About us
At investment banking careers, we aim to support retail traders, college students, recent graduates or professionals looking to switch careers into investment banking, hedge funds and proprietary trading.
We understand that there is a gap between the knowledge required in financial markets and what is typically taught at educational institutions. This gape poses a significant challenge for aspiring candidates, who may find themselves at a disadvantage due to lack of the essential skills and experience expected by leading institutions.
Acknowledging this critical gap, we are thrilled to introduce the Institute of Trading and Portfolio Management (ITPM) as a pivotal resource for those aiming to bridge the divide between academic learning and practical application in the realm of trading and investment. The ITPM stands out as a beacon for aspiring candidates, offering a suite of courses and mentoring programs meticulously designed to equip you with the real-world skills and insights that are in high demand within the financial industry.
By aligning with ITPM, we offer you a pathway not just to understand the intricacies of the markets, but to excel in them, transforming theoretical knowledge into actionable expertise. Whether you're a retail trader seeking to professionalize your approach, a student aiming to break into investment banking, or a professional contemplating a career switch, ITPM provides the tools, guidance, and network necessary to elevate your aspirations into achievements.

HOW WILL TRADING MY OWN MONEY HELP ME GET A JOB AT AN INVESTMENT BANK?
Jason McDonald, a professional trader that has worked at Lehman Brothers and TD bank explains that graduates applying for a job at an investment bank rarely have traded with their own money. Therefore the graduates that had and had been successful were outliers during the interview process.
“Wherever you are on your journey, you are very much part of the ITPM community, which is without a doubt the best community for retail traders to empower themselves”. Edward Shek

TESTIMONIALS
The PTM has literally changed my life! This time last year I was working construction in Australia and trading/learning in the evenings, generally trading price action indicators. Large profits would be followed by large losses. I purchased the PTM 12 months’ access course and studied every evening for 2-3 months achieving 90%. Having no background in economics, I found the material very well explained and easy to follow. Since then I have left my previous employer and had the opportunity to move to Singapore and move into the financial industry. Best money I ever spent! I just wish I had known this knowledge ten years ago.

The trading master class has really been beneficial in providing a great understanding of how markets operate and how to maximise opportunities. The idea of allowing someone else to manage my money has always been daunting and I am more excited than ever to begin a career in banking and to trade my own fund. The Professional Trading Master Class has been an excellent eye opener and I am confident of the knowledge I have gained as a result. I no longer follow CNBC and other news Channels religiously. I am far more critical of the content I view. I intend on opening an account with the Institute of Trading once I have enough capital.

As an already advanced trader taking the PTM, the course was absolutely perfect and crucial for my future trading career. There are multiple Eureka moments during the course and everything just fell into place. In practice I am also much more profitable than I used to be. I am up 36% in just under 4 months since taking the course and applying it. Totally recommend it!

I work in IT consulting, and have always had an interest in trading and economics. The PTM video series was a true revelation! What an eye-opener! Before my purchase, I was sceptical and thought it was pricey, but what a bargain it proved to be in hindsight! Now I only wish I had made the purchase sooner!

I finished my accounting major and I decided to take the course when I moved to New Jersey and I got 90% in the examination. I used to only trade FOREX and the S&P500 for two years before I took the PTM course. I took a couple of courses before and read multiple books. To be honest, all other courses and books out there were just one part of the puzzle. The PTM course is the whole game, surpassed my expectations as it benefits me in trading and in life. Now I am very confident in my trading. Definitely appreciate you sharing such amazing knowledge. Thanks!

Throw out your pop books on charting and technical rules and learn how the professionals do it; this course transformed the way I trade. Using real examples, Anton proved that a lot of what I thought I knew from “how to trade” books was hopelessly off the mark and, instead he taught me a disciplined, repeatable process that I now use to generate fundamentally driven opportunities and translate them into properly risk managed trades.

After 2 years trading without making money I decided to hire a professional coach to push on the learning process. But I wasn’t sure if the PTM is worth the money, so I travelled to London visiting Trading the Truth Seminar, which showed me it’s worth the money. I learned more in 3 weeks taking the course than in 2 years trading and listening to the so called “traders”, who work together with the Brokers. Everyone who want to trade should take a course like this.

I am currently working in the hedge fund administration industry and I have great exposure to what hedge funds do as I manage the operational side of a big long short equity fund. The information I have learned so far is very valuable and worth every penny. I would recommend this course for anyone who is really serious about learning how to trade, because the material is not simplistic like so many other courses. It definitely needs time to practice before you become good at it. Thank you so much for putting this course together.
