Become A Winning Algorithmic Trader!
Most algo traders keep tweaking systems that never make it to live trading — or worse, blow up the moment they do.
System Development Master Class gives you a proven 90-day roadmap to finally break free — and build a portfolio you can trust, trade, and scale.
- Built for TradeStation + MultiCharts
- Includes live strategy templates + code reviews
- No guesswork. No “magic indicators.” Just real trading systems.
Stop the endless cycle of hope and disappointment.
You started with such high hopes. Algorithmic trading promised freedom from emotional decisions, consistent profits, and maybe even a path to financial independence. But now you're stuck in a frustrating cycle that feels impossible to break.
STRATEGIES DON'T WORK
Your backtests look amazing, showing impressive profits and smooth equity curves. Yet when you go live, those same strategies bleed money.
LOSS OF CONFIDENCE
Your confidence erodes with each failure. The emotional toll accumulates—anxiety when placing trades, frustration when systems underperform, and the growing suspicion that you might never achieve the trading success you've worked so hard for.
KEEP LOSING MONEY
You've tried following YouTube gurus, buying indicator packages, and spending countless hours tweaking parameters—but nothing seems to deliver the consistent results you're after.
SO MUCH TIME LOST
You've invested significant time, money, and hope in this journey. But instead of building wealth, you're left questioning whether you'll ever crack the code of systematic trading success.
Build Real Trading Systems with a Proven Process — in Just 90 Days
Learn to be become a profitable algorithmic trader…
even if you have never had a profitable year!
Imagine having a step-by-step method for building, testing, and deploying your own algorithmic trading portfolio — one that finally breaks the cycle of failed backtests, emotional trading, and inconsistent results.
That’s exactly what the System Development Master Class delivers.
This is not another theory-heavy course filled with fluff. It’s a complete roadmap for frustrated or beginner algo traders who are ready to stop guessing — and start executing like a pro.
You'll follow a repeatable, structured framework to:
- Build your first trading system — using EasyLanguage on TradeStation or MultiCharts
- Validate it with professional-grade techniques (like Walk Forward Analysis)
- Launch your own portfolio of uncorrelated strategies — ready for live markets
- And most importantly: gain the skills to do it again and again
“Most traders are stuck in trial-and-error mode. I give you a process that scales.”
Sound Familiar?
You’ve probably been here before:
- A promising backtest turns into a live-trading disaster.
- You tweak indicators endlessly, hoping something will click.
- Your confidence dips lower with every strategy that fails.
- You feel overwhelmed — and you're starting to wonder if this is even possible.
It’s not your fault. Most courses never teach you how to think like a system builder. They give you one strategy, or a pile of theory, and leave you to figure out the rest on your own.
That’s Why I Built This Course
I wanted to create the course I wish I had when I was getting started.
The System Development Master Class teaches you how to think, build, and validate like a professional algo trader — using the same tools and process I use to trade live today.
No guesswork. No more hoping something works. Just a clear system that leads you to live trading success.

Step-by-Step Guided Course Structure
End the Isolation of Solo System Development
Trading system development doesn't have to be chaotic and confusing. Our structured framework breaks this complex process into clear, manageable steps that build upon each other logically. No more guessing what to do next or feeling lost in a sea of indicators and optimization settings. This clarity and direction eliminates the frustration of endless tinkering and delivers the confidence that comes from mastering a professional development process.
A Real trading system
We build this together in the course!
We build an intraday breakout strategy for the E-mini S&P futures. This strategy trades on a 5-minute chart. It's a real trading, and we'll build it together so you can see how to create trading systems step by step.
PERSONALIZED ASSIGNMENT REVIEWS
End the Isolation of Solo System Development
No more struggling alone with untested ideas or wondering if you're on the right track. Every assignment you complete is personally reviewed by Jeff, providing expert feedback when you need it most. Students consistently report that Jeff's reviews were the difference between continued frustration and breakthrough success—giving them clarity, direction, and the assurance their systems are built on solid foundations.
These are the skills we're going to focus on!

Rapid Strategy Development Templates
Your Personal Strategy Generator!
Skip the coding headaches and jump straight to profitable system development with our proprietary Rapid Strategy Development Templates. These aren't just basic code snippets—they're sophisticated strategy generators that many students say are worth the price of the entire course alone.

