The first group of traders has now completed the Quant Edges Swing Trading Course, and the feedback we received has been tremendous. The course is self-paced, and all Q&A sessions were documented and recorded, so you won’t miss out any anything if you decide to take it now.

Below is a sampling of the feedback we received:

The course is well organized and well presented. The level of detail and coverage was impressive. It was great to see the thought process involved when evaluating an edge. I especially liked the spreadsheets because of their detail and sorting capabilities. This allowed me to see how strategies performed in different environments. The Amibroker code was also a big plus.

I had done no quant studies or analysis before this course and was looking for a good intro and this one was excellent. It gave me good insight into how to look for tendencies via raw studies, try to combine those into a strategy and test that. And Rob expanded the course to various areas to lots of interesting and (to me) new ideas I hadn’t thought of such as Double B, SOMA flows and that you can’t rely on historical NYSE/SPX opening data, among many of the gems and insights of the course. This is a course whose material I’ll need to go through 4 or 5 times to really absorb.

Learned a lot about how quantitative trading works and it gave me a great stepping stone into learning how to develop systems and motivated me to learn how to code in AFL and use Amibroker, which I did not even know existed prior to the course. Basic systems coding in Amibroker was surprisingly easy to learn coming from a non programming background.

Rob put in great effort to continue to build out the course through the Q&A and added content to provide more information for course participants. Rob’s effort and additional work moved this course from an 8 to a 10 for me.

The build up from tendencies (studies) to strategies was excellent. Discussion of the generally “right number” of indicators to have in a strategy. Having most of the studies/strategies be independent of Quantifiable Edges proprietary work (Aggregator, CBI) but also showing that they can be integrated is appreciated. The Fed and SOMA work was all new to me so really great and insightful. Providing the spreadsheets and Amibroker code – thank you! Good references for following work and reading (e.g., Bandy’s work). The extra effort Rob put in to answer a boat load of questions in each section was well appreciated. That helped round out much of the material in the course and put things in context.

Looking at how each input (the vix, days up/down etc) affects returns was great. The best section to me was the one that put several of the inputs together and studied how to use them in conjunction with each other to build a robust system.

I am more of a position trader (2-8 weeks). Even though the timeframe was too short for my taste, I learned plenty from your research process, explanations and techniques. Thanks!

Informative, well explained, and for me just plain fun!

I cannot compliment you enough on the depth and detail you go into during the course. Though I have traded for many years, the value I received from this course was incredible.

Since new course participants will only have access to the recordings of the Q&A sessions, each new purchase comes complete with 1 hour of Q&A / consulting from Rob. Join our group of graduates and incorporate quant edges into your swing trading today!

The last two years Quantifiable Edges readers helped me raise over $4000 each year for Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and this year I am again upping the incentive for people to donate!  I am happy for any size donation, but I have again created 2 donation levels this year so that people are incented to give more:

Thank You Level:

One bit of research that Quantifiable Edges has become known for are the many studies I have published on Fed Days. In fact, you could say I wrote the book on Fed Days. And the pdf version of that book sells for $25. But between now and June 30^th I will send you a zip file containing the following if you make any size donation to my MS fund raiser page.

1. The Quantifiable Edges Guide to Fed Days (pdf version)
2. My “Fed Day” code for both Tradestation and Amibroker (new this year) that identifies every Fed Day from 1980 –2020.  (Updated from last year’s code with the new scheduled Fed meeting dates).
3. Text file versions of the code in case you do not use Tradesation or Amibroker, but still want the full list of dates, or to translate the code into another program for your own testing.

Note that the code has only been offered with the book as part of the MS fundraiser. So even if you already have the book – make a donation and get the code!  Or if you donated last year, get the updated code!

Big Thank You Level:

Donate $35 or more and you will get everything above and I will also include a coupon good for $50 off any Quantifiable Edges Products, other than recurring (gold or silver) subscriptions.  This includes systems, courses, code, or research that Quantifiable Edges has to offer.  And if you want to use the coupon towards the new Quant Edges Swing Trading Course between now and when fundraising ends, I’ll make that $50 coupon a $150 coupon!  Quantifiable Edges will be coming out with more products later this year.  So even if you already own everything, you can still apply your $50 coupon to future offerings.  There is no expiration date.  And while it can only be used once per person, if you donated last year and have not yet used that coupon, then I can set it up so you can combine the 2018 and 2019 $50 coupons into one $100 coupon if you wish.

Why am I doing this?

Check out my personal fundraising page to learn the story of how I became involved in raising money for MS.

I’ll put in the training, endure the pain, and brave the traffic, but I need your help in fundraising efforts!

The Process:

1) Go to my personal fund raising page:

https://main.nationalmssociety.org/goto/olderslower

2) Make a donation of any size (but feel free to be generous!).  Note: The MS donation page makes it look like the min amount is $35.  But you can click the “other amount” button on the right and enter whatever amount you feel appropriate.  ($35 is the minimum to get the $50 coupon.)  Even small gifts are greatly appreciated!

3) Send an email to support@quantifiableedges.com with your receipt from the MS Society, and within 24 hours we will send you the above Quantifiable Edge Fed Day MS Ride package, (if your donation is $35 or more, please specify whether you prefer the $50 off anything coupon or the $150 off the Quant Edges Swing Trading Course). If you don’t receive the package in 24 hours, feel free to send us a 2^nd email, because that means we likely missed the 1^st one, or post a comment below letting us know we somehow missed it!

Thanks for your support and generosity! I hope the Quantifiable Edges Fed Day MS Ride package will pay you back your donation size and much more in your trading accounts!  And I hope together we can make a big positive difference in the fight against MS!
