Build Your Own Investment/Trading Algorithm: Markets, Risk, and Python/AI

From 134.89 C$ /h

Hi! I’m John, a Swiss quantitative trader-developer with an MSc in Finance. I run 30+ systematic strategies (equities, FX, crypto) and love turning complex finance into clear, practical steps you can actually use.

What you’ll learn (mix & match)

Financial markets & macro basics: order types, ETFs vs. stocks, costs/slippage, yield curves, policy shocks, gold/Treasuries as hedges.

Investing & portfolio: asset allocation, volatility targeting, drawdown control, rebalancing.

Build your own strategy: momentum/mean reversion/factors, feature design, backtesting with costs, out-of-sample validation.

AI for finance (intro): simple NLP/sentiment overlays and evaluation pitfalls.

Execution hygiene: from backtest to real-life constraints; monitoring and post-trade review.

How my classes work

Short concept → hands-on build → recap & next steps.

You leave each session with templates, checklists, and notebooks you can reuse.

Who this is for:

Motivated beginners to advanced: high-school (16+), university, career switchers, and active investors.

Coding not required—helpful but optional. I adapt the pace and provide starter notebooks.

Typical 5-lesson path (example)

► EXPERT BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING, FINANCE & ECONOMICS TUTOR FROM SWITZERLAND

I completed my Master’s degree in Business Information Systems at a Swiss University of Applied Sciences, where my academic background strongly combined business, finance, economics, mathematics, analytical thinking and problem-solving. This technical and business-oriented foundation shaped the way I teach today: clearly, logically and with a strong focus on real understanding.

I explain business, accounting and economic concepts step by step so students understand the logic behind the theory and can apply it confidently in exams.

► I CONNECT THEORY WITH REAL BUSINESS EXAMPLES.
Business and economics become easier when students can see how concepts work in real life. I use practical examples to make topics clear, relevant and memorable.

► I SIMPLIFY COMPLEX CALCULATIONS.
In Accounting and Finance, I break calculations into clear steps so students understand what is given, which formula is needed and how to reach the final answer correctly.

► I TRAIN EXAM TECHNIQUE CAREFULLY.
Students learn how to structure answers, use key terminology, analyse case studies, justify decisions and manage time under exam conditions.

► I ADAPT EVERY LESSON TO THE STUDENT.
Every student learns differently, so I adjust my explanations, pace, examples and practice questions to match the student’s exact level and goals.

► YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH IB, A-LEVEL, IGCSE & INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL STUDENTS

De fleste som prøver å lære trading feiler ikke fordi de er dumme –
de feiler fordi de lærer feil ting, i feil rekkefølge, fra feil folk.

Da jeg selv var ny, brukte jeg flere år på informasjon som senere viste seg å være ren støy. Mye av det som finnes gratis på nettet er direkte misvisende, og mange “mentorer” kan i praksis ikke trade selv.

Det tok meg rundt 2,5 år, med ca. 4 timer daglig studering daglig, før jeg begynte å se stabile resultater. Hadde jeg hatt en ekte mentor som viste meg hva som faktisk betyr noe – og i riktig rekkefølge – og kan direkte svare på spørsmål - ville jeg spart enormt med tid, penger og frustrasjon.

Det er akkurat det jeg tilbyr videre.

Kurset er på Norsk. Det finnes svært lite informasjon og læringsmateriale der ute som er på Norsk. Alt jeg lærte, lærte jeg på engelsk fordi det var omtrent det eneste som var tilgjengelig.

⸻

HVA DETTE MENTORSHIPPET HANDLER OM:

Dette mentorshipet er for deg som ønsker å lære trading med ett klart mål:
å tjene penger i markedet på en realistisk, strukturert og repeterbar måte.

Trading er en av få ferdigheter hvor du:
- kan jobbe når og hvor du vil
- trengs kun 1-2 timer daglig jobbing
- ikke har et inntekts-tak
- ingen sjef, ingen ansatte. ingen inventar.
- kan skalere inntekten kraftig når ferdigheten først sitter

I dette mentorshipet lærer jeg deg nøyaktig hvordan jeg selv trader markedet, steg for steg.
Ingen fluff. Ingen tilfeldige strategier. Kun konsepter som faktisk brukes i praksis.

⸻

HVA DU KONKRET LÆRER - OG HVORFOR DET FUNGERER:

Jeg lærer deg bank-level, algoritmiske mønstre og signaturer i markedet som gjentar seg nesten hver eneste dag, innenfor bestemte tidsvinduer.

Du lærer blant annet:
- hvorfor tid er viktigere enn pris
- hvilke tidsrom på dagen som gir høyest sannsynlighet
- presise entry- og exit-regler
- risikostyring som beskytter kapitalen
- hvordan du kan trade effektivt uten å sitte på chart hele dagen

Personlig trader jeg maks 1–2 timer daglig, nettopp fordi jeg vet hva jeg leter etter, og når.

Konseptene fungerer på Forex, aksjer, crypto, futures og commodities.

⸻

PENGER OG KAPITAL:

De fleste nybegynnere forstår ikke det reelle potensialet i trading.

Når du først har ferdigheten, er det kapitalen som avgjør hvor mye du kan tjene – ikke hvor flink du er teknisk.

Jeg startet selv med små beløp. Å tjene 3 % på en liten konto gir nesten ingenting.
Å tjene de samme 3 % på en stor konto er en helt annen virkelighet.

Derfor hjelper jeg studentene mine med å:
- bli funded hos prop firms (f.eks. FTMO)
- trade kontoer på $50k, $100k, $200k+
- skalere inntekten uten å risikere egen kapital

Jeg trader selv store funded-kontoer og har flere studenter som har:
- blitt konsistente
- bestått prop firm challenges
- skalert egenkapital
- tjener betydelige beløp sammenlignet med tidligere jobbinntekt
- hatt muligheten til å si opp jobben og trade på fulltid

Jeg lover ingen raske penger – men potensialet er enormt hvis dette gjøres riktig.

⸻

STRUKTUR, OPPFØLGING OG ANSVAR:

Mentorshipet er strukturert og personlig.
Du kan forvente:
- oppgaver og lekser som gir øyetrening og repetisjon
- tett oppfølging slik at feil rettes tidlig
- få bekreftelse på at du har fullt forstått temaet og er klar til å gå videre

Noen er helt ferske, andre har erfaring – undervisningen tilpasses ditt nivå og læringsstil.
Målet er at du blir selvstendig og konsistent, ikke avhengig av meg.

⸻

EKSTRA VERDI:

Som student får du også:
- COT-data (bank-posisjonering)
- programmer, verktøy og ressurser jeg selv har betalt mye for
- hjelp til å bestå prop firm challenges eller skalere egenkapital
- personlige innspilte læringsvideoer hvis du trenger det
- innsikt i trades jeg selv tar slik at vi kan tjene penger sammen

Jeg utvikler også en EA-robot for automatisert trading. Når den er ferdig vil den selges separat, men studenter får tilgang uten ekstra kostnad.

⸻

AVSLUTNING:

Jeg tar maks 3 studenter samtidig for å sikre solid personlig oppfølging. Kvalitet over kvantitet.

Jeg er så trygg på metodene jeg lærer bort at:
Hvis du følger reglene og ikke blir profitabel, refunderer jeg hele beløpet.

Dette mentorshipet er bygget slik at det er det eneste mentorshipet jeg selv skulle ønske jeg hadde da jeg startet.

Har du spørsmål, er det bare å sende meg en melding.
