The curriculum

Twelve weeks, in order

A clear progression from market structure to independent practice. Curriculum covers market structure, research methodology, backtesting, journaling and risk concepts.

  1. Foundations
  2. 01

    Market foundations

    Contract mechanics, the vocabulary of auction and balance, and how to describe a session in terms that can be tested rather than felt. Your journal opens in week one and stays open for the whole programme.

  3. 02

    Execution and risk

    Position-sizing and bracket arithmetic as concepts, trade management, and the first written trade model — the one you are held to for the rest of the course.

  4. 03

    Strategy development and backtesting

    Turning an observation into a hypothesis you could be proven wrong about, and opening a manual backtest log. Simulation and the simulation log begin here.

  5. 04

    Systematic trading

    Reading your own evidence, refining one rule for a stated reason, and assembling a first playbook. The phase closes on a checkpoint you either pass or repeat.

  6. Build
  7. 05

    AI and research foundations

    What these tools actually are and are not, and a working research loop with Claude that has a verification step built into it rather than bolted on.

  8. 06

    Data and AI-assisted backtesting

    Market data and its traps, Python and pandas from zero, and a backtest you have built yourself rather than trusted.

  9. 07

    Indicator and tool development

    Translating discretion into explicit logic, and building tools that compute something you can defend line by line.

  10. 08

    Builder lab

    A build sprint, then validation, documentation and peer review — ending in a demo day where the work has to stand up to other people.

  11. Business
  12. 09

    Positioning and personal brand

    Deciding what you are actually for, and how an independent brand sits alongside ours without either pretending to be the other.

  13. 10

    Content and distribution

    Story, pillars, formats and a content engine you could hold for a year rather than a fortnight.

  14. 11

    Marketing ethics, sales and business fundamentals

    How to market education without promising an outcome, what an honest sales conversation sounds like, and the business mechanics underneath both.

  15. 12

    Pathways

    Where the work goes next, how the separate programmes fit together, and the ninety-day plan you leave with.

How admission works

  1. 01

    Apply

    A short written application. We ask about your experience and goals — never about your finances.

  2. 02

    Review

    Every application is read. You'll hear back either way, with a decision and a reason.

  3. 03

    Private checkout

    Accepted applicants receive a single-use payment link. There is no public purchase path.

  4. 04

    Onboarding

    Enrollment includes permanent access to the program material and channels.
