Build the System.
Become the System.
Most algo trading courses teach you to backtest. This one teaches you to ship — research infrastructure, feature selection, live broker execution, and cloud deployment on infrastructure you own and control.
9 Modules. One Deployed System.
You build one strategy — but with the architecture, tooling, and discipline that scales to ten without a rewrite. One signal. A professional system.
Architecture & Scope
What a production alpha pipeline actually looks like. What we're building, what we're simplifying, and why.
Professional Architecture Patterns
Strategy protocol, registry pattern, config-driven execution. Adding a second strategy is a new config file — not a rewrite.
Research Infrastructure & Run Tracking
Every backtest run gets a run ID, config snapshot, and logged results. A result you can't reproduce is worthless.
Data Acquisition
Fetching, storing, and validating market data cleanly. Data quality checks that prevent garbage-in signals from reaching production.
Factor Research & Feature Selection
CFA-grounded factor construction. boruta-quant for temporal-aware feature selection — you don't guess which features matter, you grade them.
Signal Validation — Walk-Forward
Why in-sample backtests lie. Walk-forward methodology done correctly. Detecting curve fitting before it costs real money.
Execution Layer — ibapi
IBKR's official Python client. The EWrapper/EClient threading model explained line by line. Build a clean wrapper from scratch — no third-party risk.
Cloud Deployment — AWS Lambda
Lambda + EventBridge + SSM + CloudWatch. IAM least-privilege, secrets management, config-driven strategy loading. Infrastructure you own.
Monitoring & Alerting
Structured logging, CloudWatch dashboards, SNS alerts for every meaningful event. Dead man's switch pattern — know the system stopped running before the account statement tells you.
Why This Exists
Your AI Can't Teach You What to Build
You're going to use AI to build parts of this. So did I. But AI can't tell you that ib_insync will break in production, or that your backtest is overfitting, or that your Lambda stopped running three days ago. This gives you the professional skeleton, the validation, and the architecture patterns that make AI-assisted development actually safe when real money is on the line.
You Own the Infrastructure
QuantConnect, Blueshift, and Moonshot teach you to deploy to their platform — by design. When you leave, you know nothing about real cloud infrastructure. This course teaches Lambda + EventBridge + CloudWatch: infrastructure that lives in your AWS account, not theirs.
No Abstractions That Break
Most IBKR tutorials use third-party wrappers that have broken in production.
This course uses ibapi directly — IBKR's official client.
The EWrapper/EClient threading model, built from scratch, explained completely.
Content that doesn't exist anywhere else at this depth.
Built From Scar Tissue
This curriculum represents hundreds of hours of production pain — broken libraries, unreproducible backtests, feature selection that introduced lookahead bias, Lambda deployments that silently stopped. Every sharp edge exists because it was hit in production first. You skip all of it.
How It's Taught
The founding cohort is live sessions. After launch, content is available in all three formats.
Self-Paced Course Access
Recorded sessions, written guides, and complete code repositories. Work through the full 9-module curriculum at your own pace with lifetime access to all updates.
- Full recorded session library
- Complete annotated code repositories
- Written module guides
- Lifetime access including updates
Code Reviews & Walkthroughs
Submit your system for detailed async review. Architecture feedback, execution pattern critique, and risk analysis from someone who runs production trading infrastructure.
- Async code review with written feedback
- Architecture and design critique
- Execution and risk pattern analysis
- Priority Discord channel access
1-on-1 Development Sessions
Live pair programming and direct mentorship. Build your specific system with someone who has shipped production trading infrastructure for clients.
- Live pair programming sessions
- Custom scope for your system
- Architecture planning and review
- Ongoing access between sessions
Lock In Before It Launches
I spent hundreds of hours figuring out what I'm about to hand you in 9 modules. The threading model, the broken libraries, the backtest I couldn't reproduce, the feature selection that silently introduced lookahead bias — all of it. The founding cohort gets this at the lowest price it will ever be, and gets to tell me what to prioritize first.
What You Get
- Full 9-module curriculum — all sessions live and recorded
- ibapi threading walkthrough built from scratch
- boruta-quant feature selection integrated into the pipeline
- Run tracking system — every research decision auditable
- Lambda deployment on infrastructure you own
- Direct access channel + lifetime access to all updates
- Founding price locked forever — never pay more
How It Works
