You don’t need to be a programmer, a math genius, or a finance expert to build your first trading algorithm.
You just need the right blueprint.
The Beginner’s Algo Trading Blueprint is the clearest, simplest, most practical introduction to algorithmic trading ever written for everyday traders. Hayden Van Der Post strips away the complexity, jargon, and intimidation that usually surround algo trading, and replaces it with a friendly, step-by-step process that anyone can follow.
If you’ve ever wondered how traders automate their strategies, how bots actually work, or how to turn your trading ideas into code without being overwhelmed, this book gives you everything you need to get started.
You’ll learn the exact path professional system designers use to build reliable, data-driven strategies, presented in a way that beginners can understand and immediately put into action.
Inside, You’ll Learn:
• What algorithmic trading really is – without the hype
A simple explanation of how algos think, act, and execute trades.
• How to turn any trading idea into a rules-based strategy
Momentum, mean-reversion, breakouts, trend following, and more.
• The truth about backtesting
How to test a strategy properly so you don’t fool yourself with fake results.
• How to automate your trading safely
Connecting your strategy to a broker, running it live, and setting guardrails to protect your capital.

Copy → modify → deploy — turning you into an algorithmic trader faster than you ever thought possible.
