Things are moving quickly. It’s time to get prepared.

Volatility, quite frankly, is the best thing ever.

As we’ve trekked deeper into the weeds of more sophisticated trading operations, we’ve been able to pull more and more money out of the market each week:

While we’ve made great progress and still have new ideas and strategies to explore, there’s a slight problem.

Although we publicly share the code that goes with each strategy/experiment, our weekly pace has made it difficult for many of you to get setup and running these strategies on your own.

Without getting too ahead, there are more approaches currently being developed that are substantially more powerful than anything we’ve covered so far. So, while just reading and following along is perfectly fine, at this point, it would be a risk to not actively engage in our systems.

There’s plenty of alpha and profits to go around, so we believe it’s only right that we share. Because of this, we’ve created something new that will give all of our amazing readers the chance to eat:
