Four numbered blocks connected in sequence by heavy rules, the second one filled

Curriculum

What you learn, and in what order

The order matters more than the content. Most people learn entries first and risk last, which is exactly backwards and is why so many accounts do not survive the first year.

In detail

What each stage covers

Everything below is method. None of it tells you what to trade, and none of it depends on a market being in any particular condition.

01 · Market structure

Reading what price has done without decorating it: highs, lows, ranges, and the difference between a level that mattered and a line you drew afterwards. The aim is to describe a chart in a way another person would recognise.

02 · Risk

Position sizing from a fixed percentage, what a run of losses does arithmetically, why leverage changes the size of a mistake rather than the quality of an idea, and how to set a stop before you have any interest in where it is.

03 · Execution

Writing the plan before the entry: the reason, the invalidation, the size and the exit. Then following it. Most of what looks like a strategy problem is a plan that was never written down and therefore could not be broken.

04 · Review

What a journal has to contain to be worth keeping, how to review a month without flattering yourself, and how to tell an error of execution from an ordinary losing trade — which are treated very differently.

Throughout · The boring habits

Sizing the same way every time, logging before the outcome is known, and not trading when the conditions the plan assumes are absent. These are unglamorous and they are the whole of the difference.

Alongside · Having it questioned

Every stage has something to do, and the community exists so that what you did is looked at by somebody other than you. Being asked where your invalidation was is worth more than another video.

Expectations

What this will and will not do for you

Being specific about this is not a disclaimer exercise. It is the difference between somebody who quits in month three and somebody who is still working in year two.

  • It will give you an order A sequence to work through, so you are not assembling a process from unrelated videos and other people's opinions.
  • It will give you a number A way to size every position that is the same on your best day and your worst one. This is the single most useful thing on the list.
  • It will not make you profitable Nobody can promise that, the published data on retail accounts is not kind, and an educator who claims otherwise is selling something other than education.
  • It will not tell you what to trade Not in the material, not in the sessions, not in the community. That is a line we hold deliberately, and the risk disclaimer explains why.

Questions

About the material

Do I need to know anything to start?

No. Stage one assumes nothing and spends its time on describing charts accurately, which is a skill people skip because it feels too basic. It is not.

Which markets does it cover?

The method is about structure, risk and process, which travel between markets. Examples are drawn from the instruments the community actually trades, but nothing in the material depends on a particular one.

How long before I should trade real money?

Longer than you want to. The material front-loads the parts you can practise without risk precisely so that the expensive lessons are the ones you have already had for free.

Is there a strategy I can copy?

There is a method you can execute, which is not the same thing. A copied strategy fails the first time conditions change, because nobody explained why it worked.

Do you cover psychology?

Only in the sense that a written plan and a fixed position size remove most of the decisions that psychology gets blamed for. We are sceptical of the version that treats it as a separate subject.

Is the material updated?

Yes, and members keep access to updates. What changes is examples and clarity; the four stages have not moved and are not likely to.

Start at stage one, even if you have traded before

Most members who arrive with experience find the gap is in stage two or four, not in entries. The free guide covers enough of both to show you where yours is.
