Curriculum

A clear step-by-step path. No fluff.

Section 1 — The Rules-Based Approach
You’ll build a simple framework so trading stops being random.
+
  • What ‘process-first’ means (and why most traders fail)
  • The 3 pillars: edge, execution, risk
  • Your first trading rules (non-negotiables)
Section 2 — Risk & Position Sizing
You’ll learn to control downside so you can survive long enough to improve.
+
  • Risk-per-trade and max daily loss (simple formulas)
  • Sizing examples (small account + larger account)
  • Stops: where they go, when they move, when they don’t
  • Common beginner mistakes that cause big drawdowns
Section 3 — Entries, Exits, and Trade Planning
You’ll build a repeatable checklist and stop impulse clicking.
+
  • Entry triggers (confirmation vs chasing)
  • Targets + invalidation (what you must decide before entry)
  • Basic trade management (partials, break-even rules)
  • When to skip a trade even if it ‘looks good’
Section 4 — Your Journaling System
You’ll track the right stats and create a feedback loop that improves you fast.
+
  • What to journal (and what not to waste time on)
  • Mistake categories (overtrading, FOMO, revenge, sizing)
  • Daily review template + weekly review template
  • Building your first playbook page
Who this is for
  • Brand-new traders who need structure
  • Anyone taking random entries without a plan
  • Traders blowing up days due to poor risk rules
