Don't sweat it if you don't have all the required Self-Assessment (SA) - it's rare to find people who are interested in getting into crypto-algorithmic trading and are willing to put in the work. In our free time, we're happy to help you out by steering you away from the rabbit holes created by academics or self-proclaimed experts who just want pageviews, clicks, and sales. We can guide you through the process so you can try everything out on your own time if you're a quick learner and excited to enter the space.

What We Mean by "Quick Learner"

When we say "quick learner," we're not expecting you to become an expert overnight. We mean someone who:

• Can pick up new concepts when given proper resources and guidance
• Isn't afraid to ask questions and experiment with code
• Shows steady progress over weeks and months, not days
• Has the persistence to work through challenging problems

Our Approach: No Academic Rabbit Holes

The algo-trading world is full of overly complex academic papers and courses that sound impressive but don't help you build real, profitable systems. Instead, we focus on:

• Practical application over theoretical perfection
• Real market conditions rather than idealized backtests
• Robust systems that work consistently, not just in perfect scenarios
• Incremental learning that builds confidence step by step

What "Putting in the Work" Actually Looks Like

We're not talking about 80-hour weeks or burning yourself out. Sustainable progress means:

• Consistent daily practice - even 30-60 minutes counts
• Hands-on coding with real market data
• Building and testing small strategies before scaling up
• Learning from failures and iterating on your approach
