Areas we help in
Where you are decides what you need.

Student stories
Real students.
Real turning points.
Every student here started with the same confusion, inconsistency and pressure. Their results are their own. The turning point, where the process clicked and the trading changed, is what we build the program around.
Cory's pathFrom struggling student to Head Trading Coach.
He came in with the same problem many traders have. With the right process, honest feedback, and accountability, he built something repeatable. Now he coaches other traders through it.

How we do it
Where you start, and what you'll be able to do.
Everyone begins at one of three points. We find the first thing you can't do yet, start you there, and cut anything that isn't moving you forward. Each stage ends with abilities you didn't have before. When all seven are true, you're a consistent trader.

How long does it take?
Depends on you. The plan is built around the time you actually have, not a cohort calendar. Brand new traders have gone from nothing to running the full process in 90 days. Experienced traders who only needed the back half have gotten through in 30 to 45.
Every phase runs through CORE 4: Calibrate, Operate, Regulate, Evaluate.
