Robot Wealth (RW), a Western Australia-based trading education company, is celebrating a significant milestone as it reaches nine years of providing invaluable insights to traders worldwide. The company has become a prominent name in the trading sector as it has helped educate over a thousand retail traders through its highly acclaimed trading Bootcamps.
Established in 2015, Robot Wealth started as a blog, an initiative by its founder Kris Longmore, a self-taught systematic trader who transitioned from being an engineer to a hedge fund quant and later a principal at a proprietary trading firm. Kris documented his research, hoping to build meaningful connections and contribute to the learning of others in a similar situation.
When asked about the driving force behind this mission, Kris answered, "I've always had an insatiable fascination with markets, and I love working with tech. However, I also discovered my passion for teaching after working as a former English teacher in Russia and a local sports coach. Through RW, I get to indulge in both."
Kris later connected with James Hodges, the other half of the duo behind Robot Wealth. The two met through a small coincidence, with the latter joining Kris' online community out of curiosity about a piece of trading software. The initial exchange of knowledge eventually led to the beginnings of a groundbreaking collaboration, which prompted them to gradually exit other ventures to focus on Robot Wealth full-time.
James is a veteran in the finance world with almost two decades of experience in trading. He translated his institutional knowledge and a genuine passion for trading to the offerings of Robot Wealth, earning him the title of the ultimate Chairman of RW Slack. With their exceptional knowledge, experience, and dedication, the duo known for wearing Hawaiian shirts while trading developed the RW platform into what it is today.
After a couple of years, Robot Wealth has grown into a thriving community of over 500 members from six continents, supported by its own successful prop trading division. Robot Wealth's remarkable growth is attributed to its commitment to education. Its Trade Like a Quant Bootcamp offers a comprehensive four-week program, combining strategic insights, market intuition development, and essential quantitative techniques. This course aims to provide novice and seasoned traders with the knowledge and tools required to navigate financial markets. To cater to the needs of participants, it delivers instructional content via a combination of video tutorials, live webinars held weekly, presentation slides, and written materials.
Setting Robot Wealth apart is its unique approach to trading. The founder acknowledges that RW does not operate with the luxury of building a business around a specific edge or structural advantage, unlike other firms. Therefore, the company prioritizes being nimble and awake to opportunities. With this, RW has engaged in trades at opposite extremes, from high-frequency latency arbitrage in the crypto space to monthly seasonality trades in US exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
To guarantee the platform's continued growth and success, the RW team plans to enhance the accessibility of the Trade Like a Quant Bootcamp, its flagship offering, by making it more self-paced. Taking the course at their convenience would provide the participants with a more flexible and personalized educational experience. "We're also working on creating standalone courses that discuss specific topics of interest to traders in-depth," Kris added.
Robot Wealth has showcased the power of collaboration, passion, and dedication within its journey of nine years, from its humble beginnings as a personal blog to becoming a globally recognized trading education company. With the guidance of Kris and James, RW is set to further democratize access to valuable knowledge to help traders of all levels thrive in competitive financial markets.
