Build My Analyst - $27

Instant access - 60-page ebook + 8 video lessons + every skill and script ready to paste. 30-day refund, no questions.

The Morning Coffee Investor - the course ebook: build your own AI analyst in one evening, let it research your markets while you sleep, and read the brief over morning coffee
the film

Sixty seconds, start to finish.

a real brief, and how you build yours

This course will not make you rich. It will make you systematic.  No signals, no predictions, no lambos. A tool, a method, and full ownership of both.

the ritual

Every morning, the same ritual.

Thousands of traders open a chat window. Paste the same five prompts. Get a decent analysis. Close the tab. Tomorrow, the AI remembers nothing. The "strategy" lives in a notes app. The analysis quality depends on how well you phrased things before coffee. And if you sleep in, skip a day, travel - there is no analysis at all.

That is not an AI problem. That is an architecture problem - and architecture problems have architecture solutions.

the fix

Meet your 08:00.

Tomorrow morning this lands on your phone:

  • Current price vs the levels that actually matter - computed in Python, not guessed from vibes
  • Momentum and volume - flagged only when unusual, silent when not
  • Overnight news filtered to what can move price - with sources named, and "no market-moving news" when a quiet day is quiet
  • A clear call: bias, conviction, the one level to watch - and what would prove it wrong

Written ninety seconds earlier by an agent running on your server. It knows your assets, your sizing, your preferences - permanently. It gets measurably better every time you correct it, because corrections patch its methodology file, not a chat that scrolls away.

And everything is yours: open-source agent (Hermes Agent by Nous Research - free software; you pay for the tested path, not the tool), your API keys, your machine, your methodology under version control. Cancel nothing, because you subscribe to nothing.

$25,000/YEAR · BLOOMBERG TERMINAL
$7/MONTH · YOURS

The Bloomberg Terminal sits on a desk you have to come to, and doesn't know who you are. Yours lives in your pocket and works for no one else. A different tool, obviously - but the same idea professionals have always paid for:

You don't scroll for information; it comes to you, structured, on time.

the method

One afternoon, six steps.

  1. Rent a server ($5-8/mo) and lock it down - keys-only, firewalled, patched.

    We assume zero Linux experience.

  2. Install the agent and connect a frontier AI model.

    With a hard spending cap, so the worst case is ever a stopped agent - never a surprise bill.

  3. Harden it - approvals, sandboxing, secret-stripping.

    Then watch the agent finish its own security setup while you approve.

  4. Give it a phone line - a private Telegram bot.

    Mathematically locked to your user ID and no one else on earth.

  5. Teach it your methodology - as a skill file it follows exactly.

    Every day. And it improves when you complain.

  6. Schedule it - 08:00, your timezone, hands off.

    Milestone shipped.

the syllabus

Inside the course.

Not a mystery box. This is literally what you download - a real lesson frame, a real ebook page, the real file list:

00Welcome - The Result First4:40

The finished 08:00 brief before anything else, who this is (and isn't) for, real costs, and the honest contract for the course.

01Your Server7:09

Rent a VPS, log in with keys that can't be phished, set the timezone, lock it down - firewall, no root login, auto-patches. Zero Linux experience assumed.

02Installing Hermes7:17

Install the agent, pass the doctor check, plug in a frontier model with a hard spending cap, trim the tool surface, and have your first conversation with your own machine.

03Security Hardening8:40

The four attackers, the five layers, approvals and sandboxing - then you watch the agent finish hardening its own house while you approve.

04The Telegram Gateway7:08

Create the bot, wire the gateway, and lock it to your numeric ID - then the lock test: watch a stranger's message get dropped before the agent ever sees it.

05Skills8:44

What a skill file is, the anatomy of a real one, install and trigger from your phone - and the self-improvement loop: complain once, it patches its own methodology.

06The Daily Brief8:41

The analyst skill end to end: guided tour, first run, attach the 08:00 schedule, see it fail loudly (never silently), and the week of calibration. Milestone shipped.

++Outro - From Analyst to Desk5:25

What this analyst still can't do, the honest limits, maintenance in 15 minutes a month - and what the other four milestones look like.

The checklists, scripts and skills stay yours either way. We can afford this guarantee because the path is tested; you can rely on it because it's in writing.

Proof, the honest kind.

