Strategy guides

Five setups, each with written rules

Every setup in the course comes with the conditions it needs, where to enter and where the stop goes. Pick one to see it on a chart.

Breakout

Price keeps stalling under the same level, then closes above it.

  1. When it applies

    Price has tested the same ceiling three or more times without closing above it.

  2. Entry

    On the close of the first candle that finishes clearly above the ceiling.

  3. Stop

    Just under the low of that breakout candle.

Curriculum

Eight modules, risk first

The first three modules are about protecting your account. Strategies come after you know how to size a trade.

Risk first

Same losing streak, three very different accounts

Every trader hits a run of losses. Here is a $10,000 account after ten losing trades in a row, at three risk levels. It is just arithmetic, and it is why the course starts with position sizing.

Balance after each loss

Example: $10,000 starting balance

StartDrag to change10 losses

Risking 1% per trade

$10,000

Nothing lost yetNeeds +0.0% to get back to $10,000

Risking 2% per trade

Nothing lost yetNeeds +0.0% to get back to $10,000

Risking 10% per trade

$10,000

Nothing lost yetNeeds +0.0% to get back to $10,000

Each bar is the full $10,000. A loss takes the same percentage of whatever is left, so the bigger the risk, the steeper the climb back.

No. The first lessons assume you have never opened a chart. You learn how to size a trade and where a stop goes before you see a single strategy.
