The lessons, in order

A path is the academy's answer to "where do I start". The order is deliberate: each lesson assumes the ones above it, which is why reading them this way works better than picking at a category list. In the app the path tracks how far through you are and what comes next.

  1. Discipline Over Motivation Motivation is weakest exactly when you need it most, so the answer is structure rather than resolve. Beginner4 min
  2. FOMO and Revenge Trading Two emotions take more money than bad analysis ever does, and neither is fixed by deciding to stay calm. Beginner4 min
  3. The Power of Patience The market pays for selection, not activity, and the cost of activity can be worked out to the dollar. Intermediate4 min
  4. Handling Losses A loss is the fee a method pays for access to the trades that work, and size is what decides whether you can afford it. Intermediate4 min
  5. Process vs Outcome Good decisions sometimes lose and bad decisions sometimes win, which is why a single result tells you almost nothing. Intermediate4 min

  9. Thinking In Probabilities, Not Certainties A setup changes the distribution of outcomes without deciding any single one, which is the assumption everything else is built on. Intermediate4 min
  10. Treating Trading Like A Business Judged per trade, a loss is a personal failure. Judged per quarter, it is a budgeted cost line. Intermediate4 min
