Foundations
Everything a trader needs before touching a live account. How markets move, how to read a chart, how to size a position, how to manage your own psychology, and how to build a plan that survives contact with the market.
What’s Inside
Five modules covering the skills that separate funded traders from blown accounts. You'll start with how markets actually work, because you can't trade what you don't understand. From there: reading price action without indicators, sizing positions using risk math instead of gut feeling, managing the emotional patterns that destroy accounts, and taking your first structured trades in simulation. Every concept in Level 2 and beyond builds on these foundations. Work through each module in order.
What You’ll Be Able to Do
- Understand how price discovery, supply, and demand drive every market
- Read price action on any chart without relying on indicators
- Calculate position size and stop placement using the 1% rule
- Recognize emotional patterns that lead to revenge trading and tilt
- Build a basic trading plan and pre-trade routine
Protocols You’ll Learn
The Pre-Execution Protocol
3-step pre-trade checklist: check position size, check stop placement, check directional bias.
The Drawdown Protocol
2-tier drawdown response: 50% of daily risk limit, cut size in half. 100%, done for the day. Close the platform, walk away.
