Service Standards

General
We strive to provide the best service possible within the following framework:
  • Membership to PTM Telegram messaging group
  • Saturday online meetings
  • Membership to recordings of past sessions for the months you have been a program member
  • Access to PTM Notion page (Notion is an online project management tool we use to organize program resources) 
  • PTM is offered on a monthly basis: We reserve the right to stop and discontinue the program at the end of any month. You too, can opt out of the program at the end of the month.
  • Everyone at Quant Systems is a trader first and traders are busy during market hours. Any service request is dealt with after market hours and the expectation is that your emails for administrative matter will be replied to within 1 to 2 days and outside market hours. 
Daily
Following services are provided on the daily basis:
  • 5 min Chart of ES (S&P500 Futures Contract) annotated with trades of the day. The focus is advanced trading with an emphasis on limit order entries. The assumption is trades are taken for scalps, so exits are not marked to avoid cluttering the chart too much. A scalper usually exits within the next bar or two, taking profits about the range of an average bar. 
  • The above chart is provided on the best effort basis since Ali or your coach) might not be able to annotate the chart on some days due to other responsibilities. 
  • The trades chart is provided within 24 hours of the close of the New York session. 
  • Ali or your coach) tries to check for questions at least once a day. 
  • If you post your own trades chart, Ali will check your trades, comment on it if necessary, or keep it for discussion during the weekend session. 
  • We encourage all questions and comments to be posted to the group to enhance group learning and for everyone to benefit from the mastermind effect. 
Weekly
Following services are provided on the weekly basis:
  • 1 live coaching session per week: 3 hours total in two 1:45 min periods with a short break in between
  • 4 live coaching sessions per month. So, if a month has five Saturdays, there will only be 4 sessions in that month. This is because everyone needs a break once in a while to help them keep up with life, as well. 
  • Video recording of the session is posted online within 24 hours of the session, unless technical issues delay video processing (this has happened a few times already). 
  • Topics for the upcoming session are posted on the PTM page on Notion.io and are managed by your coach. 
  • You can submit topics for weekend discussion anytime during the week preceding that session. 
Annually
If the program continues for a full year, our commitment is to provide 46 live mentoring sessions in a calendar year. This is necessary to accommodate national holidays and give your mentor a little personal time. When a session is cancelled, you will be notified ahead of time.

How to Access Program Resources

  2. You will receive a system-generated email, informing you of your access to PTM session recordings on this website, for the current month.

Schedule

Currently, there is only one session a week, on Saturdays, held between 11 AM to 2 PM EST with a 10 - 15 minute break in between. 

Format

  • At least one concept is discussed in detail during each session. 
  • There is an opportunity for you to ask your questions on the chart that is being discussed or other charts that you might have traded. 
  • Sessions also build on one another, so new layers of information are added on as sessions progress. 
  • Recent market price action is discussed and the event of the past week are reviewed. 
  • All sessions are recorded, allowing you to review the discussion at any time afterwards. This allows you to more fully engage in and pay attention to the live discussion, instead of having to also take notes during the session. 

Program Goal

As traders, we all have wanted to have unobstructed access to accomplished experienced traders. No amount of self-study or any course can have the same effect of being able to have a dialogue with an expert and ask questions that arose just recently when a trade was missed, a loss happened, or there was a market action you couldn't explain. 

The goal of this program is to provide access to professionals so that you can ask anything and when you have no questions, you can learn from their knowledge and thought process as it relates to the current market conditions. 

Perks

Our PTM students have front-of-the-line access to Quant Systems Systems Academy 2 Program. This is because we have seen a lot of questions that Systems Academy students ask as they work through that program are subjects that have been covered in great depth and detail during PTM sessions. 

Also, working with us in the mentoring program gives us a good understanding of your background, skill level, and educational talent. These are some of the factors that Systems Academy candidates are interviewed for. Working together give both of us a better opportunity to gauge suitability and whether the desirable synergy of student-mentor exits to embark on a complex and advanced program such as SA2. 

Who is the Mentor?

Currently Ali mentors the group himself.
