Module 01 · Foundations
Foundations4 lessons
The market, the numbers, the mechanics — what you are actually buying and selling, and what it costs.
01.1

Module 02 · Charts & Analysis
Charts & Analysis4 lessons
Reading price like a desk trader: candles, structure, indicators and the calendar that moves it all.

Module 03 · Risk & Psychology
Risk & Psychology3 lessons
The part that decides whether you survive: sizing, stops, expectancy and the discipline to follow them.
03.1

03.2
Stop-Losses and Thinking in R
A stop is where your idea is wrong, priced. The R multiple turns every trade into the same unit — and makes your statistics honest.

The Psychology of Execution
