A seven-lesson self-study programme that takes you from installing the QUIK terminal to running robots on stocks, futures and currency pairs with a risk rule you set yourself.
You have probably seen the pitch: a robot that trades while you sleep, taking hundreds of small moves out of the market every day. The software part is real. What the pitch leaves out is everything around it — the terminal settings, the commission on each contract, the size of the position, and the market regime the strategy was actually built for.
Most people who buy a robot install it, press start and let it run on default settings. On a quiet sideways day it looks fine. Then a trend arrives, the position grows, the commission adds up, and a week of small gains disappears in one afternoon. The robot did exactly what it was told. The problem was the instructions.
This programme is about those instructions. Seven lessons take you from installing the QUIK terminal to running robots on stocks, futures and currency pairs, with a calculation for risk and position size that comes before anything goes live.
By the end of the seven lessons you can set up and run the whole chain yourself.
From a clean machine to a working terminal with the robot connected.
Understand what each control does before you touch it.
Match the mode to the market condition instead of leaving it on default.
Index approach, ready-made screening services, or your own reading of the financial statements.
Know when a trade is worth taking and when the fees eat it.
One calculation that applies to stocks, futures and currency pairs.
Zones for short entries and zones for long entries, with a confirmation rule.
Contract specifications, margin and the settings that change with them.
So the terminal keeps running when your own computer is switched off.
Before a robot places its first order, you need three numbers: what one price step is worth on the instrument, what a round trip in commission costs, and how much of your account you are willing to lose on a single trade. Without them, a strategy cannot be sized and a run of losses cannot be survived.
The course treats this as the core exercise. You work through the tick value on a stock, compare it with the commission your broker charges, and then derive the position size from a risk limit you set yourself. On futures the same logic applies with a different contract specification, and the lessons walk through that version too.
Only after that do the strategy settings make sense. A trend-following mode and a range mode behave differently, and the same position size is not appropriate for both. The lessons show where each mode earns and where each mode bleeds.
The programme is seven recorded lessons that you watch in order, at your own pace. Each one is a screen recording: the terminal is open, the settings are shown, and the steps are performed rather than described. You can pause, rewind and repeat a step at the terminal before moving on.
You keep access to the lessons for twelve months, so you can come back to a lesson when you are setting up a new instrument, adding a second robot or moving the whole installation to a remote machine. A support chat is available for questions about the terminal, the robot settings and the calculations.
You will get the most out of it if you follow along on your own computer with the terminal installed. Nothing in the course requires programming experience — the robots are configured through the terminal, not written from scratch.
Seven modules, each one a recorded lesson with its own practical task at the terminal.
Screen walkthroughs of every step, from installation to autostart.
The order of operations, so nothing is skipped on a fresh machine.
The calculation shown on a stock and repeated on a futures contract.
Trend, range and pyramiding modes, and when each one fits.
Provider choice, installation and autostart in one sequence.
Return to any lesson when you add an instrument or a second robot.
Ask about the terminal, the settings and the calculations while you learn.
Read the lessons, try the setup, and decide without pressure.
It will not promise you a monthly return. Automated trading carries real risk, and a strategy that performs in one market condition can lose in another. The lessons are honest about that: they show how a robot behaves in a trend and in a range, and where the losses come from.
It will not choose your broker or your deposit for you, but it does explain what to look for: access to the QUIK terminal, a commission low enough for a strategy that trades often, and an account size that lets you size positions sensibly. On the Russian market a strategy of this kind can produce hundreds of trades a day, so commission is not a detail.
It will not replace practice. The course gives you the setup and the calculations; the decisions about capital and risk remain yours, and the material is written on the assumption that you will accept that.
You finish with a working setup: QUIK installed and configured, a robot connected, and a written risk rule for each instrument you trade. The chain from a fresh machine to a running robot is no longer a mystery you have to reverse-engineer from forum posts.
You know how to build a stock list, how to check a bond's yield, how to read overbought and oversold zones, and how to move the whole installation to a remote desktop so the terminal keeps working when your computer is off.
Most importantly, you can look at a strategy and say what it needs — which market regime, which position size, which commission — instead of pressing start and hoping.
The seven lessons are recorded and can be watched in a few sittings. Most people take one lesson per session and then spend time at the terminal repeating the steps. Two to three hours a week for the first month is a realistic pace, and it is entirely yours to set.
No. The robots are configured through the QUIK terminal with ready-made settings; you are not writing code. You do need to be comfortable installing software and following a technical walkthrough on your own computer.
A Windows computer, a brokerage account with a broker that provides access to the QUIK terminal, and the terminal itself. The first lesson covers installation, so you can begin with nothing but the account.
The course explains how position size and risk depend on account size, and the source material suggests starting small on cheaper instruments while you practise, then increasing the account only as your skills develop. Whatever the size, it should be money you can afford to lose.
As soon as the payment is confirmed you receive access to the course area with all seven lessons and the support chat. Access runs for twelve months from the date of purchase.
Screen-recorded video lessons with the terminal open, so you see each setting being applied rather than hearing it described. Each module ends with a practical task you repeat on your own machine.
Yes. The lessons remain in your account for twelve months, which is enough time to work through them once, practise, and return to a module when you add a new instrument or move to a remote desktop.
Stocks, futures and currency pairs, all through the QUIK terminal. Bonds and asset allocation are covered as part of the investment strategy module, so you can see how the robot fits into a wider portfolio.
No, and no honest course can promise that. A robot executes a strategy; the result depends on the market condition, the position size and the commission. The course is built around controlling those three things rather than around a promise of income.
You have 14 days from purchase to ask for a refund. If the programme is not what you expected, write to support within that window and the payment is returned.