The real magic happens when you customize these templates to your specific needs—they automatically generate the clean, optimized EasyLanguage code for you! This means you can test dozens of strategy variations in the time it would normally take to code just one system from scratch.
Students report cutting their development time by up to 90%, allowing them to rapidly test more ideas and discover profitable edges while others are still struggling with syntax errors. Whether you're building trend-following systems, mean-reversion strategies, or breakout models, these templates provide the perfect foundation.

What Do Other Traders Say?
Brian Kolaci
SDMC Student
I made back the cost of the course in just a couple of weeks!
After losing $100K using expensive, short-lived strategies, I realized I needed a more sustainable approach. What I learned in the System Development Master Class was invaluable. Jeff’s course taught me how to build consistent algo trading systems that actually make money—not just for a few weeks.
Yes, I made back the cost of the course in just a couple of weeks. And yes, I’ve made over $100K in a year. But the real lesson? You have to keep your portfolio in check. SDMC gave me the structure and mindset to do that.
Mark Mcclatchey
SDMC Student
Builder Edition Put Me Over the Top!
After finishing the Coder Edition, I signed up for the Builder Edition in November 2024. The keystone project was an intraday system that Jeff himself trades live. I created two variations of that system. One of them traded live for the first time on 3/24/25 and made $1,375 on one MES contract and $2,260 on two contracts. Not too shabby for micros.
If you can’t be disciplined enough to enforce a well-defined trading plan, YOU WILL FAIL. Jeff’s course helped me build that plan—from learning EasyLanguage to developing and validating real systems. His Profit Lab Method isn’t fluff—it’s what I needed to stop guessing and start executing.

Core Modules
Four Simple Steps To Algo Trading Success
1
Learn Where To Find Great Trading Ideas!
Discover trading ideas and transform them with our Skeleton Key Method that can generate a goldmine of actionable system ideas. Instead of blindly copying others' systems or struggling to invent ideas from scratch, you'll develop the rare skill of recognizing powerful trading concepts hiding within ordinary sources. Students report this method has "unlocked" their creativity, allowing them to see profitable opportunities everywhere they look. Your next breakthrough system could be hiding in that trading book you've had for years or that YouTube video you watched last week.
2
Discover How To Build Trading Systems Like Clockwork!
The Profit Lab Method eliminates guesswork and transforms system development from an art into a precise science. This proprietary framework walks you step-by-step through building robust trading systems that perform consistently in live markets, not just in backtests. Students report this method has dramatically increased their system-building confidence and success rate, with one trader noting: "I now build more viable systems in a month than I previously did in a year." The Profit Lab Method doesn't just teach you to build one system—it empowers you to build an unlimited number of them whenever you need, giving you a perpetual edge in an ever-changing market.
3
Validate Your Trading Systems To Ensure They Work!
Stop worrying about whether your strategy will collapse when real money is on the line. Our rigorous validation process, featuring professional-grade Walk Forward Analysis, eliminates the devastating gap between backtest dreams and live trading reality. This validation framework removes the doubt that plagues most traders, replacing anxiety with data-driven confidence. Students report sleeping better at night knowing their systems have passed stringent tests designed to replicate real-world trading challenges.
4
Construct A Portfolio of Trading Systems!
Want to know the secret to sustained profits in the trading world? It's trading a portfolio of trading systems. You will learn the Bulletproof Portfolio Method - a comprehensive framework shows you exactly how to combine multiple trading systems into a harmonious portfolio that reduces drawdown and improves profitability. Students who implemented this method report unprecedented stability in their trading results, with one noting: "For the first time, I'm not worried about what the market will do tomorrow." The Bulletproof Portfolio Method doesn't just improve your trading results—it fundamentally transforms your relationship with the market, replacing anxiety and uncertainty with confidence and predictability.

How Long Would It Take to Make Back the Cost?
“I made back the cost of the course in just a couple of weeks.” — Brian Kolaci
“My intraday system made $1,375 and $2,260 on MES — right after going live.” — Mark McClatchey
You’re not buying more theory. You’re building and launching live systems — during the course.
How many failed trades would it take to lose $4K? How many working systems would it take to earn it back? This course doesn’t just pay for itself — it sets you up to repeat that payoff again and again.

Jeff is an impressive teacher
Jeff is an impressive teacher and there is very little fluff here. Every lesson is meaningful and builds off previous lessons. He also provides a level of interaction and support that I think a lot of other educators out there throw out the door as soon as they receive your hard earned money.
Vernon

Jeff is a talented teacher!
In particular, let me compliment you on your style and approach. You bring a clarity and realism to the discussion that is just missing. I have found all of your work to be exceptional and of the highest quality. You are a talented teacher!

