Getting Started
You don't need a finance degree to trade. This module strips the intimidation out of the market — what a stock actually is, how exchanges work, who's on the other side of your trades, and why 90% of what you read on Twitter is noise.
By the end you'll speak the language fluently and know which questions to ask (and which to ignore) as you keep learning.
// what you'll master
- How the stock market actually works — no jargon
- The 20 terms every trader must know cold
- How to place your first trade (safely) with a broker
- Why most beginners lose — and how to avoid their playbook
// modules covered
- Getting Started4 lessons
The aim of this first section is to make sure everyone taking the course has a baseline of understanding about general financial terms, the stock market, and investing. This section will also highlight the difference between investing and trading.
Technical Analysis
Most 'technical analysis' content is noise dressed up as signal — 50 indicators, 200 patterns, zero edge. This module distills 11 years of screen time into the handful of setups that consistently pay.
You'll learn to read a chart the way institutions do: liquidity first, structure second, patterns last. By the end, you'll spot bull flags, cup-and-handles, double bottoms, and — critically — the fake versions of each.
// what you'll master
- The 6 candlestick patterns that actually matter
- How to read volume like a smart-money footprint
- Trend structure: what breaks a trend vs. a normal pullback
- Support & resistance — the levels institutions actually defend
- Chart patterns: real setups vs. the ones that look pretty but fail
// modules covered
- Section 1: Technical Analysis4 lessons
In this section you’ll learn the basics of technical analysis and how to gather evidence to increase the odds of a successful trade using candlesticks, chart patterns, and volume.

At this point you should understand the basics surrounding chart patterns, order types, and company valuations. In this section, you'll learn about what’s involved in placing an actual order.
Fundamental Analysis
Technicals tell you WHEN. Fundamentals tell you WHAT. Most retail traders skip this entirely — and it's why they hold losers hoping and dump winners early.
This module teaches you to read a 10-K the way an analyst does, spot earnings-report red flags before the crowd, and know the difference between a great company and a great stock (they're not always the same).
// what you'll master
- How to read an earnings report in 3 minutes
- P/E and PEG — which one to trust and when

// modules covered

In this section you'll learn about the key concepts of fundamental analysis and how to use P/E ratios and earnings reports to help determine valuation.
Protection Strategies
The traders who survive aren't the smartest — they're the ones who lose the smallest when they're wrong. Risk management is the single skill that separates a career from a blown account.
This module gives you a hard-coded playbook: how big to size, where the stop belongs (based on structure, not fear), and what to do when volatility spikes and your emotions want the wheel.
// what you'll master
- Position sizing math — down to the share
- Structure-based stops (not the amateur 5%-below-entry stop)
- When to trail, when to scale out, when to just get flat
- Volatility playbooks: earnings weeks, Fed days, macro shocks
- The 'R multiple' framework — measuring wins in units, not dollars
// modules covered
- Section 3: Order Types, Trading Styles and Risk Management6 lessons
In this section you’ll learn the difference between market orders, limit orders and when to use them. You’ll also learn the importance of risk management and understanding your risk profile.
Managing Your Emotions
You can memorize every pattern on the chart and still blow your account — because trading is 20% analysis, 80% psychology. Revenge trading, FOMO chases, cutting winners early, holding losers hoping: these are what actually empty accounts.
This module is the module. Most courses skip it because it's hard to teach. Ours doesn't — with journaling frameworks, real trade case studies, and self-audit tools built into the platform itself.
// what you'll master
- The 4 emotional states that destroy trades (and how to spot each in yourself)
- Revenge trading — the pattern-recognition drill to break it
- FOMO chase kill switch — a one-question test before every entry
- Emotional Audit tool — built into MarketMaster
// modules covered
- Section 6: Emotions & the Psychology of Trading4 lessons
In Section 3, we examined your attitude to risk and the potential of losing money. In this section, we are going to expand upon this and learn the key mindset shifts that you need to make to succeed at the highest level.
Creating Your Wealth Plan
Trading isn't the destination — freedom is. This module zooms out from the daily chart and helps you build the actual financial plan: what percentage of net worth to trade with, how to move gains into tax-advantaged accounts, and how to know when 'enough' really is enough.
By the end you'll have a written plan with milestones — the difference between 'someone who trades' and 'someone building generational wealth.'
// what you'll master
- Position-sizing at the portfolio level (not just per-trade)
- TFSA / RRSP / non-registered — which trades go where (Canadian tax context)

- When to reinvest gains vs. take chips off the table
