. Please reach out!


Learn through the work
My own teaching grows out of the research and development I do myself: investigating trading ideas, testing assumptions, building tools and considering how strategies fit together.
Through courses and The Trader’s Edge workshops, I explain the methods & process behind that work so you can apply them to your own development.
The aim is to help you understand the process, assess the evidence and make better-informed research decisions.
Keep learning inside the Collective
Courses give you a structured way to study a subject. The Collective gives you somewhere to keep working on it. They work together.
Bring questions to workshops, discuss ideas with other traders and follow research as it develops.
Core provides the community, regular workshops and selected courses. Alpha adds deeper access to courses, strategy packages, advanced research, tools and development process. Premium courses can be purchased on their own.
Check each course for its specific access details.

Can I try before purchasing?
You can do a number of things to get comfortable with what’s on offer. Start by subscribing to the podcast & try a free trial in the Collective. In there Simon will provide a stack of useful info, & introduce the faculty & courses.
What's the refund policy?
Jump into the Collective for a 3-day free trial. From there you’ll be able to preview courses (some are for Core, some for Alpha, some are Premium). Premium (paid) courses come with a full 14 day money-back guarantee if it doesn’t meet your needs. We are here to collaborate & mentor, not burn you.
Is there on-going support?
We think on-going support is critical, and it also takes a great deal of time & effort to deliver properly. This is largely why we build the Algo Collective community – so that we can continue to deliver meaningful support for as long as you like. Each course has its own free community too where you can chat with others who have done the course. Naturally we will compile follow-up questions & answer them in webinars, which are subsequently added to the course material. This whole process keeps everything up to date and relevant all the time!
