“Once you understand the cause-and-effect relationships of market microstructure everything will become self-evident — no secret sauce necessary. Just put in the work to learn, understand and apply your new skills in real trading.”
Intellectual independence
Learn to trade confidently and independent of existing trading dogma.
Own Your Infrastructure
Apply a systematic framework to manage risk and identify high-probability market scenarios.
Systematize Execution
Streamline your execution workflow by integrating AI-assisted logic into your custom trading strategies.
STEP 1:
Learning
This initial stage involves collecting knowledge about different market participants and their differing objectives and motivations.
STEP 2:
Understanding
Synthesize the acquired knowledge to build a coherent framework. The goal is to analyze how various trader types interact, anticipate their behavior, and develop a purposeful trading strategy.
STEP 3:
Application
Putting your understanding into practice through real trading. Apply strategies transforming theoretical insight into actionable skill, moving toward trading mastery.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Self-paced online course modules with optional AI-integration add-on
The course modules 01-08 of the CEED.accelerator give you the necessary foundation to develop your strategy based on objective terminology and actual cause-effect relationships.
Learn at your own pace. Take advantage of the free-trial access to Modules 1 and 2. Please contact us via the site-chat or email if you have any questions.
In the CEED.protocol add-on course module, you will learn how to integrate AI-validation into your own automated or hybrid trading system using Sierra Chart.
This course builds on the concepts of the CEED.accelerator and includes a software bridge between Sierra Chart and selected AI models. Completion of the CEED.accelerator is a pre-requisite for the CEED.protocol.
IS THIS PROGRAM RIGHT FOR ME?
The course modules are designed for traders seeking deep knowledge to achieve intellectual independence
What you will learn here:
Objective and data-based derivation of the following indicators that reflect institutional algo order flow and execution urgency both Intraday and in a weekly sequence:
#square-root rule for market impact of large orders | #volume delta structure and footprints | #relative transaction speed | #open interest levels in futures and equity options | #delta/gamma-hedging by market makers | #linear regression as urgency forecast tool | #interval VWAP for mean reversionÂ
Your Trading Experience
- BEGINNER
You are a new to trading and committed to explore the opportunities the financial markets offer. Luckily, you have not been exposed to too much outdated or misleading information. You’re in the right place to plant a seed for a scalable career path as a trader.
- EXPERIENCED
The trading pits died long ago but its outdated terminology and concepts survive to this day. It’s time to open your mind and replace the old with the new. Algorithmic trading drives the markets, so you owe it to yourself to get a better understanding of the difference between institutional versus HFT algos.
Your Trading Style
- DISCRETIONARY
Discretionary trading requires the most discipline but is also the most flexible for adjusting to changing trading environments. Deep knowledge of market microstructure gives you an edge over other traders competing for the same prize by anticipating institutional order flow.
- AUTOMATED
You are working on your own automated execution system and want to improve its performance. Similar to Newtonian mechanics where momentum = mass • velocity, we can use the square root rule to anticipate the market impact of urgent order flow. Learn how to integrate AI in your automation process.
Your Time Horizon
- SCALPER
Time horizon: minutes to hours
As a scalper you need to fully understand where you stand in this game of informed, and uninformed traders. HFTs own the short end and forecasting too far into the future requires information you don’t have. Understanding algo order flow is your best bet to capitalize on liquidity imbalances caused by other participants.
- SWING TRADER
Time horizon: hours to days
You only want to take very selective trades per day or week and identify locations with favorable risk/reward. Learn how order execution algos react when prices move away from their benchmark to confirm trends or pre-emptively exit trades before your stop gets hit.
Your Trading Instrument
- US STOCKS
In addition to a quantitative analysis of order flow, trading stocks also requires a qualitative component in stock selection and how related options and futures influence pricing dynamics. Adapting to the market environment is the key to be profitable in the long term. Use my many years of experience as a former SERIES 7-licensed equity prop trader in the US to get the ball rolling.
- FUTURES
Futures are macro-driven derivative products that are primarily used as hedging vehicles by larger market participants. Speculative traders and market makers are the other parties providing temporary liquidity in this game. Understanding market microstructure and how these players interact is the key to preparing for a trader career. I also held a SERIES 3-license in the past, so rest assured that I know a bit about futures.
