About your instructor 

This course is taught by Matt Radtke. I have worked with Matt for over 8 years. We often consult with each other on AmiBroker questions or projects. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn the intricacies of the CBT. 

​Matt Radtke is a trader, researcher, software engineer, and freelance consultant with a focus on helping clients build and test quantified trading strategies using AmiBroker. After earning a pre-internet Computer Science degree from Michigan State University, he spent more than two decades writing software for a variety of companies from small startups to multinational conglomerates like Hewlett-Packard. Mr. Radtke started trading stocks and options in 2007, and later added futures to the mix.  In 2010 he was introduced to the concept of quantified trading by Larry Connors, and between 2012 and 2019 held various roles including researcher, author, and speaker for Connors Research. Today he runs his consulting business full time, working with dozens of clients from around the globe.