Built on, not built up. Hermes Agent is one of the most-starred open-source agent projects of its generation - 218,000+ GitHub stars. This course is the tested path from blank server to working analyst on top of it - written against v0.18 and validated command-by-command against official docs.

the filter

Who this is for.

Any timeframe - the brief adapts to how you actually trade:

Long-term investor

A quiet daily check on your thesis. Most mornings: "nothing structural changed." The morning that's false - you hear it, with sources named.

Swing trader

Levels, momentum, catalysts - the full setup context on your assets before the open. Every day, same format, no gaps.

Position trader

A bias with a stated invalidation, tracked day after day - and a methodology file that accumulates your rules instead of forgetting them.

Day trader

Not tick-by-tick signals - the day's conditions at 08:00: daily bias, the levels that matter, and the event risk on today's calendar.

TAKE THIS COURSE IF

  • You already use AI for market analysis and you're tired of the amnesia
  • You hold real positions and want a filter that watches so you don't have to
  • You can copy, paste, and read - that's the full technical bar
  • "Runs on my own server" sounds like a feature, not a chore

DO NOT BUY THIS IF

  • You want signals to copy - this course makes you independent of signal sellers, and it will frustrate you
  • You believe an AI can predict markets - it can't, and this page won't pretend otherwise
  • You're trading money you can't afford to lose - no course is the fix for that, and we'd rather say it here than in your refund email
the author

Who's teaching.

JW

I'm Jacob. Systems background, markets habit - and for two years, the exact morning ritual this page opens with: the same prompts, pasted into a chat window that had forgotten me overnight.

Hermes Terminal is the machine I built to stop doing that - documented from a blank server onward, including the parts where things broke. Every command in this course was run on a real box; every claim was validated against the official docs, then re-validated.

I won't sell you signals or predictions. I'd rather teach you to own the tool. That's the whole pitch.

Jacob Wlodarczyk · author, Hermes Terminal

the math

The agent is free. So why $27?

Fair question - Hermes Agent is open source and always will be. Here's exactly what the money buys:

 DIY from the docs ($0)With the course ($27)
Time to a working analystevenings of docs, forums and dead ends~3 focused hours, one afternoon
Security setupthe part most people skip until it hurtsbuilt into the path - allowlist, sandbox, spending cap
The analyst skillwrite your own methodology file from scratchworking daily-brief skill included, calibrate to taste
The classic trapsyou find them the hard waypre-sprung and flagged before you hit them
When Hermes updatesyou re-figure it outcourse re-validated per release, updates free

// if your time is worth more than $9/hour, the math works. if DIY sounds like fun anyway - genuinely, go build it. the agent's repo is public.

the objections

Fair questions.

"I've never touched a Linux server."

Chapter 1 assumes exactly that. Every command is given, explained, and checklisted - and the #1 classic mistake (locking yourself out) has a dedicated safety-net walkthrough.

"What does it cost to run?"

$5-8 server + $5-15 in AI tokens monthly. You set a hard spending cap in lesson 2, so the ceiling is yours. All providers and prices are compared inside.

"Is this financial advice?"

No. This is an education product about building a research tool. It produces analysis for YOUR judgment; it never trades for you (that's a different course, and even there, with kill switches).

"Why not just use ChatGPT?"

You can - that's the ritual described at the top of this page. This course exists for the day you're done with that ritual.

"The software is open source - can't I do this free?"

Yes. The agent is free and always will be. $27 buys the tested path: the working analyst skill, the security setup most people skip until it hurts, the traps pre-sprung, and the maintenance plan. If your time is worth more than $9/hour, the math works.

"What if it breaks when Hermes updates?"

The course pins to a version, tracks releases, and updates are free. There's also a monthly 15-minute maintenance checklist - the whole burden of ownership.

"What's the catch at $27?"

The honest one: this is chapter one of a bigger course (Full Stack Trader, $499 - portfolio automation, backtesting, live execution). Starter is complete on its own, and your $27 becomes a permanent $50 credit if you ever upgrade. No countdown timers, no expiring offers - buy the rest in two years if that's when you're ready.

one more time

One more look before you decide.

Your first brief can land tomorrow at 08:00.

One afternoon of setup. A briefing every morning for as long as you keep a $7 server running. And the skill that matters this decade: knowing how to direct an agent - state outcomes, review evidence, own the methodology.
