Why ALTI TRADING

Ten years spent making this simple.

If more than 145,000 people trust the way we teach, it is because we have spent close to ten years shaping it alongside them — in public, and mostly in their words.

Our story

Ten years, told by what actually happened in them.

  1. 2016

    It starts with one conviction

    Investing in the financial markets should be within everyone’s reach. Alexandre Leclair, who founded ALTI TRADING, had been trading for years and kept meeting people the jargon had put off. The same year the company took shape: a website, a first catalogue of courses, a brand, and a first community around it.

    Teaching in the open

    Alexandre put the work into YouTube — free, plain-spoken videos, from the basics through to deeper analysis. The audience grew, and so did the questions, which is what shaped what came next.

  3. 2018

    A team, and a room full of members

    The first colleagues joined, and the first live event brought members of the courses together for 48 hours of conference — the first time the community existed somewhere other than a screen. That is the room at the top of this page.

  4. 2019

    Offices in Angers, and a trip to Ethiopia

    Growth meant somewhere to put everyone: more than 250 m² in Angers, in the Maine-et-Loire. The same year, the first humanitarian project — a trip to Ethiopia that became ACT FOR WORLD, and the start of doing something beyond teaching.

    Tools, not only lessons

    Beyond the courses, ALTI TRADING started building its own tools — to take the friction out of learning and let members apply what they had been taught rather than only read it.

    The method is still the same one, still being shaped by the people who use it. That is the whole of the answer to why us.

What we commit to

Because knowing how to invest properly can change a life, we teach it in a way that is human, simple and professional.

  • Make the markets everyone’s business.

    The world of investing should be within reach. Our work is to take the complicated ideas of trading and the stock market and make them clear — courses anyone can follow, whatever they started from.

  • Teach it step by step.

    Nobody learns from a wall of theory. Every course is a sequence: short videos, an action plan to apply, a quiz to check you have it, and only then the next step.

  • Make you independent.

    The point is not that you need us. It is that you stop needing anyone: the courses, the tools and the resources exist so that you can read a market and act on it yourself.

  • Build a community of investors.

    We believe in what a group can do that a person cannot. Joining means joining a network of investors who share what worked, what did not, and what they learned from both.
