Our courses contain a mixture of trend following and mean reversion strategies. See the sample equity curves further down this page for more details.

Frequently Asked Questions


I trade forex, will I find this useful?
Our research is primarily focussed on US equities and ETFs. This is because we feel that the best opportunities are to be found in this area. We believe that beginner traders can save themselves a lot of money by avoiding the forex markets at first since these markets are highly efficient. Having said that, there is plenty of information that will be of use to forex traders, especially in Candlestick Analysis and Mental Models. There will also be future content that focuses on forex topics.
What about UK/Australian/European/Asian stocks?
We prefer to focus on US stocks because they are more liquid and we have considerable experience trading these markets. Historical data for US companies is also cleaner and goes back further so it’s more useful for analysis. However, we believe that our research can be well applied to other developed stock markets and we have had some success doing so.
I am a day trader, will I find this useful?
Absolutely. Although most of our research is based on end-of-day historical data it is possible to implement our strategies on shorter timeframes than presented. Trade systems can be setup so as to provide valuable watchlists and next day signals for day traders. There are also a handful of intraday strategies on the program and full code is provided.
Are the strategies accurate?
The strategies in Hedge Fund Trading Systems have been through out-of-sample testing for validation purposes and the code in Part One has been double checked for mistakes by an independent expert with 12 years Amibroker experience. This verification process includes checking for future leaks and execution errors. We have taken steps to avoid survivorship-bias in our results and we typically incorporate trading costs of $0.01 per share to account for commissions and slippage. However, we cannot guarantee that the strategies are completely error free or that they will perform exactly as shown in a backtest. The same goes for any other trading strategy or idea in the program. Please make sure you have read and understood the Terms of Use and Risk Warning before purchase.
Do the trading systems account for survivorship-bias?
The data we use (Norgate Data) includes delisted securities, historical constituents and is adjusted for capital events and cash dividends. This greatly reduces the chance of survivorship-bias in the results. You can read more about the data we use on the Norgate Data website.
Do I need Amibroker to enroll?
No, the strategies are designed in such a way that most of them can be run with free scanning tools. The rules are explained in detail so you can be sure to execute them correctly. The program also contains many trading strategies that were not developed in Amibroker. The Marwood Value Model, for example, was developed in Portfolio123 and Ranger 1.0 is built in Excel. However, we do recommend Amibroker as a software tool and having a subscription or free trial would be beneficial to the program.
What trading systems are included?
There are a mix of trading systems. The shortest is a day trading strategy for stocks and the longest trades on monthly timeframes. Most of the Amibroker systems trade stocks belonging to the S&P 1500 or Russell 3000 universe. Peter's volatility course trades volatility ETF's and utilises options contracts. The Marwood Value Model was designed in Portfolio123 and uses their own All Fundamentals database. Please see the individual course outlines for more details.
What if I am unhappy with the program?
Hedge Fund Trading Systems contains proprietary trading system formulas that we do not want shared around as doing so could greatly reduce their profitability. By purchasing the program you solely agree not to distribute or share any of the formulas found inside. Please make sure you read the full terms of use and risk warning before signing up. We feel our combined course bundle offers tremendous value, but if you aren't satisfied, contact us within 48 hours and a full refund will be provided.
How long do I have access to the program?
After enrolling, you will have unlimited access to the program including updates and new content for the duration of your membership - across any and all devices you own. Subscription memberships renew at your original purchase price and can be cancelled at any time.
Will I learn about Amibroker on this program?
Absolutely. We have several courses dedicated to Amibroker including Essentials For Amibroker, Mastering Amibroker AFL, Amibroker CBT Intensive and Build a Professional Trading System. The course Hedge Fund Trading Systems also contains a detailed back-test template and you will pick up plenty of Amibroker tips and techniques, particularly related to the back-testing of trading systems.
Is the program updated?
Yes. As a member of Access All Areas you can expect regular updates and new content. That might be a new course, a full trading strategy or useful article. We are constantly working to find new trading ideas and improve the quality of the program. On occasion, we may also introduce you to new materials that are not part of Access All Areas.
What else is included?
When you enrol in Access All Areas you gain access to all of our existing trading strategies and courses. You'll discover complete trading systems with code, a quantitative value investing model, a trend following course, a course on volatility, candlestick analysis, a course on trading psychology (mental models) and lots more besides. The program includes instructor support and will also be kept up to date with new material. On occasion, we may also introduce you to new materials that are not part of Access All Areas.
Do I need Norgate Premium Data?
All of our Hedge Fund Trading systems have been back-tested using data from Norgate Data. Subscription to Norgate for US stock data is beneficial but not required as we do go through the rules in detail and provide code for non-Norgate users.
Are these trading systems guaranteed to make money?
No trading strategy is guaranteed to make money as the future is never known. Anyone who claims otherwise is withholding the truth so the systems are best thought of as useful ideas for further research. They can be adapted and modified as you wish.

Here's what some people are saying about Marwood Research:

A Letter from Joe Marwood
Don't make this mistake

When I first started out building trading systems I thought I knew what I was doing. I would get some data, program some rules and then start trading whenever I got some nice results.

Soon enough, the market proved that I actually didn't have a clue. As you can imagine I experienced my share of heavy losses.

At that stage I didn't have any idea about key concepts such as out-of-sample testing, walk-forward analysis, look-ahead bias or survivorship-bias.

I was using software that was not equipped to the task and I was using data that I downloaded for free.

That data was so full of holes that attempting to test any type of strategy was pointless. But I carried on regardless because I so desperately wanted to make it work.

Whenever I had a winning trade I was fooled into thinking I was on track. But ultimately I lost money time and again.

Eventually I realised that something had to change and that's when I started to use Amibroker properly and I learnt how to build trading systems from scratch.

Now that I know about all the mistakes I made and what it takes to create a working strategy, it's embarrassing to think about all the things I was doing wrong when I first started.

I don't want you to make the same mistakes. Which is why I've created these courses and strategies which you can use and learn from.

Every course and every strategy that we produce is designed to help you find that elusive edge that you can use to become a better trader.

As I repeatedly stress in courses and blog posts, financial investing is extremely difficult. You are competing with the best of the best so you need to arm yourself with the right information.

Don't make the same mistakes I made. Enrol in our program and start your journey to more profitable trading.
