Hey,
This is the last call before Forge Learn kicks off.
Session 1 starts tomorrow, Saturday, June 6 at 11:00 AM ET.
The course is six live sessions focused on building the full system around an alpha idea: data, research, validation, execution, deployment, monitoring, plus proper AI guardrails.
The goal isn't to hand you a magic strategy. It's to teach you how to think and operate like the owner of a serious trading system. You'll learn how to move from raw idea to a clean, auditable paper-trading pipeline without losing track of your assumptions, configs, validation evidence, or hidden failure modes.
In Session 1 we'll lay out the complete map. Before we write any code, we'll explore the foundational questions every serious system owner needs to answer.
I've taught related material in lectures for years. A few student comments:
"One of the best lecturers in terms of clarity... explained step by step with rationale, pros and cons and usual pitfalls."
"Today was really good. I learned more new material today than is typical in most lectures."
"Excellent session on practical approach on making strategy."
Forge Learn is more focused and deeper than a one-off lecture. It's built around one core outcome: you leave knowing how to own the full process, not just write scripts inside someone else's framework.
