Hextechex Academy

Built by Traders, for Traders

Back in 2019, we were just two portfolio managers tired of seeing brilliant investment strategies fail because of human emotion and inconsistent execution. We'd watch clients make smart decisions during calm markets, then panic at exactly the wrong moments.

That frustration led us to something bigger. We started documenting what actually worked in systematic investing — not the theoretical stuff from textbooks, but real approaches we'd tested with millions of dollars over market cycles that included both the 2020 crash and recovery.

Elena Rourke

Co-founder & Lead Systematic Trading Instructor

Elena spent eight years managing institutional portfolios before co-founding Hextechex Academy. She developed her systematic approach after personally losing 40% of her early trading account to emotional decisions. Her framework for removing psychology from investment choices now forms the backbone of our curriculum.

What We Actually Teach

  • Risk Management Systems — How to size positions so no single trade can hurt your long-term goals, based on mathematical frameworks we've used with client accounts ranging from $50K to $2M
  • Market Cycle Recognition — Identifying when systematic approaches work best and when they need adjustment, drawn from our experience through three major market shifts since 2019
  • Portfolio Construction — Building diversified systems that can handle different market environments without requiring constant monitoring or stress
  • Execution Frameworks — Step-by-step processes for making investment decisions based on data rather than emotions or market noise

Our Mission

We teach systematic approaches to investing that work whether markets are going up, down, or sideways. Every technique we cover has been tested in real portfolios during actual market conditions — not just backtested on historical data.

Most importantly, we focus on sustainable strategies that you can execute consistently over decades, not quick fixes or complex systems that fall apart under pressure.

Why Systematic Investing

After managing money professionally, we realized the biggest difference between successful and unsuccessful investors wasn't intelligence or market knowledge. It was having consistent processes that removed emotional decision-making from the equation.

The best investment strategy in the world is worthless if you can't execute it consistently when markets get scary or exciting.

How We Structure Learning

Our curriculum follows the same progression we used to train junior portfolio managers at institutional firms — starting with fundamentals and building toward complete systematic frameworks.

1

Foundation Building

We start with risk management and position sizing because these determine 80% of your long-term results. Students learn to calculate appropriate position sizes before they learn any specific strategies.

2

System Development

Students build their own systematic approaches using frameworks we've refined over six years. This includes entry criteria, exit rules, and most importantly, when to step aside completely.

3

Real Implementation

The final phase involves executing these systems in simulation environments that mirror real market conditions, including the psychological pressure of seeing positions move against you.
