Instrument Training
Three parallel tracks for futures, options, and stock trading. Each track applies the Level 1 foundations to a specific instrument with dedicated mechanics, risk management, and psychology modules.
What’s Inside
Level 2 branches into three instrument-specific tracks. Track 2A covers futures: contract mechanics, leverage, prop firm trading, and platform mastery. Track 2B covers options: the Greeks, strategies from verticals to iron condors, and options-specific psychology traps like time decay anxiety. Track 2C covers stocks: market structure, the PDT rule, scanning, and building bridges to futures and options. Pick the track that matches your instrument, or work through more than one.
