Observe
Describe structure, regime, volatility, and liquidity without converting every observation into a trade.
- Trend and range context
- Level quality
- Volatility state
- Scenario mapping
The Risk Lab
A curriculum built around decisions, not predictions.
This is the working map behind our training: four competencies that turn technical observation into controlled, reviewable action.
Define
Write the thesis, trigger, invalidation, expected path, and conditions that mean no trade.
- Objective triggers
- Technical stops
- Reward-to-risk limits
- Contingency rules
Constrain
Fit a position inside account and portfolio limits before exposure begins.
- Position sizing
- Aggregate open risk
- Correlation control
- Drawdown protocols
Review
Evaluate plan adherence and decision quality without letting one outcome rewrite the lesson.
- R-multiple records
- Execution grading
- Error classification
- Weekly experiments
Pre-trade card
A one-page gate that forces context, invalidation, size, and event risk into view before an order.
Decision replay
Historical charts revealed candle by candle to practice choices without hindsight.
Assessment philosophy
Evidence over impression
We do not assess learners by hypothetical profit. A trade can win for the wrong reason or lose despite sound execution. Progress is demonstrated through clear plans, accurate sizing, rule adherence, and honest review.
- Case decisions are graded against stated rules
- Calculations must be reproducible
- Journals distinguish plan, action, and outcome
- Feedback targets one change at a time
