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.

Included in The Course 

  • ​​Approximately two hours of online instruction
  • One hour of one-on-one access (over email or Skype) to Matt to ask any questions you may have
  • Code templates that you can easily modify for your own needs
  • AmiBroker test results

I found Matt’s CBT Course to be invaluable. Having used Tradestation for many years, I began working with Amibroker about a year ago. Matt’s help was a massive shortcut for me. There are many possible pitfalls when designing and testing systems. Improper coding is certainly one of them. And with Matt’s help, I was able to learn how to code in Amibroker both accurately and efficiently. The skeleton code that comes with the course is something I’ve used over and over. And the ability to go back and review the videos and PowerPoint slides allows me to easily refresh myself on concepts I may not have used for a while. I highly recommend Matt and the CBT course.

​​I enrolled in Matt’s Amibroker CBT Intensive course and got a lot more than I bargained for. I expected something along the lines of “do this, then do that”, etc. Instead, I received expert explanations of how the CBT works, its order breakdown, etc that I could apply across all parts. I’ve been staring at back-testing code for years and, while I could follow the logic, never understood how it all held together. This course was a big deal for me. I did the homework Matt set and applied it to one of my systems. Eureka! It worked!
Thank you, Matt. Great work – 10/10 and highly recommended.
