Foundation Skills That Matter

Building algorithmic trading expertise requires more than just technical knowledge

Risk Management First

Most traders focus on profits before they understand protection. We start every lesson with risk assessment because that's what separates successful traders from gamblers.

Start with position sizing rules before you write a single line of code

Data Quality Matters

Your algorithms are only as good as your data. Learn to identify clean datasets, handle missing information, and spot anomalies that could crash your trading system.

Bad data leads to bad decisions - always validate your sources

Backtesting Reality

Creating profitable backtest results is easy. Creating systems that work in live markets requires understanding slippage, latency, and market impact.

If your backtest looks too good, it probably is

Psychology & Discipline

Even automated systems require human oversight. Learn to manage the emotional challenges of watching algorithms trade your money in real time.

The hardest part isn't coding - it's trusting your system during drawdowns

Learning From Real Experience

"I spent two years chasing perfect indicators before I realized the market doesn't care about your backtests. Real trading education means preparing for the unexpected."

After working with hundreds of students across Asia-Pacific markets, I've seen the same mistakes repeated. The successful ones aren't necessarily the smartest - they're the ones who learn to adapt when their initial strategies fail.

That's why our approach focuses on building robust systems rather than optimizing for historical performance. You'll learn to think like a trader, not just program like a developer.

Your Learning Path

Here's how we structure the journey from basics to advanced algorithmic trading

Month 1-2: Market Foundation

Before you automate anything, understand what you're automating. We cover market structure, order types, and how Asian markets differ from Western ones.

Focus: Taiwan Stock Exchange mechanics and regional trading patterns

Month 3-4: Data & Analysis

Learn to collect, clean, and analyze market data. You'll work with real datasets from Taiwan and regional exchanges, not cleaned academic examples.

Focus: Building reliable data pipelines and handling market holidays

Month 5-6: Strategy Development

Design your first algorithms using proven frameworks. Start simple with mean reversion and momentum strategies before moving to complex models.

Focus: Paper trading your algorithms with real market conditions

Month 7-8: Risk & Portfolio

Advanced risk management, portfolio construction, and correlation analysis. Learn to manage multiple strategies simultaneously.

Focus: Position sizing and drawdown management techniques

Month 9+: Live Trading

Transition to live markets with proper safeguards. Monitor performance, adjust parameters, and handle the psychological aspects of automated trading.

Focus: System monitoring and when to intervene in automated trades
