Tomas Nesnidal · "Mr. Breakouts"

I trade one simple formula that fits in a laptop travel bag — 70 countries and counting.

25+ years as a systematic breakout trader. 2,041 strategies built, a hedge fund run from the road, and one breakout method behind all of it. I give that whole methodology away here — free, chapter by chapter.

Tomas is a professional trader who, for the last 10 years, has specialized in developing trading systems. We have been tracking his trading systems for about 5 years and they generally show very robust, stable and above average performance. Striker is pleased to work with someone like him — a real professional with enthusiasm and deep knowledge of trading.

About me

Tomas Nesnidal

My friends call me Tom. I grew up in communist Czechoslovakia, where my first computer was a Commodore 64 smuggled across the border. I have been in trading for over 25 years — first discretionary, then systematic, and for the last decade almost exclusively algorithmic.

Somewhere along the way I stopped jumping between approaches and specialised in one thing: breakouts. That decision changed everything. It produced 2,041 strategies, a hedge fund, and a life where the trading happens on a laptop — so far from 70 countries.

I am not interested in selling anyone a dream. Trading is hard, most strategies fail, and I have lost money learning every lesson I write about here. What I can offer is 25 years of honest, tested experience — and a methodology that has kept working long after it should have stopped.

— Tomas Nesnidal, alias Mr. Breakouts
