The deal

Free. Really.

How is that possible? The site is funded by affiliate commissions and advertising, nothing else. Both are labelled, and neither changes a calculation or a lesson.

The manifesto · read before every session

It’s not about the next trade. It’s about the next 20 trades.
The market owes nothing to anyone.The stop loss is set. It is not moved.The goal is to be profitable over many trades.If there is no clear setup, there is no trade.Trust the system that was built.The job is not to predict. The job is to execute.Enough is better than everything.

The library

Nine lessons. One path.

Start at the top. Each lesson builds on the last, and none of them needs a chart to make sense.

  1. What is Trading?

    Probability, expectancy and the real nature of the game.

  2. Market Fundamentals

    How orders, liquidity and the matching engine move price.

  3. Market Nature

    Expansion, contraction, cycles and fractal behaviour.

  4. Market Structure

    Read trends, breaks of structure and changes of character.

  5. Timeframes

    Use higher timeframes for context and lower ones for detail.

  6. Support and Resistance

    Find the floors and ceilings that frame price.

  7. Candlesticks

    Read agreement, rejection and confirmation in each candle.

  8. Risk Management

    Position sizing, stop losses and protecting capital.

  9. Trading Psychology

    Manage emotion and judge the process, not the outcome.

Strategy

The strategy, written down

The plan, the rules and the two setups. Written down so nothing has to be argued in the middle of a trade.

Reference

Words, defined.

Pips, lots, leverage, liquidity: the vocabulary in plain English.
