This course picks up where the Algo Trading Start-Up course leaves off.

You already know how Expert Advisors work. Now it’s time to learn how to trade them together — as a structured portfolio, not a collection of random robots.

Over five sections, you’ll follow the exact workflow used to build and manage real EA portfolios on live and funded accounts. Every example comes from actual trading — not theory.

You’ll start with the logic behind portfolio trading, move through capital allocation and EA selection, and finish with live tracking and scaling. By the end, you’ll have a repeatable framework you can apply to your own accounts immediately.

This course covers the operational side only — no MQL5 coding, no strategy building software required.
