Trading as a Business

Capturing and Keeping Market Generated Wealth

Course Description

This is a laser-focused course for aspiring hedge fund managers, portfolio managers, and algo traders. If you’re new to trading, the main track for this course lets you develop a momentum-based system for investing or trading. We will add depth to the system week by week using various metrics, backtests, and strategies to reduce risk and increase growth. For intermediate students who already have workable systems, we’ll go through the steps to report and monitor your activity and set up the appropriate structure for you to pay less in taxes. We’ll discuss and work on the steps necessary to structure, manage, and get investors for a hedge fund or other appropriate vehicle for advanced students.

No Programming Necessary

Let’s face it, programming can make your life a lot simpler by collecting and manipulating data. It can provide nice graphs and some good insights. But your brain is STILL the more powerful instrument. We’re going to start with a simple visual way to make choices when you’re trading. You’ll find it simple, intuitive, and almost impossible to explain to a computer. But you don’t have to.
Some facility with Excel will definitely be helpful though. And if you are a Pythonista, there will be loads of great ideas for you, too.

Eliminate Gut-Wrenching Losses & Overnight Suspense

Losing money is painful. You get twice the pain from losing $100 as whatever pleasure you may take in winning $100. That’s just programmed into your brain. If you have been trading for any time at all, you’ve probably:

Sold at the top of the day’s price
Waited too long for a loss to turn around
Felt creeping anxiety and dread
Wonder where all the money you made had gone

And even if you do really well, there’s always that surprise tax bill that wipes out 30% or more of your profits, turning an exceptional performance into something mediocre. We will explore ways to put a stop to that.

This Course is Highly Customized

Weekly assignments test where you are at in your particular journey and the next week’s lesson will zero in on your stuck spots and questions. The class time is structured to work best with active engagement and discussion. It’s a not a place to sit back and take notes.

Trade with the Instructor

The class project is to develop a simple system that aims at a 50% annual return. We’ll begin each cohort with a $50,000 account and you’ll see the methods, the glitches, the mistakes, and the profits along the way. You can participate in premarket and post-market trading live if you wish. Replays of the week will be made available so you can see what type of thinking created each trade.

Course Learning Outcomes

Trade in any market without fear or worry.
Keep more of what you make for more consistent results.
Create a system that provides reliable income for you and those you care about.
Properly monitor your system to track progress and detect weakness BEFORE it becomes a problem.

Testimonials from the Lumiwealth Community

Join the thousands of students that are already learning at Lumiwealth

“I didn’t want to buy a course of just videos. I think having somebody to interact with, like you’ve been great both on Discord and chat… Then the class has been interactive but also you’ve hopped on a call and just helped me out which has been game changing. So that’s why I chose Lumiwealth, it was really because you guys offer that level of care.”

“There’s people coming from way different backgrounds, some people are day traders like me others are more in the field of finance, and so it was really cool to just meet everybody and interact.”

– Agim Salija

“The class has been great. It has done exactly what I sought out. I have learned techniques to help me assess the quality of trading strategies which I didn’t have before. Overall, it has boosted my ability to create a trading bot and more easily test strategies in a way that I wasn’t able to before.”

“For anyone who is looking to learn Python, Finance, and putting together the dots in order to create their own strategy or enter the job market, I think this would be a great course to take.”

– Rene Serulle

“Absolutely would recommend the classes. I went live with this trading bot a couple of weeks ago and right now I have almost made 80% of the money I spent on the course itself back from the bot itself. The trading strategies that I learned in the class paid for the class itself. I don’t think there is a better return on investment.”

“Learning from you was one of the biggest advantages. The depth of your experience you have and sharing that with all of us is amazing. To have that kind of person who’s willing to teach other people and help them enhance their lives is amazing.”

– Santayan Paul

“I liked the variety of things being covered the most during the classes, not only how to set up a bot and connect to a broker, but also CAGR, long-term economic data, and things that I wasn’t really thinking about. For example, how long term trends can affect short-term prices. I liked the overall breadth of the class and how it wasn’t just all about the algo trading portion of it; there was a lot of how and what too.”

“I would recommend Lumiwealth’s classes to anybody who wants to understand and take more control of their trading. To anyone who wants to learn about Python/technology and trading and how these two things interplay with each other.”

– Joel Brass

A practical approach to coding and finance. The instructor makes you think deep about where the data is arriving from, how to use it, and where to get it.A real resume-worthy course that won't go away for a while.

I enjoyed my time at Lumiwealth Academy, as I got to learn how to code with python under a financial and investment setting. After Lumiwealth, I was able to secure a job at BNY Mellon

There are people coming from way different backgrounds, some people are day traders like me others are more in the field of finance, and so it was really cool to just meet everybody and interact.

I would recommend Lumiwealth’s classes to anybody who wants to understand and take more control of their trading. To anyone who wants to learn about Python/technology and trading and how these two things interplay with each other.
