Test a strategy before you trust it

The course follows the mental model behind a live, AFSL-licensed quantitative strategy. Win rate sets how hard you can size and how much losing you can sit through.

Combining uncorrelated edges reduces risk, which is why we run mean reversion, trend long and trend short side by side. Crashes can’t be predicted, so we manage risk and position for the rally afterwards. Asset selection means matching the engine to the market regime.

What you’ll learn

By the end you’ll understand the building blocks of a working systematic strategy.

Day 1: Probabilities, the math of an edge

Profit factor, expected losses in a row, and how win rate sets how aggressively you can size and how long you can sit through a bad run. Plus why combining mean reversion and trend following in the same book reduces risk.

Day 2: Finding an entry

How to time entries using mean reversion (buying the dip) and trend following (breakouts and volatility breakouts), with NASDAQ 100 backtests for each. Why systematic shorting is hard, and the structurally different way the live strategy solves it.

Day 3: Finding an exit

Why a poor exit can erase the profit from a good entry. The case for volatility-adjusted ATR stops over fixed-percent stops, and why stop discipline decides whether you survive a bad run.

Day 4: Asset selection, crashes and risk management

What makes an asset class tradeable, how the strategy responds once a crash starts, and how to size each position so a normal sequence of losers doesn't take you out.

Day 4 continued: Advanced edges

Two structural edges that only work on top of a tested strategy.

Day 5: Putting it all together

How the four concepts above run as a real system at MFAM. The 15-leg, three-engine Quantitative Leveraged L/S ETF Strategy, run entirely on fixed rules.

The strategy trades leveraged ETFs, which are high risk and can decay in volatile or sideways markets. General advice only. Full disclosures on the strategy page.

Questions

Is the course free?

Yes.

When do the lessons arrive?

Day One lands in your inbox immediately, then one lesson per day for the next four days.

What happens after the five days?

We send you our research and strategy updates by email. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Is this personal advice?

No. It is general advice only and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs.

Does the course cover the risks?

Yes. Exits and stops have their own lesson, and Day 4 covers crashes and position sizing. The live strategy trades leveraged ETFs, which are high risk and can decay in volatile or sideways markets, and you could lose a large part, or all, of the money you invest.

What does MFAM do with my email?

We use it to send the five lessons and afterwards our research and strategy updates, sent through Mailchimp, which stores data in the United States. The Privacy Policy covers how to access or correct your information.
