  • Do your strategies make sense to you, complement each other, and produce results?
  • As part of The Crew, you will learn from 3 traders with a combined 60+ years of stock trading experience. We each have different styles but use the same core thought processes to make money trading all over the globe.

I would like to complement Tranquility Trading and the work you’ve put into it. After a lot of searching, Tranquility Trading is by far the best algorithmic trading group without the hardcore marketing pitch. Most other competitors in the space are marketing gurus. They have some great material, but honestly, they all say that they’ve learned a lot from you and that you’re a pro. Knowing all the work that goes into creating a service like yours, I really do appreciate and I am grateful for the work you’ve done.

This is an elite community of traders sharing ideas, finding trades, and creating strategies so we all profit.

The community has 4 components to ensure this happens.

1) The Strategy Vault

The Crew Strategies

  • The Vault has a collection of profitable trading strategies that you can trade today
  • The Vault contains a list of stocks with edges updated daily that you can use as high probability trades within your own strategies
  • Many of these strategies are uncorrelated with your current trading style. Guaranteed.
  • When your view of the market changes, you can access a variety of strategies so that you may switch to one that optimizes that market type.

Cesar Alvarez – The Crew Chief

Since 2013, Cesar has written and researched for his popular quant blog, Alvarez Quant Trading helping traders learn about the markets. He spent nine years as the Director of Research for Connors Research and TradingMarkets.com. Numerous strategies he created have been successfully used by investors and fund managers in the United States and internationally. Cesar has been testing trading ideas and trading stocks since 2001. Cesar has given trading presentations and training to hundreds of traders. He also runs a trading consulting business.

Tranquility Trading Strategies

In addition, you get immediate access to signals to all subscription Tranquility Trading strategies that have some of the best quantified trading edges we have ever found. These strategies alone would cost about $300 per month. These include:

  • Tech Comets: Nasdaq 100 momentum strategy
  • Big Cap Alpha: S&P500 trend following strategy
  • Volatility Trend Trader: Volatility ETF strategy
  • Market Surfer: SPY & TLT trend following strategy
  • Another strategy only available to members of The Crew

These are proprietary trading systems, so although members of The Crew have access to signals we will not be sharing the details because we are trying to protect the profitability of the strategies for the members of The Crew and ourselves.

Crew Only Strategy Research

We frequently test and develop new trading strategies. The strategies we test will be decided on by The Crew. 

You will get immediate access to any new strategies, rules and spreadsheets created while you are a member.

The cost for the Crew Only Strategies would be $400-$1000 per month alone.

2) Market Insights

Every four weeks, see what the market is REALLY doing by looking at the internals of the market, and how Steven is interpreting it.  Get access to Steven’s bird’s eye view of where he sees the market going, and where the risks are.

He uses this information to make trades in the e-minis profitably month after month. 

This is Cesar and Steven’s internal market check using data to see where the market is going next.

See in straightforward terms what the market is doing where It’s likely to go next based on our research.

Steven Gabriel – The Crew Commentary Chief

Steven has an extensive history trading equities, options, futures, and volatility. Since 2003, he has been a quant-based trader, working alongside Cesar on research for 100’s of different ideas, concepts, strategies, and systems. Steve is also an Emergency Room physician. But he only practices medicine half-time now because of his success in trading financial markets.

The Turtles

In the past, it’s been shown that elite trading groups have created some of the best traders in history. The Turtles are a trading group which produced multiple 100,000,000 dollar traders.  That’s why we are creating this group. The Turtles helped each other grow as traders.

For any of us to push ourselves to the next level in our trading, we need a group of some of the best and most committed traders to work together and share resources.

Some of us are good at trade structure, coding, options, fundamentals, shorting, buy points, sell points, and idea generation-but if we can share our skills-the results will be astounding.

There no way I’d be professionally managing money today were it not for the professional advice and help of Cesar Alvarez. I’ve yet to meet a trader/researcher with such a superb understanding of the markets; as well as the dangerous trapdoors that await if you decide to develop your own quant system.

