Professional tracks
Eight specializations to choose after completing the common Core.
When to choose
A track is a specialization, not an introductory route. First complete the common Core: the Foundation chapters required by your learning path and Advanced A and B. Then choose according to the role you want to pursue.
Each track lists its most important Advanced domains:
Code trading rules and manage a group of systematic strategies through backtests, OOS tests, and robustness analysis.
Trade perpetual/futures carry, positioning, and events around Funding, OI, Basis, and Liquidation.
Build signals from wallets, holding distributions, stablecoins, and exchange balances.
Assess regimes and allocate risk across assets using rates, liquidity, the dollar, and risk appetite.
Quote both sides and manage spread, inventory, adverse selection, and latency.
Trade volatility itself: options, implied versus realized volatility, and volatility term structure.
Manage a multi-strategy portfolio: capital allocation, risk budgets, correlation, and attribution.
Use AI Agents for research, data, risk control, and reviews, subjecting every AI proposal to deterministic risk checks.
How to choose
- Still unsure: start with Track A, Systematic Trader. Its statistics, backtesting, and risk controls underpin every other track.
- Only Crypto derivatives: Track B focuses on Funding, OI, Basis, and liquidation, starting from Chapter 18.
- Want to manage capital: Track G, Portfolio Trader, leads to Advanced F · Institutional trading.
- Want to use AI: Track H requires deterministic risk checks for every AI proposal. Read AI Tutor and learning records first.