Student
Jeff is a natural teacher
Jeff is a natural teacher, there's no skipping around and going off in tangents, and there's no hidden agenda - he simply provides a well put together course and delivers more than advertised.
faq
The course is designed with busy traders in mind. It’s self-paced with lifetime access, so you can learn at your own speed—whether that’s a few hours a week or an intensive sprint. You’ll also get a clear timeline to plan your progress.
No coding experience? No problem. I have an entire course on learning EasyLanguage which will get you up-to-speed with the basics and guide you step-by-step, to make coding in EasyLanguage simple and fast. You’ll be building systems in no time, even if you’re a complete beginner. Click here for more info:
https://easylanguagemastery.com/products/programming-for-profits/
This course is built specifically for TradeStation and MultiCharts users—our methods and tools are optimized for these platforms. If you’re using something else, this might not be the right fit, as we focus on giving you a tailored, platform-specific edge.
This course is all about showing you how to build strategies across various market conditions using the Profit Lab Method, including our own validation process to ensure they hold up in live trading.
Unlike video-only courses, we build trading systems together. You will watch videos and then receive homework assignment which Jeff will review and answer questions via a shred google document. You won’t just watch—you’ll create, test, and deploy your own systems with hands-on guidance every step of the way.
Our course delivers fresh, platform-specific frameworks and methods for TradeStation and MultiCharts, grounded in a scientific approach—not recycled, one-size-fits-all ideas. Everything in the course teaches you how to build winning systems in a clear step-by-step manor.
Absolutely. While most courses stop at single strategies, we take you further—teaching you to construct a diversified portfolio of systems for consistent profits, not just one-off wins.
You’re never alone with me. You’ll get lifetime access to our exclusive community of traders. Have a question? Me or other traders are here to help, long after the course ends.
I stand behind our course with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don’t feel confident building and testing systems within 30-days of purchasing the course, just let me know—I'll refund you, no questions asked. Your success is my priority.
While we can’t promise specific profits—trading involves risk—I guarantee you’ll gain the skills, tools, and process to build and deploy your own profitable systems. Our students’ success stories speak to what’s possible with commitment. See here:
https://www.bonjoro.com/pe/7670ed4f-1d6c-48f0-ba52-5f3e34f6c650
I routinely add updates to the course material to reflect new market trends, tools, and platform changes. Your lifetime access includes these updates at no extra cost, keeping your skills sharp.
You’ll need TradeStation or MultiCharts to fully apply the course—our strategies are built for these platforms. A standard computer with a reliable internet connection is enough to get started. For building a portfolio, I also recommend Portfolio Analyst but you don't need this right away.
The core course is designed to get you trading live in 90 days if you follow the roadmap. But it’s self-paced—you can go faster or slower depending on your schedule. With lifetime access, there’s no rush.
The Strategy Vault is a library of validated trading systems created by me and other students. You can freely download them to study, trade or adapt. The Fellowship program offers monthly live sessions where you can ask questions, get feedback, and refine your skills with me and other traders.
Yes! By the end, you’ll have built, tested, and validated your own portfolio of systems, ready for live deployment. We’ll even walk you through the practical steps to go live with confidence.
The Profit Lab Method is my unique approach combining Independent Testing—to verify strategy performance—and Intelligent Construction—to optimize profitability. It’s designed to reduce curve fitting and give you systems that work in real markets.
Definitely. This course is perfect for mildly experienced algo traders looking to refine their skills and achieve consistent results. You’ll get advanced tools and a structured process to take your trading to the next level.
It depends on your goals, but with our Rapid Strategy Development Templates and System Development Notebook, you can apply what you learn efficiently. I recommend that you spend about five hours per week.
Free resources often lack structure, and cheaper courses rarely offer hands-on guidance or portfolio-building. With us, you get a complete system, exclusive tools, a supportive community, and lifetime access—delivering value far beyond the price.
A Personal Note From Jeff Swanson
I think having a process to build trading systems is a must-have! Remember, every time you put on a trade, you're competing against brilliant and well-funded individuals and institutions. In such a competitive arena, you must be armed with the right knowledge, a reliable process, and the right tools to make a consistent profit.
The techniques in System Development Master Class are my propitiatory methods and tools that I use. I want to share them with you.
Please join me, and together we can build winning trading systems!
