Proposed 2-day workshop and live trading event, updated May 16, 2022

To help meet the strong demand for Al Brooks to engage in live trading events, Al is considering holding a 2-day workshop in Orlando, Florida, on Wednesday and Thursday November 2^nd and 3^rd, 2022.

We have been inundated with requests from traders all over the world to hold such events and we are expecting the event will be sold out quickly. We would like our BTC students to have front-of-the-line access to our events, so that they get the most out of their BTC course investment.

As a BTC student, you will be able to pre-register on this site before the workshop is publicly offered. Early-bird registration will open before end May for just US$100 to reserve your spot. This is fully refundable if the date and location does not work out for your schedule, or should event be cancelled for any reason.

Preliminary event details

Al Brooks and Ali Moin-Afshari (Al’s hedge fund manager friend) will deliver presentations for 2 hours each on day 1, in the late morning and afternoon, with an evening social event. Both would demonstrate live day trading on the second full day.

Orlando, Florida, is a good option for a live event because many guests might want to combine the workshop with a family vacation. A MoneyShow event will be held in Orlando immediately preceding the event on October 30 through November 1, 2022.

We would hire a facility where everyone would have a table and an internet connection, in case they wanted to piggyback on the live trading. This would require us to limit number of attendees to ensure delivery of a high quality workshop.

Al would swing trade and focus on the open and end of the day, and Ali would scalp all day long.

Ali is very detailed and would provide a lot of support material for attendees.

Your event presenters

Al Brooks is a full time professional price action day trader who understands what a trader goes through to achieve his goal of making money, and he is a strong advocate for individual traders. Al teaches you how to trade online like a professional with his Brooks Trading Course videos, his chat room, his best selling price action trading books, and through the many articles and media extracts on this website. 

Ali Moin-Afshari is the co-founder and CEO of Advanced Technical Methods, Inc., a quant investment management startup firm based in Toronto, Canada. Ali has been in Al’s trading room for many years, and his view of price action is very similar to Al’s. Ali is an excellent trader as well as software engineer, and he has created many effective trading algorithms, which he will trade during the workshop. You can read Ali’s excellent Becoming a professional price action trader article here for an example of his high-quality material.

Ali’s presentation

As an engineer, I am a hard-to-convince person. My decisions are data-driven, so when I began learning price action trading, I had to test each concept to gather statistical data in order to prove it to myself that it works. I have written programs for almost every price action setup and back- and forward-tested them and studied the data.

My goal for this workshop is to demonstrate the systematic approach to price action trading, using rule-based discretionary systems. In this approach, the computer is the primary decision maker and the trader makes the final go/no-go decision.

The common belief in the literature is that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to build systems that work intraday on ES futures without having to tweak them regularly. I will show you that is not the case and you do not need sophisticated AI or complex software to do so.

I will explain the technology and the design philosophy behind one of my systems, to illustrate how a discretionary price action concept could be turned into a very effective computerized trading algorithm. For those who have an IT background, it would then be easy to turn it into computer code.

I will also show test results and system performance statistics of this system.

So, you will see a system at work in live trading, then understand its technology and design philosophy, and finally see its performance data over a long period of time and learn about the techniques used to implement an idea as a trading system.

Cost

Cost will be US$2,000 for this 1^st 2-day event but BTC Members can benefit from a US$500 discount through an early-bird registration for US$100. Event cost would then be just US$1,500.

The event will be US$2,000 for non-BTC students and everyone who registers after the early-bird registration offer expires. Full details on registration dates will follow as soon event confirmed later this month.

Early-bird registration will be open for a limited period, so if you wish to be informed when early-bird registration is open simply signup through the mailing notification form below.

We will also try to negotiate group discounts with one of the hotels in the area. This information will be provided later this month to everyone who registers so that they can plan their trip in advance.

Feedback

Al and Ali need to get a sense of how much interest there would be for the event. If it is popular enough, they might hold similar events several times a year.

Final thoughts from Al

I have known Ali for about a decade. He is a good person who is honest, thoughtful, smart, disciplined and consistently profitable.

He and I have different approaches, but similar perspectives. He has successfully programmed several of my concepts and lots of his own. I believe that many of you might find his insights to be interesting and helpful.

For me, doing a workshop with Ali will be fun. Also, I think many traders would find it worthwhile to see him scalp and me swing trade for a day.

If enough traders enjoy it, he and I might do a couple workshops a year for a year or two, and we might also do some live-trading online webinars as well. I know a couple other traders who would be interested in trading live at future workshops if enough attendees find the Orlando workshop helpful.