This will be an online community of some of the best traders all sharing trades, trade structure, and strategy ideas

  • The community will also help by just being accountable to others, which encourages you to make less emotional decisions. If you’re too embarrassed to share your trade, it’s probably not good to trade it.
  • Trading can be lonely. Here you can share your passion for trading with other traders.
  • Monthly live video chats of us to talking about the markets: seeing the market thought process through videos that you can watch on your own time

The Crew Forum Chief

Matt has been actively trading stocks, ETFs and options since 2008. He has also traded futures and forex at various times in his trading journey. In 2011 he started working with Cesar at Connors Research, eventually succeeding him as Director or Research. He also runs a trading consulting business.

Connect with other great traders from around the world (trading can be lonely…we get it)

Trading with other profitable traders is critical to improve your trading. You can learn nothing well without having mentors.  That’s how we got here.

Be part of a community of like-minded, experienced, and profitable traders.

Who is The Crew for?

  • Traders who have been trading with at least moderate experience who want to get better
  • Traders who are very experienced and want to work on new strategies, add uncorrelated strategies, and optimize what they are already doing
  • Quants (like Cesar), discretionary-quants (like Steven) or those wanting to know learn about the markets
  • Traders looking for a community to learn from and connect with

4) Trader College

Learn Critical Quant themes in trading based on quantitative research that will add extra profitability to all your trades. 

Cesar has arguably done more research in this area than any other researcher.  He will share tricks that have been shown to increase profitability (or mitigate losses) on every trade you take.

Cesar Alvarez shares actionable items to add to your trading based on his research that have made him consistently profitable (you can easily implement these same ideas).

  • Learn how to pick the best strategies for YOU to be trading based on where you are in your trading career
  • Learn how to combine different edges and strategies to create a portfolio that fits your current trading goals for profitability, trade length, and drawdowns.
  • The Trader College is personal education from one of the best quant traders actively trading his own money with over 30 years of experience.
  • Steven trades almost all the strategies with options. See how he uses these quant edges to set up different option structures.
  • Matt is an options enthusiast as well, but also trades stocks and ETFs. In addition, he’s a top-notch trainer like Cesar, so one of us can always explain any concept in terms that beginners and experts can understand.
  • And, if you have thoughts about where there may be edges in the market, Cesar and Matt will be there to test and validate the ideas that the group thinks are most promising.

I have over a decade of quant trading experience and am the Chief Investment Officer for a quant-based advisory firm. I’ve known Cesar for 8 years and he is my first and foremost “go-to” resource for financial markets research, quantified strategy development, and coding.  Unlike some theoretical “quants,” Cesar is also a trader.  He understands the markets and the real-world limitations of broker order offerings, liquidity, and order placement.

Ultimately, The Crew is designed to make everyone more money. Cesar came up with this idea to make us all more profitable traders, including himself.  Many of the ideas that have turned into full-blown profitable strategies have come from a suggestion or idea from someone at random times in his life.  He’s doing this o find more alpha to squeeze out of the markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don’t like it after a week? The first week is free.  We only want this to be benefit to you…If it’s not for you after a week, we make it easy to cancel.

What if I lose money? Ultimately, we don’t control the markets.  As Steven always says: start your trading day with “I don’t know.” and just look for high probability set-ups.  Over time, trading high probability set-ups works out.  It has for us.  We can never guarantee anyone will make or lose money, but we certainly can share what has worked for us to make money, and share the research and logic behind it.

If you guys are so good at trading, why would you do this? We’ve been trading for a long time.  We agree that trading can be lonely, and we’d like to work and share in a community.  We both also agree that we’ve gotten better by working and sharing with others.  We believe the technology is there, that we can do this virtually, and that we will all benefit (including us).

Is backtesting code provided for The Crew only strategies? No. When possible, code is provided for Explorations to provide entry signals. Depending on the strategy, the code may depend on having Norgate Platinum data subscription.
